[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3226969 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Depending on the material, mask support devices may cause discomfort when worn, such as discomfort where they come into contact with the skin or leaving marks. In addition, because the mask support device is simply sandwiched between the mask and the face, there is a risk that the mask support device may fall off, shift out of place, or stick to the face when putting on or taking off the mask.

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a mask auxiliary tool that is comfortable to the touch and leaves no traces. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a mask auxiliary tool that can prevent the mask auxiliary tool from falling off, shifting out of position, or sticking to the face when putting on or taking off a mask. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a mask auxiliary tool that prevents makeup from sticking to the mask and prevents makeup from coming off. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The mask auxiliary device of the present invention, which solves the above-mentioned problems, is a mask auxiliary device made of flexible fabric that is attached between the mask and the face, and comprises a frame formed in a ring shape surrounding the mouth and nostrils, and a pair of attachment parts for attaching the frame to a pair of ear straps of the mask, and the frame has a mouth corner peripheral abutment part where the periphery of the corners of the mouth and the frame abut, and has an upper corner of the mouth peripheral abutment part where the part between the upper corners of the mouth and the nostrils abuts the frame, and a nose bridge abutment part where the bridge of the nose abuts the frame, and the mask auxiliary device further comprises a support part that is attached by connecting the left and right upper corner of the mouth peripheral abutment parts, and a stretchable support string that is attached by connecting the longitudinal center of the support part and the nose bridge abutment part.

[0007] With this configuration, gaps are provided between the mask and the mouth and nostrils, preventing the fabric inside the mask from sticking tightly to the mouth and nose, making breathing easier.

[0008] In the mask auxiliary device of the present invention which solves the above problems, the support part is made of a flat core material which is freely bendable and able to retain its shape, covered with fabric, and is formed to be curved convexly from the face, forming a space between the area from the mouth to the nostrils and the mask.

[0009] With this configuration, there is a gap between the mask and the mouth and nostrils, and the fabric inside the mask does not stick to the mouth and nose even when taking a deep breath, making breathing easier. Also, since the support string is attached connecting the nose bridge contact part to the center of the support part, the tip of the nose is less likely to come into contact with the inside of the mask, making it easier to breathe through the nose and reducing the breathlessness caused by wearing a mask. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent the lips from directly touching the inside surface of the mask, preventing makeup from being ruined due to friction.

[0010] The mask auxiliary device of the present invention, which solves the above problems, has a frame made of a rod-shaped core material that can be bent freely and retain its shape, and cotton covered with fabric, and the core material of the frame is formed into a three-dimensional shape that fits the wearer's face, and the area from the nostrils to the bridge of the nose is curved in the direction away from the face to follow the shape of the nose.

[0011] With this configuration, the mask can be flexibly and three-dimensionally deformed according to the wearer's preferences and then retains its shape. It feels good against the skin and is comfortable to wear, and is unlikely to cause discomfort even when worn for long periods of time together with a mask.

[0012] In the mask auxiliary device of the present invention which solves the above problems, the attachment section attached to the pair of ear straps has an expandable attachment strap and an attachment tool, one end of the attachment strap is attached to the cheekbone contact section that contacts the cheekbone, above the contact area around the upper corners of the mouth, and the other end of the attachment strap has an attachment tool with an opening that can be attached detachably to the ear straps.

[0013] With this configuration, it can be easily attached to a commercially available mask. The mask auxiliary device will not come off and fall off the mask when putting on or taking off the mask, and the mask auxiliary device 100 will not stick to the face.

[0014] In the mask auxiliary device of the present invention which solves the above problems, the frame has a nose bridge contacting portion, a nostril contacting portion against which the nostrils contact, a cheekbone contacting portion against which the cheekbones contact, a mouth corner periphery contacting portion against which the corners of the mouth contact, a submouth contacting portion against which the lower side of the mouth contacts, and a chin contacting portion against which the chin contacts, the thickness of each portion is within a range of 3 to 9 mm, the nose bridge contacting portion does not contain cotton or core material, the nostril contacting portion is formed thick with more cotton, the cheekbone contacting portion has less cotton, the mouth corner periphery contacting portion has slightly more cotton, the submouth contacting portion has less cotton, and the chin contacting portion has very little cotton, Gaps are formed between the cotton and fabric in each part, and the maximum thickness t1 of the nostril contact part, the maximum thickness t2 of the cheekbone contact part, the maximum thickness t3 of the part contacting around the corners of the mouth, the maximum thickness t4 of the undermouth contact part, and the maximum thickness t5 of the chin contact part are in the following relationship: t1>t3>t2>t4>t5, and the thickness of the nose bridge contact part is 3mm, t1=9mm, t3=7mm.

