Multipurpose masks can have a variety of uses, for example, blocking fine dust, blocking pollutants, blocking bacteria, blocking viruses, or blocking ultraviolet rays. The sealing body 11 is a part that covers the nose and mouth, and external air can pass through the sealing body 11 and flow into the nose or mouth. The sealed body 11 may have a filter function itself or may have a structure in which a filter is accommodated therein. Optionally, it may have a structure in which a filter is accommodated inside and the filter can be replaced. The sealing body 11 may be made of a polyester fiber material containing antibacterial components such as silver, for example. The sealed body 11 may have a structure that has relatively greater elasticity than other parts, covers the face area, and creates a free space inside. Close borders (12a, 12b) may be formed on the peripheral surface of the sealing body (11), for example, close borders (12a, 12b) may be formed along the edges of the lower and upper portions of the sealing body (11). there is. The close contact edges 12a and 12b may have a structure extending from one end to the other along the width direction of the sealing body 11, and may have a relatively large elastic modulus compared to the sealing body 11. Alternatively, the close-fitting edges 12a and 12b have relatively small elasticity, so they can fit closely to the face area and be made into a band structure. Linear border portions (13a, 13b) may be formed between the sealing body (11) and the close contact edges (12a, 12b), and the boundary portions (13a, 13b) may be formed, for example, of the tight borders (12a, 12b). It can be a finishing area for . The close borders 12a, 12b may, for example, be made of multiple layers, have a relatively high density, or be made of a dense structure, thereby having a relatively large elastic modulus or small elasticity. You can have it. Blocking fences (15a, 15b, 16a, 16b) may be installed on the inner portion of the close border (12a, 12b), and the blocking fence (15a, 15b, 16a, 16b) is attached to the close border (12a) while the mask is worn. , It may have the function of preventing external air introduced through the gap created in 12b) from being guided into the inside of the sealed body 11 and flowing into the respiratory tract. The blocking fences (15a, 15b, 16a, 16b) may be formed as width-wise blocking fences (15a, 15b) or side blocking fences (16a, 16b). External air flowing in from the eye area or mouth area can be blocked by the widthwise blocking fences 15a and 15b, and external air flowing in from the ear area or cheek area can be blocked by the side blocking fences 16a and 16b. You can. The width direction blocking fences 15a and 15b may be formed at intervals from the boundary portions 13a and 13b and may be formed to have the same or similar length as the boundary portions 13a and 13b. And the side blocking fences 16a and 16b may be formed in a structure that connects both ends of the different boundary portions 13a and 13b formed at the top and bottom. The blocking fences 15a, 15b, 16a, and 16b may have a tube shape, for example, or a shape in which the middle portion of the tube shape is cut, but are not limited thereto. For example, the blocking fences 15a, 15b, 16a, and 16b have a tube-shaped structure extending along the width direction, or the circumferential surface of the tube shape is cut along the extension direction so that two separate wings extend inward. It can be a structure that extends to . The blocking fences 15a, 15b, 16a, and 16b may have various structures and may be formed at various locations and are not limited to the presented embodiment. Wearing hooks 17a and 17b may be formed on both sides of the sealed body 11 so that they can be worn on the ears. The wearing hooks 17a and 17b may be made, for example, by forming incision lines on both sides of the sealing body 11, but are not limited thereto and may be made in various ways. The blocking fences 15a, 15b, 16a, and 16b can prevent outside air from entering the nose or mouth without being filtered through gaps formed at the top, bottom, or side of the sealing body 11. The blocking fences 15a, 15b, 16a, and 16b may be formed in various structures. In FIG. 1, the blocking fence 15b shown on the lower part of the sealed body 11 represents a blocking fence and may have the same or similar structure as the blocking fence 15a formed on the upper part of the sealed body 11.

Figure 2 shows an example of a blocking fence structure applied to a mask according to the present invention.

Referring to Figure 2, at least one blocking fence (15a, 15b) may extend along the extension direction of the close contact edges (12a, 12b) on the inner portion of the close contact edges (12a, 12b).

