Description

  The present invention relates to a multi-purpose face mask used on the face in the face-up state. More specifically, the face mask is placed on the face when washing hair in the face-up state in the beauty or barber industry, or the operator's breathing in the body treatment industry etc. The present invention relates to a face mask that is placed on the face so as not to be applied to the person to be treated, or is placed on the face and used in the esthetic technology industry for impregnation with oil or cosmetic liquid.

When performing hair washing services on the back in a beauty salon or the like, place a dry towel folded in a rectangle so that water and shampoo etc. are not applied to the face, covering the eyes and nostrils, and spread from the eyebrows to the chin. It has been common practice to absorb water with a towel on the face so that liquid does not adhere directly to the face. In this method, the patient is covered with a towel with a thickness that is folded and can not feel the light, can not grasp the surrounding situation, becomes uneasy, and feels weight in the nose part and breathing is difficult There was. On the other hand, the practitioner needs to perform the work of washing and drying the used towel and then folding it into a predetermined shape for the next use, which requires labor, and also requires a large space for the towel storage.
Conventionally, in the mask body formed by superposing a plurality of cotton cloths of a substantially rectangular shape that is long in the vertical direction and has a vertical width that can continuously cover the face to the neck and a horizontal width that is substantially the same as the face width, The thing which opened the ventilation hole which a nose exposes is proposed (for example, refer patent document 1).
In the case of the mask disclosed in Patent Document 1, when it is placed on the face of a person, the hole must be accurately aligned with the nose. There are cases where the original purpose of use cannot be achieved. In addition, since the eyes are covered with a thick cotton cloth, the patient is less likely to feel the light, and as a result, it may be difficult to grasp what position the practitioner is in and what he / she is doing. There was a problem that there was.
There has been proposed a mask in which a U-shaped notch is provided in a portion corresponding to the nose using a water absorbent paper or cloth that is large enough to cover the face (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
The mask disclosed in Patent Document 2 must also be applied to the face of the patient accurately so that the lower side portion of the U-shaped cut is located in the nostril, especially when the mask is impregnated with liquid and comes into contact with the face However, there is a problem that a slight misalignment blocks the nostril and hinders breathing, which is dangerous.
A face guard having a mouth guard part in which a cutout part is formed in a part corresponding to a nostril in a mask sized to cover the face on the back and a part corresponding to the mouth is provided with a net is proposed (for example, And Patent Document 3).
The face guard disclosed in Patent Document 3 has an opening in the nose-corresponding portion so that intake is not hindered, and the mouth-corresponding portion has a net stretched, so that the inner surface of the mask does not get wet due to breathing. There are advantages. However, when placed on the face, the field of view is not secured, and the liquid splashed on the face may easily pass through the mesh of the mouth guard part and fall directly into the mouth, and enter the mouth. It does not fulfill the function as well. Further, when the face guard is impregnated with oil or cosmetic liquid and placed on the face, oil or the like does not adhere around the mouth which is easily dried, and the cosmetic purpose is not achieved. Furthermore, one piece of fabric, such as polyester, must be cut into a shape with many cuts, and a net should be stretched and sewn on the triangular shape or the complicated shape indicated by reference numeral 34 in FIG. In other words, the face guard manufacturing process is complicated, the manufacturing time is prolonged, and the cost is higher than the number of parts.
As a face towel made of a towel, a towel fabric is provided by arranging cuts having wide V-shaped cut edges on both left and right edges of a substantially rectangular towel fabric whose front view is long in the vertical direction and the front view is outward. In the center of the nose, a nasal break is provided on a line that divides the width approximately in half, and the lower end of the nasal break is continuously provided with an opening for protruding the nose head. There has been proposed a face towel that is mainly used as a steaming towel, which is exposed to the outside from the cut-out line and is placed with the nostril exposed from the opening (see, for example, Patent Document 4).
In the case of the face towel disclosed in Patent Document 4, the face towel is also placed on the heel, the surroundings cannot be visually recognized, and anxiety may occur during the treatment. Since the nose is exposed to the outside, the cosmetic liquid or the like impregnated in the face towel does not adhere to the nose. In addition, when the face towel disclosed in Patent Document 4 is placed on the face when washing the hair in a supine state, the entire nose is exposed, so there is nothing to block the scattered liquid, and there is a risk of falling directly on the nose. There was a problem that there was.
Covering from the eyebrows to the position under the nose except for the mouth and forehead, a total of three cloths are used: two large fan-shaped cloths having substantially the same shape, and a fan-shaped cloth having a smaller area than these two cloths. The corners of each fabric are sewn together to form the top, the side edges of the other fan-shaped fabric are sewn together to form a ridgeline, and the face with the inside surface of the top of the corner floating from the nose. What was coat | covered is proposed (for example, refer patent document 5).
The covering cloth disclosed in Patent Document 5 has an advantage that the user does not feel unsanitary and the mouth is not blocked because the nose does not touch the cloth. However, since there is nothing to cover the mouth, there is a risk that the liquid splashed during the hair washing may enter the lips or the open mouth during conversation. In addition, since the eyes are closed, the user has a problem that he / she cannot feel what the practitioner is doing and feels anxiety.
There has been proposed a face mask that is impregnated with a cosmetic liquid and adhered to the face for a certain period of time with the adsorption power of the cosmetic liquid and the nonwoven fabric, and peeled off from the face when the cosmetic liquid evaporates and dries (for example, see Patent Document 6 or 7).
The mask shown by patent document 6 or 7 is used for the use which uses the nonwoven fabric of 1 sheet as a material, and adheres to a face, and is used for one-time use, and cannot be reused. Assuming that the shape shown in Patent Document 6 or 7 is manufactured using a thick woven fabric such as a towel woven fabric, the eyes and nostril portions are open, so the liquid splashed by washing the hair falls directly on the eyes and nose, There is a problem that the purpose as a face covering for washing hair is not fulfilled, and since the shape is complicated, the sewing work is complicated and the manufacturing cost is increased.