[0015] With this configuration, the amount of cotton is adjusted to fit the face while soft cotton is contained inside, making it pleasant to the touch, preventing it from shifting position inside the mask and providing an excellent wearing experience.

[0016] The manufacturing method of the mask auxiliary of the present invention that solves the above problems includes the following steps: a first step of cutting the fabric constituting the mask auxiliary into a predetermined shape; a second step of forming an end portion consisting of a folded portion by folding one end of the long side of the frame fabric cut in the first step inward in thirds at a predetermined length with the back side facing up, and passing a rod-shaped core material through the gap in the end portion, and sewing a line closer to the center of the fabric than the core material passed through the end portion; a third step of, after the second step, placing the back side of the frame fabric on each portion, folding the fabric in half along the center line along the long side and sewing it together; and a fourth step of, after the third step, sewing together the short sides where the core material is not placed, to form a ring-shaped frame.

[0017] With this configuration, an appropriate amount of cotton can be placed in each part of the frame, making it possible to produce a mask auxiliary device that is less likely to slip out of place and is comfortable to wear. Effect of the Invention

[0018] According to the mask auxiliary tool of the present invention, it is possible to improve the comfort of the wearer when wearing a mask. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0020] The embodiment of the mask auxiliary tool according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the following examples. Fig. 1 shows an example of a mask auxiliary tool 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 1, the mask auxiliary tool 100 comprises a frame part 1, an attachment part 2, a support part 3, and a support string 4. The attachment part 2 comprises an attachment string 21 and an attachment tool 22 provided at one end of the attachment string 21. The other end of the attachment string 21 is attached symmetrically to both ends of the frame part 1. The mask auxiliary tool 100 is attached to the ear straps of the mask by the attachment tool 22. The support part 3 is attached by connecting the mouth corner peripheral abutment part 14, which is the part where the left and right corners of the mouth are in contact with the frame part 1, and the upper corner of the mouth peripheral abutment part 14a, which is the part where the part between the upper corner of the mouth and the nostrils is in contact with the frame part 1. The upper corner of the mouth peripheral abutment part 14a here is a part of the corner of the mouth peripheral abutment part 14. The support string 4 is attached by connecting the frame portion 1 and nose bridge contact portion 11, where the nose bridge of a mask wearer (hereinafter referred to as the wearer) comes into contact, to the longitudinal center of the support portion 3.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 2(a), when the mask auxiliary tool 100 is worn, the frame part 1 is arranged in a state surrounding the mouth and nostrils of the wearer, and a ventilation opening 5 for ventilation from the mouth and nostrils is formed inside the ring-shaped circle. When the mask auxiliary tool 100 is worn, the nose bridge contact part 11 of the frame part 1 contacts the nose bridge slightly below the wearer's eyes. As shown in FIG. 2(a), one end of the attachment string 21 is a part above the mouth corner upper peripheral contact part 14a, and is attached symmetrically to the cheekbone contact part 13 where the cheekbone and the frame 1 contact. The support part 3 is attached by connecting the left and right mouth corner upper peripheral contact parts 14a located below the part where the attachment string 21 is attached. The support string 4 is attached by connecting the nose bridge contact part 11 and the central part, which is the center of the longitudinal direction of the support part 3. As shown in FIG. 2(a), in plan view, frame portion 1 has nose bridge contact portion 11 that is pointed in a convex shape.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 2(b), by attaching the mask auxiliary tool 100 to the mask 10, an internal space is formed between the mask 10 and the face. The support part 3 is curved in a convex shape toward the center in the longitudinal direction and away from the face, providing a gap between the mask 10 and the mouth and nostrils. When the mask auxiliary tool 100 is worn, the highest bulging part in the center in the longitudinal direction of the support part 3 is located slightly above the tip of the wearer's nose. When the mask auxiliary tool 100 is worn, the support part 3 is formed at a height that does not come into contact with the skin.