The close contact edges 12a and 12b may have a band shape that extends with a certain width and may have a structure that closely adheres to the face area. The blocking fence (15a) forms a predetermined gap with the close border (12a) and extends in the width direction of the sealing body (11) or along the extension direction of the close border (12a) to the same or similar length as the close border (12a). You can. The blocking fence 15a may be made of two layers of the sealing body 11, and two separate virtual lines extending in the direction of the sealing edge 12a may be formed below the sealing edge 12a. And a tube-shaped blocking fence 15a can be formed by connecting two virtual lines. The blocking fence 15a may be shaped like a tube, but as shown in FIG. 2, the opposite side of the joined portion can be cut along the longitudinal direction of the tube shape to form two separate wings. The blocking fence 15a can be made in a variety of ways and is not limited to the presented embodiment.

Figure 3 shows another example of a mask according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the sealing body 11 further includes expansion/contraction limiting portions 32 formed on both sides. The sealing body 11 may have an overall shape in which the central portion is convex outward, and the lower portion of the sealing body 11 may be formed to extend long enough to reach a chin. Close contact borders (12a, 12b) may be formed along the circumferential surface of the sealed body 11, and the close contact borders (12a, 12b) may be distinguished from the sealed body 11 by boundary portions (13a, 13b). . The sealed body 11 may be made of polyester material with relatively high elasticity and may include antibacterial fibers. The close contact edges 12a and 12b may have less elasticity and be relatively thick or dense compared to the sealed body 11, thereby improving adhesion. The close contact edge 12b formed below the sealing body 11 may be formed to have a relatively large width. The middle portion of the upper close contact edge 12a may be formed to have a larger width than the other portions. Specifically, the upper close contact edge 12a may be formed to have a width of a certain length in both directions centered on the reference portion 31 having a large width, and then be formed into a structure having a constant width. An expansion/contraction restriction portion 32 may be formed on both sides of the sealed body 11 or on the side of the sealed body 11 where the wearing hangers 17a and 17b are formed. The wear hooks 17a and 17b are held on the ears due to their elasticity, and may be stretched or contracted during activities. As a result, a gap may be created in the side portion of the sealed body 11 through which external air can easily enter. The expansion and contraction restriction portion 32 maintains a level of close contact with the human body at both side portions of the sealing body 11 regardless of the expansion and contraction of the wearing hooks 17a and 17b. The elasticity limiting portion 32 may be formed to have a small elasticity or a high modulus of elasticity, and may be formed as a structure in which the close contact edges 12a and 12b are connected. The stretch restriction portion 32 may be formed in various structures and is not limited to the presented embodiment.

Figure 4 shows an example of elastic deformation of the mask according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the sealing body 11 may have elasticity left and right or up and down, and the degree of expansion in the left and right directions may be greater than the degree of expansion in the up and down directions. For example, in the left-right or up-down direction of the sealed body 11, the length after stretching (HDV) may be 2 to 5 times the length before stretching (HD). In comparison, if the same force is applied to the elasticity limiting portion 32, the length after stretching (LDV) can be 1.2 to 1.5 of the length before stretching (LD). Due to the elasticity characteristics of the elasticity limiting portion 32, the adhesion of the mask can be maintained regardless of physical activity.

Figure 5 shows an example of a process for manufacturing a mask according to the present invention.

Masks can be made in a variety of ways, and masks can be used for different purposes. For example, a mask may function as an article that protects the face or neck area, such as a neck warmer. Alternatively, such items can be used as masks by appropriately changing their structure. For example, the neck warmer may be composed of a cylindrical protective body 41 and edges 42a and 42b formed on the upper and lower sides of the protective body 41. Blocking fences 15a and 15b may be formed inside the protective body 41, and vertical cuts 43a and 43b may be formed on both sides of the protective body 41 in a two-layered state. And the outer portion of the vertical cut portions 43a and 43b may function as a wear hook. Masks can be made in a variety of ways and are not limited to the presented embodiments.
