Abstract
Description
Technology Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a face-fitting mask, and more specifically, to a face-fitting mask that prevents infection of the user by blocking external fine dust and bacteria from entering the mask by attaching a sealing member to the mask body to seal the gaps caused by lifting rather than adhering to the curved face of different users when the mask is worn. Background Technology
[0003] In general, people wear masks that cover the nose and mouth to prevent fine dust or bacteria from entering the respiratory system. Furthermore, with the increase in respiratory disease patients due to the outbreaks of COVID-19 and influenza in modern times, wearing masks is recommended in public facilities.
[0004] Various masks are being provided to block fine dust and bacteria entering the respiratory system in this way.
[0005] For example, KF80 or KF94 masks are equipped with a filter function that blocks infection by droplets (water droplets from coughing), and these masks are provided in individual packaging so that they are discarded after a single use to prevent infection.
[0006] The masks provided in this way are provided folded in half like a beak shape or unfolded into a square shape to minimize volume for easy transport and storage.
[0007] However, when wearing a mask provided in a folded or unfolded state as described above, the upper and lower parts folded in half do not unfold into the desired shape, so a gap may occur between the bridge of the nose and the chin located at each part, and the same gap occurs between the bridge of the nose and the chin in the mask provided in the unfolded state as well, so it was not possible to block fine dust and bacteria from entering through the gap.
[0008] In order to solve this, a nose bridge wire or nose bridge seal is attached to the upper side of a conventional mask to maintain a flexible, deformed shape, allowing the user to adjust it according to the height and width of the nose bridge. However, when the mask is first provided, the wire or seal is also provided in a folded or unfolded state. Therefore, even if it is bent to fit the user's face, the gap caused by lifting due to the elastic restoring force cannot be blocked, and thus, there is a problem in that the ingress of fine dust and bacteria cannot be prevented.
[0009] As prior art for solving these problems, Patent Publication No. 10-2020-0127394 (Title: Mask including a sealing member) is disclosed, and its composition includes a mask body positioned on the front of the wearer's face to block the area around the nose and mouth from the outside, and a foamed sealing member attached to a part of the rear portion of the mask body that contacts the front of the face to support the close fixation of the front of the face and the mask body. The foamed sealing member is composed of a material with a closed-cell structure and is configured in a 3D shape having a certain length and thickness simultaneously. When the mask body is worn, the part that contacts the area around the nose is configured to protrude to form an arc shape with respect to the center of the face, thereby forming a curved portion.
[0010] In other words, the prior art is configured such that a sealing member is attached to a portion of the rear of the mask body so that the mask body adheres closely to the face.
[0011] However, the sealing member of the prior art is attached only to a part of the mask body, such as the bridge of the nose, and thus has the problem of not being able to block the gap that occurs between the other parts of the mask and the face, such as the chin area including both cheeks and the lower jaw.
[0012] Moreover, facial curvature varies significantly depending on the shape of the face or gender, so prior art has the problem of being unable to block gaps occurring in parts other than the bridge of the nose.
[0013] In addition, as previously mentioned, the sealing member of the prior art also possesses a restoring force due to elasticity, and thus does not unfold completely when folded, resulting in a problem where the space between the mask and the face cannot be perfectly sealed.
[0014] In addition, there is a problem where women are reluctant to wear masks of the prior art because the large surface area of the face comes into contact with the mask, causing their makeup to rub off. The problem to be solved
[0016] The present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, wherein the rear surface of the mask body and the face are sealed with a sealing member, and the sealing member is formed in a ring shape to seal the face of the user, such as the bridge of the nose, both cheeks, and the chin, thereby improving the degree of sealing, while preventing the mask body from directly touching the face so that cosmetics on a large area are not wiped off.
[0017] In addition, the thickness of the above-mentioned adhesive member can be made constant or varied to allow the gap to be sealed according to the curvature of the face.
[0018] In addition, a contact wire is installed on the contact member attached to the face to maintain a deformed shape that conforms to the face.
