Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a moisture-proof mask for fire evacuation, which can be worn when a fire occurs and can prevent toxic gases from being directly inhaled into the respiratory tract, thereby ensuring evacuation time. Background Art
[0002] Generally speaking, the main cause of death in building fires is asphyxiation caused by toxic gases. When a fire occurs, large amounts of carbon monoxide are emitted, along with chlorine and ammonia gases.
[0003] In particular, carbon monoxide combines with hemoglobin more than 200 times more than oxygen, and even a very small amount can cause poisoning and eventually lead to suffocation.
[0004] Therefore, in the event of a fire, you must evacuate quickly. To prevent toxic gases from entering your mouth and nose, you should cover your mouth and nose. Most people cover their mouth and nose with a handkerchief or sleeve.
[0005] Although these handkerchiefs or sleeves cover the mouth and nose, they have large eye holes in the fabric and cannot effectively block toxic gases. In addition, the handkerchief must be held with one hand during evacuation, so both hands are not free. If it is not held properly, the handkerchief will fall to the ground and cannot be used.
[0006] In this regard, Korean Utility Model Application No. 20-2004-0020305 “Fire escape mask” has been filed.
[0007] Traditional masks do not have the function of removing carbon monoxide (CO) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) often produced in fires, so activated carbon is embedded in non-woven fabrics or non-woven fabrics are used to remove dust and smoke produced during the fire. Therefore, not only can they not effectively remove toxic gases and smoke, but they also cause problems such as difficulty breathing due to the lack of free airflow.

[0050] In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 It is a construction drawing of the fireproof moisture-proof mask of the present invention, Figure 2 1 is a rear view of the fireproof moisture-proof mask of the present invention, Figure 3 1 is a cross-sectional view of a fireproof moisture-proof mask according to the present invention, Figure 4 It is a front view of the fireproof moisture-proof mask of the present invention, Figure 5 This is an example diagram of how to wear the fire-proof and moisture-proof mask of the present invention.
[0051] The moisture-proof mask for fire evacuation of the present invention is composed of the following parts: the mask body 2 has a breathable cushion 100 adhered to the nose and mouth; the ear loops 2 are attached to both ends of the mask body 2 and worn on the ears 22; the injection tube 42 is connected to the inner side of the cushion 100 of the mask body 2, the liquid injection bag 42 is connected to the injection tube 42, and is detachably adhered to the inner surface of the cushion 100 and stores the liquid 4; the mask is detachably attached to the outer surface 2 of the mask body and attached to the face and adhered to the forehead line, the sides of the face and the chin 6.
[0052] The mask body 2 is made of a fabric material, has air permeability, and is formed into a predetermined area having an approximately rectangular shape, with ear loops 22 formed at both ends.
[0053] The mask body 2 is stored in the wrapping paper W to prevent contamination.
[0054] The mask body 2 can be adhered to the mouth and nose to maintain breathing, and can protect the user's respiratory system by blocking the toxic gases and hot air generated at the fire scene.
[0055] Toxic gases include phosgene, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and cyanide gases, which are produced in large quantities at the start of a fire and can make it difficult for people to move to the point where they cannot evacuate even if they inhale even a small amount.
[0056] Therefore, in order to prevent the inhalation of such toxic gases and thereby enable the vacuuming activity to be stably maintained, the cushion 100 of the mask body 2 may include filter properties as described below.
[0057] The pad 100 is stored inside the mask body 2 and can be integrally adhered to or separated from the mask body 2 .
[0058] The pad 100 is breathable, but it is desirable to have filtering properties to remove external odors or toxic substances.
[0059] According to one example, the pad 100 includes: an inner fabric 120 that contacts facial skin and is made of textile;
[0060] The outer fabric 120 of the fabric material is stacked on the outside of the inner fabric 140; a filter fabric 160 is composed of a fabric material placed between the inner fabric 120 and the outer fabric 140 and filters harmful particles in the air.
[0061] The inner fabric 120 and the outer fabric 140 are based on natural fibers, but may be composed of a blend of synthetic fibers.
[0062] According to one example, the inner and outer fabrics 120, 140 may be a mixture of 10-20 parts by weight of synthetic fibers, based on 100 parts by weight of natural fibers.
[0063] By blending natural and synthetic fibers, costs can be reduced and durability further improved.