[0024] The frame part 1 is made of a rod-shaped core material, cotton for handicrafts (hereinafter, referred to as cotton), and a strip-shaped fabric. The frame part 1 is a ring-shaped body in which the core material and cotton are placed on the fabric, and the core material and cotton are covered with the fabric and connected in a ring shape. The core material is not placed in the nose bridge contact part 11, and the strip-shaped fabric is sewn or glued into a ring shape. The frame part 1 is rounded at the contact part with the face so as to make a soft contact. The core material used in the frame part 1 of this embodiment is formed of a core material having strength, such as a resin material that can be freely bent and can retain its shape. The core material can be curved at the nose tip part of the wearer's face in the direction away from the face, following the shape of the nose, and the other parts can be formed into a three-dimensional shape that follows the wearer's face. By adjusting the degree of curvature of the core material for each part of the frame part 1, the frame part 1 and the wearer's face are formed to contact in a three-dimensional shape along the wearer's face. The fabric used for the frame part 1 of this embodiment is made of a material manufactured by antibacterial and antiviral functional fiber processing technology. The fabric material for the frame part 1 of this embodiment is, for example, a functional material woven from natural fibers such as cotton, or synthetic fibers such as polyester or nylon, which is soft to the touch, absorbs sweat, and dries quickly. The fabric used for the frame part 1 may have a cool touch when worn during hot weather. It is desirable to adjust the color, pattern, etc. of the fabric according to the attributes of the wearer and the season of wear, and in the case of standardization, it is preferable to select a color and pattern suitable for the attributes of the wearer, such as for adults and children, and the season of wear. The cotton used for the frame part 1 of this embodiment is a material that can be washed and does not lose its shape.

[0025] The support part 3 in this embodiment is made of a foldable, flat core material covered with fabric manufactured using antibacterial and antiviral functional fiber processing technology. The support cord 4 is made of a material manufactured using antibacterial and antiviral functional fiber processing technology that is stretchable in the longitudinal direction. It is desirable to adjust the length of the support cord 4 to suit the wearer, and when standardized, it can be formed to a length suitable for adults and children.

[0026] The attachment string 21 of this embodiment is made of a material that is stretchable in the longitudinal direction and manufactured by antibacterial and antiviral functional fiber processing technology. The length of the attachment string 21, the place where it is joined to the frame part 1, the area ratio of the joined part, etc. can be selected arbitrarily. These are preferably adjusted according to the wearer, and when standardized, they can be formed to lengths suitable for adults and children. For example, a flat braided string of woolly spin tape made of 100% polyester or 100% nylon can be used for the attachment string. And, by making the width of the string 7 mm, it is possible to prevent discomfort even when the mask auxiliary tool 100 is worn. The length of the attachment string is preferably adjusted so that the mask auxiliary tool 100 fits within the surface of the mask when the mask auxiliary tool 100 is worn on the mask. The longitudinal length of the mask auxiliary tool 100 when worn on the mask is preferably about 10 cm or more and less than 18 cm, which is the length of the long side of the mask. In addition, it is desirable to adjust the length of the attachment string so that the longitudinal length when the mask auxiliary tool 100 is attached to a child's mask is about 9 cm or more and less than 11 cm, which is the length of the long side of the mask. As a result, the mask auxiliary tool 100 attached inside the mask cannot be seen from the outside when worn, so that it looks no different from a regular mask and it is possible to reduce the sense of incongruity in appearance.

[0027] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a frame part containing cotton. The amount and thickness of cotton differs for each part of the frame part 1. The frame part 1 includes a bridge of the nose contact part 11, a nostril contact part 12 where the nostrils contact, a cheekbone contact part 13 where the cheekbones contact, a mouth corner contact part 14, a sub-mouth contact part 15 where the bottom of the mouth contacts, and a chin contact part 16 where the center of the chin contacts. In this embodiment, the bridge of the nose contact part 11 does not include cotton, the alar contact part 12 is formed with a large amount of cotton and is thick, the cheekbone contact part 13 is formed with less cotton, the mouth corner contact part 14 is formed with a slightly large amount of cotton, the sub-mouth contact part 15 is formed with less cotton, and the chin contact part 16 is formed with very little cotton. The cotton between adjacent parts is smoothly connected. The relationship of the maximum thickness t1 of the alar contact portion 12, the maximum thickness t2 of the cheekbone contact portion 13, the maximum thickness t3 of the mouth corner contact portion 14, the maximum thickness t4 of the lower mouth contact portion 15, and the maximum thickness t5 of the chin contact portion 16 is t1>t3>t2>t4>t5. Here, the thickness of each portion of the frame portion 1 refers to the thickness of the ring-shaped body of the frame portion 1 in the axial direction. The thickness of each portion of the frame portion 1 is within the range of 3 to 9 mm. The thickness of the nose bridge contact portion without cotton is 3 mm. The thickness is thinned along the convex shape of the nose bridge. The maximum thickness t1 of the alar contact portion 12 is 9 mm. The cotton is used thickly along the depression between the nose bridge and the cheekbone. The maximum thickness t3 of the mouth corner contact portion 14 is 7 mm. The cotton is used thickly along the depression around the mouth corner. The ratio of maximum cotton thickness in each part of the frame part 1 is t1:t2:t3:t4:t5=6.5:3.5:5:2.5:2. In this way, by adjusting the cotton thickness for each part of the frame part 1, the frame part 1 and the wearer's face are formed to abut in a three-dimensional shape along the wearer's face.

