Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a mask for blocking ultraviolet rays irradiated onto the face, and more specifically, to an ultraviolet blocking mask configured to prevent ultraviolet rays from irradiating the cheekbones and temples, where freckles mainly occur, and to enable vigorous exercise while worn without the use of adhesive. Background Technology

[0002] Interest in appearance is growing day by day, and women, in particular, are devoting significant effort to facial skin care.

[0003] Fine dust coming into contact with the skin during outdoor activities can cause allergies, and ultraviolet rays, in particular, are cited as a cause of melasma.

[0004] However, conventional masks were primarily used for the limited purpose of covering the mouth and nose to prevent infectious disease transmission or the inhalation of fine dust.

[0005] In contrast, while hoods are designed to cover the entire face to block ultraviolet rays, this can potentially cause visual aversion.

[0006] Furthermore, conventional masks designed to cover the mouth and nose, or hoods designed to wrap the entire face, affect the wearer's breathing, which is a factor that discourages their use during outdoor sports such as golf.

[0007] Meanwhile, recently, products designed to prevent freckles are being sold that contain lotion in an adhesive patch and can be attached to the cheekbone area.

[0008] As such, the patch-type products mentioned above do not include a separate means for securing them to the face, so when attached to the face, only standing still or very limited activities are possible, and strenuous physical activities such as exercise are difficult.

[0009] In addition, the aforementioned patch-type product has the disadvantage of being difficult to reuse after a single use.

[0010] To solve these problems, the applicant of the present invention has filed Patent No. 10-2-23-0040391 (Title of invention: Mask for UV protection).

[0011] The above-mentioned UV-blocking mask is not configured to cover the human respiratory area, so it is formed with a shorter vertical width compared to a general mask.

[0012] However, as mentioned above, when the vertical width is short, a disadvantage was found in that the mask is easily bent or rolled up and deformed from its original shape.

[0013] This phenomenon can occur frequently, especially after washing the mask.

[0014] In addition, the short vertical width reduces the contact area with the face, leading to a problem where it slips off from its initial wearing position. The problem to be solved

[0015] The objective of the present invention is to provide a UV-blocking mask configured to prevent ultraviolet rays from irradiating the cheekbones and temples, where freckles mainly occur, and to enable vigorous exercise while worn without the use of adhesive.

[0016] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a UV-blocking mask configured to allow for repeated use without the initial wearing state becoming dislodged during exercise.

[0017] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a UV-blocking mask that does not affect breathing while worn.

[0018] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a UV-blocking mask configured to have high adhesion to the face when worn.

[0019] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a UV-blocking mask configured to increase the contact area with the face and the size of the UV-blocking area without covering the respiratory system. means of solving the problem

[0020] A UV-blocking mask according to the present invention for achieving the above objective is a mask for blocking ultraviolet rays by covering the bridge of the nose and the cheekbone area of ​​the face, comprising a pair of cheekbone cover portions for covering the cheekbone area, a nose bridge cover portion for connecting the cheekbone cover portions to each other and being mounted on the bridge of the nose, and ear loop portions coupled to both side ends of the cheekbone cover portions, wherein the cheekbone cover portions and the nose bridge cover portions are integrally formed from a fiber material, the ear loop portions are coupled to the side of the cheekbone cover portions from an elastic fiber material, the upper part of the cheekbone cover portions is formed convexly toward the upward direction, a ventilation opening is formed in the nose bridge cover portions, and an anti-slip portion is formed in the shape of a closed curve on the upper part of the cheekbone cover portions on the inner surface of the mask.

[0021] Here, the width of the nose bridge cover portion is formed to be smaller than that of the cheekbone cover portion, and an anti-slip portion may be formed in the shape of a closed curve on the lower part of the cheekbone cover portion on the inner surface of the mask.

[0022] Preferably, an anti-slip portion may be formed on the nose bridge cover portion on the inner surface of the mask.

[0023] In addition, the portions at both ends of the cheekbone cover where the earring portion is joined may be configured such that the fibers constituting the cheekbone cover overlap to join the earring portion.

[0024] In addition, an anti-slip portion can be formed in an up-and-down direction at the part where the earring portion is joined.

[0025] Preferably, the anti-slip portion may be formed from silicone or hot melt.

