Description

The present invention belongs to the technical field of stringless masks without ear straps.

In recent years, due to the epidemic of new coronavirus infections, the importance of masks as an infection control measure has increased. This is because the mask can effectively prevent droplet infection from another person to the wearer or droplet infection from the wearer to another person.

By the way, the conventional mask is generally fixed to the wearer's head with an ear strap. However, the ear strap has a problem that it lacks comfort when worn, such as the cord biting into the ear and causing pain in the ear.

Therefore, in recent years, a mask having no ear strap has been proposed. For example, there has been proposed a stringless mask in which a plurality of tapes having an adhesive layer formed on the periphery of the surface of the mask body facing the face are provided so as to be attached to the face (Patent Document 1).

Further, the mask is provided with a main body portion and a suction cup provided around the main body portion thereof, and the main body portion is directly fixed to the face by pressing the suction cup against the face and adsorbing the peripheral portion of the main body portion to the face. A mask has been proposed (Patent Document 2).

Further, a mask that fixes the main body of the mask to the face by attaching the anchor members to a plurality of places on the face and detachably supporting the attachment portion of the mask main body to the anchor members by engaging or the like. Has been proposed (Patent Document 3).

Further, a mask has been proposed in which a mask body and a support body that supports the mask body on the face are provided, and the support body is a spring holding body that holds and supports a part of the head including the face (patented). Document 4).

Further, a multipurpose mask has been proposed in which holding portions for elastically holding an inwardly curved face by extending the curved surface of the main body are extended on both sides of the mask main body formed on a substantially hemispherical surface (Patent Document 5).

Utility model registration No. 3223201 Patent No. 4197688 Patent No. 4684318 Patent No. 30621188 Patent No. 3742418

However, since the untied mask described in Patent Document 1, the mask described in Patent Document 2, or the mask described in Patent Document 3 has a structure in which a member for directly fixing the mask is attached to the face, it is possible to use sebum or sweat. There was a problem that the mask was easy to come off; the makeup was easy to come off;

Further, since the multipurpose mask described in Patent Document 4 or the mask described in Patent Document 5 has a structure in which the wearer's face (cheeks, etc.) is strongly sandwiched by the elastic force generated from the support or the sandwiching portion, the cheeks and the cheeks There was a problem that the support or the pinching part bites into the temple, causing pain in the cheeks and temples, resulting in lack of comfort when worn.

The present invention solves the problems of the prior art as described above. That is, the present invention provides a stringless mask that is difficult to remove due to sebum or sweat, is difficult to remove make-up, and is comfortable to wear.

The present inventors have made extensive studies to solve the problems of the prior art, particularly the multipurpose mask described in Patent Document 4 or the mask described in Patent Document 5. The cause of the discomfort of tightening when the multipurpose mask or the like is worn is that the support (or holding portion) that sandwiches the wearer's face and the mask body formed in a cup shape are highly integrated. It was found that this is due to the fact that the movement of the support or the like is restricted by the mask body; the support or the like has high rigidity and is not easily deformed.

Therefore, the present inventor constitutes a pair of left and right fixing members corresponding to the support (or sandwiching portion) with a highly flexible resin sheet; the mask body is composed of the left and right resin sheets, and the resin thereof. It has been found that the above-mentioned problems can be solved by superimposing the sheets and connecting and integrating the front end portions corresponding to the central portion of the mask body; the present invention has been completed. That is, the above-mentioned problem is solved by the present invention shown below.

[1] Stringless mask:
The present invention is a stringless mask, comprising a mask body that covers all or part of the wearer's face, and a pair of left and right fixing members that fix the mask body to the wearer's head. The fixing member extends from the left and right side edges of the mask body in the left-right outer direction, and the mask body and the fixing member are made of a flexible resin sheet, which constitutes the left side portion of the mask as the resin sheet. It has a first resin sheet and a second resin sheet constituting the right side portion of the mask, and the first resin sheet and the second resin sheet are overlapped with each other and bonded to each other at the front end portions corresponding to the central portion of the mask body. It is integrated and has a coupling means capable of coupling with the mask body at the end of the fixing member ;

It is a figure which shows typically the method of wearing the stringless mask shown in FIG. It is a figure which shows typically the state of wearing the stringless mask shown in FIG.

Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention includes all forms that satisfy the requirements described in the claims, and is not limited to the forms shown in the drawings.

[1] Features of the present invention:
The stringless mask of the present invention includes a pair of left and right fixing members 4 and 6, like the stringless mask 1 shown in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the stringless mask 1 can fix the mask body 1 to the wearer's head by sandwiching the wearer's head with the fixing members 4 and 6. Therefore, unlike a conventional mask having an ear strap, the strap does not bite into the ear and the ear does not hurt. Further, for example, when a visitor is made to wear a stringless mask 1 at a beauty salon, the ear strap or strap covers a part of the hair and does not interfere with cutting or perming.

