Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mask used for covering the nose and mouth when a cold or hay fever.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A mask (hereinafter simply referred to as a mask) used to cover the nose and mouth when a cold or hay fever is currently made of white cotton cloth and gauze to show a clean feeling. Is made. A typical structure and outline of this mask will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. In FIG. 6, the white filter 1 allows air to pass through but functions to prevent passage of pathogens of colds and pollen that causes hay fever.
It is usually composed of white absorbent cotton or a white filter (a special filter that uses the function of static electricity). The white filter 1 is protected by covering it with a white protective cloth 2 made of white cotton cloth as shown by an arrow. Then, it is folded back through the white rubber cord 3 for the left ear and the white rubber cord 4 for the right ear. After that, FIG.
Sew the part of seam 5 of.

In actual use, in order to cleanly protect the mouth and nose, a sterilized gauze 6 is inserted between the mouth and the mouth. The white elastic cord is formed by wrapping a normal elastic cord in a white cloth bag. In recent years, such as chemical fiber and paper,
Masks using materials other than cotton cloth and gauze are also manufactured. However, in order to show a clean feeling, the surface of each of them is white. Some are actively bleached to increase their whiteness.

[0004]

By the way, since white is a characteristic color, a white mask is very noticeable even at a long distance. Moreover, since the gauze mask has been mainly used to prevent a cold or a cold, it gives a painful impression when the mask is noticed. On the other hand, when I put on my mask, I felt embarrassed because I felt that I could be painfully seen by people. for that reason,
In places where a lot of people gather, such as a meeting room, a lecture hall, or a train, where it is necessary to put on the mask most when a cold is caught, the mask tends to be removed.

There are also masks that are treated as one of the accessories and are aesthetically dyed in pink or blue, or are further patterned. However, on the contrary, the mask stands out,
It is difficult to use because you will feel out of place when you go to work or school. Also, aesthetically dyed or patterned pink or plu has too strong individuality, and the clothes that the mask suits are limited. Or, such as a necklace or a pouch, there are drawbacks such as the need to prepare many masks that match the color and pattern of each clothes.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, at least a portion which becomes a surface when the mask is mounted, that is, the shaded surface 7 of the mask shown in FIG. 8 and 9 (may be a string that does not expand or contract) when viewed from a distance, a skin color that is close to the skin color of the face or a color near light brown, that is, a Munsell value of 9R to 10YR and 5Y And has a hue ranging from 3 to 9 (hereinafter collectively referred to as "F color").

[0007]

The surface of the mask according to the present invention is dyed in a color (F color) close to the color of the face. Therefore, the color of the mask becomes a protective color for the face part to be worn, and becomes inconspicuous at least in the distance. You can see that you are wearing a mask when you face each other at a familiar position. However, it is less noticeable than conventional white, pink or blue masks. Also,
Once you get used to it, you almost don't care. Therefore, embarrassment when I am wearing a mask is also reduced,
Not only when you go out normally, but in the meeting room or train where you used to take off your mask for embarrassment,
You can easily continue wearing the mask even in a place where many people gather. Further, the usual clothes are colored on the assumption that the color of the face is a skin color, and the mask according to the present invention having a color close to the color of the face allows any clothes to be worn without a feeling of discomfort.

[0008]

The structure of the mask according to the first embodiment of the present invention is basically the same as that of the conventional mask shown in FIGS. However, instead of the white protective cloth 2 and the white rubber cords 3 and 4, a color close to the skin color of the face (F
Skin color protective cloth 12 and skin color rubber string 13
It is different from the conventional mask in that it is constructed using 14 and 14.
That is, the cotton cloth and the white rubber cords 3 and 4 constituting the white protective cloth 2 are colored with a Munsell value of 10YR9 / 3 (hue = 10YR, lightness = 9, saturation = 3) (common egg name thin egg color). Dye in advance. Using this skin-colored protective cloth 12 and skin-colored rubber strings 13 and 14 obtained by dyeing,
As described above, the mask is constructed according to the same procedure as the conventional one.
However, the procedure after FIG. 2 is performed similarly to FIG.

The color to be dyed is not limited to the light egg color, but may be a color close to the skin color of the face. FIG. 3 illustrates a range of colors close to the skin color of the face. Especially for colors close to skin color, 10YR8 / 3 (traditional color name light incense), 5YR
8/5 (JIS common color name skin color), 10YR9 / 3 (common color name thin egg color), 2.5Y8 / 4 (J1S common color name leghorn), 2.5Y9 / 1.5 (common color name) Color), 2.5Y8 / 7.5 (JIS common color name Navel Yellow). These colors are distributed within the area 15 in FIG.

Further, as a color which is slightly darker or lighter than the skin color but is sufficiently effective, 2.5Y7.
5/4 (perfumed color name), 2.5Y8.5 / 1.5
(Ivory color of common color name), 3.5Y8.5 / 4.5 (Asahiko of common color name), 5Y9 / 1.5 (Toriko color of common color name), 10YR7.5 / 4.5 ( Idiomatic color name),
7.5YR7.5 / 8 (decay leaf with common color name), 10R7.
5/5 (red color of common color name), 10YR9 / 1 (generation of JIS common color name), 5Y8.5 / 3.5 (cream of common color name of JIS), 10YR8 / 7.5 (common color name of JIS) Egg color). These colors are distributed within the area 16 in FIG.

