Description

本発明は種々の感染症予防に用いて好適なマスクに関するものであり、着用者の呼吸、特に吸気への外気混入を防ぐことが可能なマスクに関する。 The present invention relates to a mask suitable for use in preventing various infectious diseases, and relates to a mask capable of preventing the wearer's respiration, particularly the inhalation of outside air from being mixed.

近年、社会生活の多様化による国内外の往来が活発化し、気候の急激な変化もあいまって、インフルエンザを始めとする種々の感染症に対する関心が高まっている。実質的に早期免疫獲得に乏しい感染症の流行が増加する傾向であり、既に感染した患者に留まらず、予防のためのマスク装着習慣が定着しつつある。マスクの形態も多種多様なものが提案されており、目や口を覆う面体としてガーゼや不織布が多用され、顔面の上下方向に展開可能な複数のプリーツを設けて濾過面積を大きくとり、顔面の左右方向にゴム紐などを取り付けたもの、面体の両側に例えば伸縮性不織布からなる耳かけを備え、顔面の左右方向の対称軸に沿って2つ折りが可能なものなどが知られている。 In recent years, due to the diversification of social life, domestic and foreign traffic has become active, and with the rapid changes in climate, interest in various infectious diseases such as influenza has increased. The epidemic of infectious diseases, which are substantially poor in early immunity acquisition, is on the rise, and the habit of wearing masks for prevention is becoming established, not limited to already infected patients. A wide variety of mask forms have been proposed. Gauze and non-woven fabric are often used as face bodies to cover the eyes and mouth, and multiple pleats that can be expanded in the vertical direction of the face are provided to increase the filtration area of the face. It is known that a rubber cord or the like is attached in the left-right direction, and an ear hook made of, for example, a stretchable non-woven fabric is provided on both sides of the face body so that the face can be folded in half along the axis of symmetry in the left-right direction.

マスクの装着習慣が定着した現在では、着用者が日常生活の中でマスクを装着することによる不具合を改善するための工夫がなされるようになってきた。その一例として、特開2007−61585号公報(特許文献1)では、マスク本体に耳かけ紐を取り付けた形態を例示し、メガネを掛けた着用者の利便性を改善する技術が提案されている。この文献技術では、通気可能なマスク本体(本明細書では、以下、面体と称する)に、紐状の耳掛けを取り付けたマスク形状であって、面体の内側に、薄膜状で空気を通さないか又は通し難い素材からなる薄片を備える構成を提案している。また、この薄片は、その上縁のみを面体と固着し、下縁が鼻孔を完全にふさがない程度の縦幅、並びに、横幅はマスク全幅以下とすると共に、当該薄片の下縁から上縁に向かって複数の切れ目を入れるとの記載がある。この切れ目は、マスクを装着した際に、薄片が鼻の背(以下、本明細書では鼻梁と称する場合がある)に密着することで呼気(以下、排気と称する)の漏れを防ぎ、メガネの曇りを防止し得ると開示されている。 Now that the habit of wearing masks has become established, ingenuity has been made to improve the problems caused by wearing masks in daily life. As an example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-61585 (Patent Document 1) exemplifies a form in which an ear strap is attached to a mask body, and proposes a technique for improving the convenience of a wearer wearing glasses. .. In this literature technique, a mask has a shape in which a string-shaped ear hook is attached to a breathable mask body (hereinafter referred to as a facet in the present specification), and the inside of the facet is thin and airtight. Or, we are proposing a configuration with flakes made of a material that is difficult to pass through. In addition, this thin section has only the upper edge fixed to the facet, and the vertical width and the horizontal width are set to be less than the full width of the mask so that the lower edge does not completely block the nostrils, and from the lower edge to the upper edge of the thin section. There is a description that multiple cuts will be made toward it. When the mask is worn, the flakes adhere to the back of the nose (hereinafter, may be referred to as the bridge of the nose) to prevent leakage of exhaled breath (hereinafter, referred to as exhaust), and this cut prevents the leakage of exhaled air (hereinafter, referred to as exhaust) of the glasses. It is disclosed that fogging can be prevented.

また、この特許文献1のように、面体が平面的なガーゼマスク、またはプリーツマスクと称される形態に加えて、顔面の左右方向に広げて用いる「2つ折りマスク」或いは「立体型マスク」と称される形態のマスクも広く普及している。その一例として特開2001−245998号公報(特許文献2)には、着用者の口もとに対する面体(覆い部)と、この面体の対向両側から後方へ延びる耳掛け部とからなるマスクであって、この耳掛け部が伸長性を有する繊維からなる伸長層と弾性伸縮性を有する弾性層とを積層一体化してなる弾性伸長可能な複合シートからなる構成が開示されている。この耳掛け部を構成する弾性層として熱可塑性合成樹脂のエラストマーやウレタン弾性糸を使用した不織布、織布、不定形の繊維ウエブ等、或いはフィルムが例示され、伸長層としてはポリエチレンやポリプロピレン等の熱可塑性合成樹脂からなる不織布、織布、不定形の繊維ウエブ等の形態で上述した弾性層に接合される。この技術によって、マスク着用者が耳掛け部の長さ調節を行うことができ、着用感に優れたマスクを実現し得ると記載されている。この形態のマスクでは、面体が鼻根から口もとに沿った方向を軸として折り畳むことが可能であるため、所謂、鼻金を設けない場合であっても、前述したメガネの曇りを防止することが可能である。 Further, as in Patent Document 1, in addition to a form called a gauze mask or a pleated mask having a flat face body, a "folded mask" or a "three-dimensional mask" used by spreading the face in the left-right direction is used. Masks in the so-called form are also widespread. As an example thereof, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-245998 (Patent Document 2) describes a mask including a face body (covering part) for the wearer's mouth and an ear hook part extending rearward from both opposite sides of the face piece. A configuration is disclosed in which the ear hook portion is made of an elastic stretchable composite sheet in which an stretchable layer made of stretchable fibers and an elastic layer having elastic stretchability are laminated and integrated. Nonwoven fabrics, woven fabrics, amorphous fiber webs, etc. using thermoplastic synthetic resin elastomers and urethane elastic threads, or films are exemplified as the elastic layers constituting the ear hooks, and polyethylene, polypropylene, etc. are used as the stretchable layers. It is bonded to the above-mentioned elastic layer in the form of a non-woven fabric made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin, a woven fabric, an amorphous fiber web, or the like. It is described that this technique allows the mask wearer to adjust the length of the ear hook, and can realize a mask having an excellent wearing feeling. In this form of mask, since the facet can be folded around the direction from the base of the nose to the mouth, it is possible to prevent the above-mentioned fogging of the glasses even when the so-called nose metal is not provided. It is possible.