[0026] In addition, the anti-slip portion formed on the upper part of the cheekbone cover portion may be formed in the shape of a long, closed curve.

[0027] In addition, the anti-slip portion formed on the lower part of the cheekbone cover portion may be formed in the shape of a long, closed curve.

[0028] Preferably, the anti-slip portion formed on the nose bridge cover portion may be formed on the upper part of the ventilation opening.

[0029] In addition, the anti-slip portion formed on the nose bridge cover may be formed in a triangular shape.

[0030] In addition, the anti-slip portion formed on the lower part of the cheekbone cover portion may be formed with a wider width than the anti-slip portion formed on the upper part of the cheekbone cover portion.

[0031] Preferably, the ventilation opening may be formed from the bottom of the anti-slip part, which is formed in a triangular shape, to the lower part of the side.

[0032] In addition, a horizontally elongated straight anti-slip portion may be formed at the lower part of the above ventilation opening. Effects of the invention

[0033] According to the present invention, ultraviolet rays are prevented from irradiating the cheekbones and temples, where freckles mainly occur, and vigorous exercise is possible while wearing it without the use of adhesive.

[0034] In addition, it can be used repeatedly without losing its initial fit during exercise.

[0035] In addition, it can prevent bending or deformation when wearing or washing the mask.

[0036] In addition, the fit to the face can be improved when worn.

[0037] In addition, it is possible to increase the contact area with the face and the size of the UV-blocking area without obstructing the respiratory system. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0038] The attached drawings below are intended to facilitate understanding of the technical concept of the present invention in conjunction with the detailed description of the invention; therefore, the present invention should not be interpreted as being limited to the matters illustrated in the drawings below. FIG. 1 is a front view of a mask for blocking ultraviolet rays according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an internal front view of the above mask, and FIG. 3 is an exploded view of the above mask, and Figure 4 is a perspective view of the state in which the above mask is worn. Specific details for implementing the invention

[0039] Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0040] Prior to this, the terms used in this specification and claims shall not be interpreted as being limited to their dictionary meanings; rather, based on the principle that the inventor may appropriately define the concepts of the terms to best describe their invention, they shall be interpreted in a meaning and concept consistent with the technical spirit of the invention.

[0041] Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described in this specification and the configurations illustrated in the drawings are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all of the technical ideas of the present invention, and that various equivalents and modifications that can replace them may exist at the time of filing this application.

[0042] FIG. 1 is a front view of a mask for blocking ultraviolet rays according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an internal front view of the mask, FIG. 3 is an exploded view of the mask, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the mask being worn.

[0044] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the ultraviolet blocking mask according to the present invention is a mask for blocking ultraviolet rays by covering the bridge of the nose and the cheekbone area of ​​the face, and comprises a pair of cheekbone cover portions (10) for covering the cheekbone area, a nose bridge cover portion (20) for connecting the cheekbone cover portions (10) to each other and being mounted on the bridge of the nose, and ear loop portions (30) coupled to both side ends of the cheekbone cover portions (10). The cheekbone cover portions (10) and the nose bridge cover portions (20) are integrally formed from a fiber material, and the ear loop portions (30) are coupled to the side of the cheekbone cover portions (10) using an elastic fiber material. The upper part of the cheekbone cover portions (10) is formed convexly toward the upward direction, and a ventilation opening (16) is formed in the nose bridge cover portion (20). On the inner surface of the mask, an anti-slip portion (40) is formed on the upper part of the cheekbone cover portions (10). It is characterized by being formed in the shape of a closed curve.

[0045] The ultraviolet blocking mask according to the present invention is a mask designed to block ultraviolet rays from penetrating into the areas of the face, excluding the mouth and nostrils, but mainly covering the bridge of the nose, the cheekbone area, the temple area, and the dark circle area.

[0046] The above cheekbone cover portion (10) is formed as a pair on the left and right sides to cover the cheekbone area of ​​the wearer when wearing the mask according to the present invention.

[0047] And, between a pair of the above-mentioned cheekbone cover parts (10), a nose bridge cover part (20) is formed to connect them to each other.

[0048] The nose bridge cover portion (20) is a part that is mounted on the nose bridge of the wearer, as shown in FIG. 4, when wearing the mask according to the present invention.

[0049] The cheekbone cover portion (10) and the bridge of the nose cover portion (20) are integrally formed from a synthetic fiber material woven to be elastic.

