Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a mask.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Most conventional masks are sewn gauze and combined with a rubber cord. With the mask having such a configuration, the only way to keep the face in contact with the mouth and nose clean is to keep it clean. Furthermore, since the appearance of the mask becomes poor after washing, the life of the mask itself is short. Therefore, it keeps cleanliness, is inexpensive, and is easy to use.
Disposable masks such as the 8456 have been devised.

[0003]

The problem to be solved by the present invention is that since the conventional mask is formed integrally with the rubber cord to be worn on the ear, the cost for assembling the rubber cord is less than the cost of the entire mask. This is a point that occupies a lot. Even in disposable masks such as Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-119955 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 02-8456, a rubber cord is integrally formed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a disposable mask that is always clean, cheaper and easier to use.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a mask comprising a filter for covering the mouth and nose, and two holders for connecting rubber bands for hanging on the ears at both ends of the filter. Is inserted into a slit hole formed in the holder and folded back to be connected and held.

[0005]

[Function] As described above, both ends of the filter are inserted into the slit holes provided in the holder and folded back to be connected,
In this state, put the folded part on the face side and put it on your face (hang the rubber string attached to the holder on your ear), the folded part of the filter will be sandwiched between the holder and the cheek, or the filter itself and the cheek, and the filter will be held in the holder. It is stably attached to the face without falling off. Since the disposable mask according to the present invention has a structure in which the filter part and the holder part are separated from the conventional mask, only the filter needs to be disposable. Furthermore, since the method of connecting the filter and the holder is simple, the structure of the filter itself can be simplified and the filter can be manufactured at low cost.

The holder 2 is provided with a slit hole 3 and a rubber string 4 to be worn on the ear is assembled. The holder 2 is made of flexible synthetic resin. As shown in FIG. 1, both ends of the filter 1 are inserted into the slit holes 3 provided in the holder 2 and folded back. In this state, when the folded portion 1a is placed on the face with the folded portion 1a on the face (the rubber string 4 attached to the holder 2 is hung on the ear), the holder 2 bends along the cheek, and the folded portion 1a of the filter 1 becomes the holder 2. Sandwiched between my cheeks
The filter 1 will not fall out of the holder 2.
Then, if the filter 1 becomes dirty, it can be replaced at any time.

[0008]

As described above, the disposable mask according to the present invention can be used in a clean state at all times because the unclean filter portion can be disposable. And, since the filter has a simple structure, it can be provided at a low cost. Furthermore, filters having various structures according to the intended use can be provided in a compatible form.

Since the method of connecting the filter and the holder is a simple method in which the end of the filter is simply folded back, anyone can easily use it, and the length of the mask can be adjusted according to the user. That is, by exchanging the filter, an unspecified number of people can jointly use it.

Further, the holder can be given various designs, and can have a decorative value which is not available in the conventional mask.