このようにマスクの形態として様々なものが提案されており、着用者の付け心地に加え、より優れた本来のマスク性能である濾過機能が追求されるようになってきた。その一例として、特開2015−217142号公報(特許文献3)では、不織布で構成され、少なくとも口を覆う面体(覆い部)と、この面体の両端部であり、しかも上下端部に固定された一対の耳掛け部とを有し、この面体の着用者側の両端部側から中央に向かって延在するように、一側部が前述の面体に固定された帯状体からなる漏れ防止部を設けた構成のマスクが提案されている。具体的な態様として、面体はプリーツ加工され、漏れ防止部は、概ね面体の上下寸法に相当する帯状の不織布に折返しを設ける構造となっており、上述したプリーツ形状を固定し、かつ装着者の頬に接触する左右端部に固定される構成が開示されている。この漏れ防止部は、例えば面体の左右端の各々で面体の中央部分に開口を持つポケットのような構造を採っており、面体のプリーツ形状と協働して立体的なマスク形状を実現している。係る構成を採用することによって、漏れ防止部は、面体に取り付けた接顔体のような機能を持ち、例えば目付が30〜40g/m程度の不織布とすることで柔軟であり、面体の左右端に漏れ防止部が面体中央に向かって延在するように側部溶着部を設けることで当該部に剛性を付与する構成であるため、マスクと頬とを密着させ得ると記載されている。 In this way, various forms of masks have been proposed, and in addition to the comfort of the wearer, the filtration function, which is the original mask performance, has been pursued. As an example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-217142 (Patent Document 3), it is composed of a non-woven fabric, at least a face body (covering portion) covering the mouth, both ends of the face body, and fixed to the upper and lower ends. A leak-preventing part having a pair of ear hooks and having a strip-shaped body whose one side is fixed to the above-mentioned face body so as to extend from both ends on the wearer side of the face body toward the center. A mask having a provided configuration has been proposed. As a specific embodiment, the facet is pleated, and the leakage prevention portion has a structure in which a band-shaped non-woven fabric that roughly corresponds to the vertical dimension of the facet is folded back, and the above-mentioned pleated shape is fixed and the wearer's shape is fixed. A configuration is disclosed in which the left and right ends in contact with the cheeks are fixed. This leak prevention part has a structure like a pocket having an opening in the central part of the face body at each of the left and right ends of the face body, and realizes a three-dimensional mask shape in cooperation with the pleated shape of the face body. There is. By adopting such a configuration, the leak prevention part has a function like a face-contact body attached to the face body, and is flexible by using a non-woven fabric having a texture of about 30 to 40 g / m 2, for example, on the left and right sides of the face body. It is described that the mask and the cheek can be brought into close contact with each other because the structure is such that the side welding portion is provided at the end so that the leakage prevention portion extends toward the center of the face piece to impart rigidity to the portion.

特開2007−61585号公報([特許請求の範囲]、[0018]、[図1]など)Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2007-61585 ([Claims], [0018], [Fig. 1], etc.) 特開2001−245998号公報([特許請求の範囲]、[0014]、[図1]、[図2]などJP 2001-245998 ([Claims], [0014], [Fig. 1], [Fig. 2], etc. 特開2015−217142号公報([特許請求の範囲]、[0007]、[0029]〜[0042]、[図2]など)Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2015-217142 ([Claims], [0007], [0029] to [0042], [Fig. 2], etc.)

上述した背景技術からも理解できるように、面体周縁で生じる漏れに対応するため、面体の上下の端部、或いは左右の端部近傍に種々の構成成分を配設し、着用者に対するマスクの密着性を高めて、より有効なマスク機能を実現できるように工夫されている。とりわけ特許文献3では、特許文献1と同様なプリーツ型マスクを例示しており、帯状の漏れ防止部を面体に取り付け、装着時に面体が袋状又は箱状となるように構成する、密着性向上に有効な技術であることが見て採れる。しかしながら、この特許文献3の技術を適用したマスクでは、面体に漏れ防止部を取り付け、かつゴム紐などを用いる耳掛け部の取り付けという複雑な工程を経なければならず、高度な加工技術を要するという問題がある。加えて、当該技術の構造的な利点として装着者の頬に密着する点が挙げられるが、マスク使用時の具体的な検証はなされていない。 As can be understood from the background technique described above, in order to deal with leakage occurring at the periphery of the face piece, various components are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the face piece or near the left and right ends, and the mask adheres to the wearer. It has been devised so that it can be enhanced and a more effective mask function can be realized. In particular, Patent Document 3 exemplifies a pleated mask similar to Patent Document 1, in which a band-shaped leakage prevention portion is attached to a face body so that the face body becomes bag-shaped or box-shaped when attached to improve adhesion. It can be seen that it is an effective technology. However, the mask to which the technique of Patent Document 3 is applied requires a complicated process of attaching a leak prevention portion to the face piece and attaching an ear hook portion using a rubber cord or the like, which requires advanced processing technology. There is a problem. In addition, the structural advantage of the technique is that it adheres to the wearer's cheeks, but no specific verification has been made when using the mask.