[0019] In addition, a foldable flap is attached to the rear of the mask body, and the degree of sealing and airtightness are improved through the action of the folded flap and the sealing member coming into contact with the face. means of solving the problem
[0021] The present invention is configured as follows to achieve the above objectives. That is, it is characterized by having a mask body formed with ear loops formed on both sides for hanging on the ears, which is worn on the user's face including the bridge of the nose, both cheeks, and the chin to block the inhalation of fine dust and bacteria, and a sealing member formed in a ring shape with a predetermined thickness and width, which is fixed by a fixing means over the entire inner edge of the mask body to seal the gap that occurs between the mask body and the face, thereby blocking the inhalation of fine dust and bacteria.
[0022] In addition, the above-mentioned adhesive member is characterized by being formed in a ring shape with a constant thickness and fixed to the inner edge of the mask body.
[0023] In addition, the above-mentioned adhesive member is formed in a ring shape, wherein the upper and lower sides positioned on the user's nose bridge and chin are formed thickly, and the sides positioned on the user's cheeks are formed relatively thinly, so that the thickness gradually decreases from each of the thick upper and lower sides toward both sides.
[0024] In addition, a ring-shaped insertion groove is formed across the entire center of the outer surface of a contact member that abuts the mask body, and a contact wire is formed in a ring shape to be inserted into the insertion groove and is formed to maintain a deformed shape with flexibility, thereby enabling the mask body to adhere closely to the user's curved face.
[0025] Meanwhile, it is characterized by having a foldable flap formed to extend to a predetermined height on the outer surface of a contact member that is fixed to the entire outer surface of the mask body, and in contact with the mask body.
[0026] In addition, the above-mentioned folding flap is characterized by having a first folding line formed to allow it to be easily folded.
[0027] In addition, the device is characterized by having a second folding line formed at a predetermined interval from the first folding line, so that the user can easily fold the above-mentioned folding flap and select and adjust the folding width to fit the gap between the mask body and the face.
[0028] In addition, the edge of the foldable flap is characterized by having multiple "V" shaped cuts at predetermined intervals, so that when the foldable flap is folded, the cut portions are formed to prevent the flap from overlapping, lifting, or bending.
[0029] In addition, an extension cover portion is configured to extend one end of the "V" shape of the cutting portion, so that when the folding flap is folded, the cutting portion opens into a "V" shape, and the extension cover portion enters the inner side of the other end of the cutting portion to block and seal the resulting gap.
[0030] Meanwhile, the above-mentioned fixing means is characterized by being composed of any one of a natural adhesive, double-sided tape, heat fusion, hot melt, or a detachable Velcro fastener for attaching the inner surface of the mask body and the outer surface of the adhesive member. Effects of the invention
[0032] As described above, according to the present invention, by attaching a ring-shaped adhesive member to the inner edge of the mask body, the gap between the mask and the curved face is sealed with the adhesive member, thereby preventing infection caused by the inhalation of fine dust and bacteria.
[0033] In addition, the thickness of the above-mentioned adhesive member can be formed uniformly, or the upper and lower parts positioned on the bridge of the nose and chin can be formed thickly, while the sides positioned on the cheeks can be formed relatively thinly, thereby allowing users with different facial curvatures to select and use a suitable adhesive member by considering their degree of adhesion.
[0034] In addition, the above-mentioned adhesive member is formed from a material such as nonwoven fabric or silicone that is soft while having a predetermined thickness, so that when wearing a mask, the adhesive member is pressed to conform to the curves of the face and adheres to it.
[0035] In particular, a sealing member that is thick at the top and bottom and gradually thins out toward both sides can further improve the degree of sealing with the face, thereby achieving an excellent sealing effect.
[0036] That is, when the mask is first worn, even if the top of the mask is folded or unfolded to fit the highest point of the nose bridge on the face, a large gap is created due to the elastic restoring force. Therefore, the top and bottom of the sealing member are formed thickly, and the sides of the mask located on both cheeks are formed thinly so that they can be pulled by the elastic force of the ear loops and come into contact with both cheeks, thereby improving the degree of seal.
