Description

Removable mask

The present invention relates to a mask worn to protect the wearer's respiratory system from external harmful substances such as yellow dust, fine dust, viruses, etc.

In general, masks are worn on the face to protect the respiratory system, and are made of cotton or non-woven materials to allow breathing even when worn. The purpose of these masks is to prevent cold air from directly entering the respiratory tract during the winter, and to infect people around you through various harmful viruses contained in droplets when coughing or sneezing, or conversely, viruses released from people around you. For the purpose of blocking the inflow into the body, for the purpose of preventing secondary infection of medical staff in medical settings such as hospital emergency rooms, operating rooms, and intensive care units, for the purpose of blocking yellow dust or fine dust in various industrial sites or in the air, etc. It is used in various ways.

Recently, following Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Novel Influenza (H1N1), Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) is spreading around the world, and the importance of wearing a mask is being greatly emphasized. Such a conventional mask consists of a main body that covers the wearer's nose and mouth, and an earring band for wearing the mask on the ears.

However, since these conventional masks are maintained by earring bands, there is a problem in that pressure is placed on the ears and pain occurs when worn for a long time. Additionally, when wearing glasses, a hat, etc. or using earphones or headphones while wearing a mask, there was a problem of interference caused by the earring bands.

Due to this problem, a method of fixing both ends of the earring band with clips at the back of the wearer's head has been proposed, but this method has the disadvantage of leaving marks on the face because the body adheres excessively to the face area. In addition, there is a known mask that attaches directly to the face by attaching double-sided tape to the back of the body without an earring band, but in this case, the adhesive strength of the double-sided tape weakens once the mask is taken off, making it impossible to reuse.