また、特許文献2に代表される2つ折りマスクでは、マスクの左右対称の軸となる内外側縁(以下、本明細書では単に「折り線」と称する)が鼻金の機能を兼ね、着用者の鼻梁に沿った形状とすることができ、少なくとも上方向の排気漏れを低減し得る。さらに、この形態のマスクでは面体と耳掛け部との双方を不織布などの素材で構成することができるため、メガネの曇り防止に有効となり、しかも加工が容易である。しかし、面体の左右端部に相当する位置に耳掛け部と、特許文献3に提案される「漏れ防止部」との双方を取り付けるためには、やはり高度な加工技術を要し、しかも吸気時の外気混入に対応することが難しいという問題点がある。 Further, in the two-fold mask represented by Patent Document 2, the inner and outer edges (hereinafter, simply referred to as "fold lines" in the present specification), which are the axes of left-right symmetry of the mask, also function as a nose metal, and the wearer. The shape can be along the bridge of the nose, and at least upward exhaust leakage can be reduced. Further, in this form of mask, both the face piece and the ear hook portion can be made of a material such as a non-woven fabric, which is effective in preventing fogging of the glasses and is easy to process. However, in order to attach both the ear hook portion and the "leakage prevention portion" proposed in Patent Document 3 to the positions corresponding to the left and right ends of the face piece, advanced processing technology is still required, and at the time of inhalation. There is a problem that it is difficult to deal with the mixing of outside air.

本出願に係る発明者は、上述した種々の問題点を検証し、特許文献3に係る頬との密着性向上による装着者の吸気時の外気混入を防ぎ、しかも、2つ折りマスクのように優れた加工性とメガネの曇り軽減とを実現すべく、鋭意検討を重ねた結果、本発明を完成するに至った。従って、この発明の目的は、簡素な構造で加工性に富み、しかもマスク着用に際し、吸気における外気混入防止機能を向上させることが可能なマスクを実現し、提供することにある。 The inventor according to the present application verifies the various problems described above, prevents the wearer from mixing with outside air during inspiration by improving the adhesion to the cheeks according to Patent Document 3, and is excellent like a double-folded mask. The present invention has been completed as a result of intensive studies in order to realize good workability and reduction of fogging of eyeglasses. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to realize and provide a mask having a simple structure and excellent workability, and capable of improving the function of preventing outside air from entering the intake air when the mask is worn.

この目的の達成を図るため、本発明の構成によれば、着用者の鼻梁から口もとを覆うため、折り線で2つに折り畳まれる面体と、この面体の両側端に取り付けられた耳掛け部と、この耳掛け部に設けられた耳掛け穴を有するマスクにおいて、この耳掛け穴の面体側の端部から前述した面体までの頬接触領域に相当する前記耳掛け部の通気度が、前述した面体の通気度に較べて低いことを特徴としている。 In order to achieve this object, according to the configuration of the present invention, in order to cover the mouth from the nose bridge of the wearer, a face body folded in two by a fold line and ear hooks attached to both ends of the face body are provided. In a mask having an ear hook hole provided in the ear hook portion, the air permeability of the ear hook portion corresponding to the cheek contact region from the end portion of the ear hook hole on the face body side to the face body described above is described above. It is characterized by being low compared to the air permeability of the face piece.

また、この発明の実施に当たり、上述した頬接触領域に相当する耳掛け部の剛性を、前述した面体の剛性に較べて低くするのが好適である。 Further, in carrying out the present invention, it is preferable that the rigidity of the ear hook portion corresponding to the above-mentioned cheek contact region is made lower than the rigidity of the above-mentioned face body.

この発明の構成を適用することにより、耳掛け部と面体との通気度を適切に選択するのみの簡素な構造で、加工性に富み、かつ耳掛け部からの、吸気時の外気混入防止機能を向上させることが可能なマスクを実現し、提供することにある。 By applying the configuration of the present invention, it has a simple structure that only appropriately selects the air permeability between the ear hook and the face piece, is highly workable, and has a function to prevent outside air from entering from the ear hook during intake. It is to realize and provide a mask that can improve the above.

本発明の好適例を説明するため、マスク装着時の形状を斜視的に示す説明図である。In order to explain a preferable example of this invention, it is explanatory drawing which shows the shape at the time of wearing a mask perspectively. 本発明の好適例として図1に示すマスクを折り畳んだ状態で示す説明図である。As a preferable example of the present invention, it is explanatory drawing which shows the mask shown in FIG. 1 in a folded state. 本発明の好適な他例を説明するため、図2と同様に示す説明図である。It is explanatory drawing which shows in the same manner as FIG. 2 in order to explain a suitable other example of this invention.

以下、図面を参照して、本出願に係る発明の好適形態について説明する。図1は、2つ折りマスクの装着可能な状態を斜視的に示す説明図である。例示したマスク11は、装着時の左右方向に対称な布片を接合することによって、カップ形状の面体13を構成する。図示例では、面体13の図示上下方向の所定部分で融着部15aと15bとを設けることにより、これら融着部同士の間に連続した稜線状の折り線17が画成されている。このような面体13の図示左右方向の両側端には、各々、耳掛け穴19を設けた耳掛け部21が接合部23で取り付けられる。 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention according to the present application will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view perspectively showing a state in which the two-fold mask can be attached. The illustrated mask 11 constitutes a cup-shaped face piece 13 by joining pieces of cloth that are symmetrical in the left-right direction when worn. In the illustrated example, by providing the fused portions 15a and 15b at predetermined portions of the face piece 13 in the vertical direction shown in the drawing, continuous ridge-shaped folded lines 17 are defined between the fused portions. Ear hooks 21 provided with ear hook holes 19 are attached to both ends of the face piece 13 in the left-right direction in the drawing by joints 23.

