Description

Women's mask {WOMEN'S MASK}

The present invention relates to a mask for use for purposes such as protection from common cold viruses, pollen, and dust, and particularly relates to a mask which can be worn comfortably by a woman for an extended period of time without having to worry about the need to repair make- It is about a woman's mask.

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for effective masks for controlling allergies to pollen and preventing general cold. As masks are commercially available for a long time, masks are known which include a plurality of gauze layers woven in a generally rectangular shape, and ear pieces of a piece or string having elasticity provided at both ends of the body. In general, gauze masks having good moisture absorption properties have been widely used. The mask is comfortable to wear, but when used for extended periods of time, the inner surface in contact with the mouth and nose becomes wet and sticky due to the moisture in the breath blown from the mouth and nose, thereby deteriorating the feel during wearing.

Therefore, a prior art mask which can be used comfortably for a long period of time while preventing wetting and stickiness has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). 5, the main body 100 covering the mouth and nose is made of hydrophobic sheet material (hereinafter referred to as " inner surface ") at the inner surface to be in contact with the face 101 and a hydrophilic sheet material 102 at a surface (hereinafter referred to as "outer surface"

In another form, a photocatalyst is attached to at least one binder selected from alkyl silicate resins, silicone resins, and fluorinated resins on the fiber surfaces of the materials to be used for the top, inner, and innermost layers of the mask A mask having improved antibacterial, antifungal, and wear-comfort properties is known (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

Also, a foundation, lipstick, lotion, or the like, often rubs on the inner surface of the mask and sticks away and stains the mask. In order to prevent the foundation, lipstick, or the like from sticking directly to the inner surface of the mask and causing stains, a replaceable separate gauze is often additionally placed in place. However, since the gauze has a coarse mesh, the gauze wipes the foundation and lipstick, which makes it difficult to spot the gauze easily. 6, a smooth sheet 201 having little fluff and unevenness on the surface to be brought into contact with the skin is formed on the inner surface 200A of the mask body 200, for example, A mask having a configuration in which a mask is additionally disposed has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

Further, a mask capable of converting the main body of the mask into a three-dimensional shape in use in order to conform to the shape of the face is known. As such a mask, there is a corrugated mask in which a mask body made of a nonwoven fabric or the like is wrinkled in a transverse direction (see, for example, Patent Document 4), and two sheet members are bonded to a jointed palm (See, for example, Patent Document 5) connected in the form of a three-dimensional mask.

However, the masks of the prior art described above have many disadvantages. In the masks of the prior art, cosmetics (foundation, lipstick, etc.) and / or lotions are sometimes attached to the inner surface of the mask, especially when using their women.

Therefore, it is inconvenient and undesirable for the health to continuously use a mask with a foundation, lipstick, and the like attached thereto. Also, when the mask is peeled off in the presence of others, she may be worried about the need to repair the makeup or makeup, which is psychologically and psychologically undesirable.

Further, in the case where an independent sheet is additionally placed in place to prevent adhesion of foundation, lipstick, lotion, etc., as in the case of the mask described in Patent Document 3, And is easily exposed to the outside of the mask body. In addition, the sheet tends to be wrinkled and, when allowed to stand still, may result in a rough feeling, which may lead to a bad and uncomfortable feeling when used (worn).

Further, even when the mask body can be made in a three-dimensional shape in use, as in the case of the masks described in Patent Documents 4 and 5, it is possible to prevent adhesion of foundation, lipstick, etc. when the mask is used for a long period of time Is difficult. Also, recently, in the case of a three-dimensional mask, in order to achieve more reliable protection from general cold virus, pollen, etc., the number of masks in which the periphery of the mask is in close contact with the face is increasing. In such masks, movement of the foundation tends to occur.

The present invention has been devised in view of the above circumstances and it is an object of the present invention to provide a cosmetic composition which prevents the cosmetic from adhering to the mask even when a woman uses the same mask for a long period of time, It is to provide a mask of a woman who is excellent and has excellent comfort.

The above-mentioned problems can be solved by the following means.

(1) A mask comprising: a mask body covering at least a part of a user's face; and ear hooks provided on both sides of the mask body, wherein the inner surface of the mask body is made of a moisture- Mask.

(2) The female mask according to (1), wherein the moisture-proof and oil-repellent agent is a fluorine-based treating agent.

(3) The female mask according to (1) or (2), wherein the mask body comprises a nonwoven fabric containing polyester fibers.

(4) The female mask according to any one of (1) to (3), wherein the mask body is corrugated in the transverse direction.

(5) The mask according to any one of (1) to (3), wherein the mask body includes a pair of sheet members connected at an edge portion, and the connecting portion of the pair of sheets is formed into an outwardly convex curved shape .

(6) The female mask according to any one of (1) to (5), wherein the mask body has a multilayer structure including a plurality of sheet materials.