  Even if the eyes and nostrils are covered with a cloth piece, the present invention makes it possible to visually recognize the surrounding situation and does not make it difficult to breathe, and also prevents the splashed liquid from being applied to the eyes and nose when washing the hair, and has a simple structure. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a face mask that has a simple manufacturing process and can reduce costs.

In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention is characterized in that the inner edge of the pair of cover pieces having the same shape is vertically moved with the same width of 2.5 to 4.0 cm. The overlapping parts are sewn together to form a pair of cover pieces, and the two cover pieces have a size capable of covering the entire face when deployed. When placed on the face on the back, the covering piece tilts the outer part downward from the overlapping part and the overlapping part can be expanded corresponding to the face shape, and the entire peripheral edge of the two integrated covering pieces is wrapped with tape It is characterized by being sewn and sewn .

Since the overlapping part where the inner end edges of the cover pieces that are paired overlap each other is provided and both ends in the longitudinal direction of the overlapping part are fixed, the side of the face tilts downward when placed on the face on the back Depending on the shape, the overlapping part expands, light enters through the expanded part, the surrounding situation can be grasped, and nasal breathing is not hindered.
Since the overlapping portion is expanded during use, there is an effect that the manufacturing operation is simple and the cost can be reduced as a result without specially cutting out the nose portion as in the prior art.

  In the present invention, the opposing inner end edges of the two cover pieces are overlapped vertically with a predetermined overlap width, and the two cover pieces are sewn up and down at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the overlap portion. When it is placed on the face on its back, the outer edge moves downward and the overlapping part expands, so that the surrounding situation can be captured with the entire face covered, and an easy nose. Realized that breathing could be secured.

