  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same elements, and duplicate descriptions are omitted.

  FIG. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of a mask according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a rear view showing the mask of FIG. The mask 1 includes a main body 10 and a breath leakage prevention member 20. The main body 10 has a sheet shape and covers only the nose and mouth or only the mouth of the wearer's eyes, nose and mouth. The main body 10 is made of a material having air permeability. As such a material, for example, a nonwoven fabric, gauze, or paper can be used.

  A breath leak preventing member 20 is provided on the inner surface of the main body 10 (the surface facing the wearer's face). The breath leak preventing member 20 is also in the form of a sheet. In this embodiment, the breath leak preventing member 20 has substantially the same shape and size as the main body 10. Therefore, the breath leakage preventing member 20 is provided over the entire left and right direction of the main body 10 (the left and right direction in FIGS. 1 and 2). Moreover, as shown in FIG.1 and FIG.2, the breath leak prevention member 20 has overlapped with the substantially whole body part 10 in the expand | deployed state.

  The breath leak preventing member 20 is attached in the vicinity of the upper end of the main body 10. Specifically, the region near the upper end of the breath leak preventing member 20 and the region near the upper end of the main body 10 are fixed to each other. Such fixing can be performed by sewing, for example. In that case, about the left-right direction of the main-body part 10 and the breath leak prevention member 20, the whole may be sewn up and only a part may be sewn up. Further, the left and right ends of the main body 10 and the breath leakage prevention member 20 may be sewn together by a chain stitch method so that the thread can be removed as necessary. The breath leak preventing member 20 has air permeability. The breath leak preventing member 20 may be made of the same material as that of the main body 10 or may be made of a material different from that of the main body 10.

  The breath leak preventing member 20 is formed with a fold 22 (first fold) and a fold 24 (second fold). The folds 22 and 24 are provided so that the breath leak preventing member 20 can be easily folded along the folds 22 and 24. The folds 22 and 24 can be formed, for example, by applying pressure to the breath leak preventing member 20 and attaching creases.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the breath leak preventing member 20 has a plurality of folds 22 and 24. Each fold 22, 24 extends in the left-right direction of the main body 10. When viewed from the back surface (surface shown in FIG. 2) side of the breath leak preventing member 20, the fold line 22 becomes a valley fold line, and the fold line 24 becomes a mountain fold line. The fold 22 is provided closer to the upper end of the main body 10 than the fold 24. For this reason, on the breath leak prevention member 20, the area | region 20a between an upper end part and the crease | fold 22, the area | region 20b between the crease | fold 22 and the crease | fold 24, and between the crease | fold 24 and a lower end part A region 20c exists. The folds 22 and 24 are disposed on the breath leakage prevention member 20 at substantially equal intervals. Therefore, the areas of the three regions 20a, 20b, and 20c are substantially the same. The breath leak preventing member 20 is provided so as to be able to be folded along the folds 22 and 24.

  3 and 4 are a rear view and a side view, respectively, showing a state in which the breath leakage preventing member 20 is folded back in the mask 1. However, in FIG. 4, illustration of the fixing portion 30 is omitted. As shown in these drawings, the breath-leak preventing member 20 is folded back along the folds 22 and 24 to be in a three-fold state. And the breath leak prevention member 20 covers the space between the main-body part 10 and a wearer's face from upper direction in this state.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the breath leak preventing member 20 can be lifted up above the main body 10 in the deployed state. The breath leak preventing member 20 is configured to cover the eyes of the wearer by being raised up above the main body 10 in a state of being deployed in this manner.

  The breath leak preventing member 20 preferably contains at least one of a moisturizing component, a fragrance component, and an antibacterial component. Examples of the moisturizing component include collagen, hyaluronic acid, and glycerins. As an aromatic component, what emits the fragrance of eucalyptus, rosemary, lavender, and other herbs is mentioned, for example. Examples of the antibacterial component include catechin and other tannins. As tannin, what is contained in tea and coffee can be used.

  The breath leak preventing member 20 may be colored. In that case, the breath leak preventing member 20 is preferably colored in a color different from that of the main body 10. The breath leak preventing member 20 is preferably colored in a dark color.

