[1. Mask overview]
(1) The mask included in the present embodiment includes a face-shaped simulated member and a filter member detachably attached to the inside of the simulated member. The face shape simulating member is a member simulating the face shape on the outer surface side. Simulating the shape of the face may be simulating the shape of the face with a three-dimensional shape, or simulating the shape of the face with a two-dimensional drawing drawn on the surface. As a result, the discomfort caused by the mask hiding the facial expression can be suppressed, or an arbitrary facial expression can be created. Further, by attaching the filter member to the inside of the simulated member, the function as a sanitary mask can be maintained. Further, since the filter member is detachable inside the simulated member, the filter member can be easily replaced and hygiene can be maintained.

(2) Preferably, the simulated member has a three-dimensional shape of the face. As a result, the shape of the simulated member when the mask is worn becomes a three-dimensional shape similar to the shape of the user's face.

(3) Preferably, the three-dimensional shape of the face includes the shape of the nose. As a result, the simulated member can simulate the three-dimensional shape of the nose.

(4) Preferably, the three-dimensional shape of the face includes the shape of the mouth. As a result, the simulated member can simulate the three-dimensional shape of the mouth.

(5) Preferably, the three-dimensional shape of the face includes the shape of the cheeks. As a result, the simulated member can simulate the three-dimensional shape of the cheek.

(6) Preferably, the three-dimensional shape of the face includes the shape of the face that looks like a smile. As a result, the user wearing the mask looks as if he / she is smiling. Therefore, even when the mask is worn, it can be used in the place or give a mild and bright impression to the surroundings.

(7) Preferably, the filter member is made of a material softer than the simulated member. This material is, for example, a woven fabric such as gauze or a non-woven fabric. As a result, when the mask is worn by the user, the inner surface side in contact with the face has flexibility, and the wearing comfort can be improved.

(8) Preferably, the filter member is configured so that the degree of adhesion to the face is higher than that of the simulated member when worn. As a result, the filter function of the mask can be ensured.

(9) Preferably, the filter member is configured so that at least the peripheral edge of the range including the nose and mouth is in contact with the face when worn. As a result, exhaled air and inhaled air travel back and forth between the outside and the inside of the mask via the filter member. As a result, it is possible to enhance the filter function of exhalation and inspiration when the mask is worn. That is, the function as a sanitary mask is maintained.

(10) Preferably, the mask further includes a detachable member that detachably attaches the filter member to the inside of the simulated member, and the detachable member includes a pair of symmetrically arranged members. As a result, the filter member can be stably attached to the inner surface of the mask body.

(11) Preferably, the mask further includes a pair of ear hooks connected to the left and right of the simulated member. As a result, the user can wear the mask in the same manner as the spectacles, and the mask is easy to wear and fashionable.

(12) Preferably, the mask further comprises a pair of lenses adjacent to the top of the simulated member. As a result, the mask user can also use it as eyeglasses.

(13) Preferably, the mask further includes an attachment member for attaching the simulated member to the spectacles. As a result, the mask can be worn even when the glasses are worn. At that time, since the simulated member is attached to the glasses, the ear hooks do not overlap and are easy to wear.

[2. Mask example]

[First embodiment]

<Explanation of mask>
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the mask 100 includes a mask body 10 for covering the user's face F, and a pair of ear hooks 20 connected to both sides of the mask body 10. FIG. 1 shows a state in which a user wears the mask 100. In FIG. 1, the left-right direction is set to the X direction, the up-down direction is set to the Z direction, and the front and back of the paper surface are set to the Y direction. The X direction coincides with the left-right (horizontal) direction of the user wearing the mask 100, the Z direction coincides with the vertical (height) direction of the user, and the Y direction coincides with the front-back direction of the user. Further, when the user wears the mask 100, the surface on the face F side is the inner surface 12, and the opposite side is the outer surface 11.

In the first embodiment, the mask body 10 has a size that covers a range from a position slightly below the user's nose root NR to between the mandibular tip CHI and the lower lip LL (chin lip groove MS) in the Z direction. Is. In the X direction, it is a size that covers the range between the left and right cheek CHEs.