上述した面体13は、従来周知の濾材と、これに積層したカバー材とを周知のポイントシール加工やホットメルトスプレー法などの通気性を損なうことが少ない技術によって調製することができる。また、いわゆる超音波融着を含むヒートシール技術で各融着部15a、15b或いは接合部23を接合する場合、これら素材を不織布とするのが好ましい。このような面体13を構成する濾材として、本出願人は、低圧損と高効率とを実現できる摩擦帯電不織布を特許第4659232号、或いは、この摩擦帯電不織布に吸湿発熱機能を付加した特願2016−4218号などを提案しており、係る技術による不織布を用いるのが好適である。さらに、カバー材としてはポリオレフィン、ポリプロピレンなどの熱可塑性合成樹脂で構成されるスパンボンド不織布やスパンレース不織布など、従来用いられている素材を濾材の双方の面に積層構成するのが良い。 The above-mentioned face piece 13 can be prepared by a technique such as a well-known point sealing process or a hot melt spray method in which a conventionally known filter medium and a cover material laminated on the filter medium 13 are less likely to impair air permeability. Further, when joining the fused portions 15a, 15b or the bonded portion 23 by a heat sealing technique including so-called ultrasonic fusion, it is preferable to use these materials as a non-woven fabric. As a filter medium constituting such a face piece 13, the present applicant has patented No. 4659232 for a triboelectric non-woven fabric capable of realizing low pressure loss and high efficiency, or Japanese Patent Application No. 2016 in which a moisture absorption and heat generation function is added to the triboelectric non-woven fabric. No. -4218 has been proposed, and it is preferable to use a non-woven fabric according to the technique. Further, as the cover material, it is preferable to laminate a conventionally used material such as a spunbonded non-woven fabric or a spunlaced non-woven fabric made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin such as polyolefin or polypropylene on both surfaces of the filter medium.

また、前述した耳掛け部21を構成するに当たり、ポリオレフィン、ポリエチレン、ポリエステル、ポリウレタンなどの従来用いられている熱可塑性樹脂を不織布、織物、フィルムなどの伸縮性をもったシート状に加工して用いることができる。特に、伸縮性を付与するため、顕在捲縮繊維によるクリンプや上記熱可塑性樹脂のエラストマーを用いても良い。さらに、装着動作を容易に行うため、これら素材に前述した既知の手法で積層複合させ、前述の特許文献2の内容と同様に、加工または着用に耐えうる強度の付与や、伸縮性を調整しても良い。 Further, in constructing the ear hook portion 21 described above, a conventionally used thermoplastic resin such as polyolefin, polyethylene, polyester, or polyurethane is processed into a stretchable sheet such as a non-woven fabric, a woven fabric, or a film. be able to. In particular, in order to impart elasticity, crimps made of overt crimp fibers or the elastomer of the above thermoplastic resin may be used. Further, in order to facilitate the mounting operation, these materials are laminated and composited by the above-mentioned known method, and similarly to the contents of the above-mentioned Patent Document 2, the strength that can withstand processing or wearing is imparted, and the elasticity is adjusted. You may.

また本出願に係る発明では、面体13における通気度に較べて、耳掛け部21のうち、耳掛け穴19の面体側の端部から面体13までの頬接触領域A(後述)における通気度を低くする必要がある。この通気度とは、JIS L 1096「一般織物試験方法」などに規定されるフラジール形試験機による測定結果であり、前述した特許第4659232号の技術などを利用した場合、面体13の通気度は着用者の快適性を満たす上では300cc/cm/s以下となるのが好ましく、面体としての捕集性能を満たす上では15cc/cm/s以上とするのが好ましい。このため、耳掛け部21を構成する素材は、面体の通気度の95%以下とするのが好ましい。このような面体と耳掛け部との相対的な通気度の差によって、着用者が吸気した際に、耳掛け部の一部である頬密着領域Aが頬に密着する作用を持っているため、この通気度の差は大きい方が、より大きな効果を生じる。 Further, in the invention according to the present application, the air permeability in the cheek contact region A (described later) from the end portion of the ear hook hole 19 on the face body side to the face body 13 of the ear hook portion 21 is compared with the air permeability in the face body 13. It needs to be low. This air permeability is a measurement result by a Frazier type tester specified in JIS L 1096 "General textile test method", etc., and when the above-mentioned technique of Patent No. 4659232 is used, the air permeability of the face piece 13 is It is preferably 300 cc / cm 2 / s or less in order to satisfy the comfort of the wearer, and 15 cc / cm 2 / s or more in order to satisfy the collection performance as a face piece. Therefore, the material constituting the ear hook portion 21 is preferably 95% or less of the air permeability of the face piece. Due to the difference in the relative air permeability between the face and the ear hook, the cheek contact area A, which is a part of the ear hook, has the effect of sticking to the cheek when the wearer inhales. The larger the difference in air permeability, the greater the effect.