[0050] The earring portion (30) is attached to both side ends of the cheekbone cover portion (10).

[0051] The above ear loops (30) can be formed from an elastic fiber material, such as the ear loops of a standard commercial mask used to cover the mouth and nose area.

[0052] And, the upper part (12) of the cheekbone cover part (10) is formed convexly toward the upper side.

[0053] Thus, the upper part (12) of the cheekbone cover (10) is configured to cover the temple of the mask wearer.

[0054] In addition, a concave portion (15) is formed between the cheekbone cover portion (10) and the nose bridge cover portion (20), and the concave portion (15) is configured to cover the dark circles of the mask wearer.

[0055] Thus, it can be configured to cover the bridge of the nose, cheekbones, temples, and dark circles, where freckles mainly occur when the face is exposed to sunlight.

[0056] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, an anti-slip portion (40) is formed on the upper part of the cheekbone cover portion (10) on the inner surface of the mask.

[0057] The above anti-slip part (40) may be formed of silicone or hot melt (EVA: ethylene vinyl acetate) having sticky properties.

[0058] The anti-slip portion (40) formed on the upper part of the cheekbone cover portion (10) can be formed in the shape of a long, horizontally extended closed curve with a constant width.

[0059] By forming a horizontally elongated closed curve-shaped anti-slip portion (40) on the upper part of the cheekbone cover portion (10), it is possible to prevent the cheekbone cover portion (10) from sliding downward when wearing the mask according to the present invention.

[0060] In addition, the anti-slip portion (40) formed on the upper part of the cheekbone cover portion (10) is formed in the shape of a long, closed curve, thereby providing much greater elasticity compared to the case where the anti-slip portion (40) is formed as a single open straight line or curve rather than a closed curve.

[0061] That is, since the above anti-slip part (40) is formed in the shape of a single closed curve, it can provide significantly higher resistance to bending forces in the left-right or up-down directions compared to when it is formed as a straight line or a curve.

[0062] Thus, the phenomenon of the mask edge portion around the anti-slip part (40) rolling up can be prevented.

[0063] In addition, an anti-slip portion (50) may be formed in the shape of a long, closed curve on the lower part of the cheekbone cover portion (10) on the inner surface of the mask.

[0064] The anti-slip portion (50) formed on the lower part of the cheekbone cover portion (10) is formed in the shape of a closed curve that is longer laterally than the anti-slip portion (40) formed on the upper part of the cheekbone cover portion (10).

[0065] Thus, the anti-slip portion (50) formed on the lower part of the cheekbone cover portion (10) is configured to stably contact the wearer's cheek portion over a wide area, thereby preventing the mask from moving.

[0066] As described above, the anti-slip portion (40, 50) is formed in the shape of a long, closed curve at the upper and lower parts of the cheekbone cover portion (10), thereby preventing deformation of the upper and lower parts of the cheekbone cover portion (10), where rolling mainly occurs when wearing a mask or washing.

[0067] In addition, since the anti-slip portion (40, 50) is formed in the shape of a long, horizontally extended closed curve, compared to the case where it is formed in the shape of a long, vertically extended closed curve, it can provide greater resistance to the phenomenon of the upper and lower parts of the cheekbone cover portion (10) being rolled up with an anti-slip portion of the same size.

[0068] In addition, the anti-slip portion (40, 50) is formed horizontally at the upper and lower portions of the cheekbone cover portion (10), thereby minimizing the sticky foreign sensation when wearing the mask while preventing it from sliding down.

[0069] And, the part (14) where the earring part (30) is joined at both ends of the cheekbone cover part (10) can be configured so that the earring part (30) is joined in a state where the fibers constituting the cheekbone cover part (10) are overlapped in multiple layers.

[0070] That is, in the part (14) where the earring part (30) is joined, the fibers constituting the cheekbone cover part (10) are layered in two or three layers to have somewhat increased strength.

[0071] Thus, the part (14) to which the earring part (30) is joined is constructed with the same fiber as the fiber constituting the cheekbone cover part (10) and is layered in multiple layers, thereby providing a soft feeling when worn, while preventing the two side ends of the mask from bending and maintaining an unfolded state.

[0072] In addition, an anti-slip portion (70) can be formed in an up-and-down direction at the part where the ear loop portion (30) is attached on the inner surface of the mask.

