Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a face mask. Background Technology
[0002] Most existing masks have narrow ear loops made of non-woven or meltblown fabric, which have a small contact area with the back of the ear, causing discomfort after long-term wear. In addition, these ear loops have limited elasticity and cannot be well adjusted to fit the length of most adults. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to improve wearing comfort and provide better elastic deformation through the design of the ear hook, so as to adapt to the length adjustment of most adults.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a mask, including ear loops connected to the mask body. The ear loops are characterized in that they include a first connecting part, a second connecting part, and an ear loop part connected between the first connecting part and the second connecting part, respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of one side of the mask body.
[0005] The ear hook has an arc-shaped surface that touches the back of the ear when in use, and extends along the length of the ear hook to increase the contact area with the back of the ear.
[0006] Furthermore, the curved surface is either a convex spherical surface or a cylindrical convex surface.
[0007] Furthermore, the outer surface of the arc-shaped surface facing away from the back of the ear is provided with an elastic cylindrical strip or an elastic semi-cylindrical strip extending along the length direction of the ear hook portion, so as to support the arc-shaped surface.
[0008] Furthermore, a mesh strip or mesh sheet extending along the length direction of the ear loop is provided on the outward surface of the arc-shaped surface opposite to the back of the ear.
[0009] Furthermore, both the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are narrow strips.
[0010] Furthermore, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion have the same structure or shape as the ear loop portion.
[0011] The advantages of this invention are: it increases the contact area with the back of the ear, effectively improving wearing comfort, and has good extensibility and contractility, making it suitable for adults of different ages. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of this utility model in achieving its intended purpose, the specific implementation methods, structural features and effects of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] Figure 1 The image shows a mask including ear loops 2 connected to the mask body 1. Each ear loop 2 includes a first connecting portion 3, a second connecting portion 4, and an ear hook portion 5 connected to the upper and lower ends of one side of the mask body 1, respectively. This three-section design, with a focus on the ear hook portion 5 which directly contacts the back of the ear during wear, ensures a larger contact area with the back of the ear, thereby reducing wearing pressure and improving comfort. Specifically... Figure 1 The ear hook 5 shown has a side that touches the back of the ear when in use. Figure 2 The arc-shaped surface 6 shown extends along the length of the ear hook portion 5 to increase the contact area with the back of the ear. During manufacturing, the length of the arc-shaped surface 6 is greater than the contact length of the back of the ear, that is, to achieve over-coverage of the contact area of the back of the ear when wearing it (larger than the contact area of the back of the ear when wearing it). This can well adapt to the wearing habits of different wearers, such as left or lower, etc., especially to meet the needs of wearers with larger back of the ear, thus obtaining a wider range of applicable people.
[0023] In order to have a better contact surface, and to fit well with the contact surface or space on the back of the ear (fitting the head), as well as to accommodate displacement caused by wearer movement and manufacturing feasibility, the arc-shaped surface 6 provided in this embodiment is a convex spherical surface or a cylindrical convex surface. This can increase the contact area when wearing, and the arc shape of the convex spherical surface or cylindrical convex surface can be adaptively adjusted to ensure the maximum contact area in more opportunities or situations, and ensure the duration of wearing comfort.
[0024] Depend on Figure 3 As can be seen, the outwardly extending surface 7 of the arc-shaped surface 6, away from the back of the ear, is provided with an elastic cylindrical strip 8 or an elastic semi-cylindrical strip 9 extending along the length direction of the ear hook portion 5 (i.e., the cross-section is half a cylinder, see details). Figure 4 This design supports the curved surface 6, effectively creating a solid structure with a certain thickness, namely a cylindrical or semi-cylindrical strip. This not only maximizes the contact area but also adapts to changes in the contact area caused by displacement or tilting during wear, maintaining a relatively constant contact area. This ensures stable contact area during wear and effectively prevents discomfort caused by deformation of the ear hook 5 under stress, such as stretching or narrowing, which would reduce the contact area and increase pressure. The elastic cylindrical strip 8 or elastic semi-cylindrical strip 9 can be made of existing elastic materials such as EVA or TPU, or it can be made of more comfortable silicone.
[0025] Similarly, an abducting surface 7 on the side of the curved surface 6 away from the back of the ear is provided with Figure 5 The mesh strip 10 extending along the length of the ear loop portion 5 is shown. Figure 6 The mesh 11 shown also achieves the same effect as described above, but it has better elasticity, which is beneficial for the elastic adjustment of the length of the ear hook 5 (generally within 5mm; otherwise, it will cause a tightening effect, leading to discomfort). It is recommended that the mesh strip 10 and mesh 11 be made of silicone, and the entire ear hook 2 can be made of silicone.
[0026] Finally, the first connecting part 3 and the second connecting part 4 that can be adapted to the ear hook part 5 provided in the above embodiments can both be Figure 7 The narrow strip shape shown increases its surface area, improving comfort when it touches the ear and surrounding area during wear, or when worn by wearers with larger faces. Alternatively, the first connecting part 3 and the second connecting part 4 can be designed to have the same structure or shape as the ear hook part 5, thus giving the entire ear hook a good sense of unity and facilitating processing.
