An upper edge and opposite-side edges of a nose grip (12) are fixed to a main body (11) and a lower edge of the nose grip (12) is not fixed to form a free edge (13), the center of which being turned over to allow the inner side thereof to grip the nose, thereby covering the nose and the mouth with the main body (11). When the mask (10) is worn on the nose, a stretching force acts on the free edge (13) to allow the mask (10) to closely attach to the face and enhance a masking effect and to prevent the main body (10) from slipping downward and stabilize a mask position. In addition, provision of a breathing shutoff member (9) on the nose grip (12) prevents upward breath leakage from the nose grip (12) to prevent spectacles (14) from clouding.

Description

Satsuki Itoda β mask [Technical field]

The present invention relates to a mask that can be hung on the nose. [Background technology]

If you have a cold or have hay fever, you should usually wear a mask to prevent cold outside air or pollen mixed with outside bacteria and air from entering the body. The mask generally comprises a body made of a flexible material such as a square planar gauze and ear straps attached to both sides of the body. In addition to gauze, the main body of the mask is made of resin nonwoven fabric for disposable masks for surgery and various operations. When the main body covers the nose and mouth and hangs the ear straps on both ears, the main body is pulled left and right by the pulling force of the ear straps, and the main body is deformed into a shape along the outer surface of the face The nose and mouth are covered by the body.

If a traditional mask is used to cover the nose and the 頰 following it, there will be a gap between the upper edge of the body and the nose. Further, a gap is also formed between both side edges of the main body and 頰. For this reason, the drawback that the outside air which does not pass through the main body through the gap between the main body and the nose に入り enters the nostrils and the effect of the mask for preventing the invasion of pollen and cold virus, etc. is not sufficiently obtained. was there.

Furthermore, in order to improve the performance as a mask, a filler made of a slightly rigid material may be inserted into the main body, in which case there is a gap between the outer edge of the main body and the nose. There was also a drawback that the air was generated and the outside air that did not pass through the main body through the gap entered the nostrils, and the effect as a mask could not be sufficiently obtained.

The conventional mask had the drawback that, when talking with the mask on, the main body was shifted downward. When working or operating in a food factory or a place with a lot of dust, both hands are blocked, and there is a problem that the displacement of the body cannot be corrected. W

U

In order to correct this defect, insert a deformable member such as a wire near the upper edge or on both side edges of the main body, deform the wire by hand to match the outer shape of the nose, and There is provided an apparatus in which the edge is closely attached to the outer shape of the nose so that no gap is generated between the outer edge of the main body and the nose, and the main body does not slip down. However, when a wire or the like is placed inside the main body, it takes a long time to perform shaping by hand, and furthermore, there is a drawback that it is difficult to store it in a bag or the like when it is not used later. In areas where discarding of trash is strict when discarding masks, non-burnable wires must be separated from the main body, which is troublesome when discarding masks.

When a person wearing glasses wears a mask, it is common to first remove the glasses, then put on the mask, and then put on the glasses. That is, the mask is located inside and the glasses are located outside, and the upper edge of the mask is located higher than the frame of the lower edge of the glasses. With conventional masks, even if the upper edge of the mask is held down by the frame at the lower edge of the glasses, there is a gap between the mask and the nose. If the work is performed, the breath may leak upward from the space between the upper edge of the mask and the nose 、, and the inside of the glasses lens may become cloudy, which hinders surgery and various operations was there.

Traditionally, the mask has a body that covers both the nose and mouth. For this reason, there was a drawback that they could not talk and eat and drink freely. Also, in the case of women, there was a disadvantage that lipstick adhered to the mask. Furthermore, since the mask does not directly contact the nostrils to close the nostrils, it is impossible to prevent pollen and cold virus from entering the nose more reliably.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and significantly reduces the gap between the main body and the nose to enhance the effect with the outside air as compared with the related art, thereby preventing the main body from slipping. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mask as described above.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a mask which directly covers the nostrils but does not cover the mouth, thereby enhancing the effect with the outside air, and furthermore, it is possible to eat, drink and talk. ^

is there.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a mask that prevents the inside of the lens of the spectacle from being fogged by the user's breath for a person using the spectacle.

[First best mode for carrying out the invention]

Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a rear view of a mask according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the mask of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. The mask 10 according to the present invention comprises a main body 11 and W 1-

0 Nose body 1 1 Nose hook 1 2 with upper edge (or its vicinity) and both side edges (or its vicinity) connected or fixed to the back side of 1 1

(FIG. 3) and ear straps 14 attached to both sides of the main body 11. The length of the nose hook 12 in the vertical direction is set shorter than the length of the main body 11 in the vertical direction. Both the main body 11 and the nose hook 12 are made of a heat-weldable material such as a resin nonwoven fabric.