[0028] As shown in Fig. 4, the attachment tool 22 is provided at one end of the attachment string 21. The attachment tool 22 has an opening through which the ear straps of the mask can be passed. In this embodiment, the attachment tool 22 is a zek can, which is an attachment member shown in Fig. 4. One end of the attachment string 21 is passed through and fixed in the loop of the zek can. The present embodiment is not limited to this, and the attachment string 21 may be passed through the loop of the attachment tool 22 to allow the wearer to adjust the length.

[0029] The type and size of the attachment 22 are not limited to this embodiment and can be selected as desired. The attachment 22 may have an opening that can be opened and closed freely, through which the ear straps of the mask can be passed. Not limited to this embodiment, the support part 3 may be detachably attached to the frame part 1. Not limited to this embodiment, the support strap 4 may be detachably attached to the frame part 1 and the support part 3.

[0030] A mask with a mask auxiliary tool 100 may include at least the mask auxiliary tool 100 and a mask fitted with the mask auxiliary tool 100. A mask set may include fabrics, cotton, and wires that are materials for the mask auxiliary tool 100. A mask set may include sewing tools such as scissors and thread for making the mask auxiliary tool 100.

[0031] FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic diagram of the manufacturing process of the frame part 1. The fabric 6, which is the base material of the frame part 1 and the support part 3 constituting the mask auxiliary device, is cut into a strip (not shown). The back side of the fabric 6 of the cut frame part 1 is placed up, and both ends of the strip-shaped fabric 6 in the longitudinal direction are folded inward. As shown in FIG. 5, one end is folded in three to form an end 17 consisting of a three-fold part. In this embodiment, the end 17 is formed by folding in three to a length of about 7 mm. With the core material 7 passing through the gap formed in the end 17, the line of the end 17 on the center side of the fabric 6 from the core material 7 is sewn. Furthermore, at the end 17, the line on the outside of the fabric 6 from the core material 7 is sewn to gather the fabric 6 with an elastic rubber cord (rubber shirring processing). As shown in FIG. 5, the length of the core material 7 is shorter than the long side of the fabric 6, and the core material 7 is arranged so as not to be included in the center of the part of the fabric 6 corresponding to the nose bridge abutment part 11.

[0032] As shown in Figure 5, from the longitudinal end of fabric 6, there are nose bridge contact portion 11, nostril contact portion 12, cheekbone contact portion 13, mouth corners contact portion 14, under mouth contact portion 15, chin contact portion 16, under mouth contact portion 15, mouth corners contact portion 14, cheekbone contact portion 13, nostril contact portion 12, and nose bridge contact portion 11. Each portion is provided symmetrically with chin contact portion 16 at the center of belt-shaped fabric 6. Cotton 8 is arranged on the back surface of fabric 6 with the amount and thickness of cotton 8 changed for each portion. The bridge of the nose contacting portion 11 does not contain the cotton 8, the alar contacting portion 12 is formed with a large amount of cotton 8, the cheekbone contacting portion 13 is formed with a small amount of cotton 8, the corner of the mouth contacting portion 14 is formed with a slightly large amount of cotton 8, the lower mouth contacting portion 15 is formed with a small amount of cotton 8, and the chin contacting portion 16 is formed with a very small amount of cotton 8. The ratio of the amount of cotton v1 of the alar contacting portion 12, the amount of cotton v2 of the cheekbone contacting portion 13, the amount of cotton v3 of the corner of the mouth contacting portion 14, the amount of cotton v4 of the lower mouth contacting portion 15, and the amount of cotton v5 of the chin contacting portion 16 is v1:v2:v3:v4:v5=5:2:3.5:1:0.5. In this way, by adjusting the thickness and amount of cotton for each part of the frame portion 1, the frame portion 1 and the wearer's face are formed to contact in a three-dimensional shape along the wearer's face.