The mask body 10 is a face-shaped simulated member. The face shape simulation member is a member that simulates the shape of a human face and the shape of the part of the user's face F covered by the mask body 10 when it has a specific facial expression. In addition to the shape, the outer surface 11 of the mask body 10 may be provided with an image corresponding to the portion of the user's face F covered by the inner surface 12.

That is, the mask body 10 has a three-dimensional shape 43 of the nose at a position 41 corresponding to the user's nose N, a three-dimensional shape 46 of the cheek at a position 42 corresponding to the cheek CHE, and a position 44 corresponding to the mouth (lips) L. It has a three-dimensional shape 45 of the mouth (lips). Further, an image of the nose, an image of the cheeks, and an image of the lips may be printed at each of the

positions

41, 42, and 44 of the outer surface 11. The image may be color only. As a result, the shape of the mask body 10 when the mask 100 is attached becomes the same as the shape of the user's face F, so that the discomfort caused by the mask 100 hiding the facial expression can be suppressed, or an arbitrary facial expression can be suppressed. Can be made.

A specific facial expression is, for example, a smile. The shape of the user's face F when smiling includes a shape in which the cheek muscles (for example, the risorius muscle) are pulled up, and a shape in which the corners of both mouths are pulled up above the lower lip. In this case, the three-dimensional shape 46 of the cheek is convex forward, that is, in the negative direction in the Y direction. Further, the three-dimensional shape 45 of the lips is a three-dimensional shape in which the corner of the mouth is higher than that of the lower lip LL. As a result, the shape of the mask body 10 when the mask 100 is attached becomes the same as the shape of the user's face F when the mask is smiling, so that the appearance is as if the mask is smiling. Therefore, even when the mask 100 is worn, it can be adapted to the place and give a mild and bright impression to the surroundings.

The specific facial expression is not limited to a smile, but may be various, such as a serious face, an angry face, or a crying face. As described above, since the outer surface 11 side of the mask main body 10 has a three-dimensional shape of the face having a specific facial expression, the appearance of the user wearing the mask 100 is as if it were the specific facial expression. Therefore, an appropriate facial expression can be expressed on the spot even when the mask 100 is worn. Further, by using the masks 100 having different facial expressions depending on the mood or the scene, for example, different facial expressions can be easily expressed even if the mask 100 is worn.

The material of the mask body 10 is a material having excellent shape retention, for example, synthetic resin, urethane resin, silicone resin, metal, cardboard, and the like. The excellent shape retention means that, for example, in a state of being deformed by the action of stress, when the stress is released, the shape returns to the shape before deformation. As a result, even if the mask body 10 is deformed due to stress when it is stored, when it is released from the stress when it is taken out and attached, the shape of the user's face F before deformation is obtained. It returns to the same shape.

The ear hook portion 20 has the same shape as the so-called temple portion of the glasses. The ear hook portion 20 has an ear contact portion 22 at one end and a connecting portion 20A with the mask main body 10 at one end, and the mask main body extends from the mask main body 10 in the + Y direction in the XZ plane. It is attached to both sides of the 10. As a result, the user can wear the mask 100 in the same manner as the spectacles, and the mask 100 can be easily worn and fashionable.

As an example, the ear contact portion 22 is a so-called modern or tip cell having a shape that hangs from above the auricle AU, as shown in the figure. As another example, the ear contact portion 22 may have a portion having a frictional force such as rubber. As a result, the ear contact portion 22 comes into stable contact with the pinna AU.

The structure of the ear contact portion 22 is not limited to the shape shown in the figure. That is, the shape is not limited to the shape that hangs from above the auricle AU, and may be a shape that extends from the lower side to the rear of the auricle AU and hangs from the back to the front of the auricle AU.

The distance between the pair of ear hooks 20 is smaller than the width of the user's head. The user here refers to a person who is expected to use the mask 100. The width of the head of the user is an average value, a median value, or the like of the width of the head of a person who is expected to use the mask 100. The person who is expected to use the mask 100 is, for example, a person of a predetermined age group, a person of a specific gender, a person of a specific area, or the like. As a result, when the mask 100 is attached to the user, the binaural hooks 20 sandwich the user's face F from both the left and right sides in the X direction. As a result, the mask 100 is supported in the X direction with respect to the user's head.