As a method of manufacturing the mask 10 according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, one (or a plurality of) mask materials 15 for forming the main body 11 and the nose hook 12 are prepared. Prepare and wrap the mask material 15 with the ventilation blocking member 13 and fold it into two (bending position P). One side edge of the ventilation blocking member 13 is made to match the bending position P of the mask material 15. Thereafter, the mask material 15 is bent to one side at a position near the other lateral edge of the ventilation blocking member 13 (bending position Q).

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, a side contact member 16 that can be thermally welded from both the front surface to the back surface is attached to both side edges of the mask material 15 including the ventilation blocking member 13 and bent as shown in FIG. Then, the mask material 15 and the horizontal contact member 16 are thermally welded. At the time of this welding, by positioning both ends of the ear hook string 14 at the welding point, a mask 10 in which the mask material 15, the side support member 16 and the ear hook string 14 are integrally fixed (see FIG. 1) is formed. In the mask 10 shown in FIG. 1, a nose hook 12 is present on the back side of the main body 11, and the upper edge of the nose hook 12 is connected (bent) to the upper edge of the main body 11. Both side edges of the nose hook 12 are welded and fixed to both side edges of the main body 11, and a ventilation blocking member 13 is provided inside the nose hook 12. In this state, the lower edge of the nose hook 12 is a free edge 17 that is not fixed to the main body 11.

Next, when using the mask of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the center of the free edge 17 which is the lower edge of the nose hook 12 is turned over, and the inside of the turned nose hook 12 is turned over. Hang it on the nose (tip of the back of the nose and the nasal wings on both sides) as shown in Figure 5. As shown in Fig. 4, when the center of the free edge 17 of the nose hook 1 2 is lifted, the nose hook 1 2 becomes a three-dimensional mountain shape from the center to both sides, and the nose hook 1 2 It will be in a state where it will just be applied.

Both ends of the free edge 1 7 of the nose hook 1 2 are fixed to the main body 11 by heat welding. g

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, when the mask 10 of the present invention is hung on the nose as shown in FIG. 5, the free edge 17 of the nose hook 12 is pulled toward both sides thereof, so that the nose hook is pulled. The shape of the part 12 matches the outer shape of the nose. Therefore, the gap between the nose and the main body 11 is very small in the present invention as compared with the conventional flat mask, and the air between the nose and the main body 11 is not passed through the mask. The amount of traffic is reduced, and the effect as a mask can be enhanced.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, since both side edges of the nose hook 12 are fixed to the main body 11 by heat welding, lift the center of the free edge 17 of the nose hook 12 Then, the planar main body 11 is curved in an arc shape. As a result, both longitudinal edges of the main body 11 (the positions of the horizontal contact members 16) are deformed so as to be closer to the face of the face than in a conventional planar main body. As a result, the gap between 頰 and the main body 11 becomes very small, and the amount of air that does not pass through the mask between 頰 and the main body 11 without passing through the mask is reduced. Can be enhanced.

In addition, the nose hook 1 2 is hooked on the dorsum of the nose and the nose wings on both sides thereof, and the free edge 17 of the nose hook 1 2 is subjected to a pulling force, so that the nose hook 1 2 is hooked on the nose. . As a result, even if the user talks with the mask 10 on, the main body 10 does not shift downward, and the vertical position of the mask is stabilized.

Further, since the ventilation blocking member 13 is provided inside the nose bridge 12, the ventilation blocking member 13 prevents the breath from leaking upward from the nose bridge 12. Therefore, when the person wearing the glasses 18 uses the mask 10 of the present invention, the conventional drawback that the inside of the lenses of the glasses 18 is fogged by the moisture contained in the breath can be prevented. In addition, if the ventilation blocking member 13 has a certain rigidity, the shape of the nose hook portion 12 can be prevented, and the mask can be tightly adhered to the nose.

In addition, for people who frequently wear and remove masks, conventional masks do not have a clear distinction between the front and back, so there is a risk that the front and back of the mask may be turned over and the surface on which pollen or the like adheres may be applied to the face. However, in the mask 10 of the present invention, since the surface of the main body 11 where the nose hook portion 12 is located is always in contact with the face, there is no possibility that the surface on which pollen or the like is adhered will hit the face. In addition, by applying coloring or printing such as characters or patterns to the main body 11 or the nose hook 12, fashionability and economy as a mask can be improved.

