A body hole 112 may be formed inside the mask body 110 . The body hole 112 may be formed in the central portion of the mask body 110 , and may be formed to have a predetermined width as shown in FIG. 4 .

The body hole 112 is illustrated as having a rectangular shape in the present embodiment, but the shape of the body hole 112 may have various shapes as needed.

The band 120 is provided to be hung on the wearer's ear so that the wearer can wear the mask body 110 . Accordingly, the band 120 may be provided at both ends of the mask body 110 , respectively. The band 120 has a substantially ring shape, and a rubber band having an elastic force may be used.

In addition, a configuration capable of adjusting the length of the band 120 may be included as needed, and the band 120 may be subjected to various modifications.

The mask cover 130 is provided to cover the body hole 112 formed in the mask body 110 . The mask cover 130 may be made of the same material as the mask body 110 or a material with good ventilation, and may completely cover the body hole 112 . Therefore, when the wearer wearing the antibacterial and sterilizing mask 100 breathes, the wearer can inhale the air passing through the mask body 110 and the mask cover 130 .

The antibacterial filter 140 is provided to cover the body hole 112 formed in the mask body 110, and the antibacterial and sterilizing mask removes air while exhaling when the wearer wearing the antibacterial and sterilizing mask 100 breathes. (100) is provided to discharge to the outside.

The antibacterial filter 140 serves to sterilize various bacteria or viruses contained in the air. In addition, in the antibacterial filter 140 , air may flow relatively smoothly compared to the plurality of layers constituting the mask body 110 . For example, the antibacterial filter 140 may be composed of a mesh (mesh) consisting of a single or a plurality of layers. A relatively large air flow hole may be formed in the antibacterial filter 140 as compared to a minute air flow hole formed in the mask body 110 to allow air to flow.

A filter hole 142 may be formed in the antibacterial filter 140 . The filter hole 142 may have the same size as the body hole 112 formed in the mask body 110 . However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the size of the filter hole 142 may be different from the size of the body hole 112 if necessary. For example, the size of the filter hole 142 may be larger than the size of the body hole 112 .

When the size of the filter hole 142 is larger than the size of the body hole 112 , the antibacterial filter 140 does not cover the body hole 112 at all, and the antibacterial filter 140 is disposed on the mask body 110 . , the mask body 110 may be disposed inside the filter hole 142 of the antibacterial filter 140 .

Here, if necessary, the filter hole 142 may not be formed in the antibacterial filter 140 .

The antibacterial filter 140 may be disposed between the mask body 110 and the mask cover 130 . That is, the antibacterial filter 140 is disposed on the mask body 110 , and the mask cover 130 is disposed on the antibacterial filter 140 so as to completely cover the antibacterial filter 140 .

As described above, as the mask body 110, the antibacterial filter 140, and the mask cover 130 are sequentially disposed, the mask body 110, the antibacterial filter 140, and the mask cover 130 overlap each other. Air may not easily pass through the main body 110 , the antibacterial filter 140 , and the mask cover 130 . That is, when the wearer breathes while wearing the antibacterial and sterilization mask 100 , air may not flow through the overlapping portion of the mask body 110 , the antibacterial filter 140 , and the mask cover 130 . .

While the wearer breathes while wearing the antibacterial and antibacterial mask 100 according to the present embodiment, air may flow from the antibacterial filter 140 in a direction parallel to the surface of the antibacterial filter 140 .

The coupling part 150 is provided to couple at least one of the mask cover 130 and the antibacterial filter 140 to the mask body 110 . As shown in FIG. 5 , the coupling part 150 may couple the mask body 110 and the mask cover 130 , and also the mask body 110 , the antibacterial filter 140 and the mask cover 130 . ) can be combined.

The coupling part 150 may be sewn using an elastic thread, or may be partially formed by using a method such as thermocompression if necessary. In this embodiment, description will be given of the use of elastic yarns.

The mask cover 130 is coupled to the mask body 110 by the elastic coupling part 150, so that the distance between the mask cover 130 and the mask body 110 may vary according to the breathing of the wearer.

