UNITED STATES PATENT OEEIGE ANTON WEIDMANN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN MASKS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 211,675, dated January 28, 1879; application filed October 2l, 1878.
. cation In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 Y represents a front view of my improved mask;
and Fig. 2is a detail view, showing amodified form of opening for the nose.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
The object of this invention is to furnish an improved `mask or false face, by which the free breathing through the' nostrils is permitted, and which is more comfortable in wear on account of its lightness and iiexibility. The mask may be furthermore manufactured and sold at a low price, and packed and shipped with great convenience.
The invention consists of a mask made of paper or other exible or yielding material, and printed in one or more colors, and shaded in such a manner that when worn and accolnmodated to the shape of the face it will have the appearance of the masks generally in use, it being furthermore cut with openings for the nose and for the eyes.
Themasks hitherto manufactured are formed so as to correspond to the general configuration of the face by being pressed into molds. They are then colored or finished in appropriate manner. The dies, presses, and materials employed in the manufacture of these masks are expensive.
- or of other suitable iiexible or yielding material, that isfpreferably backed for greater strength by a layer of muslin or other fabric.
The paper is cut in the proper shape and printed in colors of different shades, in such a manner, in imitation of a human or other face,
that the mask, when put on and accommodated to the shape of the face, will have nearly/ the same appearance as the molded masks atl present in use.
An opening, A, is cut out of the middle portion of the mask, and two smaller openings, one at each side of the central opening, are cut out, in addition, for the eyes. The central opening admits the protruding ofthe nose, and may be of triangular shape, as indicated by the letter B in Fig. 2, or of other shape, as desired.
The colors and shades in which the masks are printed have to be laid on with special reference to the plastic effect to be produced when the mask is worn. The masks thus made are light and exible, admit the free breathing through the nostrils, and are there'- fore more comfortable to the wearer, so as to provide for many purposes a cheaper and just as effective mask as the more expensive ones now in general use.
l am aware that masks are commonly made by children for their amusement, which masks are formed of flexible materia-l and provided with holes for the eyes, nose, and mouth, and I lay, therefore, no claim to the same.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to be protected in by Letters Patent, is y A mask made of a flat sheet of iiexible ma terial, properly shaded in imitation of a human or other face, and provided with acentral opening for the nose, and with side openings for the eyes, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
