The mask body 200 may be mounted in a form that is fixedly coupled to the front support portion 110 of the support wire 100, but may be coupled to the front support portion 110 in a detachable manner. When the mask body 200 is detachably coupled to the front support part 110, the user can separate and replace only the mask body 200 to continuously use the support wire 100, making it easy to maintain and use the mask. This is improved.

Conventional masks according to the prior art are formed in a form in which fixing straps are coupled to both ends of the mask body, and the fixing straps are worn on the ears, whereas the mask according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed by elastic adhesion to the user's head (P ) Is formed in a form in which the mask body 200 is coupled to the support wire 100 that is elastically tightly fixed to both sides of the ), and the support wire 100 is not fixed in a manner that is caught by the user's ear (P2), but elastic adhesion Since the support wire 100 is not pressed against the user's ear P2, the support wire 100 can maintain a comfortable fit without pain due to ear compression even if worn for a long time because the support wire 100 is not pressed against the user's ear P2.

Looking in more detail, the front support portion 110 and the fixed support portion 120 of the support wire 100 may be integrally formed through a single wire as shown in FIG. 1. The front support 110 may be formed to be curved in a shape that protrudes forward in response to the facial contours around the nose and mouth of the user, and the fixed support 120 is directed backward from the left and right ends of the front support 110 It is formed in a shape that is bent, and may be formed to be bent in a shape that protrudes to be curved corresponding to the contour of the head.

At this time, it is preferable that the fixed support portions 120 formed on the left and right sides of the front support portion 110 are formed to be smaller than the lateral width of the average human head, and the intervals between them are variously Can be set.

In this way, the gap between the two fixed support parts 120 is formed to be smaller than the width of the user's head P, so that both fixed support parts 120 elastically adhere to both sides of the user's head P, as shown in FIG. It is fixed. In other words, when the user wears the mask, the fixed support 120 on both sides is extended so that the distance between them increases as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 3 and is arranged to the side of the user's head and ears (P2) (or the front support ( The mask body 200 of 110) is placed in a position surrounding the nose and mouth area (P1)), and when the extended state of the fixed support part 120 is released in this state, the fixed support part 120 It is fixedly attached to the side of the head of the body.

In this case, the fixing support 120 is formed to extend along the outer area of the user's ear P2 so that it is disposed in a non-contact state with the user's ear P2 while being in close contact with the side of the human head P.

Therefore, in the mask according to an embodiment of the present invention, since the fixing support 120 is elastically fixed to the side of the user's head (P) and is not fixed to the user's ear, there is no pressure on the ear even if worn for a long time, so it is comfortable without pain You can keep fit.

Meanwhile, a laryngeal extension 130 may be formed at the rearmost end of the fixed support 120 to bend and extend toward the laryngeal portion of the user so as to partially enclose the larynx (back head) portion of the user and make elastic contact. Through this laryngeal extension 130, the tight fixing force to the user is strengthened, so that a more stable wearing structure can be achieved.

In addition, since the fixed support part 120 is tightly fixed to the side of the user's head, although not shown, a separate outer cover (not shown) is coupled to the outside of the fixed support part 120 in a form surrounding the fixed support part 120 The outer cover may be formed of a soft material such as silicone or a fibrous material, and thus may be formed to minimize foreign body feeling to the user.

The length adjusting means 300 may be formed in various forms, and the length adjusting means 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention is made of a soft material such as silicon in which an insertion hole 311 is formed on one side in the front-rear direction. It is configured to include a coupling block 310 and a spiral coil wire 320 inserted and fixed in close contact with the inner circumferential surface of the insertion hole 311 so as to be disposed in at least a portion of the section along the length direction inside the insertion hole 311 . The coil wire 320 is formed in the form of a coil spring in which the wire is wound in a spiral shape.

At this time, the rear end of the front fixing member 121 is inserted into the front end of the insertion hole 311, the front end of the rear fixing member 122 is inserted into the rear end of the insertion hole 311, and the front fixing member ( At least one of the 121 and the rear fixing member 122 is inserted into the insertion hole 311 so as to be movable back and forth, and a locking protrusion 123 is formed at the end to be engaged with the coil wire 320.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the front fixing member 121 is fixed in a state where the rear end is inserted into the front end of the insertion hole 311 of the coupling block 310, and the rear fixing member 122 is The front end may be inserted into the rear end of the insertion hole 311 of the coupling block 310 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction.

Since the spiral coil wire 320 is inserted in the inner circumferential surface of the insertion hole 311, the coil wire 320 is the inner circumferential surface of the insertion hole 311 by the wire thickness of the coil wire 320 as shown in FIG. It will form irregularities. The locking protrusion 123 formed at the front end of the rear fixing member 122 is engaged with the coil wire 320 in the insertion hole 311. As the locking protrusion 123 is engaged with the coil wire 320 in this way, the rear fixing member 122 is fixed in position while being inserted into the insertion hole 311 of the coupling block 310.

In this state, when the rear fixing member 122 is pulled out to the rear side, the engaging state of the locking protrusion 123 and the coil wire 320 is released, and the rear fixing member 122 moves rearward. In the process of moving the rear fixing member 122 backward, the unevenness and the locking protrusion 123 by the coil wire 320 are engaged to intermittently move backward. When the rear fixing member 122 moves backward in this way, the length of the fixing support part 120 increases.

In this way, the length of the fixing support 120 as a whole can be increased or decreased by pulling out the rear fixing member 122 from the insertion hole 311 to the rear by a required distance or inserting it forward.

On the other hand, the coil wire 320 is a configuration that is inserted to form irregularities in the inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole 311 of the coupling block 310, the insertion hole at the time of manufacturing the coupling block 310 without inserting the coil wire 320 The coupling block 310 may be fabricated in a manner that directly forms irregularities on the inner circumferential surface of 311. Since the operation of directly forming the irregularities on the inner circumferential surface of the insertion hole 311 requires a relatively high processing technology, a method of inserting a separate coil wire 320 into the insertion hole 311 for convenience of manufacturing and reduction of manufacturing cost It can be made to form irregularities.

By allowing the length of the fixed support part 120 to be adjusted through the length adjustment means 300 in this way, the user can freely adjust and use the length of the fixed support part 120 according to the size of their head. It can provide a wearing structure and a comfortable fit.
