Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of hygiene products technology, and in particular to a protective component. Background Technology

[0002] A face mask is generally a protective device used to prevent harmful gases, droplets, or dust from entering the body. With the improvement of people's living standards, there has gradually been a demand for sun protection through wearing face masks.

[0003] In related technologies, the breathable mechanism of sun protection masks is generally achieved by setting breathable holes under the nose or at the mouth and nose.

[0004] However, for people with acne-prone skin, in addition to breathability around the mouth and nose, the cheeks also need to be breathable while being protected from the sun. Therefore, existing sun-protective masks often fail to meet the breathability needs of people with acne-prone skin. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a protective device to address the problem that sun-protective masks in related technologies cannot meet the breathability needs of people with acne-prone skin.

[0006] The protective device provided in this application includes a mask body, which includes a main body and a breathable part. The breathable part is connected to the main body. When the protective device is worn, the breathable part covers the cheek side. The breathability of the breathable part is greater than that of the main body, so that air can enter the coverage area of ​​the mask body from the breathable part.

[0007] The aforementioned protective device, by setting the breathability of the breathable part to be greater than that of the main body, allows the user to form a corresponding airflow from the mouth and nose to the cheeks inside the mask body with each breath after wearing the protective device, thereby improving the breathability of the cheek area. This can meet the facial breathability needs of people with acne-prone skin when wearing a mask.

[0008] In one embodiment, the thickness of the main body is greater than the thickness of the breathable part.

[0009] In one embodiment, the mask body includes a first cover layer and a second cover layer, wherein the second cover layer is stacked on top of the first cover layer; the overlapping portion of the first cover layer and the second cover layer is configured as the main body portion, and the portion of the first cover layer exposed in the second cover layer is configured as the breathable portion.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first cover is made of at least a breathable, antibacterial fabric; and / or, the second cover is made of at least a moisture-permeable, breathable fabric.

[0011] In one embodiment, the second cover layer has greater air permeability than the first cover layer.

[0012] In one embodiment, the first cover layer is the inner layer of the mask body, and the second cover layer is the outer layer of the mask body.

[0013] In one embodiment, the main body has a raised area, and when the protective member is worn, the raised area can cover the nose; when the protective member is worn, the height of the highest point of the breathable part is not lower than the height of the raised area corresponding to the tip of the nose.

[0014] In one embodiment, the color depth of the breathable portion is greater than the color depth of the main body portion, and / or the breathable portion is disposed near the edge of the main body portion away from the raised area.

[0015] In one embodiment, when the protective member is worn, the breathable portion can cover the masseter muscle.

[0016] In one embodiment, the ventilated portion and the main body portion are arranged on the same side. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0022] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0023] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0024] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly.

If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0027] Considering that existing sun-protective masks generally achieve ventilation by setting ventilation holes under the nose or at the mouth and nose, however, such sun-protective masks are difficult to meet the ventilation needs of people with acne-prone skin. This application provides a protective component that, in addition to allowing ventilation of the mouth and nose, also allows ventilation of the cheek area while providing sun protection, thus effectively meeting the ventilation needs of people with acne-prone skin.

[0028] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a protective component 10, which includes a mask body 100. The mask body 100 includes a main body portion 110 and a breathable portion 120. The breathable portion 120 is connected to the main body portion 110. When the protective component 10 is worn, the breathable portion 120 covers the cheek side. The breathability of the breathable portion 120 is greater than that of the main body portion 110, so that air can enter the coverage area of ​​the mask body 100 from the breathable portion 120.

[0029] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown from the perspective, the ventilation portion 120 located on the back side of the mask body 100 is not shown.

[0030] The aforementioned protective component 10, by setting the breathability of the breathable part 120 to be greater than that of the main body 110, allows the user to form an airway circulating from the mouth and nose along both sides of the cheeks inside the mask body 100 after wearing the protective component 10, thereby improving the breathability of the cheek area and meeting the breathability needs of people with acne-prone skin.

[0031] It is worth noting that the protective component 10 described above can form an airway that circulates from the mouth and nose along both sides of the cheeks inside the mask body 100. This also helps to reduce the airflow flowing from the mouth and nose along the top of the face, thereby reducing the problem of glasses fogging.

[0032] Optionally, the color depth of the breathable part 120 is greater than that of the main body 110. In this way, in terms of optical visual effect, the protective part 10 will form a shadow area on both sides, thereby achieving a visually slimming effect.

[0033] Optionally, in some embodiments, the thickness of the main body 110 is greater than the thickness of the breathable part 120. When the user wears the protective piece 10, it will visually create a narrower face effect. In combination with the setting that the color depth of the breathable part 120 is greater than the color depth of the main body 110, the visual slimming effect can be further enhanced.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the mask body 100 may include a first cover layer 101 and a second cover layer 102, with the second cover layer 102 stacked on top of the first cover layer 101; the overlapping portion of the first cover layer 101 and the second cover layer 102 is configured as the main body portion 110, and the portion of the first cover layer 101 exposed in the second cover layer 102 is configured as the breathable portion 120.