With respect to the mask according to the present invention, at least a portion (preferably the entirety) of the inner surface (the surface in contact with the user's face) of the mask body has been subjected to moisture and vapor treatment, do. In addition, due to its three-dimensional form, adhesion of facial products (e.g., cosmetics) rich in moisture and oil, as well as nasal mucus and saliva, can be prevented even when a woman wears the same mask for an extended period of time. Therefore, according to the present invention, a female mask having excellent comfort can be provided.

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention address the above drawbacks and other disadvantages not discussed above. However, the present invention is not required to overcome the disadvantages described above, and thus an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may not overcome any of the problems described above.

For purposes of example and for clarity of explanation, reference is made to the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 shows a mask 10 according to an embodiment of the invention. 1, the mask 10 includes a mask body 11 for covering a face of a user (e.g., near a mouth and a nostril), and a thin string provided on both sides of the mask body 11 Ear hooks 12.

The mask 10 shown in Fig. 1 is a mask in the form of a so-called "corrugated mask ", and the mask body 11 has a plurality of fold lines 14 (for example, 4 lines). The pleats 16 are folded into two substantially O-shapes in the state shown in FIG. 1 and the pleats 16 are formed in a three-dimensional form (not shown) to expand outwardly as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, . Therefore, in this embodiment, since the mask is wrinkled, it is rare that the lips and the mouth physically come into contact with the inner surface 11A of the mask body 11, so that it is useful for preventing adhesion of cosmetics, It does not interfere with the conversation.

As materials constituting the mask body 11, any materials well known as mask materials can be generally used. Specifically, the present invention can be applied to various types of textile materials such as gauzes, paper, moisture-permeable resin sheets, etc., as well as polyester fibers, polypropylene fibers, rayon fibers, nylon fibers, acetate fibers, wool fibers, And nonwoven fabrics made of polyethylene fibers can be mentioned. Among them, suitable materials for moisture and oil repellency are polyester fibers, rayon fibers, nylon fibers, gauze, paper, moisture-permeable resin sheets, and the like. Particularly, from the viewpoint of processability, it is preferable to use a polyester fiber or a nonwoven fabric of polypropylene fiber (hereinafter referred to as "polyester nonwoven fabric" and "polypropylene nonwoven fabric", respectively).

3A and 3B, the mask body 11 has a multilayer structure (the outermost layer 15A, the two intermediate layers 15B in FIGS. 3A and 3B) composed of a plurality of sheet materials 15, , And an innermost layer 15C). The durability of the mask body 11 can be improved by virtue of the fact that the mask main body 11 has such a multilayer structure. Specifically, as the intermediate layer 15B, it is preferable to use a polyester nonwoven fabric or a polypropylene nonwoven fabric or the like. Further, for the innermost layer 15C, it is preferable to use a polyester nonwoven fabric because it has a pleasant texture, and is excellent in moisture resistance and oil repellency treatment and heat-resistance processing ability.

It is also possible, depending on preference, to impart the desired treatments suitable for the respective layers, for example to give the coloring agent, perfume and / or pattern to the outermost layer 15A, It is possible to impart the antibacterial performance and / or the moisturizing performance to the antibacterial agent 15C. In particular, colorants such as pink, orange, lavender, yellow, blue, etc. as perfumes, fragrant perfumes as perfumes or the like as a coloring agent, and heart patterns, plaid patterns, flower patterns, lace patterns, , And the like are preferable.

As the material constituting the ear hook portion 12, well-known materials commonly used can be employed.

In addition, the inner surface 11A of the mask body 11 (Fig. 2B) is subjected to moisture-proof and oil-repellent treatment with a moisture-proof and oil-repelling treatment agent. The moisture-proof and oil-repellent treatment can be applied to part or all of the inner surface 11A of the mask body 11. Since the inner surface 11A of the mask body 11 is imparted with the moisture-proofing property and the oil-repellency property by the treatment, the mask has a structure in which the surface thereof easily resists moisture and oil, and the foundation and the oil- Cosmetics such as lipstick are hardly attached to the inner surface of the mask.

It is also possible that the ear hook portion 12 is subjected to moisture-proof and oil-repellent treatment, if necessary. In that case, polyester fiber, rayon fibers, nylon fibers, gauze, paper, moisture-permeable resin sheets, etc. are preferred as the material for earhook 12.

Generally, in the corrugated mask shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the lips, mouth, and the like are not in close contact with the inner surface 11A, but are deformed in a three-dimensional form during prolonged (for example, Due to the approach of the inner surface to the mouth by breathing or by suction through the interaction, the inner surface 11A can come into contact with the user's face and there is the possibility that cosmetics, etc. can attach to it. Also, the portions 18A and 18B where the face is in close contact easily pass through cosmetics through friction with the face. In this embodiment, however, since the inner surface 11A of the mask body 11 is subjected to the moisture-proof and oil-repellent treatment as described above, the transition of cosmetics such as foundation and lipstick can be prevented, .

