The present invention relates to a sanitary mask that blocks fine dust or yellow dust, and in particular, a lineless mask fixed to the chin and nose without a line or strap for fixing the mask to the user's face. ) about the mask.

In general, a mask (MASK) is known as an object that covers the nose and mouth in order to prevent inhalation and scattering of germs, dust, etc. for health hygiene. Masks of various structures and shapes are used according to the purpose of use, and they can be largely classified into sanitary masks and dust-proof masks.

Sanitary masks are used to prevent saliva or other foreign substances coming out of the mouths of workers from splashing on others in group cafeterias, restaurants, places where various types of food are handled, hospitals, department stores, etc. as people's hygiene awareness increases. is being used for

In addition, the environmental atmosphere contains a large amount of foreign substances such as fine dust, and it is recommended to wear a dust mask when the concentration is high to prevent various respiratory diseases, asthma, headache, atopy, etc. caused by these fine dust and yellow dust.

Most of these sanitary masks or dust masks are made of transparent or translucent synthetic resin materials to prevent saliva or other foreign substances from the wearer's mouth from splashing, and include filters to prevent fine dust or bacteria from the outside. , viruses, etc. are configured to prevent the wearer from being smeared or inhaled.

Patent Document 1 (Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1627973) discloses a body 11 covering the user's face as shown in FIG. 1, a blocking film 14 that is attached to the front of the body 11 and has both left and right ends open, Disclosed is a multipurpose mask 10 having an outer filter 13 and an inner filter in order to remove yellow dust and fine dust, and consisting of a fixing strap 12 that fixes the main body 11 by hanging it on the user's ear.

However, in Patent Document 1 described above, since the mask body 11 includes a string 12 fixed to the ear or the back of the head, the length of the string 12 had to be adjusted according to the size of the wearer's face, so it was inconvenient to use, Shortly after wearing, there was a problem that the string 12 became loose and the blocking function of the mask deteriorated. In addition, the mask to which the string 12 is attached not only causes pain due to the string being pulled or tightened, but also does not adhere to the wearer's face easily even when the mask is worn, so that harmful external substances enter the human body through the nose or mouth. There was a high probability of influx.

In order to improve these problems, Patent Document 2 (Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1569139) discloses an adhesive dust-proof mask that adheres to the skin without a separate fixing means so that there is no discomfort during operation. Referring to FIG. 2, the adhesive dust mask 20 of Patent Document 2 is attached to the rim of the inner fabric of the body portion 21 so that it can be used in close contact with the skin without using a string as in Patent Document 1. (22) is used. The adhesive band 22 uses a form in which appropriate adhesiveness is further imparted to a general hydrogel form commonly used in wound dressings and medical bands so that it adheres to the skin and minimizes irritation even during continuous use.

However, when used for a long period of time, the adhesive force of the adhesive band of the adhesive dust mask of Patent Document 2 is not completely adhered to the face, and gaps are widened, so the function of the mask may be significantly reduced. In addition, the adhesive band 22 has a problem of causing skin trouble to some wearers even if the material is an eco-friendly material.

The lineless mask of the present invention includes a mask body 310, a nose rest holder 320, and a chin fixing part 330 extending from the mask body 310.

The mask body 310 forms the appearance of the lineless mask 300 according to this embodiment. The mask body 310 is formed of soft polyurethane or a material corresponding thereto that can be gently adhered to the face. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 , the mask body 310 has a structure that protrudes forward convexly. Therefore, it covers the area around the mouth or nose of the face.

A pair of the eyeglass nose rest mounting parts 320 are formed on the outer surface of the upper part of the mask body 310 in close contact with the nose. A nose bridge of a wearer who wears the mask 300 is seated on the eyeglass nose bridge mounting portion 320 . Each of the pair of eyeglass nose rings is seated on each of the pair of eyeglass nose rings seating portions 320 . Therefore, the part of the mask body 310 that is in close contact with the nose is naturally fixed to the nose by the wearer's glasses.

The spectacle nose bridge seating portion 320 is made of silicon material or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and has a predetermined anti-slip pattern formed on the surface thereof so that the nose bridge of the glasses does not slip when the nose bridge is seated. Here, the anti-slip pattern may have a dot pattern, a stripe pattern, a grid pattern, or a mixture thereof, and the stripes may have a straight line, a curved line, or a combination thereof. Since the size of the mask wearer's face and nose vary, it is preferable that the width of each nose ring holder 320 in the horizontal direction of the face is 1 cm and the length in the longitudinal direction of the face is at least 2 cm or more in an oval shape.

The chin fixing part 330 extends from the lower end of the mask body 310 and surrounds the chin of the wearer wearing the mask 300 and is fixed to the chin. The chin fixing part 330 may be formed integrally with the mask body 310 with soft polyurethane or a material corresponding thereto. As shown in FIG. 5 , the chin fixing part 330 extends from the lower end of the mask body 310 to form the mask body 310 and the concave portion 331 . The wearer's chin is inserted into the concave portion 331 and fixed to the wearer's chin. Preferably, the inner angle θ of the concave portion 331 is preferably 90 degrees or less in a state in which the wearer is not wearing the mask 300, that is, in a state in which the wearer's chin is not inserted into the concave portion 331. More preferably, it is 45 degrees or less. Therefore, when the wearer wears the mask 300 on the face, as shown in FIG. 4, the chin fixing part 330 is widened, and the concave part 331 wraps the wearer's chin and puts a moderate pressure on the chin. It can be fixed without being pushed up onto the face.

The mask body 310 and the chin fixing part 330 may be integrally formed of soft polyurethane or a material corresponding thereto. Soft polyurethane or its corresponding material can be washed and used repeatedly, and it adheres well to the wearer's face without a fixing strap due to its unique elasticity, providing excellent fit and minimizing the gap between the mask body 310 and the face. can do. In another embodiment, the mask body 310 may be formed of flexible polyurethane or a material corresponding thereto, and the chin fixing part 330 may be formed of a stretchable silicone material. Alternatively, the mask body 310 and the chin fixing part 330 may be integrally formed of soft polyurethane or a material corresponding thereto, and a concave elastic silicone member may be attached to the inside of the chin fixing part 330. .

Move the chin fixing part 330 to the chin part. Therefore, the wearer's chin is inserted into the concave portion 331 formed in the chin fixing portion 330 . Then, the wearer lifts the mask body 310 in the nose direction to cover the nose, and then places the nose bridge 610 of the glasses 600 on the glasses nose bridge mounting portion 320 formed on the surface of the mask body 310 . When the mask 300 is worn in this way, pressure is applied in the A direction by the elastic force of the chin fixing part 330 so that the chin fixing part 330 is closely fixed to the wearer's chin, and the weight of the glasses 600 The nose portion of the mask body 310 is deformed according to the shape of the wearer's nose by applying force in the B direction, and is fixed in close contact with the wearer's nose.

As described above, the wearer wearing the mask 300 according to the present embodiment wears the glasses 600 and uses the nose bridge 610 of the glasses 600 as a fixing means for the mask 300 . Even if the mask 300 is pressed with the nose ring 610 of the glasses 600, a gap may form between the mask 300 and the facial skin, and breath may leak through the gap, causing fogging of the glasses 600. . Therefore, a method for preventing such fogging is required, and an anti-fogging pad may be installed on a portion of the mask 300 according to the present embodiment that is in close contact with the nose.