  A first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The covering pieces 1 and 2 are made of a material having water absorption, flexibility, and washing resistance. Specifically, it is preferable to use a towel fabric as a material. This is because towel fabric is made of cotton yarn and a pile is formed on the front surface and / or the back surface, so that it is excellent in heat retention, water absorption, washing resistance and touch. The cover pieces 1 and 2 are formed in a substantially semicircular shape in front view having a straight portion and an arc-shaped portion, and the straight portions are edged for mellow stitching for the purpose of unclamping as inner edge portions 101 and 201. Yes. The inner edge portion 201 of the cover piece 2 is disposed on the lower surface side of the cover piece 1 from the inner end edge portion 101 of the cover piece 1 to the arcuate portion side of the cover piece 1, and has an overlapped portion having a predetermined width. 3 is provided. Although the superposition | polymerization width | variety of the superposition | polymerization part 3 is not limited, it is easy to expand when about 2.5 cm-4.0 cm is mounted in the face, and it is suitable that it is about 3.0 cm. The lengths of the inner edge portions 101 and 201 of the covering pieces 1 and 2 are set to be longer than the length from the hairline of the person to the chin. Specific values vary depending on the age and gender of the user. In the state where the covering pieces 1 and 2 are unfolded via the overlapping portion 3, the left and right lateral width is set to a length that covers the face of a person in the supine position up to the hairline near the back of the left and right ears. . The covering piece 1 and the covering piece 2 include the overlapping portion 3, and the entire periphery is wrapped and sewn with a tape 4 such as a bias tape, and the long side extends in the direction of the nasal muscles that covers the entire face of a normal person in a deployed state. It is formed in a substantially elliptical shape. Reference numeral 17 denotes a seam. As a specific example, two identically shaped covering pieces 1 and 2 having a substantially semicircular shape with a distance of about 14 and 5 cm perpendicular to the straight portion from the center of the straight portion having a length of about 25.0 cm are superposed on each other by about 3.0 cm. It has a width overlapped part 3 and is arranged in a vertically long oval shape with a long side extending in the direction of the nose muscles of about 26.0 cm in a deployed state and a short side extending in the direction of both ears of about 25.0 cm. Is encased in a biased tape 4 and sewn.

The face mask of Example 1 is used by being placed on the face on the back. The face on the back is the highest at the nasal head, and when the overlapping portion 3 is placed along the nose muscles, the covering pieces 1 and 2 are inclined downward toward the outer side corresponding to the shape of the face. Will face down. The overlapping portion 3 expands due to the weight of the covering pieces 1 and 2. The inner edge portions 101 and 201 are raised, and the cover pieces 1 and 2 are guarded in the vicinity of the inner edge portions 101 and 201 so that water splashed during shampooing does not fall directly on the face. By expanding the overlapping portion 3, the user can feel the surrounding situation and light from the gap between the inner end edge portion 101 and the inner end edge portion 201. In addition, the nose and mouth are exposed from the expanded portion of the overlapped portion 3 so that breathing can be performed easily and conversation is not hindered.
When the face mask of Example 1 is impregnated with oil or cosmetic liquid and placed on the face on its back, the oil or liquid is absorbed by the fibers of the covering pieces 1 and 2, and oil and cosmetic ingredients can be supplied to the face for a long time. effective. In addition, when oil or the like is to be attached to the skin of the lip or nasal muscle portion, the portion near the inner edge portions 101 and 201 of the covering pieces 1 and 2 is pressed against the nose with a finger, so that the oil is impregnated. The covering pieces 1 and 2 adhere to the nose due to the adsorption force of the fibers. When the covering pieces 1 and 2 are made of towel fabric, the heat retaining property is high, and the oil and the cosmetic liquid are kept for a long time, so that the treatment can be performed for a long time.

