Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a mask for COVID-19 (including a face shield) on which lipstick, makeup foundation, etc. of women do not adhere.

Background Art

[0002] As the novel coronavirus spreads worldwide, most people wear masks or face shields. However, when wearing a mask with makeup, the makeup will adhere. Therefore, in order to prevent makeup and lipstick from adhering to masks, etc., a mouth covering cloth is used or the mask is worn without makeup.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] When wearing a known mask, women have the drawback that lipstick, etc. adheres to the mask, and the lipstick falls off or the mask gets dirty, which causes discomfort. In addition, face shields also have the drawback that the makeup around the face falls off.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] In order to eliminate the above drawbacks, the present invention solves the problem by partially providing a material to which makeup does not adhere on the parts that come into contact with the face, such as the lips.

Effects of the Invention

[0005] Conventional masks cause discomfort as the makeup smudges or the lipstick gets stuck, and the masks had to be replaced each time. Or, by wearing the mask without makeup, one would look plain without makeup when removing the mask, which was unsightly. However, in the present invention, since the contact parts of the face such as the lips are partially made of a non-adhesive material such as tetrafluoroethylene (polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)), the makeup does not adhere. Also, as a result of experiments, the wearing comfort of the mask is comfortable. In addition, since the mask can be used multiple times, it provides an economic benefit. Furthermore, it has the added benefit of being less contaminated and more hygienic than regular masks. Furthermore, masks with no adhesive covering the entire surface can cause difficulty breathing and allow the coronavirus to enter, but this invention allows for easy breathing while preventing the entry of the coronavirus.

[Figure 10] This is the tenth embodiment of the present invention, in which a tetrafluoroethylene PSA tape is attached to a graduated liner, and this is attached to a mask or face shield, where (A) is a front view and (B) is a back view. [Figure 11] This is a front view of the 11th embodiment of the present invention, in which a transparent film is attached to the central opening of the mask. [Figure 12] This is a front view (A) and a side cross-sectional view (B) of the twelfth embodiment of the present invention, in which a transparent film is attached from the lower end to the upper end of a mask having an opening in the center, and the transparent film is extended to the top of the mask. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0007] The first embodiment of the present invention is characterized by partially attaching a PSA tape 3 made of tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or the like to the inside of the mask 1, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 is an unfolded back view of the mask 1, which is attached to the ears by ear loops 2 such as strings or elastic and covers the mouth and nose, as seen from the inside (the side that contacts the face). A pressure-sensitive adhesive tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) PSA tape 3, for example, 25 mm wide and 70 mm long, is attached to the central part of the mask where the mask 1 and the lips come into contact. When this mask is worn, the lips come into contact with the tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) PSA tape portion 3, but lipstick does not adhere to it. Even if a small amount adheres, it can be easily removed with a finger or handkerchief.

[0008] In this first embodiment, part 3 can be any material to which lipstick or the like does not adhere, so the present invention also includes materials other than tetrafluoroethylene PSA, such as silicone, stearic acid, polypropylene, polyester, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate, polyamide, nylon, rayon, and materials containing, coated with, or laminated with copper or (Cu) ions. The inclusion of copper has the effect of quickly killing coronaviruses and bacteria transmitted through the wearer's exhaled breath or inhaled outside air. The size of the tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tape 3 is not limited to the sizes described above, but is approximately 100-15 mm in width and 200-20 mm in length. For example, for an adult mask (nonwoven fabric size approximately 175 mm wide and 95 mm high), a tape 3 width of 25 mm and a length of 70 mm is suitable for an adult male. However, for people with small mouths or small children, the mask is also small (for example, approximately 145 mm wide and 90 mm high), so the size of the tape 3 should be approximately 25 or 13 mm wide and 60 mm long, with the length being small enough to fit inside the mask 1. Furthermore, part 3 should be soft, easily deformable when adhered to the mask, and have a thickness of 0.5 mm or less, preferably 100-30 microns. The material and form should be thin and flexible enough that even if the end of the tape touches the face, the edge of the tape will not scratch the skin or cause discomfort. The corners of the tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) PSA tape can be rounded. This makes it less likely to peel off and is gentler on the skin. For example, the tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) PSA tape 3 used in Figure 1 has a base material of PTFE film or PTFE with glass cloth or the aforementioned materials, and the PSA of the tape is silicone-based, epoxy-based, rubber-based, etc. By using PSA tape, the mask body can be used multiple times instead of being disposable.