  Further, a fixing portion 30 for fixing the main body portion 10 to the wearer's face is attached to the main body portion 10. In the present embodiment, the fixing portion 30 is a string-like member that is hung on the wearer's ear. As this fixing | fixed part 30, a rubber string can be used, for example.

  The effect of the mask 1 will be described. In the mask 1, a breath leakage preventing member 20 is attached in the vicinity of the upper end portion of the main body portion 10. The breath leakage preventing member 20 is formed with folds 22 and 24 extending in the left-right direction of the main body 10. Therefore, by folding the breath leak preventing member 20 along the folds 22 and 24, the space between the main body 10 and the wearer's face is covered from above by the folded breath leak preventing member 20. become. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the breath from leaking from the upper end portion of the main body portion 10. Further, in the mask 1, not only the main body portion 10 but also the breath leakage preventing member 20 has a sheet shape. For this reason, the mask 1 can be stored compactly. Therefore, the mask 1 which can prevent fogging of the glasses and can be stored compactly is realized.

  Further, since the space between the main body 10 and the wearer's face can be secured widely by the thickness of the folded breath-leakage prevention member 20, there is an advantage that it is easy to breathe.

  The breath leak preventing member 20 has a plurality of folds (folds 22 and folds 24). Thereby, since the breath-leakage prevention member 20 can be folded in three, the breath-leakage prevention effect can be enhanced as compared with the case of folding in two (when there is only one fold).

  The breath leakage prevention member 20 is formed with a fold 22 that becomes a valley fold line and a fold 24 that becomes a mountain fold line. For this reason, when the breath leak preventing member 20 is folded along the folds 22 and 24, the corrugated breath leak preventing member 20 can be obtained (see FIG. 4). The breath leakage preventing member 20 having such a shape is particularly suitable for preventing breath leakage from the upper end portion of the main body portion 10. This is because exhalation can be captured at the “mountain” portion (the portion surrounded by the dotted line L1 in FIG. 4).

  The folds 22 and 24 are disposed on the breath leakage prevention member 20 at substantially equal intervals. For this reason, when the breath leak preventing member 20 is folded in three, the three regions 20a, 20b, and 20c are completely overlapped. This contributes to an improvement in the aesthetic appearance of the mask 1 in a state where the breath leak preventing member 20 is folded.

  The breath leak prevention member 20 is provided over the entire body 10 in the left-right direction. Thereby, the breath leak preventing effect by the breath leak preventing member 20 can be enjoyed in the entire upper end portion of the main body portion 10.

  The breath leak preventing member 20 is configured to overlap substantially the entire main body 10 in the unfolded state (not folded). By using the mask 1 in a state where the main body portion 10 and the breath leakage prevention member 20 are overlapped, harmful particles such as PM2.5, pollen and virus can be effectively prevented from entering.

  Thus, the mask 1 can be used in two ways, with the breath leak preventing member 20 folded and with the breath leak preventing member 20 deployed. Thereby, the convenience for the wearer is dramatically increased. For example, when the wearer wears spectacles, the wearer uses the mask 1 in a state in which the breath leak preventing member 20 is folded with priority given to the prevention of fogging of the spectacles, while not wearing spectacles. In other words, it can be said that the mask 1 is used in a state in which the breath leakage preventing member 20 is deployed with priority given to prevention of invasion of harmful particles.

  The breath leak preventing member 20 is configured to cover the eyes of the wearer by being raised up above the main body 10 in a deployed state. For this reason, the breath leak preventing member 20 can also be used as an eye mask. By using the breath leak preventing member 20 as an eye mask in this way, it is possible to hide the sleeping face and prevent the eyes and surrounding skin from drying out.

