Open adjustable sleep mask

Abstract

This invention provides an open-type adjustable sleep mask with a strapless open-frame main body. The main body includes an outer frame and an inner frame embedded within it. The inner frame is a deformable metal insert. The outer frame comprises a foam layer and a fabric layer from the inside out. The main body has a front section and a pair of arms extending backward from the front. The front section provides light protection for the eye area. The main body is configured to achieve a strapless, pressure-free fit through structured tension generated by the pair of arms extending backward and the deformable metal insert. The rearward-extending arms replace the tension of traditional straps to generate structured tension, concentrating compression on the eye area without needing to cover the entire head. Simultaneously, the addition of deformable metal inserts within these arms allows the mask's fit to be finely adjusted according to individual facial contours, improving comfort and stability.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sleep mask technology, specifically relating to an open-type adjustable sleep mask. Background Technology

[0002] To improve sleep quality, more and more people are choosing to use sleep masks during travel, such as on trains and planes, and during daily rest periods. Sleep masks primarily provide light blocking. Currently, there are two main types of sleep masks. The first type is the loop / elastic band sleep mask, which uses elastic or Velcro straps to secure the mask around the user's head. It relies on the even tension of the straps to compress the foam and seal the eye area to block light. This type of sleep mask may cause discomfort, headaches, or pressure on the forehead and sides of the head. The second type is the rigid frame or molded sleep mask, which generally uses a pre-formed structure to fit common facial contours. However, it still relies on the stability of the loop strap and lacks the ability to be adjusted to individual user preferences. It may be too rigid, resulting in poor comfort for users with different facial shapes.

[0003] Therefore, traditional eye masks, whether elastic or rigid, often struggle to balance comfort and adjustability, leading to problems such as slipping, headband discomfort, or poor light sealing. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the design limitations of existing technologies that rely on elastic band tension or pre-formed rigid frames, this utility model provides an ergonomic, convenient and practical open-type adjustable sleep mask.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an open-type adjustable sleep mask, the main feature of which is that it has a strapless open-frame body, the strapless open-frame body includes an outer skeleton and an inner skeleton embedded in the outer skeleton, the inner skeleton is a deformable metal insert, the outer skeleton includes a foam layer and a fabric layer from the inside to the outside, the strapless open-frame body has a front part and a pair of arms extending backward from the front part, the front part is used to provide light blocking for the eye area, and the strapless open-frame body is configured to have a strapless pressure fit by generating a structured tension through the pair of arms extending backward from the front part and the deformable metal insert.

[0006] Preferably, the support arm has a preset curvature that conforms to ergonomics, so that the pressure is evenly distributed on both sides of the user's head, the back of the head and the neck area.

[0007] Preferably, the front portion is an arc-shaped front portion to conform to the eye area.

[0008] Preferably, the sleep mask is a one-piece structure.

[0009] Preferably, the sleep mask has a multi-piece structure, with each arm connected to the front via a hinge, making the arm foldable.

[0010] Preferably, the deformable metal insert, foam layer, and fabric layer are all single-layer or multi-layer structures.

[0011] Preferably, the strapless open-frame main body is an open-glasses type main body.

[0012] Preferably, the beltless open frame body is a laminated structure.

[0013] Preferably, the outer skeleton includes an upper outer skeleton located above the inner skeleton and a lower outer skeleton located below the inner skeleton. The upper outer skeleton sequentially includes an outer fabric layer and a first-hardness sponge layer, with the first-hardness sponge layer located between the outer fabric layer and the inner skeleton. The lower outer skeleton sequentially includes a skin-contact fabric layer, a second-hardness sponge layer, and a third-hardness sponge layer, with the third-hardness sponge layer located between the inner skeleton and the second-hardness sponge layer.

[0014] Preferably, the hardness of the first hardness sponge layer is set to be greater than the hardness of the third hardness sponge layer, and the hardness of the third hardness sponge layer is set to be greater than the hardness of the second hardness sponge layer, wherein both the second hardness sponge layer and the third hardness sponge layer are memory foam layers.

[0015] This invention relates to an open-type adjustable sleep mask that uses rearward-extending arms to replace the tension of traditional straps, thereby generating structured tension to concentrate and compress the eye area without covering the entire head. At the same time, by incorporating deformable metal inserts within these arms, the fit of the mask can be finely adjusted according to individual facial contours, improving comfort and stability.

[0023] To make the technical problem solved by this utility model clearer, the present utility model is further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figures 1 to 6 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of Embodiment 1 of the open-type adjustable sleep mask of this utility model. Embodiment 1 features a strapless open-frame body 100, which includes an outer frame 110 and an inner frame 120 embedded within the outer frame. The inner frame 120 is a deformable metal insert. The outer frame comprises a foam layer and a fabric layer from the inside out. The strapless open-frame body 100 has a front portion and a pair of arms extending rearward from the front portion, specifically a right arm 121 and a left arm 122. The right arm 121 is embedded with a deformable metal insert. The right section 121 of the insert, the left support arm 122 is embedded with the deformable metal insert left section 122, and the front part is embedded with the deformable metal insert middle section. The front part is used to provide light protection for the eye area. The pair of supports are used to provide adjustable tension through the deformable metal insert right section 121 and deformable metal insert left section 122 respectively. The strapless open frame body is configured to have a strapless pressure fit by generating structured tension through the pair of supports extending from the front to the rear and the deformable metal insert.