[0009] Including the first embodiment, the present invention prevents lipstick and makeup from adhering to the mask 1, making it comfortable to wear, and since the mask can be reused multiple times instead of being discarded after each application of makeup, it provides economic benefits to the user. Furthermore, it has the added benefit of being more hygienic than regular masks.

[0010] In the second embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, on the inner side of the mask 1, at two locations corresponding to the upper lip and lower lip of the wearer, a tape 3 such as tetrafluoroethylene PSA is attached. In the present invention, on the mask 1, two tapes 3 such as tetrafluoroethylene PSA (PTFE) with an adhesive, for example, 25 mm wide and 70 mm long, are adhesively attached to the mask 1 in parallel at intervals. The gap between the two tapes 3 of tetrafluoroethylene PSA (PTFE) or the like is adhesively attached, for example, about 5 mm apart.

[0011] According to this second embodiment, when the mask 1 is worn, the two tapes 3 such as tetrafluoroethylene PSA (PTFE) are adhesively attached with a gap 4, so that breathing can be done from the part of the gap portion 4, and there is an effect that breathing is comfortable. Also, since there are two, it touches the lips in the state where the lips are open (breathing state), so there is no stain due to the contact between the mask and the lips comfortably.

[0012] The third embodiment of the present invention is an invention characterized in that, as shown in FIG. 3, the lips touch a place where a sheet 31 such as tetrafluoroethylene PSA having an arbitrary shape, for example, a heart shape, is attached to the inside of the mask 1. By making it heart-shaped, women like to wear it.

[0013] The fourth embodiment of the present invention is an invention characterized in that, as shown in FIG. 4, the tetrafluoroethylene PSA tape 33 is attached to the inside of the mask up to the left and right ends almost across the width of the mask. Even if the position of the lips is displaced, there is an effect that the lipstick does not smear due to the mask. Even if the position of the lips is displaced, there is an effect that the lipstick does not smear due to the mask. When the mask is worn, it is possible to prevent makeup from coming off due to the contact between the side of the mask and the cheek.

[0014] The fifth embodiment of the present invention is an embodiment in which a tape 32 such as ethylene tetrafluoride PSA is attached to the peripheral portion inside the mask 1, and when the mask 1 is worn, it is partially provided at the portions that come into contact with the face such as the forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. In FIG. 5, the length of the tape 32 is made to match the size of the mask 1 (for example, about 175 mm in width and about 95 mm in length). The width is, for example, 13 mm, but it is not limited to this, and the width can be arbitrarily selected from 50 to 10 mm, and the tape width is appropriately set so that there is a cloth or non-woven fabric portion in the central part where breathing is easier.

[0015] According to this fifth embodiment, since the contact portion with the face when wearing the mask is 32 such as ethylene tetrafluoride PSA, women's makeup and foundation do not adhere to the mask, so even if wearing makeup, it will not peel off and one can wear the mask with confidence.

[0016] The sixth embodiment of the present invention is, as shown in FIG. 6, a combination of FIGS. 2 and 5, and it is not limited to this, and it may also be a combination of FIGS. 1 and 5. As a result, there is an effect that not only the contact portion between the face and the lips when wearing the mask but also the makeup and foundation of the entire face do not adhere to the mask.

[0017] The seventh embodiment of the present invention is, as shown in FIG. 7, an invention characterized in that FIGS. 3 and 5 are combined and a heart-shaped ethylene tetrafluoride PSA tape 31 is provided in the central part. As a result, not only do women's makeup, foundation, and even lipstick not adhere to the mask, but one can wear it while enjoying it, and when discarding the tape, one can also make the surroundings enjoyable.