また、本発明の実施に当たり、耳掛け部21の装着前の剛性は、前述した面体の剛性に較べて低くするのが好ましい。前述した本出願人の提案する濾材で面体13を構成するのが好適であって、例えばJIS L 1096「一般織物試験方法」などに規定される45°カンチレバー法による剛軟度(以下、剛性と称する場合もある)を5cm以上、18cm以下とすることによって快適な着用と、吸気に伴う面体の形状変化を抑えることができる。これに対して、耳掛け部21の着用前の剛性は、面体の剛軟度の95%以下とすることにより、着用時の取り扱いに好ましい。さらに、前述した面体と耳掛け部とが有する数値条件として、通気性と剛性との双方を満たすことによって、マスク着用後、特に吸気時に良好な密着性が実現でき、極めて低い漏れ率を実現することが可能となる。 Further, in carrying out the present invention, it is preferable that the rigidity of the ear hook portion 21 before mounting is lower than the rigidity of the face body described above. It is preferable to construct the face piece 13 with the filter medium proposed by the applicant as described above, and for example, the rigidity and softness by the 45 ° cantilever method specified in JIS L 1096 "General textile test method" (hereinafter referred to as "rigidity"). By setting the length (sometimes referred to as) to 5 cm or more and 18 cm or less, it is possible to wear the product comfortably and suppress the change in the shape of the face piece due to inspiration. On the other hand, the rigidity of the ear hook portion 21 before wearing is preferably 95% or less of the rigidity and softness of the face piece, which is preferable for handling during wearing. Furthermore, by satisfying both the air permeability and the rigidity as the numerical conditions of the face body and the ear hook portion described above, good adhesion can be realized after wearing the mask, especially when inhaling, and an extremely low leakage rate is realized. It becomes possible.

次に、図2を用いて、主として耳掛け部21の形態と作用効果につき詳細に説明する。図2は、図1に示したマスクの装着前の形状を、折り線17で2つに折り畳まれた状態で平面により示す説明図である。なお、一部の符号を省略するが図1と同一の構成成分には同一の符号を付してある。既に述べたとおり、本発明のマスクは面体13と耳掛け部21とから構成されている。これら構成成分は、互いに重なった状態の略帯状である接合部23で結合固定されている。実際の装着時には、重ねられている2つの耳掛け部21の端部を各々引張り、当該部を引き延ばせて着用者の耳を耳掛け穴19に入れる。この後、着用者の耳が耳掛け穴に入った状態でマスクと顔面との相対的な位置が定まり、耳掛け部21の伸びた寸法が回復して装着を完了する。この間、装着時には耳掛け部21の剛性を前述した好適範囲とすることにより、容易に耳掛け部の端部を摘むことができる。 Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the morphology and the action and effect of the ear hook portion 21 will be mainly described in detail. FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing the shape of the mask shown in FIG. 1 before mounting in a plane in a state of being folded in two by the fold line 17. Although some reference numerals are omitted, the same components as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals. As described above, the mask of the present invention is composed of the face piece 13 and the ear hook portion 21. These components are bonded and fixed at a joint portion 23 which is substantially strip-shaped so as to overlap each other. At the time of actual wearing, the ends of the two overlapping ear hooks 21 are pulled, and the portions are stretched to insert the wearer's ear into the ear hook hole 19. After that, the relative position between the mask and the face is determined with the wearer's ears in the ear hook holes, and the extended dimension of the ear hook portion 21 is restored to complete the wearing. During this time, the end portion of the ear hook portion can be easily picked by setting the rigidity of the ear hook portion 21 within the above-mentioned preferable range at the time of wearing.

一連の装着動作の間、図2に3本の一点鎖線を付した頬接触領域A並びに耳接触領域Bについての関係に着目すると、通常、耳掛け部21の側端部を含む耳接触領域Bを着用者が摘んで引っ張るため、耳接触領域Bは比較的寸法変化が大きく、頬接触領域Aの接合部23側に近づく程、寸法変化は小さい。本発明者が行った標準的な装着状態の検討結果に依れば、着用者の耳の前方(面体側)では、当該者の顔面サイズにもよるが、頬接触領域Aの寸法変化は実質的に無視できる程度の延びとなる。この検証を行うため、JIS T 8151に規定され、国家検定防じんマスクに用いられる「試験用人頭」(以下、マンヘッドと称する場合がある)を使用した場合、接合部23は面体13を構成する素材と耳掛け部21を構成する素材とが熱的に固定されているため、耳掛け部21の耳接触部側の側端をつまんで引っ張っても、接合部23を含む頬接触領域Aの寸法変化は実質的に認められなかった。 Focusing on the relationship between the cheek contact area A and the ear contact area B with the three alternate long and short dash lines in FIG. 2 during the series of wearing operations, the ear contact area B including the side end portion of the ear hook portion 21 is usually taken into consideration. Since the wearer picks and pulls the ear contact area B, the dimensional change is relatively large in the ear contact area B, and the dimensional change is small as it approaches the joint portion 23 side of the cheek contact area A. According to the result of the examination of the standard wearing state conducted by the present inventor, the dimensional change of the cheek contact area A is substantially in front of the wearer's ear (face body side), although it depends on the face size of the wearer. The extension is negligible. In order to perform this verification, when a "test human head" (hereinafter, may be referred to as a man head) specified in JIS T 8151 and used for a nationally certified dust mask is used, the joint portion 23 constitutes a face body 13. Since the material and the material constituting the ear hook portion 21 are thermally fixed, even if the side end of the ear hook portion 21 on the ear contact portion side is pinched and pulled, the cheek contact region A including the joint portion 23 Substantial dimensional changes were not observed.