[0037] In this way, even when a user unfolds a beak-shaped mask provided in a state where it is folded flat in half, the sealing member can seal the gap between the face and the mask in a pointed state without being fully unfolded. Additionally, the mask folded in half is folded in a state that is spread apart by the thickness height of the sealing member, so when the folded part is unfolded, it is not pointed but forms an arc shape similar to the curve of the bridge of the nose, thereby increasing the seal.
[0038] In addition, by installing a ring-shaped contact wire on the inner surface of the contact member, the contact wire has the effect of maintaining the deformed and contacted state of the mask body and the contact member that are in contact with the face.
[0039] Meanwhile, by fixing a foldable flap having a first fold line and a second fold line formed on the above-mentioned sealing member, when the ear loops pull the mask while the foldable flap is folded in an "∧" state, the folded side comes into contact with the face and is sealed, thereby improving the degree of sealing and airtightness in two stages together with the sealing member, and thus has the effect of blocking the entry of fine dust and bacteria into the inside of the mask.
[0040] In addition, by forming a "V"-shaped cutting portion on the above-mentioned foldable flap, when the foldable flap is folded, it has the effect of being able to be folded in a flat state without overlapping, lifting, or bending.
[0041] In addition, by forming an extension cover portion that extends one side of the cutting portion, when the folding flap is folded, a gap is created in the cutting portion that opens in a "V" shape; the extension cover portion then moves inward toward the other end of the cutting portion to block the gap and seal it.
[0042] In addition, by configuring the fixing means for fixing the adhesive member to the rear surface of the mask body with natural adhesive, double-sided tape, heat fusion, hot melt, or Velcro fasteners, there is also the effect of selecting and fixing an attachment method suitable for the material of the mask body and the material of the adhesive member.
[0043] In addition, women have been reluctant to wear conventional masks because the large surface area of the face comes into contact with them, causing their makeup to smudge. However, since the present invention allows only a small amount of the adhesive member to come into contact with the face, it has the effect of solving the problem of makeup smudging.

Specific details for implementing the invention
[0046] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.
[0047] As shown in the attached drawing, the face-contacting mask of the present invention is largely composed of a mask body (100) and a contact member (200) attached to the rear surface of the mask body (100).
[0049] The above mask body (100) is configured to filter various materials to block the inhalation of commonly known fine dust and bacteria, and ear loops (110) for wearing on the user's ears are configured on both sides of the mask body (100).
[0050] In addition, a sealing piece (120) is configured to be embedded in the upper center of the mask body (100) to maintain a deformed state in which the mask body (100) is in close contact with the user's nose bridge.
[0051] Accordingly, the mask body (100) seals the user's face, including the bridge of the nose, both cheeks, and the chin, thereby blocking the inhalation of fine dust and bacteria.
[0053] The above-mentioned adhesive member (200) is formed from a material such as non-woven fabric, foamed material, or silicone having a soft nature and having a predetermined thickness and width, so as to seal and block the gap that occurs between the mask body (100) and the face, and is attached in a ring shape along the rear edge of the mask body (100) using a fixing means (500).
[0054] That is, since the height and width of the bridge of the nose, the height of the cheeks on both sides, and the shape of the chin differ for each person, the curved shapes all appear differently, and as a result, the gap between the mask body (100) and the face also occurs in various sizes and shapes, and when a soft adhesive member (200) comes into contact with the user's curved surface, it can close the gap by pressing and adhering to the shape.
[0055] In addition, since the contact member (200) is only in contact with the face in a small amount, only a small amount of the cosmetic applied to the face is wiped off, making it easy to reapply the cosmetic.
[0056] Accordingly, the mask of the present invention can block the entry of fine dust and bacteria by improving the degree of contact with the user's face through the contact member (200).
[0058] Meanwhile, the above-mentioned adhesive member (200) can be formed into a ring shape with a certain thickness (T) and attached to the inner edge of the mask body (100) using a fixing means (500), and the certain thickness (T) of the above-mentioned adhesive member (200) can be formed with a height of 3mm to 10mm.
[0059] When the thickness (T) of the sealing member (200) is provided in such a way that the user's face is smaller than the total width of the mask, the mask body (100) worn is compressed by the pulling elastic force of the ear loops (110) and lifted away from the face, causing a large gap to form. However, the face is pressed against the even height of the sealing member (200) formed with a constant thickness (T), thereby sealing the gap and sealing it.
