Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mask technology, specifically to a mask that improves stiffness and support. Background Technology

[0002] As we all know, masks are used to filter pollutants in the air and are composed of several filter layers. The most common protective masks on the market now are medical protective masks and KN95 masks. These two standard masks are usually made of more than five layers of materials, including two layers of non-woven fabric, two layers of meltblown fabric, and one layer of fluffy fabric.

[0003] Because all three materials are relatively soft, the mask will deform when the wearer inhales forcefully or speaks, causing the mask to collapse or bend around the face. Wearing a mask in this situation will reduce the wearer's comfort and needs to be optimized. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mask with improved stiffness and support, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that the mask is prone to collapse or bends against the face when inhaling or speaking forcefully.

In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0035] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-8 A type of mask with enhanced stiffness and support, applicable to everyday masks, medical masks, or industrial masks.

[0036] This embodiment focuses on the KN95 mask, also known as a folding mask. In this embodiment, it includes a main body 1, the inner side of which covers the user's face and filters air pollutants. The main body 1 consists of an outer layer, an inner layer, and a middle layer. The outer layer is a waterproof and oil-resistant non-woven fabric that blocks liquids and particulate matter. The inner layer is a soft non-woven fabric that reduces skin friction. The middle layer is a meltblown fabric (polypropylene) that filters bacteria, viruses, and other tiny particles.

[0037] A nose bridge strip 2, located at the top of the main body 1, is used to deform the top of the main body 1 to fit snugly against the user's nose bridge. The nose bridge strip 2 can be made of a material with low resilience to improve the fit between the mask and the body. The nose bridge strip 2 can be made of flexible metal (such as aluminum) or wrapped with wire. The width of the nose bridge strip 2 is 2.5-10mm, and the thickness is 0.3-1mm. The nose bridge strip 2 is malleable; the user can manually bend the strip to conform to the contours of the nose bridge.

[0038] Wearing piece 3, connected to the main body 1, is used to wrap around the user's ears or head and neck to enable the main body 1 to be worn.

[0039] As a key embodiment of this invention, the mask also includes an inner lining 4, disposed on the main body 1, for supporting the main body 1 to prevent it from deforming and collapsing onto the user's face. According to some embodiments of this invention, the inner lining 4 is made of a breathable material, which helps maintain smooth breathing.

[0040] Specifically, the inner lining 4 can be made of multiple layers of nonwoven fabric. The fiber structure and pore distribution of the nonwoven fabric create gas channels, allowing air to flow. In practice, the nonwoven fabric can be subjected to high temperature and pressure to form a hardening substance between the nonwoven fibers, thereby increasing its rigidity and providing the necessary support for stiffness.

[0041] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the planar area of ​​the inner lining 4 is not equal to the planar area of ​​the main body 1. Typically, the planar area of ​​the inner lining 4 is smaller than the planar area of ​​the main body 1. In practice, it is preferable that the inner lining 4 occupies approximately 2 / 3, 1 / 2, or 3 / 5 of the planar area of ​​the main body 1 to achieve a supporting effect. This reduces the material used for the inner lining 4 while ensuring wearing comfort.

[0042] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the main body 1 includes an inner layer, an outer layer, and several filter layers, with the filter layers sandwiched between the inner and outer layers. The inner lining 4 is disposed on any one of these layers. All of these configurations achieve a rigid support effect. For ease of reading, the accompanying drawings of this embodiment show the inner lining 4 installed on the inner layer, which also represents the simplest manufacturing process. However, as a preferred embodiment, the inner lining 4 is disposed between the inner and outer layers to avoid affecting the overall integrity and aesthetics. During manufacturing, the inner lining 4 can be fixed to the main body 1 by ultrasonic welding.

[0043] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the material hardness of the inner lining 4 is greater than the material hardness of any layer of the main body 1, so as to provide support.

[0044] Specifically, according to some embodiments of this utility model, the inner lining 4 includes a left side piece 5 and a right side piece 6. The left side piece 5 and the right side piece 6 are symmetrically arranged on the main body 1 with the user's nose bridge as the center line, and the left side piece 5 and the right side piece 6 can be folded towards each other as the main body 1 opens and closes. The left side piece 5 and the right side piece 6, made of non-woven fabric, have bendable characteristics and can be opened or closed simultaneously with the main body 1. The left side piece 5 and the right side piece 6 correspond to the left and right sides of the wearer's cheeks respectively to form a support structure.

[0045] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the top of the inner liner 4 is lower than the top of the main body 1, and the bottom of the inner liner 4 is higher than the bottom of the main body 1. This arrangement allows the bottom of the inner liner 4 to avoid the weld seam.

[0046] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the left side part 5 and the right side part 6 are integrally formed, which facilitates overall cutting. During welding, it is only necessary to fold the left side part 5 and the right side part 6 in half and then attach them to the main body 1 for welding.

[0047] To adapt to the structure of folding masks and to ensure a firm and supportive fit, specific details are required. Figure 3 As illustrated in some embodiments of this utility model, the ends of the left side member 5 and the right side member 6 that are in contact are offset upwards compared to the ends that are not in contact. This upward offset is limited to the bottom of the nose bridge strip 2. This design narrows the contact area between the wearer's chin and the mask, and increases the contact area between the inner lining 4 and the wearer's chin. At the same time, the upward shift increases the coverage area of ​​the mask at the wearer's nose bridge, providing good rigid support for the wearer's mouth and nose movements, and ensuring wearing stability.

[0048] Example 2: Please refer to the following for further details. Figures 1-8 This embodiment focuses on a regular flat mask, except for the following inconsistencies, all other embodiments are described in Example 1.

[0049] In order to adapt to the structure of a flat mask, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the ends of the left side member 5 and the right side member 6 that are in contact are parallel to the ends that are not in contact, forming a conventional plane.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. The patent protection scope of the present utility model shall be determined by the claims. Similarly, any equivalent structural changes made based on the description and drawings of the present utility model shall also be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