[0035] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the breathable part 120 and the main body 110 can be made of the same material, but with different thicknesses. In this way, the thinner breathable part 120 has better breathability than the relatively thicker main body 110. Alternatively, they can be made of materials with different breathability, that is, the breathable part 120 can be made of a material with better breathability, for example, the fabric used in the breathable part 120 has a lower density than the fabric used in the main body 110.

[0036] Of course, the breathable part 120 and the main body 110 can also be made of some of the same material. In this embodiment, when the second cover layer 102 is stacked on the surface of the first cover layer 101, the breathable part 120 is a single-layer design and the main body 110 is a double-layer design. This makes the breathability of the breathable part 120 greater than that of the main body 110. In this way, when the user wears the protective device 10, with breathing, the exhaled air can form an airflow from the mouth and nose to the cheek inside the mask body 100 and then be discharged from the breathable part 120; while the inhaled air enters the mask body 100 from the breathable part 120 and can form an airflow from the cheek to the mouth and nose inside the mask body 100. This cycle repeats, so that the airflow generated by breathing can flow through the cheek. Compared with the mask body 100 setting scheme where air only enters and exits from the mouth and nose, the mask body 100 of this embodiment can effectively improve the breathability of the cheek area, making it more friendly to people with acne-prone skin.

[0037] Optionally, the first cover layer 101 is made of at least a breathable and antibacterial fabric. The first cover layer 101 may, but is not limited to, being made of at least a nylon-spandex jacquard mesh fabric; that is, it may be made solely of nylon-spandex jacquard mesh fabric, or it may be made of several fabrics including nylon-spandex jacquard mesh fabric. The nylon-spandex jacquard mesh fabric has good breathability and skin-friendliness, thus helping to improve the user's comfort when wearing it. Specifically, the nylon-spandex jacquard mesh fabric has a delicate and soft feel, and is skin-friendly with low friction. The nylon-spandex jacquard mesh fabric has a microporous jacquard structure, giving the fabric excellent breathability. The nylon-spandex jacquard mesh fabric is made of nylon yarn. The antibacterial active substance OPHB in this yarn is derived from the bio-based polymer material PHBV (poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) valerate) prepared from non-GMO corn. Through OF technology, utilizing the physical properties of polymer melt cooling and shrinkage, OPHB is embedded into the shallow layer of the filament through physical and chemical actions during the melt spinning and solidification process. Therefore, it endows the filament yarn with composite special functions such as antibacterial, deodorizing, and antiviral properties. This process gives the fabric permanent antibacterial properties and makes it the only non-leaching antibacterial yarn in China. Testing shows that the fabric is resistant to Propionibacterium acnes and Malassezia. After 50 washes, the antibacterial rate against Propionibacterium acnes was 94.68%, and against Malassezia was 90.71%, meeting the 7A antibacterial standard.

[0038] Optionally, the second cover layer 102 is made of at least a moisture-permeable and breathable fabric. The second cover layer 102 may, but is not limited to, use at least a polyester-spandex elastic jacquard sandwich fabric for support; that is, it may use only polyester-spandex elastic jacquard sandwich fabric, or it may use several fabrics including polyester-spandex elastic jacquard sandwich fabric. Polyester-spandex elastic jacquard sandwich fabric has good stiffness, which helps to achieve the shaping effect of the protective component 10 when worn, improving its aesthetics. Specifically, polyester-spandex elastic jacquard sandwich fabric, commonly known as a "sandwich," consists of polyester monofilaments (commonly known as fishing line) sandwiched in the middle layer of the fabric, supporting the surface with a height of 2mm, giving the fabric excellent stress cushioning. The structure of the hollow layer also provides the fabric with strong stiffness, resulting in excellent three-dimensional shaping after sewing, without the need for external supports. Furthermore, the polyester-spandex elastic jacquard sandwich fabric has a loose plain weave on one side and a microporous jacquard weave on the other, plus a hollow layer supported by monofilaments in the middle. This triple structure provides the fabric with very good breathability and moisture permeability.

[0039] The first cover layer 101 and the second cover layer 102 have an air permeability of 800 mm / s or greater to meet the breathability requirements. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second cover layer 102 has a higher air permeability than the first cover layer 101. This allows exhaled air to pass through the second cover layer 102 more quickly after passing through the first cover layer 101, facilitating faster exhaust of the exhaled air from the mask body 100. Additionally, since exhaled air contains moisture during actual wear, the first cover layer 101 may become wet and adhere to the face. The better breathability of the second cover layer 102 helps exhaled air escape. Furthermore, after removing the protective garment, the better breathability of the second cover layer 102 also helps to accelerate the drying speed of the first cover layer 101.

[0040] Optionally, in some other embodiments, both sides of the main body 110 may be provided with a edging 111. Understandably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown from the perspective, the edging 111 located on the back side of the mask body 100 is not shown. In this embodiment, the breathable portion 120 can be sewn to the main body 110 via the edging 111. Understandably, unlike the aforementioned embodiment where the second cover layer 102 is layered onto the surface of the first cover layer 101, the fabric used for the breathable portion 120 in this embodiment can be knitted together with the fabric used for the main body 110. The sewn edging 111 helps prevent the fabric edges from fraying, while also increasing the fabric strength and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the spliced ​​structure of the mask body 100.

