Description

The present invention relates to a mask, and more particularly to a mask capable of relieving suffocation when worn.

Generally, masks are used from the viewpoint of blocking dust and pollen and preventing colds and virus infections, and have been developed from various viewpoints such as functionality, convenience, and usability as well as hygiene.

In recent years, in order to reduce the suffocation when wearing a mask, a mask capable of forming a three-dimensional shape when wearing the mask has been widely used.

As a mask capable of forming such a three-dimensional shape, a type in which a cup-shaped space is formed when the mask main body folded in half by the vertical center line is opened, and a type in which a plurality of pleats are formed in the lateral direction of the mask main body and used. A pleated type that secures space by opening the pleated part is known.

Further, Patent Document 1 discloses a mask that secures a space and eliminates suffocation by interposing a shape holder in the mask.

Patent Document 2 includes a main body portion that covers the wearer's mouth and has an opening, and a patch member that can be attached to the main body portion so as to close the opening, and the patch member can be attached or removed. A mask that eliminates suffocation by doing so is disclosed.

It is widely practiced to wear masks as a measure against viral infections. However, wearing a mask, such as when walking, tends to make you suffocate. Furthermore, if you wear a mask while exercising, you may have difficulty breathing.

In the first place, the main purpose of wearing a mask as a countermeasure against infectious diseases is to prevent the wearer's own droplets, and unless it is a high-performance mask used by medical professionals, it is required to strictly prevent the invasion of droplets etc. Not done.

Therefore, the present invention facilitates the inflow of air into the mask when people tend to feel stuffy when walking, and on the other hand, when it is highly necessary to prevent splashing, such as when there are people around. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mask capable of restricting the inflow and outflow of air.

The configuration of the present invention that achieves the above object is as follows.

(1) The mask according to claim 1 is a mask composed of a main body portion that covers the wearer's mouth and ear hook portions attached to both side portions of the main body portion, and a pull string is provided in both side edges of the main body portion. , Both ends are attached to the main body.

(2) The mask according to claim 2 has a string stopper interposed in the drawstring in the device according to claim 1.

How the present invention configured as described above works to solve the problem will be outlined with reference to the drawings. In each figure, U means an upper direction, D means a lower direction, R means a right direction, and L means a left direction.

As shown in FIG. 1, the mask 10 according to the present invention is formed by attaching a drawstring 20 to both side edges 12 and 12 of the main body 11 with its upper end 21 fixed to the main body 11.

Because of this configuration, if the lower part of the main body 11 is pulled upward while pressing the pull string 20 by hand, the pulling string 20 is squeezed upward on both side edges 12 and 12. FIG. 2 shows such a squeezed state, in which the side edges 12 and 12 are in close contact with the mandibular edge portion extending from below the ear to the tip of the chin of the wearer A, and the inflow of air into the mask and the mask. It is possible to suppress the outflow of air to the outside.

On the other hand, when the pulling squeezing of the side edges 12 and 12 by the pull string 20 is loosened, the close contact of the side edges 12 and 12 to the lower jaw of the wearer A is released as shown in FIG. In addition, the inflow of air into the mask and the outflow of air to the outside of the mask become easy. In other words, the suffocation when wearing a mask is alleviated.

As described above, according to the present invention, when a person tends to feel suffocating when walking, loosening the drawstring 20 facilitates the inflow of air into the mask, and on the other hand, when there are people around, etc. When there is a high need to prevent splashing, it is possible to provide a mask capable of suppressing the inflow and outflow of air by squeezing the drawstring 20.

In the device according to claim 2, a string stopper 30 is interposed in the drawstring 20. With such a configuration, if the string stopper 30 is moved upward while the both side edges 12 and 12 are pulled as shown in FIG. 2, the both side edges 12 and 12 can be maintained in the pulled state. It will be possible.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the device will be outlined with reference to the drawings. The embodiments of the components of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments, and various embodiments may be adopted as long as they belong to the technical scope of the present invention.

The present invention relates to a mask worn around the mouth, and mainly prevents droplets from entering the respiratory tract, or prevents droplets from scattering into the air due to coughing or sneezing. Is used for the purpose.

FIG. 1 shows the appearance of the mask 10 according to the present invention. The mask 10 includes a main body portion 11 and an ear hook portion 13. The main body 11 is a member for covering the wearer's mouth, and has a structure in which cloth sheets for filtering droplets are laminated over a plurality of layers. Of course, this is just an example, and a single layer of cloth sheet may be formed as long as the droplets can be filtered.

Further, the ear hook portion 13 is a ring-shaped string member having elasticity attached to both left and right side portions of the main body portion 11. The ear hook portion 13 is loosely inserted into the hollow portion 15 formed by folding back and sewing the side portion of the main body portion 11. The portion indicated by the dotted line 14 is the sewn portion.

The wearer can cover his / her mouth with the main body portion 11 by hanging the loop-shaped ear hook portion 13 on the ear. As the elastic material constituting the ear hook portion 13, for example, a mixed woven band of rubber thread and cotton, a mixed knitted net of resin filament, or an elastic non-woven fabric can be used.

A drawstring 20 is loosely inserted in the side edges 16 and 16 of the main body 11. Specifically, the cavity 17 is formed by sewing the vicinity of the edges 16 and 16 on both sides, and the drawstring 2 is formed in the cavity 17.
0 is loosely inserted. The portion indicated by the dotted line 18 is the sewn portion. Since the main body portion 11 is laminated with a plurality of layers of cloth sheets, the hollow portion 17 can be formed by sewing. Further, the lower ends of the cavities 17 and 17 are open, and the drawstring 20 has a shape that protrudes outside the main body 11. When the main body 11 is formed of a single-layer cloth sheet, both side edges 16,1
If 6 is folded back and sewn, the cavity 17 can be formed.

The pull string 20 is a single string body, and both ends thereof are fixed to the main body portion 11. 21 shown in FIG. 1 is a fixed portion. The material of the drawstring 20 is not particularly limited, but a resin round cord or the like can be used.

In the device according to claim 2, a string stopper 30 is interposed in the drawstring 20. As the string stopper 30, it is possible to use a general-purpose stopper that is also called a cord stopper or a cord lock.

FIG. 4 shows an example thereof, and the string stopper 30 has openings 31a and 32a on the operation unit 31 side and the main body 32 side, respectively. As shown in FIG. 4A, the elastic body 33 is interposed so that the operation unit 31 projects from the main body 32. As shown in FIG. 4B, when the operating portion 31 is pushed into the main body 32 against the elastic body 33, the openings 31a and 32a of both overlap, and the pull string 20 can easily pass through. On the other hand, when the pushing force is eliminated, the operation unit 31 is restored by the elastic body 33, and the openings 31a and 32a of both are displaced to restrain the pull string 20 passed therethrough.

Due to such a structure, the elastic body 33 can sandwich and fix an arbitrary position of the drawstring 20. That is, the state in which the side edges 12 and 12 of the main body 11 are pulled can be maintained by the string stopper 30.

Of course, the string stopper 30 shown in FIG. 4 is an example, and a general-purpose string stopper, a cord stopper, a cord lock, or the like can be used as long as it can be fixed at an arbitrary position of the pull string 20.