The filter member 30 is arranged on the inner surface 12 side of the mask body 10, that is, inside. The filter member 30 is made of a material having higher flexibility than the material forming the mask body 10. In other words, the filter member 30 is made of a material having a higher degree of adhesion to the face than the mask body 10 when the mask 100 is attached. The material of the filter member 30 is, for example, a woven fabric such as gauze or a non-woven fabric. As a result, the filter function of exhalation and inspiration when the mask 100 is worn can be ensured, and the inner surface side in contact with the face F when the mask 100 is worn by the user has flexibility and the wearing comfort can be improved. it can.

The filter member 30 is detachably attached to the inner surface 12 of the mask body 10. As an example of a structure for detachably attaching the filter member 30 to the inner surface 12 of the mask body 10, the mask 100 further includes a detachable member 31. The attachment / detachment member 31 is, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener, an adhesive tape, a hook, a clip, or an engagement slit provided in a flexible elastic member for pressing and engaging the sheet-shaped filter member 30. As a result, the filter member 30 can be detachably attached to the inner surface 12 of the mask body 10. Since the filter member 30 can be attached to and detached from the inner surface 12 of the mask body 10, the filter member 30 can be easily replaced, and hygiene and aesthetics can be maintained.

The detachable member 31 partially attaches the filter member 30 and the mask body 10. That is, the filter member 30 is attached to the mask body 10 only in a partial attachment range, not on the entire surface. That is, the filter member 30 has a range (hereinafter, also referred to as a non-mounting range) that is not attached to the mask body 10. This eliminates the need to dispose of an excessively sized detachable member 31.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the detachable member 31 is a member provided at the end of the mask body 10 and extending in the Z direction. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 3, the detachable member 31 includes a pair of symmetrically arranged

members

31L, 31R. As an example, the

members

31L and 31R are provided at the left and right ends of the mask body 10 as shown in FIG. As another example, the mask main body 10 may be provided symmetrically in parallel with the upper side in the vicinity of the upper end. As a result, the filter member 30 can be stably attached to the inner surface 12 of the mask body 10.

The filter member 30 is provided with a contact member 32. The contact member 32 is an example of a structure for maintaining the contact of the filter member 30 with the face F. The contact member 32 is, for example, an adhesive member such as an adhesive tape or a gel. In this case, the contact member 32 is arranged on the face F side surface of the filter member 30, and the release paper is arranged on the contact member 32. Then, when the mask 100 is attached, the user peels the release paper from the contact member 32 and presses the mask body 10 against the face F.

In the state where the filter member 30 is attached to the mask body 10, the filter member 30 has a non-attachment range. The contact member 32 is arranged in the non-mounting range. In the non-mounting range, there is a gap between the filter member 30 and the mask body 10. Therefore, in the non-mounting range, the position of the filter member 30 with respect to the mask body 10 is not fixed. By arranging the contact member 32 in the non-attachment range, the contact state of the filter member 30 with the face F can be maintained in the non-attachment range, and the contact member 32 can be brought into close contact with the face F.

Since the mask body 10 has a three-dimensional shape of the face, there are many gaps with respect to the face F when worn. On the other hand, the filter member 30 can maintain the function of a normal sanitary mask by being brought into close contact with the face F by the contact member 32.

Since the mask 100 is supported by the pair of ear hooks 20 by sandwiching the user's head from both the left and right sides in the X direction, the mask 100 is supported by the face F of the mask body 10 in the vicinity of the chin lip groove MS. The degree of adhesion is reduced. However, since the contact member 32 is provided on the filter member 30, the filter member 30 can be brought into close contact with the face F when the mask 100 is attached.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the contact member 32 is arranged on the face F side surface of the filter member 30 and on the peripheral edge of the range covering the nose and mouth when the mask 100 is worn. The periphery of the area covering the nose and mouth refers to a continuous band of area surrounding both the nose and mouth. As a result, when the mask 100 is worn, the filter member 30 comes into close contact with the periphery of the user's nose and mouth. Therefore, exhalation and inspiration travel back and forth between the outside and the inside of the mask 100 via the filter member 30. As a result, it is possible to enhance the filter function of exhalation and inspiration when the mask 100 is worn. That is, the function as a sanitary mask is maintained.