本発明は、上述の装着動作後の頬接触領域Aに相当する耳掛け部21の通気度が、面体13の通気度よりも低いため、面体13を介して着用者が吸気する際、面体が顔面に密着するまでに頬接触領域Aの耳掛け部21が、先に頬と密着する構成となっている。これら2つの通気度の数値関係は前述の通りであるが、マスクとしての吸気抵抗などの基本性能を満たしている限り、係る作用効果を奏するには互いの大小関係が相対的に満たされていれば良い。また、上述したとおり、この頬接触領域Aにおける耳掛け部21には実質的な伸びがないため、その構成素材自体が有する通気度が装着後であっても保持され得る。この際、接合部23は、面体と耳掛け部との双方の素材が重なった状態で接合されているため、通気性はマスクの中で最も低く、剛性は最も高い構成成分であって、マスク全体の保形性に寄与することができる。 In the present invention, since the air permeability of the ear hook portion 21 corresponding to the cheek contact area A after the above-mentioned wearing operation is lower than the air permeability of the face body 13, when the wearer takes in air through the face body 13, the face body The ear hook portion 21 of the cheek contact area A is configured to be in close contact with the cheek first before it comes into close contact with the face. The numerical relationship between these two air permeability is as described above, but as long as the basic performance such as intake resistance as a mask is satisfied, the magnitude relationship between them must be relatively satisfied in order to achieve such an action effect. Just do it. Further, as described above, since the ear hook portion 21 in the cheek contact region A does not substantially stretch, the air permeability of the constituent material itself can be maintained even after wearing. At this time, since the joint portion 23 is joined in a state where the materials of both the face piece and the ear hook portion are overlapped, the air permeability is the lowest among the masks and the rigidity is the highest component, and the mask. It can contribute to the overall shape retention.

以下、図3を参照して、本発明の他の形態について説明する。図3は、図2と同様に示す説明図であるが、この図3の形態では、図2における接合部23が、より幅の広い接合部23’として構成されている。これは、面体13と耳掛け部21とが重なった領域が耳掛け穴19に至る領域として広く採られているため、接合部23’の風合いが固くなる反面、2つの素材が重ねられた状態で接合されている。このため、頬への密着を考慮した追従性を発揮しえる程度の比較的低い剛性であるならば、呼吸のし易さに寄与しない接合部23‘の通気度を広範囲にわたって効果的に低減させることができる利点がある。 Hereinafter, other embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing the same as FIG. 2, but in the form of FIG. 3, the joint portion 23 in FIG. 2 is configured as a wider joint portion 23'. This is because the region where the face piece 13 and the ear hook portion 21 overlap is widely taken as the region leading to the ear hook hole 19, so that the texture of the joint portion 23'is hardened, but the two materials are overlapped. It is joined with. Therefore, if the rigidity is relatively low enough to exhibit the followability in consideration of the close contact with the cheek, the air permeability of the joint portion 23'that does not contribute to the ease of breathing can be effectively reduced over a wide range. There are advantages that can be.

以上、本発明の好適形態として、その理解を容易とするため、特定の形状、配置関係、数値的条件などを例示したが、これらは例示に過ぎず、本発明の目的の範囲内で任意好適に変更または変形することができる。 As described above, specific shapes, arrangement relationships, numerical conditions, etc. have been exemplified as preferred embodiments of the present invention in order to facilitate their understanding, but these are merely examples and are arbitrarily suitable within the scope of the object of the present invention. Can be changed or transformed into.

以下、本発明の実施例として、図2に例示したマスクの形状で評価サンプルを試作し、検討した結果について説明する。 Hereinafter, as an example of the present invention, an evaluation sample will be prototyped in the shape of the mask illustrated in FIG. 2, and the results of the examination will be described.

(Preparation of filter media for facepiece)
As the face piece in this example, the laminated non-woven fabric prepared by the following procedure was used in a unified manner. First, commercially available rayon short fibers [fineness 1.7 decitex, fiber length 40 mm, weight composition ratio 55%], rayon short fibers [fineness 1.6 decitex, fiber length 44 mm, weight composition ratio 15%], polyester short fibers [ Fineness 1.5 decitex, fiber length 38 mm, weight composition ratio 20%], polyolefin short fibers [fineness 1.7 decitex, fiber length 51 mm, weight composition ratio 10%] are applied to a card machine, and then water flow entanglement at a water pressure of 9 MPa. Then, a half mat having a grain size of 30 g / m 2 and an apparent density of 0.08 g / cm 3 was obtained. Then, also by a carding machine, a triboelectric fiber of about 65 g / m 2 (commercially available polypropylene short fiber [fineness 2.2 decitex, fiber length 51 mm, weight composition ratio 40%]] and a commercially available acrylic short fiber [fineness 2.2]. A fiber layer composed of decitex, fiber length 51 mm, weight composition ratio 60%]) was laminated on the above-mentioned half mat to obtain a web. Subsequently, a crossbarb needle having a needle count of 40 is subjected to needle punching under the conditions of a needle depth of 13 mm and a needle density of 34 / cm 2 from the fiber layer side of the web made of triboelectric fibers to form a face piece 13. It was used as a filter medium.

(面体の作製並びに特性評価)
次いで、この濾材の表面材(面体の外側層相当)として、市販のポリプロピレン短繊維[繊度2.2デシテックス,繊維長51mm,重量組成比64%]、ポリプロピレン/ポリエチレンからなる芯鞘構造の短繊維[繊度3.3デシテックス,繊維長64mm,重量組成比36%]をカード機にかけた後、水圧9MPaで水流絡合し、目付50g/mとした。もう片面の吸気時下流側の表面材(面体の内側層相当)として、市販のポリプロピレン/ポリエチレン製の芯鞘型複合繊維から成るスパンボンド不織布(目付30g/m)を配置した。この面体の平板での通気度をフラジール形試験機で測定したところ、150cc/cm/sであった。また、この面体の剛性を45°カンチレバー法で測定した結果、15cmであった。本実施例で検証したマスクでは全てのサンプルに、この面体を統一して用いた。
(Manufacturing of octahedron and evaluation of characteristics)
Next, as the surface material of this filter medium (corresponding to the outer layer of the face piece), a short fiber having a core-sheath structure made of commercially available polypropylene short fiber [fineness 2.2 decitex, fiber length 51 mm, weight composition ratio 64%] and polypropylene / polyethylene. After applying [fineness 3.3 decitex, fiber length 64 mm, weight composition ratio 36%] to a card machine, water flow entanglement was performed at a water pressure of 9 MPa to obtain a grain size of 50 g / m 2 . A spunbonded non-woven fabric (with a grain of 30 g / m 2 ) made of a commercially available polypropylene / polyethylene core-sheath type composite fiber was arranged as a surface material (corresponding to the inner layer of the face piece) on the downstream side at the time of intake on the other side. The air permeability of this face piece on a flat plate was measured with a Frazier type tester and found to be 150 cc / cm 2 / s. Moreover, as a result of measuring the rigidity of this face piece by the 45 ° cantilever method, it was 15 cm. In the mask verified in this example, this facet was used in a unified manner for all the samples.