[Second best mode for carrying out the invention]

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described.

6 is a rear view of a mask according to another embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the mask of FIG. 6, and FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of a nose hook used in FIG. The mask 20 according to the present invention utilizes a conventionally known mask. The nose hook portion 23 is fixed to a main body 22 (conventionally known mask) provided with an ear hanging string 21 by sewing or the like. Consisting of The conventionally known mask body 22 uses a flexible material such as gauze, for example, and has a square planar shape when viewed from the front or the back. Inside the main body 2 2, the ear-hook string 21 is passed near the both side edges, and a sewing thread near the both-side edge of the main body 2 2 is used so that the ear hanger string 2 1 does not move to the center side. Sewn with 2 4 (shown by dotted lines). The nose hook 23 is made of a flexible material such as gauze, and has a horizontal length equal to the horizontal length of the main body 22, but a vertical length of the main body 22. It is shorter than the vertical length. A ventilation blocking member 13 is provided inside the nose pad 23 (FIG. 8).

To make the mask 20 according to this embodiment, the vicinity of the upper edge of the nose hook 23 is sewn to the vicinity of the upper edge of the main body 22 with a sewing thread 25 (shown by a dotted line). Sew the area around the side edge of the main body 22 with sewing thread 26 (shown by dotted lines). As a result, the nose hook 23 is present on the back side of the main body 22, and the upper edge and the side edge of the nose hook 23 are fixed to the upper edge and the side edge of the main body 22, and the nose hook is provided. A mask 20 provided with a ventilation blocking member 13 inside 23 is completed. In this state, the lower edge of the nose hook 23 is a free edge 27 that is not fixed to the main body 22.

Since the mask 20 has the same configuration as the above-described mask 10, it has the same effect as the above-described mask 10.

The main body 11 and the nose hook 12 of the mask 10 are made of a heat-weldable material such as a resin nonwoven fabric, and the main body 22 and the nose hook 23 of the mask 20 are made of a material such as gauze. However, the materials for the main body and the nose hook are not limited to these.

In addition, the main body 11, 22 and the nose hooks 12, 23 may be made of one kind of material, but in the main body 11, 22, the nose hooks 12, 23, The material that contacts the face and the material that does not contact the face may be different materials.

In the present invention, it has been described that the nose hooks 12 and 23 are provided with the ventilation blocking member 13. However, the nose hooks 12 and 23 themselves are configured by the ventilation blocking members. It means the same contents.

[Third best mode for carrying out the invention]

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described.

9 is a rear view of a mask according to another embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 10 is an exploded perspective view of the mask of FIG. 9, and FIG. 11 is a sectional view of a main body used for the mask of FIG. The mask 30 according to this embodiment directly blocks the nostrils and does not block the mouth. The mask 30 according to this embodiment includes a nose closing portion 31 for closing the nose, and a nose hook portion 3 connected or fixed to the front side of the nose closing portion 3 1 with a lower edge in the horizontal direction and both side edges in the vertical direction. 2, a ventilation blocking member 33 (FIG. 11 to FIG. 13) included in the nose hook 32, and an ear hook string 34 attached to both sides of the nose hook 32. It is desirable that the lateral length of the nose blocking portion 31 and the lateral length of the nose hook portion 32 be substantially the same. In FIG. 9, the length of the nose bridge 32 in the vertical direction is longer than the length of the nose blocker 31 in the vertical direction, but their relative length in the vertical direction is not particularly limited. Both the nose blocking portion 31 and the nose hook portion 32 are made of a heat-weldable material such as a resin nonwoven fabric.

As shown in FIG. 10, the nasal obstruction 31 is preferably composed of an inner first nasal obstruction 31a having an intermediate space 35 and an outer second nasal obstruction 31b. As a method of making the nose blocker 3 1 and the nose hook 3 2 integrally, as shown in Fig. 1'1, a vertically long heat-sealable inner member 36 and a vertically long heat-sealable A simple outer member 37 and a relatively short vertical air-blocking member 33 are prepared, and the inner member 36, the outer member 37, and the upper-end portion of the air-blocking member 33 are almost aligned with each other. As shown in Fig. 2, they are welded by heating (welding point R). Then, with the lower end of the inner member 36 The lower end of the outer member 37 is bent inward, and the distal end of the bent inner member 36 and the distal end of the outer member 37 overlap with the lower side of the ventilation blocking member 33. At the overlap position, all of the overlapped members are welded (weld point S). Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 13, the inner member 36 is bent around the welded portion S in a direction in which the inner member 36 approaches. In the folded state shown in FIG. 13, the portion containing the ventilation blocking member 33 becomes the nose hook portion 32, and the first nose blocking portion 31a having the space 35 therebetween and the second nose blocking portion. The part consisting of the part 3 1b becomes the nasal obstruction part 31.