[0061] Alternatively, depending on the facial contours of the user, a relatively large gap may form a triangular shape between the mask body (100) and the bridge of the nose and the chin, and a relatively small gap may occur between both cheeks and the mask body (100) due to the elastic pulling force of the ear loops (110).
[0062] In order to block such facial gaps, the thickness of the adhesive member (200) is formed differently and is configured to be attached to the inner edge of the mask body (100) using a fixing means (500).
[0063] That is, the thickness (T) of the upper and lower parts of the above-mentioned adhesive member (200) is formed to be thick, approximately 3mm to 10mm, and the thickness (t) of both sides is formed to be relatively thin, approximately 1mm to 2mm, so that it gradually becomes thinner from the thick parts of the upper and lower parts toward both sides.
[0064] Accordingly, the upper part formed with a thick thickness (T) of the above-mentioned adhesive member (200) can seal a large gap on the bridge of the nose, and the lower part can seal a large gap on the chin, and the two sides formed with a thin thickness (t) of the above-mentioned adhesive member (200) can be placed on both cheeks of the wearer to seal a small gap.
[0065] In this way, there is an effect of being able to directly select and use a sealing member (200) that has excellent sealing performance between the user and the mask among the sealing members (200) provided with a constant thickness (T) or different thicknesses (T)(t).
[0067] In addition, the above-mentioned adhesive piece (120) is configured to be deformed by the user to adhere the mask body (100) to the bridge of the nose, but this is configured to adhere only to the bridge of the nose and cannot adhere to other curved parts, so a gap may occur, and additionally, the adhesive member (200) formed of a soft material of a predetermined thickness also has an elastic force that tends to spread apart, so the efficiency of the facial adhesion may be reduced.
[0068] To solve this, a ring-shaped insertion groove (310) is formed concavely along the entire center of the outer surface of the adhesive member (200), that is, the outer surface that contacts the inner surface of the mask body (100), and an adhesive wire (300) formed in a ring shape is configured so as to be inserted into the insertion groove (310), and the adhesive wire (300) is configured to have flexibility and maintain its state when its shape is deformed.
[0069] Additionally, after inserting the above-mentioned contact wire (300) into the outer surface of the contact member (200), if the outer surface and the inner surface of the mask body (100) are fixed with a fixing means (500), the contact wire (300) is formed to be interposed between the contact member (200) and the mask body (100).
[0070] Accordingly, after wearing the above mask body (100), if the sealing wire (300) is deformed to fit the curve of the face along with the sealing piece (120) that adheres to the bridge of the nose, the mask body (100) and the sealing member (200) are also deformed in the same way, thereby sealing the gap that occurs between the face.
[0072] Meanwhile, if the above-mentioned contact member (200) is formed in a flexible manner, the degree of contact with the user's face can be increased, but the sealing performance may be reduced due to the characteristics of the material.
[0073] To prevent such degradation of sealing performance, a foldable flap (400) is configured to be folded into a "∧" shape and sealed while fixed to the sealing member (200).
[0074] The above-mentioned foldable flap (400) is formed by being fixed to the outer surface of the sealing member (200) and extending to a predetermined height. When the user wears the mask body (100), the foldable flap (400) is folded in half, forming an "∧" shape that opens due to elastic restoring force. The folded side comes into contact with the face and can seal the gap together with the sealing member (200), and can also perfectly block the inflow of fine dust and bacteria in a double manner together with the sealing member (200).
[0076] Here, a first folding line (410) is formed so that the user can easily fold the above-mentioned folding flap (400) into a "∧" shape, and the first folding line (410) is formed by intermittently compressing the front and rear surfaces at the same location of the folding flap (400) to create a concave shape.
[0077] Therefore, folding the above-mentioned folding flap (400) along the first folding line (410) can provide convenience by making it easy and ensuring a consistent folding interval.
[0079] Furthermore, a second folding line (420) is formed on the folding flap (400) at a predetermined interval from the first folding line (410), so that the user can select and adjust the folding interval of the folding flap (400).