[0041] It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, taking the first cover layer 101 as the inner layer of the mask body 100 and the second cover layer 102 as the outer layer of the mask body 100 as an example, when the protective device 10 is worn, the first cover layer 101 of the mask body 100 is close to the face, and the second cover layer 102 is away from the face. The area of ​​the breathable part 120 corresponding to the second cover layer 102 is a hollow area. In this way, from the perspective of appearance, it can be observed that the breathable part 120 is relatively concave, which can effectively improve the visual effect of slimming the face.

[0042] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the surface of the main body 110 is provided with a crease 112, which corresponds to the center line of the mask body 100. The mask body 100 is mirrored with respect to the crease 112. Understandably, the breathable part 120 is also symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main body 110 with respect to the crease 112.

[0043] Optionally, the main body 110 is provided with a raised area 1121, which can cover the nose when the protective member 10 is worn; and when the protective member 10 is worn, the height of the highest point of the ventilated part 120 is not lower than the height of the raised area 1121 corresponding to the tip of the nose.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the protective component 10 is in the normal wearing state. The protective component 10 has a first direction H, which is configured as the height direction of the protective component 10 when worn. The ventilated part 120 has a highest opening point 121 along the first direction H, and a raised area 1121 is provided along the crease part 112. The raised area 1121 is configured as the area of ​​the protective component 10 that covers the nose when worn. The highest opening point 121 is higher than or level with the height of the raised area 1121 at the tip of the nose when covered in the first direction H.

[0045] Because exhaled air is warmer and rises, if the highest point 121 of the vent 120 is lower than the height of the protrusion 1121 corresponding to the tip of the nose, the air exhaled from the nose will be partially blocked from flowing out of the vent 120. However, in this embodiment, the highest point 121 is higher than or level with the height of the protrusion 1121 corresponding to the tip of the nose in the first direction H. This allows for the formation of an airflow exchange space between the area below the nose and the vent 120, facilitating the flow of exhaled air from the nose through the vent 120.

[0046] It is worth noting that different sizes of protective parts 10, different users, or different wearing habits will all lead to changes in the protruding area 1121 as described above. Therefore, during the design phase of the protective part 10, the setting area of ​​the protruding area 1121 along the setting trajectory of the crease portion 112 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. Then, the position of the protruding area 1121 corresponding to the nose tip can be designed according to the setting area. Subsequently, the fixed position of the highest opening point 121 of the ventilated part 120 in the length direction of the sealing structure 103 can be adjusted so that the flow channel formed by the ventilated part 120 and the protruding area 1121 matching each other in the first direction H can achieve the best circulation flow effect. Therefore, in this application, the specific setting position of the ventilated part 120 and the protruding area 1121 is not specifically limited.

[0047] For example, in one embodiment, the crease 112 may be curved, and the protrusion 1121 may be, but is not limited to, configured at the position where the curvature of the crease 112 is greatest. This helps to simplify the positioning design of the protrusion 1121, thereby making it relatively easy to match the setting position or length of the vent 120 and reducing the difficulty of producing the protective part 10.

[0048] Optionally, the breathable part 120 is positioned near the edge of the main body 110 away from the protrusion 1121. This helps to position the breathable part 120 on both sides of the user's cheeks and relatively far back when the protective piece 10 is worn, thus achieving a visually slimming effect while meeting the breathability requirements.

[0049] Preferably, when the protective piece 10 is worn, the breathable part 120 can cover the masseter muscle area. The masseter muscle is generally quite protruding, and the breathable part 120 covering this area can effectively enhance the visual slimming effect of the face. At the same time, the protrusion of the masseter muscle against the breathable part 120 helps to support the breathable part 120, which, together with the nose support, helps to create a space for airflow exchange between the area below the nose and the breathable part 120, thereby improving breathability.

[0050] Optionally, the ventilated part 120 and the main body part 110 can be arranged on the same side.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mask body 100 may have an edge sealing structure 103. It should be noted that the aforementioned edge sealing structure 103 is set as two edges of the mask body 100 that are spaced apart from each other and symmetrically arranged in the horizontal direction L. A part of the edge sealing structure 103 is connected to the breathable part 120, and the rest is connected to the main body part 110.

[0052] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first direction H of the aforementioned mask body 100 can be configured as the vertical direction when the mask body 100 is folded along the crease 112 and the protective component 10 is placed in a position where the angles α and β between the tangents of the sealing structure 103 and the crease 112 and the horizontal direction L are the same, or the error between the angles α and β is less than 20°. Understandably, this placement of the protective component 10 more closely approximates the user's actual wearing condition, restoring the true breathing path, which is more conducive to the matching design of the highest opening point 121 and the protrusion area 1121 in the first direction H.

[0053] Optionally, the protective component 10 is further provided with ear loops 130 for the user to wear. Preferably, the ear loops 130 are adjustable in length to improve the applicability of the protective component 10.

[0054] It should be noted that the protective device 10 mentioned above in this application is worn in the normal wearing state, that is, the wearer is standing upright and the face is horizontally facing forward.

[0055] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0056] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