Further, the stringless mask of the present invention has a structure in which the wearer's head is sandwiched between the fixing members 4 and 6, like the stringless mask 1 shown in FIG.

With such a structure, it is not necessary to directly attach a member for fixing the mask to the wearer's face, such as an adhesive layer, a suction cup, and an anchor member, as in the techniques described in Patent Documents 1 to 3. Therefore, the mask is hard to come off due to sebum and sweat, and the makeup is hard to come off.

Further, in the stringless mask of the present invention, as in the stringless mask 1 shown in FIG. 1, the fixing members 4 and 6 are made of a highly flexible resin sheet.

When the wearer's head is sandwiched between the fixing members 4 and 6, the fixing members 4 and 6 bend and deform so as to follow the shape of the wearer's head, and come into soft contact with the wearer's head. Further, since the fixing members 4 and 6 are easily deformed, the integrality with the mask main body 2 is low, and the fixing members 4 and 6 behave independently of the mask main body 2. Therefore, unlike the support and the holding portion of the technique described in Patent Document 4 or 5, the face is not strongly pinched when the mask is worn, and a comfortable wearing feeling can be obtained.

Furthermore, in the stringless mask of the present invention, as in the stringless mask 1 shown in FIG. 1, the first resin sheet 4 and the second resin sheet 6 are overlapped, and the front end portions corresponding to the central portion of the mask main body 2 are joined to each other. And integrated.

By overlapping and joining the resin sheets in this way, a force is generated to the first resin sheet 4 and the second resin sheet 6 to close inward, and this force causes the wearer's head to be attached to the fixing member. Is given the power to pinch. Moreover, the mask body 2 is also made of a flexible resin sheet. For this reason, the face is compared with the technique described in Patent Document 4 or 5 in which the highly rigid support and the holding portion are bent inward and the wearer's head is sandwiched by these spring forces. The pinching force is weak, and a comfortable wearing feeling can be obtained.

[2] Stringless mask:
Hereinafter, the stringless mask of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The stringless mask 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes a mask main body 2 and a pair of left and right fixing members 4 and 6.

[2-1] Mask body:
The stringless mask 1 is configured such that the mask body 2 covers the wearer's nose and mouth and does not cover the wearer's eyes.

However, in the present invention, it is sufficient that the mask body covers all or part of the wearer's face. For example, the mask body may have a shape that covers the part of the wearer's face other than the nose and mouth (for example, the eye part), or the mask body may have a shape that covers the entire face of the wearer (for example). It may be a face guard or a face shield).

[2-2] Fixing member:
The illustrated stringless mask 1 includes a pair of left and right fixing members 4, 6. The fixing members 4 and 6 are members for fixing the mask body 1 to the wearer's head.

The fixing members 4 and 6 extend in the left-right outer direction from the left-right side edges of the mask body 2. Compared to the mask body 2 that covers the wearer's nose and mouth, the fixing members 4 and 6 are formed in a narrow band shape. However, in the present invention, the shape of the fixing member is not limited to the shape shown in the figure as long as it exerts the function of fixing the mask body to the wearer's head, and may be any shape.

In the illustrated stringless mask 1, fragile portions 22 and 24 for releasing stress generated in the fixing members 4 and 6 are formed in the central portion in the height direction of the fixing members 4 and 6. Specifically, a punched portion is formed in the central portion of the fixing members 4 and 6 in the height direction along the longitudinal direction of the fixing members 4 and 6, and the fixing members 4 and 6 are formed into two upper and lower portions with the punched portion in between. It has a separate structure.

With such a structure, the flexibility and shape followability of the fixing members 4 and 6 are enhanced, and it becomes easy to fit the shape of the wearer's head. Therefore, the mask body 2 can be fixed more reliably, and the stringless mask 1 is less likely to come off from the wearer's head.

[2-3] Resin sheet:
The illustrated stringless mask 1 is made of a resin sheet in which the mask body 2 and the fixing members 4 and 6 are flexible. The resin sheet includes a first resin sheet 8 forming the left side portion of the mask and a second resin sheet 10 forming the right side portion of the mask.

"Flexible" means flexible enough to be easily bent by hand. The "left side of the mask" and "right side of the mask" referred to here are the "left side of the mask" and the part on the right side when the wearer wearing the strapless mask is viewed from the front. Will be referred to as the "right side of the mask".

In the illustrated stringless mask 1, the first resin sheet 8 and the second resin sheet 10 are configured as separate bodies. However, in the present invention, the first resin sheet and the second resin sheet may be configured as an integral sheet.

In the illustrated stringless mask 1, the resin sheet (first resin sheet 8, second resin sheet 10) is composed of a transparent resin sheet.

By forming at least the mask body 2 with a transparent resin sheet, there is an advantage that the facial expression of the wearer can be visually recognized. For example, if the customer service provider wears it, the facial expression of the wearer is transmitted, and the service user can be given a sense of security. In addition, if a visitor to a beauty salon wears it, the beautician can cut or perm while looking at the contour of the wearer's face, and can proceed with the work while imagining the finished state.

