It's about my brother's mask.

In general, a mask is a protective article covering the mouth and nose to protect the face of the wearer by blocking cold, or to prevent inhalation of dust, bacteria, pathogens, etc. in the air into the human body through breathing.

Masks used for this purpose are usually made of a structure in which hooks are attached to both ends of a body made of a cotton fabric or the like.

In addition, the types include a general respirator mask having a substantially rectangular shape, and a dust mask having a semicircular shape.

The dust mask is worn on the face in order to prevent harmful substances generated in contaminated areas, various emergency situations, industrial fields where air may be polluted, and nuclear power plants that may be exposed to radioactive materials from entering the human body.

In addition, when the yellow dust blowing from China and other places is severe, outdoor activities are difficult, and there are cases where it is necessary to use a mask inside the house.

In addition, there are many cases in which the elderly with weak immunity must always wear a mask during outdoor activities.

In particular, interest in masks has been exploding due to the recent collective infection caused by the coronavirus.

The main body of the mask is made of a material such as gauze or non-woven fabric, and performs a function of trapping small particles through the gaps between the fibrous tissues.

Looking at such a conventional mask, Patent Application No. 10-2005-98616 relates to a dust mask, which allows semi-permanent use, allows comfortable breathing and conversation, and allows harmful substances to flow into the nose. Blocks things and at the same time prevents the glasses from getting moisture when breathing.

In addition, it is a dustproof mask that can improve the fit, adhesion and dustproof effect.

This is a mask formed into a hemispherical curved surface surrounding the mouth and nose, and the nose receiving portion and the filter receiving portion are provided with a diaphragm having a perforated suction hole facing the nostril therebetween, and a plurality of ventilation holes are perforated in the front of the filter receiving portion.