(耳掛け部用の各素材調製)
まず、実施例1に係る耳掛け部用の素材aとして、ポリウレタン樹脂からなるメルトブロー不織布(目付20g/m)と、ポリエステル短繊維のスパンレース不織布(目付30g/m)とをポイントシール加工(直径1mmの円形状,シール密度16個/cm)により貼り合わせた。また、実施例2に係る素材bは、上述した素材aの頬接触領域Aに相当する部分に市販の両面テープ『プロセルフ一般用両面テープS』((株)ニトムズ製,商品名)を貼り、素材の剛性に実質的な変化を来すことなく、貼付部分のみを非通気性とした。さらに、比較例1では、上述した素材aの頬接触領域Aにのみ直径1mmの針を用いて針密度1個/cmで針穴を開け、通気性に富む素材cを用いた。比較例2の素材dは、素材aの頬接触領域Aに布製テープ『布テープ』(販売元アスクル(株),商品名)を貼付し、非通気性であり、かつ、高剛性とした。また、作製方法及び構造については後に述べるが、参考例として、素材aからなる帯状の部材を接合部から面体にわたる構成成分として接合し、前述した特許文献1の「漏れ防止部」に類似する部分を配設した。この際の耳掛け部の構成素材としては実施例1と同じ素材aを使用した。
(Preparation of each material for ear hook)
First, as the material a for the ear hook according to the first embodiment, a melt-blown non-woven fabric made of polyurethane resin (with a grain of 20 g / m 2 ) and a short polyester fiber spunlace non-woven fabric (with a grain of 30 g / m 2 ) are point-sealed. (Circular shape with a diameter of 1 mm, seal density 16 pieces / cm 2 ) were used for bonding. Further, for the material b according to the second embodiment, a commercially available double-sided tape "Proself general purpose double-sided tape S" (manufactured by Nitoms Co., Ltd., trade name) is attached to the portion corresponding to the cheek contact area A of the material a described above. Only the sticking part was made non-breathable without causing a substantial change in the rigidity of the material. Further, in Comparative Example 1, a needle having a diameter of 1 mm was used only in the cheek contact region A of the material a described above to make a needle hole at a needle density of 1 piece / cm 2 , and a highly breathable material c was used. As the material d of Comparative Example 2, a cloth tape "cloth tape" (sold by ASKUL Corporation, trade name) was attached to the cheek contact area A of the material a to make it non-breathable and highly rigid. The manufacturing method and structure will be described later, but as a reference example, a strip-shaped member made of the material a is joined as a constituent component extending from the joint to the face piece, and a portion similar to the "leakage prevention portion" of Patent Document 1 described above. Was arranged. At this time, the same material a as in Example 1 was used as the constituent material of the ear hook portion.

(マスクサンプルの作製)
上述した各種の面体並びに素材を組合せ、マスク形状に仕上げた。具体的には、調製した面体用の濾材並びに表面材等を重ねて2つ折りにし、この間に前述した接合部23の幅に相当する寸法だけ2枚の耳掛け部用の素材(前述)を挟み込んだ状態で超音波溶着機により溶着接合し、融着部15a並びに15bと接合部23とを同時に形成した。さらに、耳掛け穴とマスクの概形形状を有する打ち抜き型で裁断し、各マスクサンプルを得た。作製したマスクの寸法形状は、面体と耳掛け部との接合部の高さが6.0cm、また、頬接触領域Aのうち、接合されていない耳掛け穴までの距離が1.5cmとなるように統一して設計した。この接合部の高さは標準的な耳の高さとして選定した数値条件である。
(Preparation of mask sample)
The above-mentioned various facets and materials were combined to form a mask shape. Specifically, the prepared filter media for the face piece, the surface material, and the like are stacked and folded in half, and two materials for the ear hooks (described above) are sandwiched between them by a dimension corresponding to the width of the joint portion 23 described above. In this state, welding was performed by an ultrasonic welding machine, and the welding portions 15a and 15b and the bonding portion 23 were formed at the same time. Further, each mask sample was obtained by cutting with a punching die having an ear hook hole and an approximate shape of the mask. The dimensions and shape of the produced mask are such that the height of the joint between the facet and the ear hook is 6.0 cm, and the distance to the unjoined ear hook hole in the cheek contact area A is 1.5 cm. It was designed in a unified manner. The height of this joint is a numerical condition selected as the standard ear height.