[0073] Thus, by applying silicone or hot melt to the part (14) where the ear loops (30) are joined, which are stacked in two or three layers as described above, it is possible to prevent the part (14) where the ear loops (30) are joined from bending when wearing the mask and to make it more advantageous to maintain an unfolded state.

[0074] Thus, the mask is configured to prevent bending or shifting from its initial wearing position even when performing vigorous exercise while wearing the mask according to the present invention.

[0075] Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper and lower width (W1) of the nose bridge cover portion (20) is formed to be smaller than the width (W2) of the cheekbone cover portion, so that the mouth is not covered when wearing the mask according to the present invention, and it can be constructed to be as lightweight as possible.

[0076] The nose bridge cover portion (20) is formed to be gently convex upward between the cheekbone cover portion (10), and an anti-slip portion (60) may be formed on the nose bridge cover portion (20) on the inner surface of the mask.

[0077] Preferably, the anti-slip portion (60) formed on the inner surface of the nose bridge cover portion (20) can be formed in a triangular shape.

[0078] By means of the anti-slip portion (60) formed in a triangular shape at the center of the nose bridge cover portion (20), the nose bridge cover portion (20) can be prevented from sliding downward from the nose bridge when wearing the mask.

[0079] In addition, the anti-slip part (60) is stably positioned in a triangular shape on the bridge of the nose, thereby preventing movement to the left and right when wearing the mask according to the present invention.

[0080] In addition, compared to the case where the above anti-slip part (60) is formed in a straight line or a curve, by being formed in a triangular shape as described above, it can provide significantly greater resistance to bending forces in the left-right or up-down direction.

[0081] Preferably, the width (W3) of the anti-slip portion (50) formed on the lower part of the cheekbone cover portion (10) on the inner surface of the mask may be formed with a wider width than the width (W4) of the anti-slip portion (40) formed on the upper part of the cheekbone cover portion (10).

[0082] Thus, the anti-slip portion (50) formed on the lower part of the wearer's cheek can be stably contacted over a wider range than the anti-slip portion (40) formed on the upper part of the cheekbone cover portion (10) formed around the sensitive eyes.

[0083] Accordingly, it is configured to prevent foreign body sensation and movement when wearing the mask.

[0084] A ventilation opening (16) is formed in the lower part of the anti-slip part (60) of the nose bridge cover part (20).

[0085] The above ventilation opening (16) can be formed by punching the fabric forming the mask using a mold, and the mask wearer's nostrils can be placed in the ventilation opening (16).

[0086] And, the lower part (18) of the above ventilation opening (16) can be placed on the philtrum of the mask wearer.

[0087] Thus, the width (W1) of the nose bridge cover portion (20) and the width (W2) of the cheekbone cover portion (10) can be increased, while the nose bridge cover portion (20) can be configured so as not to block the nostrils of the mask wearer.

[0088] In addition, the nose bridge cover portion (20) is positioned on the nose bridge of the mask wearer, and the lower portion (18) of the ventilation opening (16) is positioned on the philtrum, thereby increasing the contact area with the face and preventing the mask from moving.

[0089] In addition, the size of the facial area that can block ultraviolet rays can be increased through the mask.

[0090] Preferably, the ventilation opening (16) may be formed such that both side ends (162) are directed upward at a certain height from the bottom (62) of the anti-slip part (60) formed in a triangular shape to the bottom of the side side (64).

[0091] Thus, it is configured to prevent stress from concentrating on both ends of the ventilation opening (16), thereby preventing damage to both ends of the ventilation opening (16) even during long-term use.

[0092] In addition, a horizontally elongated straight anti-slip portion (80) may be formed on the lower portion (18) adjacent to the ventilation opening (16).

[0093] The middle part of the mask can be further prevented from being deformed or moved by the anti-slip part (80) at the bottom of the ventilation opening (167) which is formed in a horizontally elongated rectangular shape.

[0095] For the above, the terms used in the embodiments of the present invention have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains.

[0096] Although the present invention has been described by limited embodiments and drawings, the above embodiments are intended to explain, not to limit, the technical concept of the present invention, and therefore the technical concept of the present invention is not limited to these, and various modifications and variations may be made by a person skilled in the art within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention and the equivalent scope of the following claims.