However, the resin sheet does not need to be a transparent resin sheet if the above effects are not required. Depending on the purpose, a translucent (semi-transparent) resin sheet or a colored resin sheet can also be used.

The resin sheet (first resin sheet 8, second resin sheet 10) is a sheet made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and having a thickness of 0.25 mm.

However, the material of the resin sheet 6 is not particularly limited as long as it has appropriate flexibility. For example, it may be appropriately selected from conventionally known resin materials such as PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), and PVC (polyvinyl chloride). The thickness is also not particularly limited as long as it exhibits appropriate flexibility. For example, those having a thickness of 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm and the like can be preferably used.

[2-4] Bonding structure of the first resin sheet and the second resin sheet:
In the illustrated stringless mask 1, the first resin sheet 8 and the second resin sheet 10 are formed in the same shape. Then, the first resin sheet 8 and the second resin sheet 10 are overlapped with each other, and the front end portions corresponding to the central portions of the mask main body 2 are joined and integrated. More specifically, the first resin sheet 8 and the second resin sheet 10 are overlapped with each other, and the front end portions corresponding to the central portions of the mask main body 2 are laminated to be integrated.

In the illustrated stringless mask 1, the first resin sheet 8 and the second resin sheet 10 are bonded together by heat fusion. However, the method of bonding is not particularly limited. For example, the first resin sheet and the second resin sheet may be bonded together with an adhesive.

Further, in the present invention, it is sufficient that the first resin sheet and the second resin sheet are bonded and integrated with each other at the front end portions thereof. That is, it is not always necessary to bond the first resin sheet and the second resin sheet. For example, the first resin sheet and the second resin sheet may be configured as an integral sheet, and may have a structure in which the first resin sheet and the second resin sheet are bent at the central portion in the width direction.

In the illustrated stringless mask 1, the front end shapes of the first resin sheet 8 and the second resin sheet 10 have a convex shape (more specifically, an arc shape) in which the central portion in the height direction is convex toward the front. It is formed. Then, the shape of the bonded portion 12 of the first resin sheet 8 and the second resin sheet 10 is formed into a convex shape (more specifically, an arc shape) in which the central portion in the height direction is convex toward the front. ing. The "height direction" referred to here means the vertical direction of the mask body.

With such a structure, the first resin has a linear shape as compared with the case where the front end shape of the first resin sheet and the second resin sheet and the shape of the bonded portion between the first resin sheet and the second resin sheet are linear. It is preferable in that the force for closing the sheet and the second resin sheet inward is strengthened and the tightening force for the fixing member to the wearer's head is increased.

The shape of the front end of the first resin sheet and the second resin sheet, and the shape of the bonded portion between the first resin sheet and the second resin sheet may be a convex shape, for example, a polygonal line shape. However, if it has an arc shape as shown in the figureless mask 1, the first resin sheet 8 and the second resin sheet 10 can be easily opened to the left and right, and damage to the first resin sheet 8 and the second resin sheet 10 can be effectively prevented. can do.

The illustrated stringless mask 1 is one of the first resin sheet 8 and the second resin sheet 10 (specifically, along the edge of the bonding portion 12 between the first resin sheet 8 and the second resin sheet 10). The crease line is formed only on the surface of the first resin sheet 8). In such a structure, when the first resin sheet 8 and the second resin sheet 10 are opened, only the first resin sheet 8 on which the crease line is formed is broken, and the first resin sheet 8 and the second resin sheet 8 and the second resin sheet 8 are easily and stably. 2 The resin sheet 10 can be opened. The crease line can be formed by pressing and pushing the surface of the resin sheet.

[2-5] Binding means:
The illustrated stringless mask 1 has connecting means 14 and 16 capable of being connected to the mask body 2 at the end portions of the fixing members 4 and 6. Specifically, the connecting means 14 and 16 of the fixing members 4 and 6 are notches formed from each of the upper end side and the lower end side of the fixing members 4 and 6 toward the center side in the height direction, and the mask main body 2 has a notch. Hook portions 18 and 20 that can be engaged with the notch are formed on the left and right side edges. The hook portions 18 and 20 are elongated holes formed in the height direction.

With such a structure, the end portions of the fixing members 4 and 6 can be bent inward and connected to the left and right side edges of the mask body 2 to form the fixing members 4 and 6 in a loop shape. By forming the fixing members 4 and 6 into a loop shape, it is possible to improve the flexibility and shape followability of the fixing member and also increase the force for pinching the wearer's head.

As long as the bonding means in the present invention can be bonded to the mask body, its form is not limited to the combination of the notch and the elongated hole. For example, an adhesive portion may be formed at the end of the fixing member so that it can be connected to the mask body, or a planar fastener or a snap button may be attached to the end of the fixing member and the left and right side edges of the mask body. The fixing member and the mask body may be connected to each other.