Next, as shown in Fig. 10, a side contact that can be thermally welded from both sides to the side edges of the nose hook part 3 2 and the nose closing part 31 in the state shown in Fig. 13 is bent. The member 38 is applied, and the nose hook portion 32 and the nose blocking portion 31 in a folded state and the side contact member 38 are heat-welded. At the time of this welding, by positioning both ends of the ear hook string 34 at the welding position, the nose hook section 32 and the nose closing section 31, the side support member 38, and the ear hook string 34 are integrated. And a mask 30 shown in FIG. 9 is formed. In the mask 30 shown in FIG. 9, a nose hook 32 is present on the front side of the nose plug 31, and the lower edge of the nose hook 32 is the lower edge of the nose plug 31 and the heat-welded portion S. Both sides of the nose bridge 3 2 are fixed by heat welding to both sides of the nose blocker 3 1, and a ventilation blocking member 3 3 is provided inside the nose bridge 3 2 . The upper edge of the nose blocking portion 3 1 is a free edge 39 that is not fixed to the nose hook portion 32.

Next, when the mask 30 of this embodiment is used, as shown in FIG. 14, the filter 40 is first stored in the space 35 of the nasal obstruction 31 as needed. Next, turn the center in the horizontal direction of the free edge 39, which is the lower edge of the nose blockage 31, and apply the back side of the nose blockage 31 to the nostril 41 as shown in Fig. 15 At the same time, hook the nose hook 3 2 on the nose (the tip of the back of the nose and the nose wings on both sides), and hook the ear hook cord 3 4 on the ear. At this time, the length of the nasal obstruction portion 31 in the vertical direction is a length that covers the nostril 41.

As shown in Fig. 15, when the mask 30 is applied, the nose hook 3 2 has a three-dimensional mountain shape from the center to both sides, and the nose hook 3 2 uses the ear hook cord 34. Due to being pulled, the nose hook 32 has a shape conforming to the shape of the back of the nose and the wing of the nose, and the gap between the nose hook 32 and the nose is very small as compared with the conventional one. As a result, the nose The amount of air that does not pass through the space between the nose-blocking part 31 and the nose-blocking part 31 is reduced, and the effect as a mask for removing dust and the like can be enhanced.

Further, in the mask of the present invention, the shape of the nose hook 32 conforms to the outer shape of the nose back and the nose wing, so that the mask 30 does not shift downward, and the vertical position of the mask is stabilized. . Further, if the nose hook 32 is made of a material having a certain degree of rigidity, the nose hook 32 can be prevented from being deformed and the mask can be tightly adhered to the nose.

In addition, the nostril 4 1 is covered by a nasal obstruction 3 1, and the free edge 3 9 of the nasal obstruction 3 1 is pulled at a fixed place with the nostril 3 2. The nostrils 41 can be reliably covered. Therefore, when breathing through the nose, air can be reliably inhaled into the nose through the mask, so that the effect as a mask can be enhanced. Since the ventilation blocker 33 is provided inside the nose block 32, when the mask 30 shown in FIG. 15 is hung, the mask 3 is moved from the nose block 3 2 by the ventilation blocker 33. There is almost no leak above zero. Therefore, with the mask 30 of the present invention, when wearing the glasses 18 (FIG. 15), the conventional disadvantage that the inside of the lenses of the glasses 18 is clouded by moisture contained in the breath can be prevented. .

There is a space 3 5 in the nostril block 3 1 for filling the filter 40, so that the filter 40 can be placed in the opening of the nostril 41, so that the effect as a mask can be further enhanced. .

Also, in the present invention, the nasal obstruction portion 31 does not catch on the mouth. For this reason, even if the mask is worn for a long time, there is no annoyance or uncomfortable feeling, and the woman can freely eat, drink, and talk without lipstick. In addition, it is very convenient for those who only want to cover their nose with a mask. Further, if the nose pad 32 is colored or printed with characters, patterns, or the like, the fashionability and economical efficiency of the mask can be improved.