Embodiment 2 will be described with reference to FIG. The difference from the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 is that the covering pieces 5 and 6 are double. The covering pieces 5 and 6 are each formed by folding an elliptical woven fabric into two folds with the long side as the fold, and forming a mountain fold fold as the inner edge. The inner edge of the cover piece 6 overlaps the lower surface of the cover piece 5 with an overlap width of about 3 cm from the inner edge of the cover piece 5 toward the arcuate part of the cover piece 5. The entire peripheral edges of the cover pieces 5 and 6 are wrapped and sewn with a tape 7 such as a bias tape.
In the second embodiment, the cover pieces 5 and 6 are made of double woven fabric. However, if the inner end edge portion is unwound, it may be triple or more. It is also conceivable that a water-absorbing member, a cold-retaining agent or a heat-retaining agent is disposed inside the woven fabric to further increase the cold-retaining time or the heat-retaining time.
In addition, the arcuate fabric folds that are folded into the respective covering pieces 5 and 6 are centered on the folds of each of the arcuate portions facing each other, and the upper and lower surfaces are made to have the same color. By doing so, it can be made reversible.
In the second embodiment, a description has been given of a case in which one oval fabric is folded around a crease as a cover piece. However, two substantially semicircular fabrics having the same shape are superposed vertically. The present invention also includes a face mask in which a straight cover portion is superposed on a pair of cover pieces and the entire periphery is sewn with a tape. Two upper fabrics and lower fabrics of the same shape are arranged vertically to form one cover piece, so that the inner edge of the upper fabric and the lower fabric can be opened vertically. It is possible to use a cooling agent and a heat insulating agent in and out, and to allow the cold insulating agent and the like to be taken in and out freely inside each cover piece. If the cover piece is made of towel fabric, the temperature of the cold insulation agent or thermal insulation agent is indirectly transmitted to the skin due to the fact that the towel fabric fibers are not dense, the yarn is thick, and the presence of piles. Alternatively, there is an effect that the heat retention time is maintained for a long time.

  A third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The covering pieces 8 and 9 are made of a material having high water absorption, high flexibility and washing resistance, for example, a towel fabric, and are formed in a substantially rectangular shape which is vertically long when viewed from the front. The length in the vertical direction is set to the length from the hairline of the forehead to the neck side from the chin on the human nose muscles. The lateral length is set to about ½ of the length between the back sides of both ears of a person. Inner edge portions 801 and 901 of the cover pieces 8 and 9 are subjected to a tapping process such as mellow stitching. On the lower surface of the cover piece 8, the inner end edge portion 901 of the cover piece 9 enters about 3 cm and is overlapped vertically to provide the overlapping portion 10. The entire periphery of the covering pieces 8 and 9 including both ends of the overlapping portion 10 is wrapped with a tape 11 and sewn.

Example 4 will be described with reference to FIG. The covering pieces 12 and 13 are made of a towel fabric having high water absorption, washing resistance, high flexibility and high touch, and are formed in a substantially semicircular shape when viewed from the front consisting of a straight portion and an arc-shaped portion. Yes. The straight portions of the cover pieces 12 and 13 are set as inner end edge portions 121 and 131 and subjected to a tapping process such as mellow stitching. The inner end edge portion 121 and the inner end edge portion 131 are provided with the overlapping portion 14 having a overlapping width of about 3.0 cm in the vertical direction. The entire circumference of the covering pieces 12 and 13 including the overlapping portion 14 is wrapped with a tape 15 and subjected to a sewing process. The covering pieces 12 and 13 including the overlapping portion 14 are unfolded, the length in the vertical direction is set to a length that covers the entire face of the person, and the length in the horizontal direction covers the back side of both ears of the person. Is set to a length that can be
As shown in FIG. 11, the face mask is placed on the face with the overlapping portion 14 aligned with the line connecting the nostrils 16 and 16. The covering piece 12 moves slightly toward the forehead and the covering piece 13 slightly moves toward the neck side, and the overlapping portion 14 expands. The nostril 16 is exposed through the widened gap of the overlapping portion 14 and nasal breathing is not hindered. The eyes can feel the light entering from the widened part.

  It is also conceivable to provide a storage pocket with a cooling agent or a heat insulating agent on the upper surface or the lower surface of the face mask shown in Examples 1 to 4 above.
