Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to easily attach and detach a very thin fabric filter to and from a mask, by providing a pollen protection mask with a mask's main body having a pair of air-permeable cloth pieces whose top edges are joined together so that the topping cloth piece can be opened and closed, and by arranging the very thin fabric filter that can freely be attached and detached into and from between the pair of cloth pieces. SOLUTION: This pollen protection mask is provided with a mask's main body 2 consisting of a pair of cloth pieces 1a and 1b whose top edges are joined together, with strings 3 for hanging around ears, each being connected to each side end of the cloth piece 1a, and with a filter 4 arranged between the pair of cloth pieces 1a and 1b for free attachment and detachment. A soft wire 5 is sewed into the top edge of the cloth piece 1a for holding its shape. This filter 4 is made from unwoven cloth-like material consisting of very thin fibers, for instance, whose fabric diameter is about 10-30 micron-m, for protecting pollen from passing through the mask. For use, the pair of cloth pieces 1a and 1b of the mask's main body 2 are opened; the filter 4 is put into between them; and the cloth piece 1b side covers the user's nose and mouth in the same manner as a usual mask.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mask for preventing pollen from being sucked through a mouth or a nose.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Masks for preventing inhalation of pollen from the mouth and nose are known. Conventionally, this type of mask was sewn with a filter to prevent pollen from entering between a plurality of air-permeable cloths. However, this type of mask cannot be replaced because the filter is not replaceable. If clogged with pollen, it had to be discarded, which was not economical. Therefore, recently, it has become common to form a mask in a bag shape and insert a filter in the bag in a replaceable manner. This type of filter is more economical because it can be replaced even if the filter is clogged, but if the filter is made of microfiber, this filter is flexible and very suitable for mask cloth. Since it easily adheres, it is extremely difficult to properly insert it into the bag-shaped portion, and there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to replace the filter.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an easy-to-handle pollen repellent mask in which a filter made of ultrafine fibers can be easily attached and detached.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems To solve the above-mentioned problems, a pollen mask of the present invention comprises a mask body comprising a pair of air-permeable cloth pieces polymerized so as to be openable and closable at an upper part thereof, and It is characterized by comprising a cord for an ear hook connected to an end portion, and a filter made of ultrafine fibers, which is detachably provided between the pair of cloth pieces. In the anti-pollen mask having the above-mentioned configuration, the filter is attached by opening a cloth piece of the mask body, sandwiching the filter between them, and closing the filter. Then, it is used similarly to the conventional mask. At this time, since the filter was sandwiched between a pair of cloth pieces whose upper part was freely openable and closable, the filter was made of extra fine fiber and very soft,
In addition, even if the filter easily adheres to the cloth piece, the filter can be easily and quickly mounted without bending or wrinkling at the time of mounting, and the filter can be easily replaced.

[0005] In the present invention, preferably, a soft wire for shape retention is attached to at least one upper end of the pair of cloth pieces. As a result, the wire bends freely according to the unevenness of the face, and the upper part of the mask is in close contact with the nose and the like, so that pollen does not enter through the gaps in the upper part of the mask.

[0006]

1 and 2 show an embodiment of a pollen mask according to the present invention. The pollen mask of this embodiment has a pair of polymerized upper and lower portions that can be opened and closed. A mask body 2 composed of cloth pieces 1a and 1b, a cord 3 for ear hooks connected to both end portions of the cloth piece 1a in the mask body 2, and a detachable between the pair of cloth pieces 1a and 1b. And a filter 4 provided. A soft wire 5 for shape retention is embedded in the upper end of the cloth piece 1a, and the upper part of the mask body 2 is bent freely according to the shape of the nose of the user and fitted to the face. It can have a shape.

The mask body 2 includes a pair of cloth pieces 1a, 1
Only the lower end of b is integrated by sewing or the like, and is formed of a breathable cloth material suitable as a mask. The cloth pieces 1a and 1b may be different cloths sewn or a single cloth folded in two. The filter 4 prevents the passage of pollen, and is a nonwoven fabric made of, for example, ultrafine fibers having a fiber diameter of about 10 μm to 30 μm.

In the anti-pollen mask having the above structure, the cloths 1a and 1b of the mask body 2 are opened, and the filter 4 is mounted by closing the filter 4 between them. Then, the cloth piece 1b is applied to the nose and mouth and used like a conventional mask. At this time, since the soft wire 5 is buried at the upper end of the cloth piece 1a, the wire bends freely according to the unevenness of the face, and the upper part of the mask body 2 adheres closely to the nose or the like. Pollen does not penetrate. Thus, according to the mask, the filter 4 can be mounted very easily and quickly only by opening the pair of cloth pieces 1a and 1b and sandwiching them between them. Even if it is soft and easily adheres to the cloth pieces 1a and 1b, it can be easily and reliably mounted without bending or wrinkling at the time of mounting. Moreover, since the filter 4 made of ultrafine fibers as described above tends to be entangled with the cloth pieces 1a and 1b of the mask body 2, it is unnecessary to fix the filter 4 between the cloth pieces 1a and 1b at the time of use without fixing it. Never move.

Further, in this case, the cloth piece 1b is brought into contact with the nose and mouth during use, and the cloth piece 1a facing outward is pulled by the string 3, so that the upper part of the mask body can be opened during use of the mask. Therefore, the filter 4 sandwiched between the cloth pieces 1a and 1b does not drop.

In the above embodiment, the wire 4 is attached to the cloth piece 1a to which the string 3 is attached, but it may be attached to the other cloth piece 1b or to both.

[0011]

As described above in detail, according to the pollen mask of the present invention, the filter is sandwiched between a pair of cloth pieces whose upper portions are freely opened and closed, so that the filter is made of ultrafine fibers. Even if it is very soft and easy to attach to a piece of cloth, it can be easily and quickly mounted without bending or wrinkling at the time of mounting, and the filter can be easily replaced. In addition, by attaching a soft wire to the upper end of the cloth piece, the wire is bent freely and the upper part of the mask is brought into close contact with the face, so that pollen does not enter through a gap in the upper part of the mask.