  In the case where the breath leak preventing member 20 contains a moisturizing component, moisture is supplied from the breath leak preventing member 20 into the oral cavity together with inhalation during breathing, so that drying of the throat can be effectively prevented. Further, when the breath leak preventing member 20 is used as an eye mask, it is possible to effectively prevent the eyes and surrounding skin from drying. When the breath leak preventing member 20 contains an aroma component, the wearer can use the mask 1 more comfortably by sucking the component into the nasal cavity during breathing. When the breath leak preventing member 20 contains an antibacterial component, it is possible to suppress the propagation of germs during expiration or inhalation, so that the wearer can use the mask 1 more hygienically.

  When the breath leak preventing member 20 is colored, the fashionability of the mask 1 can be improved. By improving fashion, even people who don't usually want to wear a mask can wear it easily. In particular, when the breath leak preventing member 20 is colored in a color different from that of the main body 10, the breath leak preventing member 20 becomes an accent, and the fashionability of the mask 1 can be further improved. Further, when the breath leak preventing member 20 is colored in a dark color, the light shielding property is improved, and therefore the breath leak preventing member 20 is suitable for use as an eye mask.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. In the said embodiment, the example in which two folds (fold 22 and fold 24) were formed in the breath leak prevention member 20 was shown. However, the crease formed in the breath leak preventing member 20 may be one, or may be three or more.

  FIG. 6 shows an example in which three folds are formed in the breath leak preventing member 20. In the drawing, the breath leak preventing member 20 is formed with a fold 26 (third fold) in addition to the folds 22 and 24 described above. Similar to the fold line 22, the fold line 26 becomes a valley fold line. The fold 24 is located between the fold 22 and the fold 26. That is, the folds (folds 22 and 26) serving as valley fold lines and the folds (folds 24) serving as mountain fold lines are alternately arranged. These folds 22, 24, and 26 are disposed on the breath leakage prevention member 20 at substantially equal intervals.

  In this case, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the breath leak preventing member 20 can be folded in four, so that the breath leak preventing effect can be further enhanced. Further, since the folds that are the valley fold lines and the folds that are the mountain fold lines are alternately arranged, the corrugated breath leak suitable for preventing the breath leak from the upper end portion of the main body 10. The prevention member 20 can be obtained.

  In the said embodiment, the example in which the breath leak prevention member 20 was provided over the whole left-right direction of the main-body part 10 was shown. However, the breath leak preventing member 20 may be provided only in a part of the main body 10 in the left-right direction.

  In the said embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the adhesion part may be provided in the breath leak prevention member 20. As shown in FIG. The figure shows the surface of the breath leak preventing member 20 (the surface facing the main body 10). An adhesive part 42 (first adhesive part) and an adhesive part 44 (second adhesive part) are provided on the surface of the breath leak preventing member 20. The adhesive portion 42 is provided at the peripheral edge portion along the lower end portion of the breath leak preventing member 20. Further, the adhesive portion 44 is provided at the peripheral edge portion along the left and right end portions of the breath leak preventing member 20.

  The breath leakage prevention member 20 is detachably bonded to the main body 10 via the adhesive portions 42 and 44 in the deployed state. Here, being peelable means that the wearer can easily peel off the breath leakage preventing member 20 from the body portion 10 without damaging the body portion 10 and the breath leakage preventing member 20. The breath leak preventing member 20 can be realized by appropriately adjusting the adhesive strength of the adhesive portions 42 and 44.

  With this configuration, the breath leak preventing member 20 can be prevented from being displaced from the main body 10 when the mask 1 is used in a state where the breath leak preventing member 20 is deployed. Further, when the breath leak preventing member 20 is used as an eye mask, the breath leak preventing member 20 is prevented from being displaced from the face by adhering the breath leak preventing member 20 to the face via the adhesive portions 42 and 44. be able to.

  In particular, the breath leak preventing member 20 is detachably bonded to the main body 10. For this reason, it is possible to easily switch the usage state of the mask 1 (switching between the state where the breath leak preventing member 20 is folded and the state where the breath leak preventing member 20 is deployed). The adhesive portions 42 and 44 are provided at the peripheral edge of the breath leak preventing member 20. Thereby, when using the mask 1 in the state in which the breath leak preventing member 20 is deployed, it is possible to avoid the adhesive portions 42 and 44 from hindering breathing.