[0064] For example, the inner and outer fabrics 120, 140 may be materials selected from the group consisting of cotton, ramie, and arabesque, and the synthetic fiber may be a material selected from the group consisting of polyester, polyethylene, and polylactic acid.
[0065] Cotton is less irritating to the skin and has a higher moisture absorption rate, which can improve wearing comfort.
[0066] Ramie has the advantages of good absorbency, high durability and high water resistance.
[0067] Chinese characters are lightweight, absorbent, and tough, so they have the advantage of being durable.
[0068] Polyester is durable, resistant to shrinkage and stretching, and resistant to mildew and insects.
[0069] Polyethylene has the advantages of high tensile strength and non-toxicity.
[0070] Polylactic acid is a bio-based material that is strong, highly chemical-resistant, and biodegradable, making it environmentally friendly.
[0071] The filter cloth 160 is composed of a first layer 161 having elasticity, a second layer 162 laminated on the surface of the first layer 161 and having micropores of 0.2 to 0.5 μm to filter out dust, a third layer 163 composed of a carbon filter laminated on the outside of the second layer 162 to filter out and neutralize toxic gas components, and a fourth layer 164 laminated on the outside of the third layer 163 and having micropores of 10 to 14 μm.
[0072] The first layer 161 is to put the recycled fiber raw materials and biodegradable fiber raw materials into a heater, melt and stir them at the same time, input and mix mineral nanopowders during the stirring process, obtain threads from the raw materials through extrusion molding, and then coat the obtained threads with a coating liquid, and weave the finished coated yarn into a fabric with a predetermined area.
[0073] Recycled fibers can be environmentally friendly by using recycled fibers extracted from waste PET bottles and nylon.
[0074] The biodegradable fibers are made from lyocell, bamboo, and corn fibers, or a blend of two or more types.
[0075] Lyocell is a fiber made by taking cellulose from trees, dissolving it in a drug and converting it into fiber, and is a recycled fiber like rayon and acetate.
[0076] Bamboo fiber is made from bamboo and is classified as a natural fiber. It is harmless to the human body and environmentally friendly.
[0077] Since corn fiber is made from corn, it does not irritate the skin, is harmless to the human body, and has the advantage of being environmentally friendly.
[0078] The mineral nano powder is made of illite, volcanic cluster, bentonite or a mixture of two or more thereof.
[0079] Illite is a clay mineral that emits far infrared rays and has the effect of promoting blood circulation.
[0080] The volcanic cluster is rich in mineral components and has excellent advantages in absorption, adsorption, antibacterial, far infrared and negative ion release.
[0081] Bentonite is a clay mineral that has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties and has the benefit of releasing beneficial ingredients into the skin.
[0082] The coating solution is made of a mixture of natural polyphenol compounds, silver nanoparticles, polycarbosilane, avocado oil and citric acid.
[0083] Natural polyphenolic compounds were selected over a day from the group consisting of catechins, silymarin, and quercetin.
[0084] Catechin is a flavonoid that is beneficial to the human body.
[0085] Silymarin is extracted from the seeds of the milk thistle plant and has beneficial antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties for the human body.
[0086] Quercetin, extracted from apple peels, onion peels, elderberries, chamomile, and citrus fruits, has beneficial antioxidant properties.
[0087] On the other hand, the second layer 162 or the fourth layer 164 is a non-woven fabric completed by knitting fibers prepared by adding chitosan and gelatin to cellulose fibers.
[0088] Chitosan has adsorption, moisturizing and antibacterial properties.
[0089] Gelatin smoothly protects the outer layer of the fiber.
[0090] The second layer 162 is formed to have micropores of 10 to 14 μm. If the micropores are smaller than 0.2 μm, there is a risk of respiratory discomfort, and if the micropores are larger than 0.5 μm, there is a risk of decreased filtration efficiency.
[0091] The fourth layer 164 is formed to have micropores of 10 to 14 μm. If the micropores are smaller than 10 μm, there is a risk of respiratory discomfort, and if the micropores are larger than 14 μm, there is a risk of reduced filtration efficiency.
[0092] The third layer 163 is manufactured by mixing carbon with cellulose fibers to adsorb harmful gases (NOx, SOX, hydrocarbons) or odorous components (hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, amines).
[0093] Carbon plays a role in removing harmful substances from the air and has the effect of purifying the air.
[0094] On the other hand, the liquid injection bag 4 injects liquid into the cushion 100 of the mask body 2 to keep it moist, thereby protecting the respiratory tract from the risk of burns by preventing hot air from flowing directly into the mouth or nose.