[0018] The eighth embodiment of the present invention is, as shown in FIG. 8, an invention characterized in that a portion 3 such as ethylene tetrafluoride PSA is attached to a 95 such as an N95 filter or a gauze piece, and when wearing the mask, it is used by sandwiching it between the inside of the mask and the lips as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 7. For the small pieces 95 such as N95 filters or gauze to which the tape 3 such as ethylene tetrafluoride PSA is attached, it is only necessary to sandwich them, and the mask can be used for all commercially available masks. Small pieces of N95 filters or gauze should be, for example, about 70-100 mm wide and 35-45 mm high. The non-cosmetic portion 3 may be extended to both ends without leaving gaps on the sides.

[0019] According to this eighth embodiment, since the small pieces 95 such as N95 filters or gauze to which the non-adherent portion 3 such as tetrafluoroethylene PSA tape is attached are not adhered to the mask 1, the small pieces 95 such as N95 filters or gauze to which the non-adherent portion 3 such as tetrafluoroethylene PSA tape is attached can be easily separated when removing the mask, and at the same time the non-adherent portion 3 such as tetrafluoroethylene PSA tape can be replaced, or the small pieces 95 such as N95 filters or gauze to which the non-adherent portion 3 such as tetrafluoroethylene PSA tape is attached can be replaced, which is a convenient effect. Furthermore, in this invention, by inserting small pieces 95 such as N95 filters or gauze into the inside of the mask, the filtering efficiency of exhaled and blown air can be easily increased. Moreover, since the lips, etc., come into contact with the non-adhering part 3 such as tetrafluoroethylene PSA tape instead of the N95 filter or gauze, which have an unpleasant feel against the mouth, the mask can be worn comfortably.

[0020] The ninth embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 9, is characterized in that, in a mask for COVID-19 and the like (Supermen, face shield) for which the inventor has filed a separate patent application, a non-adherent portion 34 such as tetrafluoroethylene PSA tape is formed on the inside (face side) of the cushion 10 of the transparent plate 6 on which the cushion is provided. Figure 9(A) shows an embodiment in which a transparent plate 6 with a cushion (10) on top is attached to the surface of the cushion 10, and the plate is attached to the head with a rubber band 7. The rubber bands 7 are fixed to both ends of the transparent plate 6, but the present invention also includes cases where there is a single rubber band in the shape of a loop, or where two rubber bands 7 are connected at the back of the head with a fastener, such as a hook-and-loop fastener, at the other ends, and the cushion is not provided. Figure 9(B) shows a face shield comprising a transparent plate with an upper cushion, side vertical cushions, a lower cushion 4, a chin strap provided vertically on the lower right side of the transparent plate with cushions, and a sheet 951 such as an N95 filter or nonwoven fabric at the bottom of the transparent plate. A surface 34 (indicated by lines) where makeup cannot be applied is provided on the cushions 10 provided on the upper part, vertical side parts, and vertically attached chin strap of the transparent plate by attaching tetrafluoroethylene PSA tape. The face shield is then secured to the head with a rubber band 7 attached to the upper side of the transparent plate 6, and the face shield is worn on the face by passing a hook-and-loop fastener 8 provided on the chin strap under the chin and connecting it to a hook-and-loop fastener 8 provided on the transparent plate. The wearer's forehead is brought into contact with the tetrafluoroethylene PSA tape, etc. 34 attached to the surface of the upper cushion, the temples and cheeks are brought into contact with the tetrafluoroethylene PSA tape, etc. 34 attached to the surface of the vertical side cushion, and the chin is brought into contact with the tetrafluoroethylene PSA tape, etc. 34 attached to the surface of the vertical side cushion. The lower part of the transparent plate 6 is located under the wearer's chin when the present invention is worn and is open downwards, so the N95 filter sheet, etc. 951 at the bottom of the transparent plate is positioned around the neck in a bib-like manner. Therefore, the space between the face and the transparent plate is separated from the outside air, and all contact points with the face are made of tetrafluoroethylene PSA tape, etc. 34, so foundation and other makeup do not adhere to it, and it is completely isolated from the outside world, preventing coronavirus infection and allowing for comfortable wear. Figure 9(C) shows the chin strap attached in the direction of the side of the transparent plate, as in Figure 9(B). Furthermore, since the lower cushion 4 of the transparent plate does not come into contact with the face, no tetrafluoroethylene (PSA) tape or similar material 34 is attached to it.

