Description

Mask with mask strap fastener

The present invention relates to a mask having a mask string fixture, and more particularly, to adjust the length of the mask string to fit the face or to easily replace it according to the wearer's choice, and to increase the adhesion between the mask and the wearer's face It relates to a mask having a mask string fixture made to improve the convenience of wearing and the efficiency of use.

In general, a face mask is used to cover the nose and mouth to prevent inhalation and scattering of bacterial viruses or dust for health and hygiene reasons. Masks are widely used not only to block or prevent the spread of virus bacteria in carriers, but also to avoid inhaling dust or fine dust contained in the air due to serious air pollution.

In particular, in Korea, fine dust from China has recently emerged as a serious social problem. When exposed to fine dust for a long period of time, immunity rapidly decreases, causing respiratory diseases such as colds, asthma and bronchitis, as well as cardiovascular diseases, skin diseases, and eye diseases. may be exposed to disease.

On the other hand, the recent outbreak of the coronavirus has spread all over the world, and since no suitable treatment or vaccine has been developed, it is a situation in which wearing a mask has to become routine for the next several years.

These masks prevent fine dust, yellow dust, dust, mist, and viruses from entering the body through the respiratory system.

As such, the mask, which must be worn in daily life, is usually made of a mask body part that covers the user's mouth and nose while closely covering the face when worn, and a string part provided on both sides of the mask body part to be hung on both ears, Accordingly, the inside of the mask body part is configured to have a built-in filter for blocking fine dust or viruses.

However, in the conventional mask, the mask strap part was loose or tight depending on the wearer's face size or ear position. Accordingly, when the mask is worn for a long time, the wearer has a problem in that the mask flows down and external air flows into the edge of the main body as it is, or the wearer receives pain due to stimulation on the face.

The problem of the conventional mask is that the length of the mask string is a limited length of the setting, and it is formed by forming the mask body and the mask body integrally through heat, laser or ultrasonic fusion. Manufacturing of such a mask inevitably leads to an increase in manufacturing cost along with the complexity of the device during manufacturing, and has a significant problem in that the fusion defect rate between the main body and the string is also high.

In order to solve the problems of the conventional mask, a method of adjusting the length of the string of the mask in various ways has been proposed.

However, still most methods have been proposed to adjust the length of the string on the mask string unit itself or to provide a separate stopper, or to form holes at both ends of the mask body unit itself and tie the string through the knot.

However, in such a conventional mask, the length of the strap cannot be easily adjusted or replaced according to the wearer's choice, which not only causes inconvenience in use, but also reduces the adhesion between the edge of the mask and the wearer's face, so that outside air still flows into the mask This causes a problem in that the original purpose and efficiency of the mask itself is lowered.

Accordingly, there is a growing demand for a mask that can easily adjust or replace the length of the mask strap to fit the wearer's face, and increase the adhesion between the mask and the wearer's face to improve the convenience and efficiency of wearing the mask. there is a situation.