[0080] That is, the width of the gap between the user's face and the inner surface of the mask body (100) varies, and in order to seal these different gaps, the folded gap of the folding flap (400) can be adjusted by folding along either the first folding line (410) or the second folding line (420) to seal the gap.
[0081] For example, when folded along the first folding line (410), the folded side of the foldable flap (400) becomes shorter, and when folded along the second folding line (420), the folded side of the foldable flap (400) becomes longer, thereby allowing the selection and use of any folding line that can improve the degree of contact with the face.
[0082] In addition, when folded along the second folding line (420), the first folding line (410) makes a U-turn and comes into contact with the face. At this time, the first folding line (410) in contact with the face naturally bends to match the curved shape, thereby providing a sealing effect.
[0083] For this reason, additional folding lines, such as the second folding line mentioned above, can be formed on the folding flap (400) to further adjust the folding gap.
[0085] In addition, when the above-mentioned folding flap (400) is folded inward using the first folding line (410) and the second folding line (420), it overlaps as if being stacked, and when it overlaps in this way, a gap may occur due to the lifted part.
[0086] To solve this, a cutting section (430) is formed at the edge of the foldable flap (400) by making multiple "V" shaped cuts at predetermined intervals.
[0087] Therefore, when the above-mentioned foldable flap (400) is folded, it can be folded without overlapping by means of the cut portion (430) that is cut and opened, thereby preventing the occurrence of a gap caused by lifting.
[0089] Here, when the foldable flap (400) is folded using the cutting portion (430), the cutting portion (430) is exposed because there is no surface to close the part due to the cutting portion, and as a result, external fine dust and bacteria can enter the interior through the exposed part, thereby reducing the double blocking performance in conjunction with the sealing member (200).
[0090] To solve this, one end (431) of the "V" shape of the cutting part (430) is extended, and the remaining part excluding the one end (431) is formed so as not to be connected to the folding flap (400), thereby forming an extension cover part (440) that can freely rotate around the one end, and the extended length of the extension cover part (440) is formed to be a length that can be inserted into the inner side of the other end (432) of the cutting part (430).
[0091] Additionally, a first folding line (410) is formed horizontally in the extension cover portion (440) at the same position as the first folding line (410) configured in the folding flap (400), so that when the folding flap (400) is folded using the first folding line (410), the extension cover portion (440) is also folded at the same position, or when the folding flap (400) is folded using the second folding line (420), the remaining part of the extension cover portion (440), excluding one end (431), is not connected to the folding flap (400), thereby allowing it to be folded without interference.
[0092] Accordingly, when one end of the cutting section (430) is first folded using the first folding line (410) or the second folding line, the extension cover section (440) is also folded inward, and its end is positioned inside the other end (432). Subsequently, when the other end of the cutting section (430) is folded, the extension cover section (440) is folded in a state where it is inserted inward into the other end, so that the extension cover section (440) closes the exposed part of the "V" cutting section (430), thereby blocking the inflow of fine dust and bacteria.
[0093] Meanwhile, the above fixing means (500) is configured to attach a sealing means to the inner surface of the mask body (100), and various fixing methods such as natural adhesive, double-sided tape, heat fusion, hot melt, and detachable Velcro fasteners can be selected and used according to the material and properties of the mask body (100) and the sealing means.
[0095] As described above, according to the present invention, by fixing a sealing member (200) to the inner surface of a mask body (100), the degree of sealing performance can be improved by increasing the degree of contact with the user's face. Additionally, the degree of contact can be increased by selecting a thickness of the sealing member (200) that is thick or thick and thin to match the shape of the user's face. Furthermore, by configuring a sealing wire (300), the mask body (100) and the sealing member (200) can maintain a shape in which they are in close contact with the user's face. Additionally, by configuring a foldable flap (400), the inflow of fine dust and bacteria can be double-blocked in conjunction with the sealing member, thereby providing a useful face-contacting mask that can prevent infection.
[0097] The present invention is not limited to the aforementioned embodiments and can be implemented with various modifications within the scope permitted by the technical concept of the present invention. Explanation of the symbols