As a moisture-proof and oil-repellent agent, well-known agents can be used as long as they are very safe for human body, but it is more preferable to use less irritating to the skin. Specifically, fluorine-based treatment agents including fluorinated resins, silicone-based treatment agents including silicone resins, paraffin-based treatment agents, wax-based treatment agents, and the like can be mentioned. Of these, it is preferable to use a fluorine-based treatment agent. As the fluorine-based treatment agent, a fluorinated resin emulsion, an aqueous fluorinated resin solution, or the like may be employed.

In addition, the moisture-proof and oil repellent agent can be used in various forms such as a liquid form and a powder form.

The method of treating with a moisture and oil repellent agent is not particularly limited, and the treating agent may be applied or injected by a suitable method such as spraying, rolling, brushing, or the like by application or injection. As the treatment conditions, for example, when a fluorine-based treatment agent is used as the moisture-proofing and oil-repelling agent, the treatment temperature is usually 20 ° C to 70 ° C, preferably 20 ° C to 40 ° C, And the treatment method, but it is usually from several seconds to several minutes. The amount of the moisture-proof and oil repellent agent to be used can be suitably determined by those skilled in the art.

In addition, it is preferable to suitably carry out the application of the moisture-proof and oil repellent agent or the drying after application. As a drying step, drying may be carried out usually at 100 ° C to 170 ° C for 10 seconds to 5 minutes. Preferably, two-stage drying is performed, drying is suitably performed at 100 ° C to 120 ° C for 10 seconds to 5 minutes, and further performed at 150 ° C to 170 ° C for 10 seconds to 5 minutes.

Further, a nose fitting fitter 13 is provided on the upper side of the mask body 11. As the nose fitting portion 13, a tape made of metal or polyethylene can be used.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be performed as various embodiments without departing from the gist of the present invention.

For example, in the above embodiment, the corrugated mask 10 is shown as an example, but the present invention can be applied to a mask in the form of a so-called "three-dimensional mask" as shown in Figs. 4A and 4B.

4A and 4B includes a mask body 41 formed by connecting a pair of fan-shaped sheet members 44A and 44B at the connecting portion 43 and the ear hangers 42, . The connecting portion 43 is formed as an outwardly curved portion, and the mask is configured to form a three-dimensional shape expanding outward by opening the sheet materials 44A and 44B to the right and left sides.

The inner surface 41A of the mask main body 41 is also subjected to the moisture proof and oil repellent treatment with the moistureproof and oil repellent treatment agent so that the foundation, lipstick, and the like are hardly adhered to the inner surface 41A, So that the mask can be used comfortably.

In addition, the mask according to the present invention can be applied not only to the three-dimensional mask but also to a planar gauze mask and the like. When the present invention is applied to a gauze mask, in addition to the above effects, it is possible to prevent a decrease in comfortable feeling when worn, because additional arrangements such as a sheet covering the mouth or the like are unnecessary.

Further, in the above embodiment, an embodiment in which the mask body 10 is formed of the four-layer sheet material 15 has been illustrated. However, the mask according to the present invention is not limited thereto, and the sheet member may have a multi-layer structure other than a four-layer structure, or may be a single-layer structure.

The mask of the present invention is suitable for use by a woman, but its use by a man is not prohibited. Children can also use it.

[Examples]

With regard to women subjects cremated with foundation, lipstick, and the like, the degree of transfer of cosmetics was compared and studied when they wear a mask according to the present invention and a conventional mask. Specifically, the four subjects (A, B, C, and D) who applied the face products containing the foundation and lipstick of the types shown in Table 1 were wearing the mask all day. As examples (those of the present invention) and the masks of the comparative examples, those having the same shape as the mask 10 (corrugated masks) of Fig. 1 were employed.

The mask main body 11 was formed by using a four-layer sheet material. The sheet material was one having layers in the order of polyester nonwoven fabric-polypropylene nonwoven fabric-polypropylene nonwoven fabric-polyester nonwoven fabric in order from the outside.

In Examples 1 and 2, a mask was used in which the inner surface 11A of the mask body 11 was fluorine-coated with a fluorinated resin emulsion. Specifically, as the sheet material for the innermost layer, a polyester nonwoven fabric having a width of 1 m and a length of 5 m was injected into a resin emulsion fluorinated for a few seconds at 25 캜, then dried at 110 캜 for 90 seconds, Lt; / RTI > for 30 seconds.

In Comparative Examples 1 and 2, a mask in which the inner surface 11A was not treated was used.

A corrugated mask was prepared in a conventional manner, except that the nonwoven fabric was used.

Also, in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, the mask was worn in a flat shape so that the wrinkles were not opened, and in Example 2 and Comparative Example 2, the mask was worn in a three-dimensional form so that wrinkles were opened.

After use, each subject was visually observed whether the cosmetic was attached to the inner surface of the mask. After using the mask, it was scored whether or not cosmetic correction was necessary. Scoring was performed in the following manner. The evaluation results are shown in Table 2.

(Evaluation after use)

Score 3: Cosmetics are not attached and cosmetic correction is completely unnecessary.

Score 2: Cosmetics are slightly attached, but cosmetic correction is unnecessary.