Part 65, the nose-back contact part 66 connected to the pinched part 65 for contacting the nose back, and bent upward from the lower edge of the nose-back contact part 66 Nose blocker 6 7 Both lateral edges of the nose-back contact portion 66 and the nose blocking portion 67 are fixed with sewing thread 70, etc., and a bag having an upper opening between the nose-back contact portion 66 and the nose blocking portion 67. A space 68 is formed. This space 68 is for the nose there. The nose blocking part 67 includes a first nose blocking part 67a closer to the nose hook member 61 and a second nose blocking part 67b farther from the nose holding member 61. A space 69 is formed between the lip portion 67a and the second nose blocking portion 67b to receive the fill 40. When the filter 40 is not inserted, the nose blocking portion 67 may be formed of one member that does not form the space 69.

Here, a case where the mask of the present invention is used will be described. First, Fig. 19 and As shown in FIG. 20, a filter 40 is inserted into the space 69 of the nasal obstruction part 67. Next, the pinched portion 65 of the nose pad member 63 is inserted into the space 64 between the front side nose pad member 61a and the back side nose pad member 61b. 3 sandwich. By sandwiching the pinched portion 65 of the nose pad member 63 between the front nose pad member 61a and the back nose pad member 61b, external force is applied between the nose pad member 63 and the nose pad member 61. It won't come off unless you do it.

After the nose pad 6 3 is attached to the nose pad 6 1, as shown in FIG. 19, the center of the upper edge of the nose blockage 6 7 is turned to widen the bag-shaped space 68, Put your nose in space 6-8. After that, when the ear hook string 62 is put on the ear, the mask is put on. The nose blocking part 67 and the nose-back contact part 66 are sewn together with sewing thread 70 around both edges (fixed by other means), so the nose is inserted into the space 68 and the space 68 is expanded. When this occurs, a force acts in a direction in which the inner surface of the nasal obstruction portion 67 and the inner surface of the nasal back contact portion 66 approach each other. Accordingly, the inner surface of the nasal obstruction portion 67 closely adheres to the periphery of the nostril 41, and the inner surface of the nasal back contact portion 66 closely adheres to the nasal back. When the mask shown in Fig. 21 is applied, the nose-back contact portion 66 of the nose pad 63, which is placed over the nose, is pulled by the ear strap 60, so It is pressed so that it does not move in close contact. Since the nose holding member 61 is pressed against the nose so as not to move, the nose blocking portion 67 does not move, and the periphery of the nostril 41 can be reliably closed. That is, since the nose pad member 63 comes into close contact with the back of the nose or the like, it is possible to prevent dust or pollen contained in air reaching the nostrils 41 from entering. As can be seen from FIG. 21, the length of the nose blocking part 67 is set so that the nose blocking part 67 does not touch the mouth.

When the mask shown in FIG. 21 is applied, the nose hook member 61 does not come into contact with the nose. For this reason, the nose hook member 61 is less likely to be stained by the nose, and the frequency of washing and replacement can be reduced. Conventionally, when the mask becomes dirty, the entire mask is washed, but when the entire mask is washed, there is a drawback that the ear string 62 is extended. However, in this embodiment, the frequency of washing the nose hook member 61 to which the ear hook string 62 is attached can be reduced, and the drawback that the ear hook string 62 extends can be eliminated. _Λ .

14 In this embodiment, since the nostril member 61 does not contact the nostril 41, it has nothing to do with air permeability. For this reason, a material that can be colored or printed such as characters and patterns can be used. If coloring or printing is applied to the nose pad 61, the fashionability as a mask can be enhanced, and commercials can be added.

On the other hand, the nose blocking portion 6 7 of the nose pad 6 3 covering the nostrils 4 1 is easily soiled, but the nose pad 6 3 is detachable from the nose pad 6 1, so that the nose pad 6 1 It is only necessary to replace the nose pad 6 3 without replacing the nose pad. When the nose pad 63 is made of a cloth such as gauze, it may be washed and reused. In addition, the nose pad 63 may be formed of a disposable inexpensive material such as a resin nonwoven fabric or paper, and may be disposable.

In this embodiment, the mask covers the nose but does not catch on the mouth. For this reason, even if the mask is worn for a long time, there is no annoyance or discomfort, and the woman can freely eat, drink and talk without sticking lipstick. That is, it is very convenient for those who want to cover only the nose with a mask.

Further, in the mask of this embodiment, the nose pad 61 is made of a material that blocks air permeability, so that when the mask 60 is put on and the glasses are put on, Almost no air leaks upward. Therefore, in the mask 60 of the present invention, the conventional defect that the inside of the lens of the glasses is fogged by the moisture contained in the breath can be prevented.