[0026] The deformable metal inserts allow for manual deformation, bending, or adjustment of the arms to suit individual needs, adjusting the tension to ensure a comfortable seal and enhanced light-blocking effect. By allowing users to personalize and customize the compression of the entire goggle, rather than using uniform strap pressure, this goggle eliminates headband discomfort and maintains a stable and ergonomic fit during head movement, without applying additional pressure to the sides of the head or temples.

[0027] This novel sleep mask is particularly suitable for use during long-haul flights when frequent adjustments are needed, avoiding discomfort from straps and adapting to confined seating spaces and varying cabin lighting. Furthermore, this design is also suitable for home, office, and other environments, providing a more comfortable and convenient user experience.

[0028] In this invention, the strapless open-frame main body of the sleep mask is an open-glasses type main body, which can also be called a strapless eye mask. That is, it provides tension only through a pair of arms, without the need for a ring strap / elastic strap, etc., and can be operated with one hand. Users can put on or take off the eye mask with one hand, which is especially suitable for use in travel or confined spaces. It also avoids going around the scalp, reduces contact with hair, and prevents hair from getting tangled or pulled.

[0029] The deformable metal insert, foam layer, and fabric layer can all be single-layer or multi-layer structures to optimize flexibility and strength and facilitate tension adjustment.

[0030] In Embodiment 1 of this utility model, each of the arms has a preset curvature conforming to ergonomics, so that the pressure is evenly distributed on both sides of the user's head, the back of the head, and the neck area, thereby reducing local pressure and improving the comfort of wearing for a long time. For example, the curvature profile of the arm can be designed to match the curvature profile of the head and neck of the human body in contact with the arm, conforming to ergonomics. Figure 5 As shown, the open-style glasses-like main body, combined with curved arms, ensures that the eye mask can naturally hang around the user's neck when not in use, solving the discomfort caused by the elastic band of traditional elastic eye masks wrapping around the neck. Simultaneously, the front is curved to conform to the eye area.

[0031] The sleep mask has a multi-piece structure, with each arm connected to the front via a hinge 130. The arms are designed to fold inwards into a compact storage position and can be unfolded with one hand for easy wearing and carrying. Users can quickly unfold and fold the arms, preventing them from getting tangled or snagged on items during storage. Figure 3 As shown, each arm can be folded at its hinge, facilitating compact storage and portability. Meanwhile, as... Figure 3 As shown, in the folded state of the sleep mask, due to the curved design of the front, there is a certain space between the folded arm and the front, which supports one-handed unfolding and is convenient to use.

[0032] In this invention, the sleep mask has a strapless open frame with a laminated structure. Single or multiple layers of breathable fabric, single or multiple layers of foam, and deformable metal inserts are laminated together in a predetermined manner to form the front and support arms of the laminated structure.

[0033] like Figure 6As shown, the outer skeleton 110 includes an upper outer skeleton located above the inner skeleton and a lower outer skeleton located below the inner skeleton. The upper outer skeleton sequentially includes an outer fabric layer 111 and a first hardness sponge layer 112, with the first hardness sponge layer located between the outer fabric layer and the inner skeleton. The lower outer skeleton sequentially includes a skin contact fabric layer 113, a second hardness sponge layer 114, and a third hardness sponge layer 115, with the third hardness sponge layer located between the inner skeleton and the second hardness sponge layer.

[0034] The first hardness sponge layer is set to have a harder hardness than the third hardness sponge layer, and the third hardness sponge layer is set to have a harder hardness than the second hardness sponge layer. That is, the first hardness sponge layer is a high-hardness sponge layer, the third hardness sponge layer is a medium-hardness sponge layer, and the second hardness sponge layer is a low-hardness sponge layer. Both the second and third hardness sponge layers are memory foam layers.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] like Figure 6 The image shows Embodiment 2 of the sleep mask of this utility model. The sleep mask has a strapless open-frame main body 200, which includes an outer skeleton 230 and an inner skeleton 220 embedded within the outer skeleton 230. The inner skeleton 220 is a deformable metal insert. The outer skeleton 230 includes a foam layer and a fabric layer from the inside out. The strapless open-frame main body 200 has a front portion and a pair of support arms 210 extending rearward from the front portion, specifically a right support arm and a left support arm. The right support arm has a right section of the deformable metal insert embedded within it, the left support arm has a left section of the deformable metal insert embedded within it, and the front portion has a middle section of the deformable metal insert embedded within it. The front portion is used to provide light-blocking for the eye area. The pair of support arms, through the right and left sections of the deformable metal inserts respectively, provide adjustable tension. The main difference between this sleep mask and the sleep mask of Example 1 is that this sleep mask has a one-piece structure, that is, the front and the support arm are integrally laminated, eliminating hinge parts to meet different market demands.

[0037] This invention relates to an open-type adjustable sleep mask that uses rearward-extending arms to replace the tension of traditional straps, thereby generating structured tension to concentrate and compress the eye area without covering the entire head. At the same time, by incorporating deformable metal inserts within these arms, the fit of the mask can be finely adjusted according to individual facial contours, improving comfort and stability.

[0038] The above descriptions are specific embodiments of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications and variations made to the technical concept of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
