Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hygiene mask for covering the nose and mouth in order to protect the throat and nose from pollen, microorganisms, viruses, air pollution, mites, odors, dust and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, a hygiene mask is made of a cloth such as gauze or cotton on the front and back sides in a horizontally-long rectangular shape, and ear straps are attached to left and right sides of the mask body. Overlaid gauze on the inside of the body to the extent that breathing is not hindered, put ear straps on the ears and cover the nose and mouth with the mask body, so that saliva and sputum will be scattered when sneezing, coughing, or talking Or to heat low-temperature, low-humidity air,
It is used for the purpose of humidifying and relieving irritation, preventing infection, and preventing exacerbation of symptoms. In recent years, in order to block the invasion of pollen, bacteria, viruses, airborne dust, etc., glass wool and activated carbon are put into a non-woven fabric as a filter inside the mask body, or fine fibers are charged with static electricity. A multi-layered mask body is used by inserting a special electrostatic filter or by inserting an antibacterial or deodorant ceramic filter in which ceramic and a metal compound are fixed to fine fibers.

[0003]

When the nose and mouth are covered with the above-mentioned hygiene mask and used for use, the center of the upper end of the mask body is bent into a plane arc shape at the nose portion, and the lower side of the left and right eyes. Is abutted over the cheeks of
The lower end of the mask body is covered by being brought into contact with the front surface of the chin. Therefore, when the nose is covered with the mask body, the upper part of the mask body is in close contact with the face above the vicinity of the left and right nostrils, although this is of course related to individual differences such as the height of the nose. It is difficult to be performed, and the gap tends to be vacant. Therefore, outside air may be inhaled or exhaled from the upper gap near the left and right nostrils without passing through the mask body, and the filter function as a hygiene mask may not be sufficiently performed. This means that even at the lower end portion of the mask body, the lower end portion does not sufficiently contact the front surface of the chin portion and floats forward, so that a gap tends to be formed. In some cases, it is sucked directly into the mouth from below without passing through.

[0004]

Therefore, according to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a sanitary mask in which ear straps are attached to both right and left sides of a mask body, firstly, The upper part of the mask body is once bent inward and downward, and then bent again inward and upward. A bendable wire is attached to the leading edge of the upper folded part, and the central part of the leading edge is expanded. Provided is a sanitary mask which is opened and closely fixed and supported from the nose to the cheek.

[0005] Secondly, in addition to the above structure, the lower portion of the mask body is bent inward and upward, and the central portion of the bent portion is expanded to be hooked on the chin from below. Provide a supporting hygiene mask.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a central portion of a mask body, and FIG. 2 is a view of a sanitary mask viewed from the inside. 3 is a perspective view showing a state of use in which a hygiene mask is mounted on the part, FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the state of the hygiene mask mounted on the nose, viewed from above, and FIG. 4 is a part from the nose to the chin. FIG. 4 is a vertical sectional side view of a mask main body attached to the camera. FIG.
FIG. 8 to FIG. 8 are process views of the manufacturing sequence of the mask body viewed from the back side, and FIG. 5 shows a state in which a filter fabric is interposed between two mask fabrics on the front and back, and they are separated vertically. FIG. 6 is a view showing a state in which an upper end portion and a lower end portion of the mask body are bent, FIG. 7 is a view showing a side covering material covering left and right end portions of the mask body, and FIG. It is a figure showing the state where cloth was sewn on both right and left ends of a mask main part.

In the accompanying drawings, reference numeral M denotes a mask main body of a sanitary mask, and as shown in FIG. 5, sewing is performed by interposing a filter cloth 3 between two mask cloths 1, 2 on the front and back sides. Made by things. The filter fabric 3 has a structure in which glass wool and activated carbon are put in a nonwoven fabric as a filter, a special electrostatic filter in which fine fibers are charged with static electricity, and a ceramic and a metal compound fixed to the fine fibers. It is configured by combining any of antibacterial and deodorant ceramic filters. Reference numeral 4 denotes an upper folded portion formed by folding an upper portion of the mask body M inward in a Z-shape, and as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, a middle folding line 5 at about 30 mm from the upper end of the mask body M. , The upper portion of the mask body M is once bent inward and downward with respect to the outer broken line 6 in the upper and lower middle portion, and again bent upward inward, so that the upper portion of the mask body M is Z-shaped. Into a fold. Reference numeral 7 denotes a bendable and elongate strip-shaped wire, which is sewn and attached to a portion of the upper edge portion of the upper folded portion 4 of the mask body M excluding the left and right positions. Reference numeral 8 denotes a lower bent portion obtained by bending the lower portion of the mask body M inward and upward, and a middle bending line 9 at about 15 mm at the lower end of the mask body M.
Is bent inward and upward. Numeral 10 denotes side contact cloths at both left and right end portions of the mask body M.
Cover the left and right edges of the mask body M, and
The string ends of the ear hanging string 11 face the upper and lower positions, and are sewn along the left and right edges of the mask body M. Thus, a horizontally long rectangular mask body M having a width of about 15 cm and a height of 9 to 10 cm is formed.

In order to wear the hygiene mask on the face, first, the central portion of the upper folded portion 4 of the mask body M is pinched, the folded portion is expanded and extended, and then the ear strap 11 is attached. By holding it on the left and right ears, the face from the nose to the chin is covered with the mask body M. Next, when the left and right positions of the central portion of the distal end edge of the extended upper folded portion 4 are pressed from above, the bendable wire 7 provided at the distal end edge forms the shape of the nose portion and the small nose portions on both sides thereof. As shown in the plan view of FIG. 3, the area from the nose to the cheek is tightly formed from above and closed. Further, the central portion of the lower bent portion 8 of the mask body M is pinched from the lower side and stretched to be hooked on the lower part of the chin, thereby closing the lower portion of the mask body M.

[0009]

As described above, the present invention relates to a sanitary mask having ear masks attached to the left and right sides of the mask body as described above. After bending to the inside, it is bent again inward and upward, a bendable wire is attached to the leading edge of the upper folded portion, the central portion of the leading edge is expanded, and the nose portion is expanded to the cheek. Since the hygiene mask is provided so as to be tightly fixed and supported over the parts, when the nose and mouth are covered with the mask body, it is possible to prevent external air from being inhaled or exhaled without passing through the mask body. Prevention, and therefore does not impair the filter function as a hygiene mask.
Secondly, in addition to the above configuration, the lower portion of the mask body is bent inward and upward, and the central portion of the bent portion is expanded to support the chin portion from below so as to be supported. Since the mask is provided, even at the lower end of the mask main body, the lower end is hung on the lower end of the chin portion so that no gap is generated. Various effects such as preventing the air from being sucked directly into the mouth from below without passing through are provided.
