  In FIG. 1, an ear-mounted mask 1 is mainly composed of a filter 3 that can cover a person's mouth and nose and a frame 2 that holds the filter 3 and can be put on a person's ear.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the frame 2 includes a vine 21 that extends from left and right ear hooks 22 that hangs on both ears of the person to a portion that hits the nose, and a mouth of a person provided continuously to the vine 21. And a filter holding frame 25 that can surround a range including the nose. The vine portion 21 is provided with a hook portion 23 on the left and right sides outside the filter holding frame 25 that can hook an elastic string 35 of the filter 3 described later.

  The frame 2 may be made of a metal such as a light alloy as in the case of the glasses frame, or may be made of a synthetic resin or other appropriate material. Since the frame 2 is desired to be highly portable, it is made of a shape memory material that can be folded into any shape when it is carried and restored to a shape suitable for that person's face shape when used. Good.

  Alternatively, the entire frame 2 or the vine portion 21 may be made of a flexible material. If the entire frame 2 or the vine portion 21 is flexible, it can be deformed according to the face shape of the person who uses it, and fit to the face shape of the person who uses it.

  In the frame 2, a bent portion 24 is formed at a portion corresponding to the nose of the person, that is, at a central portion of the vine portion 21, in accordance with the bulge of the nose. As a result, the filter 3 described later fits well to the human face, and the gap between the filter 3 and the human face can be reduced. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 5, it is good to form the bending part 26 which goes back to the lower end part of the filter holding frame 25 so that a person's chin may be followed. By doing so, the frame 2 can be stably attached to the human face, and the gap between the filter 3 and the human face can be reduced.

The filter 3 is made of a sheet-like material that blocks air and powder and dust from passing through, such as gauze and non-woven fabric, and has a size that can cover the area surrounded by the vine portion 21 of the frame 2 and the filter holding frame 25. Have. 3, as shown in FIG. 4, the filter 3 is a front and has a substantially square when viewed from the rear, the side edges of the left and right parts 31 Shi return fold is folded back from the front side to the rear side formed Has been. Also, the lower edge of the filter 3 Shi return fold is folded back from the front side to the rear side section 32 is formed.

The left and right side lower portions of the filter 3, the overlapping portion of the return Shi parts 32 and folding return Shi section 31 folded above is formed, Shi return and folding parts 31 Shi return folding the by the overlapping portions are secured together parts 32 is maintained. Reference numeral 33 indicates a fixed portion between the overlapping portions. The fixing portion 33 may be formed by adhesion or by adding a member such as a clip. When the material of the filter 3 includes a material that can be welded such as a synthetic resin, it is formed by welding. May be.

  An elastic string 35 made of a rubber string or the like is provided along the upper edge of the filter 3. The elastic string 35 is sewn along the upper edge portion of the filter 3, but a bag may be formed by folding the upper edge portion of the elastic string 35 and the elastic string 35 may be passed through the bag. Alternatively, the elastic string 35 may be fixed to the filter 3 by adhesion or welding. Both ends of the elastic cord 35 are pulled out to the left and right sides of the filter 3 and folded back to form a loop portion 36, and both ends of the elastic cord 35 are fixed to the filter 3 near the elastic cord. The fixing means at both ends of the elastic string 35 to the filter 3 may be adhesive, heat welding, pressure bonding, or other appropriate fixing means.

  Since the filter 3 covers the mouth and nose of an uneven person, the filter 3 is three-dimensionally molded and cut so that the person's mouth and nose can be covered comfortably, or an appropriate number of tacks (tuck). ) To make room. Since the periphery of the filter 3 is restricted by the frame 2, a gap tends to be generated between the filter 3 and the human face. Therefore, it is preferable that the folded edge portions 31 and 32 are made large so that the folded edge portions 31 and 32 are in contact with the face.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the ear-hook type mask 1 according to this embodiment is used with a mask filter 3 mounted on a mask frame 2. The left and right sides of the filter holding frame 25 of the frame 2 are inserted into the folded portions 31 on the left and right sides of the filter 3, and the lower portion of the filter holding frame 25 is inserted into the folded portion 32 on the lower side of the filter 3. Since the part extending from the left and right sides to the lower part of the filter holding frame 25 is formed in an arc shape, the fixing portion 33 of the folded portion 31 and the overlapping portion of the folded portion 32 is located outside the filter holding frame 25. ing. Therefore, the fixing portion 33 formed to maintain the folded portions 31 and 32 does not become an obstacle for inserting the filter holding frame 25 into the folded portions 31 and 32.