(マスクサンプルの評価測定)
これら、各面体並びに各素材の平板での通気度並びに剛性などの評価測定結果と構成とを表1に示す。尚、表1では、図2に示した耳掛け部21を頬接触領域Aと耳接触領域Bとに分け、各々の素材構成を示すと共に、耳接触領域Bを装着するために摘んで所定長に引き延ばした後に形状復帰した状態で通気度並びに剛性について評価測定を実施した。この所定長とは、前述したマンヘッドに装着する際に必要な伸張寸法であり、耳掛け部の実寸75mmに対して25mm伸張させ、統一して100mmにまで引き伸ばした。さらに、このマンヘッドに装着した各マスクの漏れ率を『労研式マスクフィッティングテスター M−03型』(柴田化学株式会社製,商品名)で計測した。この測定機器では、マスクの外と内での大気塵ダスト個数をモニタリングし、大気塵ダストの個数比率を求めて漏れ率をパーセントで算出した。従って、大気塵ダストを含む外気が、マスクの面体層を通過しマスク内に流入すれば、対象粒子は面体層で濾過されるため、マスク内粒子は外気の粒子より少なく計測され、一方、マスクと顔面との隙間から外気が混入すると、マスク内粒子が増える。よって、漏れ率が小さいほど、マスクと顔面との間の密閉性が高いことになる。「漏れ率」は、以下の式により算出される値を用いた。
漏れ率(%)=(Pi/Po) × 100
[式中、Piは、マスク内の対象粒子数で、Poは、マスク外の対象粒子数]
これら測定は、何れも3回実施し、その平均値として求めた。測定順は漏れ率の測定後、マンヘッドから取り外した状態での各領域の通気度測定並びに剛性測定の順とした。
(Evaluation measurement of mask sample)
Table 1 shows the evaluation measurement results and configurations of these facepieces and flat plates of each material such as air permeability and rigidity. In Table 1, the ear hook portion 21 shown in FIG. 2 is divided into a cheek contact area A and an ear contact area B, the material composition of each is shown, and the ear contact area B is picked to be attached to a predetermined length. The air permeability and rigidity were evaluated and measured in a state where the shape was restored after being stretched to. This predetermined length is an extension dimension required when the ear hook is attached to the man head, and is extended by 25 mm with respect to the actual size of the ear hook portion of 75 mm, and is uniformly extended to 100 mm. Furthermore, the leakage rate of each mask attached to this man head was measured with "Labor Lab Mask Fitting Tester M-03" (manufactured by Shibata Chemical Co., Ltd., trade name). With this measuring device, the number of atmospheric dust inside and outside the mask was monitored, the number ratio of atmospheric dust was calculated, and the leakage rate was calculated as a percentage. Therefore, if the outside air containing air dust passes through the mask surface layer and flows into the mask, the target particles are filtered by the surface layer, so that the particles inside the mask are measured less than the particles of the outside air, while the mask. When outside air is mixed in through the gap between the mask and the face, the number of particles in the mask increases. Therefore, the smaller the leakage rate, the higher the airtightness between the mask and the face. For the "leakage rate", a value calculated by the following formula was used.
Leakage rate (%) = (Pi / Po) x 100
[In the formula, Pi is the number of target particles in the mask, and Po is the number of target particles outside the mask]
All of these measurements were carried out three times and calculated as the average value. The measurement order was the measurement of the leakage rate, the air permeability measurement of each region with the man head removed, and the rigidity measurement.

この表1から、本発明の構成を適用した実施例1と、頬接触領域Aの通気性を意図的に高めたことを除き、同一素材で耳掛け部を構成した比較例1との比較では、比較例1の構成で漏れ率が高まってしまう現象が見て採れる。また、実施例2と比較例2との比較では、何れも頬接触領域の通気性を失わせているが、耳掛け部に属する頬接触領域の剛性が面体の剛性に較べて高い条件を備えることで漏れ率が増加してしまう点が理解できる。これら2つの結果から、「面体に対して相対的に耳材の通気度が低いこと」、「面体に対して相対的に耳材の剛性が低いこと」の2つの要件を満足することによって、漏れ率低減効果がより大きくなることが理解できる。
また参考例は、前述のとおり、比較例1のマスクに前述した特許文献3の技術を応用した。まず、耳掛け部に用いた素材aを2つ折にし、幅1cm、長さ6cmの帯状の部材を準備した。次いで、この帯状部材の折線が面体側を向くように接合部の接合時に取り付け、「漏れ防止部」を設けた。しかし、その作製には高度な加工を必要とし、本発明の構成を適用した実施例ほどの漏れ率低減効果は得られなかった。
尚、耳接触領域Bに相当する耳掛け部21では、マスク脱着時の寸法変化によって構造が変化するが、素材の初期値に較べ、全ての測定対象で通気性は高くなり、剛性は低くなるという、ごく僅かな影響が確認できた。これに対して、頬接触領域Aでは脱着による測定結果への影響は全くなかった。
From Table 1, a comparison between Example 1 to which the configuration of the present invention is applied and Comparative Example 1 in which the ear hook portion is made of the same material except that the air permeability of the cheek contact region A is intentionally increased is compared. , The phenomenon that the leakage rate increases in the configuration of Comparative Example 1 can be seen. Further, in the comparison between Example 2 and Comparative Example 2, the air permeability of the cheek contact region is lost, but the rigidity of the cheek contact region belonging to the ear hook portion is higher than the rigidity of the face piece. It can be understood that this increases the leakage rate. From these two results, by satisfying the two requirements of "the air permeability of the ear material is relatively low with respect to the face body" and "the rigidity of the ear material is relatively low with respect to the face body". It can be understood that the effect of reducing the leakage rate becomes greater.
Further, as a reference example, as described above, the technique of Patent Document 3 described above was applied to the mask of Comparative Example 1. First, the material a used for the ear hook was folded in half to prepare a strip-shaped member having a width of 1 cm and a length of 6 cm. Next, the strip-shaped member was attached at the time of joining so that the folding line of the strip-shaped member faced the face body side, and a "leakage prevention portion" was provided. However, its production requires a high degree of processing, and the effect of reducing the leakage rate as in the examples to which the configuration of the present invention is applied cannot be obtained.
The structure of the ear hook portion 21 corresponding to the ear contact area B changes due to the dimensional change when the mask is attached and detached, but the air permeability is higher and the rigidity is lower in all measurement targets than the initial value of the material. I was able to confirm a very slight effect. On the other hand, in the cheek contact area A, there was no effect on the measurement result due to the desorption.