In the region 17, a light brown color to a color close to red copper is distributed, and it is too black as compared with the average Japanese skin color. However, the effect is obtained when the skin color is slightly black or tan.

Areas 15 and 16 are Munsell hues 9R.
To 5Y, lightness 6 to 9, and including the color of the area 17, Munsell hues 9R to 5Y and lightness 3 to 9. The saturation of the colors particularly close to the skin color listed in the above description of the area 15 has a value of 1 to 5, and is distributed in the area of relatively low saturation. However, the effect of saturation is not as great as that of lightness. All hues are red (R), yellow red (YR), yellow (Y), yellow green (GY), green (G), blue green (BG), blue (B), blue purple (PB), purple (P). ), Red purple (RP) 10
Although it is composed of colors, the colors that can be used in the present invention are empirically limited to the colors in a considerably narrow range shown in FIG.

The color of the surface of the mask according to the present embodiment is close to the color of the skin, and becomes inconspicuous at least at a distance. Even when face-to-face at a familiar position, it is not as noticeable as the conventional white, pink, or blue mask, and if you get used to it, you will hardly notice it. As a result, the embarrassment of wearing a mask is alleviated, and you can continue to wear a mask easily not only when you are out, but also in meeting rooms, trains, and other places where people gather. become. In addition, colors such as white, pink, and blue are too strong in individuality, and there are few things that look good with ordinary clothes that are colored on the assumption that the face part is flesh-colored. On the other hand, since the color of the mask according to the present invention is dyed in a color close to the color of the skin of the face, a wide range of clothes and color balance can be obtained.
The range of clothes that can be selected when putting on a mask is widened.

As described above, the mask according to this embodiment becomes inconspicuous at least at a long distance. Even when faced in a familiar position, it is not as noticeable as a conventional white mask,
Once you get used to it, you almost don't care. Therefore, embarrassment when I am wearing a mask is also reduced,
You will be able to easily continue wearing masks even in places where people gather. In addition, it is possible to wear normal clothes that are colored on the assumption that the color of the face is flesh tones, without any discomfort.

Next, the structure of the mask according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In this embodiment, the skin-colored protective cloth 12 to be dyed in the first embodiment is dyed only in a dyeing range 20 shown by hatching in FIG. 4, which includes a portion which finally becomes the surface of the mask. . Other configurations are carried out in the same manner as in the first embodiment. The surface color when the mask of this embodiment is applied becomes a color (F color) close to the skin color of the face, as in the mask of the first embodiment. Therefore, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained. Further, in the mask of the present embodiment, the color of the range 21 including the portion on the side touching the mouth is the same white as the conventional one. Therefore, even a person who cares that the dyed flesh-colored cotton cloth touches his / her mouth, the flesh-colored mask can be put on with confidence.

As described above, also in the mask according to the present embodiment, the embarrassment when wearing the mask is reduced, and the mask can be easily worn not only when going out normally but also in a place where people gather. You will be able to continue.
In addition, the selection range of clothes to be selected when putting on the mask is widened. In addition, even a person who cares that the dyed cotton cloth touches his / her mouth, the skin color mask can be safely worn.

When the texture of the cotton cloth used as the protective cloth 12 is rough, the color of the white filter 1 inside can be seen through between the textures. Therefore, when this mask is viewed from a distance, the color of the flesh-colored protective cloth 12 and the color of the transparent white filter 1 are mixed with each other, and the mask looks lighter than the flesh-colored protective cloth 12. In such a case, depending on the roughness of the texture of the flesh-colored protective cloth 12, it may be dyed with a color having a slightly low lightness or a color having a high saturation.

When the texture of the cotton cloth used as the protective cloth 12 is rough, the white filter 1 is dyed in advance with the same color as the flesh-colored protective cloth 12 so that the transparent color is the same as the flesh-colored protective cloth 12. You can keep it. However, it is necessary to select a dye and a filter that do not significantly reduce the filter performance even when dyed.

In each of the above embodiments, the structure of the mask according to the present invention has been described using the mask having the structure shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. However, as shown in FIG. 5, even in a mask having another structure, such as a mask having a structure in which the white protective cloth 2 and the white filter 1 are separated, at least the part which becomes the surface when the mask is put on the skin of the face. It is clear that the same effect can be obtained by dyeing in a color (F color) close to the color of.

As a method for dyeing the skin-colored protective cloth 12 and the skin-colored rubber cords 13 and 14, the conventional mask constituted by the steps of FIGS. 6 and 7 is dyed as it is, including the white filter 1. However, it is clear that it is okay.

[0021]

As described above, the mask according to the present invention becomes inconspicuous at least at a long distance. Even when face-to-face at a familiar position, it is not as noticeable as a conventional white mask, and if you get used to it, you will hardly notice it. Therefore, the embarrassment of wearing a mask is alleviated, and you can easily continue to wear a mask even in a place where people gather. In addition, it is possible to wear normal clothes that are colored on the assumption that the color of the face is flesh tones, without any discomfort.