The detachable member 31 is arranged on the outer peripheral side (the outer peripheral side in the left-right direction or the outer peripheral side in the vertical direction) of the circumferential contact member 32. As a result, the contact member 32 can bring the filter member 30 into contact with the peripheral edge of the range including the nose and the mouth between the pair of left and right detachable members 31.

[Second embodiment]

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in the mask 100 according to the second embodiment, the mask body 10 is placed in the Z direction from a position slightly below the nose root NR of the user via the mandibular tip CHI. It is a size that covers the range up to the vicinity of the midpoint CHI-1 between the tip of the mandible CHI and the throat. In this case as well, the mask body 10 has the three-dimensional shape 43 of the nose at the position 41 corresponding to the user's nose N, the three-dimensional shape 46 of the cheek at the position 42 corresponding to the cheek CHE, and the mouth (lips) L. It has a three-dimensional shape 45 of the mouth (lips) at the corresponding position 44. As a result, the shape of the mask body 10 when the mask 100 is attached becomes the same as the shape of the user's face F, so that the discomfort caused by the mask 100 hiding the facial expression can be suppressed.

In this case, the user adjusts the position corresponding to the lower jaw tip CHI of the mask body 10 to the lower jaw tip CHI, and then hangs the binaural hooks 20 on the auricle AU to wear the mask 100. As a result, the mask body 10 comes into contact with the user at the binaural hooks 20 and the mandibular tip CHI. Therefore, the mask 100 is easily fixed to the user's head.

In the mask 100 according to the second embodiment, the filter member 30 arranged on the inner surface 12 side of the mask main body 10 has a size that covers the mandibular tip CHI as shown in FIG. The filter member 30 is detachably attached to the inner surface 12 of the mask body 10 by the detachable member 31.

In the mask 100 according to the second embodiment, the contact between the mandibular tip CHI and the mask body 10 is used as another example of the mechanism for bringing the filter member 30 into contact with the face F. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, in the mask 100 according to the second embodiment, the mandibular tip CHI and the mask body 10 are brought into contact with each other with the filter member 30 sandwiched between them. As a result, the lower portion of the filter member 30 is sandwiched and fixed between the mandibular tip CHI and the mask body 10.

The contact member 32 is arranged on the peripheral edge of the range covering the nose and mouth when the mask 100 is worn, except for the portion sandwiched between the lower jaw tip CHI and the mask body 10. As a result, when the mask 100 is worn, the filter member 30 comes into close contact with the user's nose and mouth. Therefore, exhalation and inspiration travel back and forth between the outside and the inside of the mask 100 via the filter member 30. As a result, it is possible to enhance the filter function of exhalation and inspiration when the mask 100 is worn.

[Third embodiment]

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the mask 100 according to the third embodiment further includes a pair of left and right lenses G adjacent to the upper portion of the mask body 10. The pair of left and right lenses G are provided at positions corresponding to the left and right eyes of the user when the mask 100 is attached. As a result, the user of the mask 100 can use the mask 100 as a mask and also as eyeglasses.

The pair of left and right lenses G may be a lens for visual acuity correction according to the user, a lens having no visual acuity correction function, or a colored lens.

[Fourth embodiment]

As shown in FIG. 8, the mask 100 according to the fourth embodiment does not have the ear hook portion 20. The mask 100 according to the fourth embodiment has a mounting member 25. The attachment member 25 is a member for attaching the mask body 10 to the eyeglasses 200.

As an example, the attachment member 25 is a member that attaches the mask body 10 to the eyeglasses 200 by connecting to the ear hooks 20B of the eyeglasses 200 on the left and right sides of the upper part of the mask body 10, and has, for example, a hook shape. Then, the mask body 10 is locked to the ear hook portion 20B. As a result, the mask 100 can be worn even when the glasses 200 are worn. At that time, since the mask body 10 is attached to the eyeglasses 200, the ear hooks do not overlap and are easy to wear.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible.