[0021] According to this ninth embodiment, when wearing the present invention, the face comes into contact only with the non-adherent portion 34 such as tetrafluoroethylene PSA tape, so foundation and other cosmetics do not adhere to the face shield, resulting in cleanliness and an extended lifespan for the cushion.

[0022] In the tenth embodiment of the present invention, a decorative non-adhesive material 5 such as tetrafluoroethylene PSA tape is applied to a graduated liner as shown in Figure 10. Figure 10(A) shows the surface view of the liner-equipped tetrafluoroethylene PSA tape 5 of the present invention attached to a graduated liner tape 9, and Figure 10(B) shows the back view of the liner 9. The present invention allows for the creation of Figures 1 to 9 by cutting to a predetermined length, peeling it off the liner 9, and attaching it to a commercially available mask or face shield. The decorative non-adhering portion 5, such as the tetrafluoroethylene PSA tape with liner of the present invention, as shown in Figure 10(A), is, for example, about 30 mm wide and 310 mm long, but is not limited to this, and can be any length with a width of 10 to 50 mm. As shown in Figure (A), a scale is printed on the back of Liner 9 in a square pattern at 10 mm intervals. Figure (B) shows this scale formed not with lines, but with the letters "Dr. NAKAMATS". By cutting along these letters with scissors, the non-adhesive decorative section 5 can be cut to any size, which is very convenient.

[0023] According to this 10th embodiment, when applying makeup and putting on a ready-made mask or face shield, it can be taken out of a pocket or bag, cut without a ruler, and attached, resulting in a mask or face shield that does not get makeup on it immediately.

[0024] An eleventh embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 11, is characterized by providing an opening in the center of the mask and attaching a transparent film 12 to the opening of the mask 11. In Figure 11, the opening is made in the center of the mask, for example, as a rectangle with a height of 30 mm and a width of 70 mm, and the size of the transparent film 12 is made about 5 to 10 mm larger than the opening and is adhered to the mask 11. Adhesion may be performed using double-sided adhesive PSA tape 121, adhering the entire perimeter of the mask opening edge to the transparent film. When this invention is worn, lipstick and other makeup are less likely to adhere to the mask, and even if they do, they can be easily wiped off. In addition, the wearer's mouth movements are visible, their facial expressions are discernible, and even people with hearing impairments can converse. The transparent film is preferably made of PET material with a thickness of approximately 50 to 100 microns. Furthermore, applying a non-adhering coating such as Teflon (registered trademark) can further suppress makeup peeling.

[0025] A twelfth embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 12, is characterized in that a transparent film 12 is attached from the lower end to the upper end of a mask having an opening in the center, and the transparent film 12 is extended to the top of the mask. The transparent film 12 in Figure 12 is about 10 mm wider than the width of the opening of the mask 11 and is about 30 to 100 mm higher than the height of the mask, covering the mouth area with the transparent film 12 and also covering the eyes with the transparent film 12. The opening of the mask 11 is a rectangular opening with a width of approximately 80-120 mm and a height of approximately 200-50 mm. The lower edge of the transparent film 12 is bonded to the lower edge of the mask 11 with adhesive 121, and the upper edge of the mask and the transparent film are also bonded with adhesive 121. When the present invention is worn, the transparent film 12 curves and becomes one with the mask without any gaps, covering the eyes, nose, and mouth, while the mouth area can be seen because it is a transparent film, allowing for lip-reading and preventing lipstick from getting on the face.

[0026] As described above, the present invention provides a mask or face shield that allows for free breathing and prevents makeup such as lipstick or foundation from adhering to it. Therefore, there is no need to discard or wipe the mask or face shield after applying makeup, and it can be used multiple times, thus providing economic benefits to the user. Furthermore, it's comfortable to wear and more hygienic than regular masks. Furthermore, it's not necessary to make the mask from special materials; you can use a regular, publicly available mask to obtain one that won't get lipstick or makeup on it. [Industrial applicability]

[0027] In situations where viruses such as the novel coronavirus are spreading, this invention, which allows for comfortable wearing of masks and face shields without makeup adhering to them, has great industrial potential. [Explanation of symbols]
