Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an eye mask with ear plugs, and more particularly to an eye mask for eliminating discomfort when the ear plugs are not used and improving convenience when carrying the ear plugs.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are a number of known prior arts of this kind, but in each case, one to three relatively long strings or rubber strings are hung vertically on both sides of the eye mask body. The earplugs are attached to the above (see Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-8423, No. 2-143924, No. 3-24121, and Registered No. 709050).

These devices and designs can be evaluated by attaching earplugs to the ends of the cords so that the earplugs can be inserted into the ear canal so that the user can get a good night's sleep. Not only earplugs but also relatively long strings of 1 to 3 cannot avoid touching the ears, the back hair, and the face during use, resulting in annoyance and discomfort.

Further, since the cord hangs down when the eye mask is not used, it is complicated to store and arrange the cord and earplugs when carrying the eye mask, which is not convenient. Furthermore, since an auxiliary pand is provided as a means for mounting and fixing it on the face, it is impossible to avoid a feeling of strangeness in use.

[0005]

The problems to be solved are that there is a feeling of strangeness when the earplugs are not used and convenience when carrying them.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a basic structure in which ear hook holes are provided on both sides of an eye mask main body made of a soft sheet, respectively. The earplug mounting pieces made of a soft material are provided in the both ear-hooking holes of the earplugs, and the earplugs project from the free ends of these earplug mounting pieces toward the front side of the eye mask body. In addition to the above, the main body of the eye mask is a flexible sheet that is elastic.

[0007]

[Function] When using the earplugs, the earplugs are directed to the front side and the back side is made to fit the face of the human body so that the eye mask main body fits and abuts, and the ear hook holes on both sides are hung around the ears to hold the body. After fixing, the earplug attachment piece made of a soft material is twisted on the back side immediately to the face side of the human body, and the earplug provided at its free end is inserted into the ear hole for use.

On the other hand, when the earplugs are not used, the earplugs are directed to the front side and the back side is fitted to the face of the human body so that the eye mask body fits well and the ear hook holes on both sides are hooked around the ears. The earplugs are left fixed on the front side so that they do not touch the ears and face only to fix the main body.

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a main portion showing a state in which earplugs are twisted and bent, and FIG.
FIG. 4 is a front perspective view showing a usage state. Hereinafter, details of the embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.

The eye mask body 10 is made of a soft sheet made of cloth or a soft plastic sheet so that the eye mask body 10 can be easily fitted to the human face during use.

As is generally known, the entire shape is a horizontally long rectangular shape.

The shape is not necessarily limited to that shown in the figures in order to be able to be worn on the human ear on both sides in the longitudinal direction at the time of use.
2 are provided respectively.

The function itself of the eye mask can be achieved by the above-mentioned structure, but the present invention provides the earplug 16 together as is generally adopted so that noise can be prevented from entering the ear and the subject can sleep well. Is considered as.

However, in the present invention, it is planned that the earplugs 16 will not be used, and various measures are taken to eliminate the discomfort caused by the earplugs 16 touching the back hair as well as the face and ears when not in use.

As shown in the figure, in the embodiment, the softness of the eye mask main body 10 by the soft sheet is utilized in the ear hook hole 12 to connect it to the periphery of the ear hook hole 12 and use the soft material. The earplug attachment piece 14 is vertically provided.

In the embodiment, as described above, the earplug attachment piece 14 is formed by extending a part of the eye mask body 10 and using the same material, but if it is soft and easy to twist. For example, it is free to provide the earplug attachment piece 14 with a separate material and connect it to the periphery of the earhook hole 12.

The earplug 1 is attached to the free end of the earplug attachment piece 14.
6 is attached, but the attaching direction of the earplug 16 is directed to the front side, as is clear from FIG.

Here, the front side means the side opposite to the face side of the human body when the eye mask is used.

That is, when the eye mask is worn, the earplugs are normally located on the front side.

Further, in this embodiment, the eye mask body 1
In addition to the soft sheet of No. 0, by adopting a stretchable soft sheet such as a cloth composed of thread rubber or the like in a woven structure or a sheet composed of foamed resin, This secures the fixation when the eye mask body 10 is worn on the ear.

That is, since the eye mask main body 10 is expandable and contractible, the main body 10 shrinks when worn on the face, so that the eye mask easily fits on the face and can be securely fixed, and the eye mask does not easily fall off.

[0022]

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, it has the following effects. (1) When using earplugs, since the earplug attachment piece to which the earplugs are attached is a soft material, it can be twisted and inserted into the human ear easily by changing the direction of the earplugs. Besides, there is no discomfort because there is no contact with the back hair. (2) By making the material of the eye mask main body flexible and expandable, it can be used securely and easily without being fixed by means such as a cord band unlike the conventional fixing means. .
