Figure 2 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the mask 2 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the mask 2 includes a cover body 20 and an elastic support structure 22.

The cover body 20 is in a sheet shape, and defines a first shielding portion 20a and a second shielding portion 20b opposite to each other.

In this embodiment, the cover body 20 is a mask structure, which is formed by pressing multiple layers of sheets. It should be understood that there are many types of mask structures, and there are no special restrictions.

Furthermore, the cover 20 separates the first cover 20a and the second cover 20b based on its midline L (or the area where the bridge of the nose is covered), that is, the first cover 20a and the second cover 20b It is connected to the center line L so that the coverage area of the first shielding portion 20a and the coverage area of the second shielding portion 20b are approximately the same, as shown in FIG. 2A.

In addition, the cover body 20 can be formed with a plurality of folding portions 23 according to requirements. As shown in FIG. 2B, they are arranged perpendicular to the extension portion of the center line L, so that when the mask 2'is used, the folding portion 23 can be formed along the The extension direction of the midline L (as shown in the arrow direction Z in Figure 2B) is folded or unfolded accordingly (as shown in Figure 4).

The elastic support structure 22 is combined with the cover body 20 so that the elastic support structure 22 generates an elastic force F, so that the first shielding portion 20a of the cover body 20 is opposite to the end edge L1 of the center line L and the second The shielding portion 20b is close to the end edge L2 of the center line L.

In this embodiment, the elastic support structure 22 is embedded in the cover 20, and the elastic support structure 22 is an insulator or a metal body. The metal system includes gold (Au), cadmium (Cd), and silver ( Ag), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), aluminum (Al), tin (Sn), silicon (Si), gallium (Ga), indium (In), titanium (Ti), nickel (Ni), iron ( Fe), platinum (Pt), lead (Pb), niobium (Nb), uranium (U), manganese (Mn) or other suitable materials. Preferably, the metal body may be a memory metal material, such as a shape memory alloy material, which includes gold-cadmium alloy, silver-cadmium alloy, copper-zinc alloy, copper-zinc-aluminum alloy, copper-zinc-tin alloy, Copper-zinc-silicon alloy, copper-tin alloy, copper-zinc-gallium alloy, indium-titanium alloy, gold-copper-zinc alloy, nickel-aluminum alloy, iron-platinum alloy, titanium-nickel alloy, titanium-nickel- Lead alloy, titanium-niobium alloy, uranium-niobium alloy, iron-manganese-silicon alloy or other suitable materials. It should be understood that there are many types of the elastic support structure 22, which are not limited to the above.

Furthermore, the elastic support structure 22 is a strip-shaped body, such as a continuous stent as shown in Figure 2'or a plurality of separate stents as shown in Figure 2A' (for example, corresponding to the bridge of the nose and cheeks). For example, the elastic support structure 22 is arranged along the edge of the cover body 20, that is, the elastic support structure 22 is located on a part of the edge or all of the edge. Specifically, the elastic support structure 22 is symmetrically distributed on the first shielding portion 20a and the second shielding portion 20b, so that the elastic support structure 22 is generated at the first shielding portion 20a and the second shielding portion 20b Elastic force F of the same size. Therefore, the elastic support structure 22 can be a symmetrical distribution of local edges (such as a U-shaped, horseshoe-shaped, U-shaped or other suitable configuration as shown in Figure 2A' as shown in Figure 2A) or a symmetrical distribution of all edges (such as The ring shape shown in Figure 2A" or the shape of "日" shown in Figure 2B') is not particularly limited.

When using the shield 2, 2', as shown in Figure 3A, an external force R opposite to the elastic force F is provided to open the shield body 20 so that the end of the first shield 20a The edge L1 is separated from the end edge L2 of the second shielding portion 20b (the separation distance D shown in Figure 3B) for the user 4 to cover the target (such as the face shown in Figure 4, especially Is on the nose and mouth); wait for the mask to cover 2,2' After covering the target, the elastic force F of the elastic support structure 22 will drive the end edge L1 of the first shielding portion 20a and the end edge L2 of the second shielding portion 20b to approach each other, so that the elastic force F is opposite The target is used as a clamping force to clamp the mask 2, 2'on the target, as shown in Figure 4.

On the other hand, if the elastic support structure 32 includes a memory metal material, the user 4 can adjust the shape of the elastic support structure 22 according to the surface profile of the target (such as pressing, bending or other actions) to make the elastic support The shape of the structure 22 conforms to the surface contour of the target, so that the cover 20 can be effectively attached to the surface of the target. Therefore, when the mask 3 leaves the target, if the elastic support structure 32 includes a memory metal material, its shape can maintain the shape of the use state, as shown in FIG. 3C, to facilitate repeated use by the user 4.

To sum up, the mask 2, 2'of the present invention mainly uses the configuration of the elastic support structure 22 to make it serve as the skeleton of the mask 2, 2'and generate an elastic force F to provide a clip Therefore, compared with the prior art, when the mask 2, 2'of the present invention is applied to a human face, the user only needs to open the first mask 20a and the second mask 20b. Then the first masking portion 20a and the second masking portion 20b are clamped on the cheek, and the mask 2, 2'can be fixed on the human face. Therefore, the mask 2, 2'of the present invention does not need to be hooked with ears The strap is hung on the human ear, which is not only easy to wear, but also can be effectively clamped on the human face to avoid reducing the comfort and protection effect of the mask 2,2' due to the tightness of the ear strap.

Furthermore, if the elastic support structure 22 includes a memory metal material, the shape of the elastic support structure 22 can be adjusted according to the surface contour of the target, so that the cover 20 can be effectively attached to the surface of the target. In the conventional technology, when the mask 2, 2'of the present invention is applied to a human face, the user can adjust the shape of the elastic support structure 22 according to the contour of the human face, so that the cover 20 can effectively cover the human face. The protective effect of the shield 2, 2'is strengthened, and the shape of the elastic support structure 22 can maintain the shape of the use state, which can improve the convenience of use.