[0095] The liquid injection bag 4 is installed on one side of the mask body 2, and the liquid is injected into the cushion through the injection tube 42, so that the cushion 100 can be moistened and wetted.
[0096] The liquid injection bag 4 is made of soft packaging material and is discarded after one use. Since it is light in weight, an adhesive tape is provided on one side of the outer surface of the mask body 2 .
[0097] The interior of the liquid injection bag 4 is filled with a predetermined amount of liquid.
[0098] For example, the liquid may be composed of 60-70 wt% pure water, 20-30 wt% water retention, and 5-10 wt% plant-based air freshener.
[0099] The water-retaining agent can be composed of one or more mixtures selected from ethylhexylglycerin, dipropylene glycol, 1,2-hexanediol, propylene glycol, caprylyl glycol, sodium hyaluronate, hydroxypropyltrimethyl hyaluronate, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, acetylated sodium hyaluronate, hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate, sodium hyaluronate, sodium hyaluronate cross-polymer and potassium hyaluronate.
[0100] The injection tube 42 is connected to the discharge port 40 of the liquid injection bag 40 , and a bursting membrane 41 is formed at the discharge port 40 . Pressing the discharge port 40 with a finger presses the ruptured portion of the bursting membrane 41 , transferring the liquid to the injection tube 42 and penetrating into the pad 100 .
[0101] The pad 100 is connected to the injection tube 42 and a zigzag transmission channel 103 is formed by sewing, so that the liquid can be evenly moved and absorbed.
[0102] A through-hole is formed at the end of each transmission channel 103 so that liquid can move between the plurality of transmission channels 103 , thereby allowing the pad 100 to be uniformly wetted.
[0103] On the other hand, the botanical fragrance consists of pine needle extract, cinnamon extract, lemon extract, or a mixture of two or more.
[0104] Pine needles have detoxifying and antiviral properties.
[0105] Cinnamon has blood circulation and anti-inflammatory properties.
[0106] Lemon has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
[0107] On the other hand, the face protection portion 6 is detachably bonded to the outer surface of the mask body 2 and is attached to cover the face and adhere to the forehead line, the sides of the face and the chin.
[0108] The mask 6 is composed of a synthetic resin material having transparency and flame retardancy, and is attached to the front of the face to cover the eyes and nose of the face.
[0109] The face protection portion 6 is formed at the outer periphery along the facial contour so that it is temporarily attached to the forehead line, the sides of the face and the chin.
[0110] Second adhesive surfaces F2 are formed on the inner and outer peripheries to temporarily adhere to the outer surface of the mask body 2 .
[0111] The mask 6 can be stored in a wrapped state before use. When it is intended to be used, a part of the mask protection part 6 is attached to the second adhesive surface F2 of the mask body 2 to make it airtight, and then unfolded to cover the face, and then attached to the first adhesive surface F1 along the outer contour of the face to protect the eyes and facial skin.
[0112] When toxic gas enters the eyes, it is impossible to open the eyes and feel severe pain, so there is a risk of delayed evacuation time and eye damage. Therefore, in order to prevent this, wear the mask body 2 to cover the mouth and nose, then put on the face protector 6, and then cover from the forehead area of the face to the chin area.
[0113] The operation of the present invention thus constructed is described below.
[0114] The mask body 2, the liquid injection bag 4 and the mask 6 are composed of a set, stored in a wrapping paper W and provided sealed.
[0115] Afterwards, the user opens the wrapping paper W and manually pressurizes the liquid injection bag 4 so that the liquid is injected into the pad 100 to wet it.
[0116] Afterwards, the mask body 2 can be worn over the mouth and nose, just like an ordinary mask, to protect the respiratory tract from toxic gases during evacuation.
[0117] On the other hand, in places where toxic gases are serious, the face protection part 6 is attached to the outer surface of the mask body 2 to protect the eyes and face, and then spread and attached along the facial contour using the first adhesive surface F1.
[0118] Therefore, it is necessary to prevent toxic gases from directly contacting the eyes so that they can be evacuated safely.
[0119] With reference to the above-mentioned drawings, embodiments of the present invention are described in more detail, but the present invention is not necessarily limited to such embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the technical ideas of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are not intended to limit the technical ideas of the present invention, but to illustrate it, and the scope of the technical ideas of the present invention is not limited by such embodiments.