Referring to FIG. 5 , when the wearer breathes, air may flow through the plurality of cover holes 132 formed in the mask cover 130 . At this time, air may flow in a direction parallel to the surface of the antibacterial filter 140 disposed between the mask body 110 and the mask cover 130 .

When the wearer breathes, a portion may pass through the mask body 110 and the mask cover 130 to go out. However, compared to the air discharged through the mask body 110 and the mask cover 130 , the degree of discharge to the outside through the antibacterial filter 140 may be greater.

Accordingly, air in a direction parallel to the surface of the antibacterial filter 140 may be discharged to the outside of the antibacterial and sterilizing mask 100 through the cover hole 132 through the antibacterial filter 140 . Here, since the wearer's exhalation of the antibacterial filter 140 has a relatively smoother air flow than the mask body 110 and the mask cover 130 , the antibacterial filter 140 rather than the mask body 110 or the mask cover 130 . ) through the side of the air can be discharged to the outside.

As shown in FIG. 5 , the antibacterial filter 140 serves as a tunnel for air to be introduced into the mask or discharged to the outside of the mask. That is, since air flows into the antibacterial filter 140 through all sides of the antibacterial filter 140 and then passes a long distance along the width of the antibacterial filter 140, it flows out of the mask or flows into the inside of the mask. The effect of filtering the bacteria by the antibacterial filter 140 tightly woven with a fiber material with strong adsorption power is great.

And as shown in FIG. 6 , since air is discharged in a direction parallel to the surface of the antibacterial filter 140 , the air passes through the antibacterial filter 140 in the form of a mesh several times, and accordingly, the coronavirus contained in the air or bacteria can be filtered out.

As described above, as the wearer's exhalation is discharged to the outside through the antibacterial filter 140, the wearer's exhalation does not remain in the mask body 110 while the wearer wears the antibacterial and sterilizing mask 100, and all of them are discharged to the outside. can be Therefore, carbon dioxide may not remain in the antibacterial and sterilizing mask 100 .

In addition, when the wearer breathes in when breathing, the mask cover 130 may be completely in close contact with the mask body 110 by the wearer's inhalation together with the elasticity of the coupling part 150 . Therefore, when the wearer breathes in, the air may be introduced into the antibacterial and sterilizing mask 100 through the mask cover 130 and the mask body 110 as shown.

And even if the wearer's breathing and the elasticity of the coupling part 150, even if the mask cover 130 is not completely in close contact with the mask body 110, the external air of the antibacterial and sterilizing mask 100 is antibacterial through the antibacterial filter 140 and may be introduced into the sterilization mask 100 .

Even if the external air flows into the antibacterial and sterilizing mask 100 through the antibacterial filter 140 in this way, bacteria or viruses contained in the air may be filtered and introduced by the antibacterial filter 140 . And as bacteria and viruses are filtered through the antibacterial filter 140 , it may be more effective than the air introduced through the mask body 110 and the mask cover 130 .

In addition, the air flowing into the antibacterial and sterilizing mask 100 through the antibacterial filter 140, compared to the air passing through the mask body 110 and the mask cover 130, passes through a relatively long path for antibacterial and sterilization. It may be introduced into the mask 100 .

And although not shown separately, a nose pad may be disposed on the inside of the antibacterial and sterilizing mask 100 if necessary. The nose ring disposed inside the antibacterial and sterilizing mask 100 serves to assist the wearer to wear the antibacterial and sterilizing mask 100 stably, and also, the antibacterial and sterilizing mask 100 It is attached to the wearer's nose and serves to prevent dripping.

At this time, the nose ring disposed inside the antibacterial and sterilizing mask 100 may be connected to the antibacterial and sterilizing mask 100 by an elastic rubber band. As the nose ring is connected to the antibacterial and sterilizing mask 100 with a rubber band, the antibacterial and sterilizing mask 100 is mounted on the wearer's face in a state where the nose ring is fixed to the wearer's nose, so that the antibacterial and sterilizing mask 100 is more comfortable. can be worn

In addition, the cover 130 may be replaced with the antibacterial filter 140 function and directly attached to the mask body 110 , and may serve as the antibacterial filter 140 during exhalation and inhalation of the mask wearer.