[0033] Next, with the cotton 8 placed on the fabric 6, the fabric 6 is folded in half along the center line along the long side, and the ends of the long sides are sewn together. After the long sides of the fabric 6 are sewn together, the short sides on which the core material 7 is not placed are sewn together to form the ring-shaped frame part 1. At this time, the long sides of the folded fabric 6 form the edge of the ring-shaped body of the frame part 1, and the center line of the fabric 6 folded back into a bag form the outer edge part 19, which is the edge of the outer ring of the ring-shaped body. The core material 7 is inserted into the inner edge part 18, which is the edge of the inner ring of the ring-shaped body formed by folding the long sides of the fabric 6 in half and sewing them together. The end part 17 that has been subjected to the rubber shirring process overlaps with the inner edge part 18, so that the shape of the ring-shaped ring is less likely to be distorted. As shown in FIG. 5, the part where the short sides are sewn together becomes the nose bridge contact part 11. Both ends of the core material 7 are sewn to the nose bridge contact part 11. By sewing both ends of the core material 7 to the nose bridge contact portion 11, the core material 7 is pulled, and the ring-shaped loop is less likely to lose its shape. The nose bridge contact portion 11 is sewn to a moderate thickness to prevent the frame portion from shifting. In this embodiment, the nose bridge contact portion 11 is thinned by zigzag sewing. The thickness of each part of the completed frame is within a range of 3 to 9 mm, and the width of the short side of the frame portion 1 is 16 mm. The width of the short side of the frame portion 1 here refers to the width D (FIG. 5) between the outer edge portion 19 and the inner edge portion 18 of the ring-shaped body of the frame portion 1. If the width D of the short side of the frame portion 1 is 15 mm, which is shorter than 16 mm, the amount of cotton that can be contained is reduced, and the core material hits the thin part such as the chin contact portion 16, reducing comfort. If the width D of the short side of the frame 1 is 17 mm, which is longer than 16 mm, the frame 1 becomes too large and does not fit well within the surface of the mask when worn. In each part of the completed frame 1, there is a gap between the cotton and the fabric, and the frame 1 is in a soft state.

[0034] Next, the operation of the mask auxiliary tool 100 will be described.

[0035] Wearing the mask auxiliary tool 100 creates space inside the mask. The support part 3 and support string 4 provided on the frame part 1 create a gap between the mask and the mouth and nostrils, preventing the fabric inside the mask from sticking to the mouth and nose even when taking a deep breath, making breathing easier. In addition, since the support string 4 is provided connecting the nose bridge contact part 11 to the center of the support part 3, the tip of the nose is less likely to come into contact with the inside of the mask, making it easier to breathe through the nose and reducing the sense of breathlessness that accompanies wearing a mask.

[0036] The entire mask auxiliary tool 100 is covered with a soft fabric 6, contains soft cotton 8 inside, and has an appropriate gap between the fabric and the cotton, so it feels good on the skin and is comfortable to wear. The entire mask auxiliary tool 100 has a shape-retaining function, so it can be flexibly and three-dimensionally deformed according to the wearer's preferences and retain its shape. The mask auxiliary tool 100 is made of a material manufactured using antibacterial and antiviral functional fiber processing technology, and is made of a functional material that feels good on the skin and has sweat-absorbing and quick-drying properties, so it is comfortable to wear and does not feel uncomfortable even when worn for a long time with a mask.

[0037] The mask auxiliary tool 100 can be easily attached to a commercially available mask. By hanging the attachment tool 22 of the mask auxiliary tool 100 on the ear straps of the mask, the mask auxiliary tool 100 can be easily attached to the face side of the mask. In addition, when the mask is removed, the mask auxiliary tool 100 does not come off the mask and fall off, and the mask auxiliary tool 100 does not stick to the face. When the mask is put back on, the mask auxiliary tool 100 can be easily placed in a fixed position while still attached to the mask. If the attachment tool 22 is a snap hook having a freely openable loop through which the ear straps are inserted, the possibility of the mask auxiliary tool 100 coming off the mask is further reduced, and the mask auxiliary tool 100 will not fall off when worn while sleeping or exercising.

[0038] By wearing the mask auxiliary tool 100, the mouth and nose are covered while maintaining space around the mouth and nostrils without the mask tightly fitting to the face, so the lips are prevented from directly touching the inside surface of the mask, and makeup can be prevented from being ruined due to friction. Also, makeup can be prevented from being ruined due to sweat at least in the areas around the mouth and nostrils where the mask is not tightly fitting.

[0039] Since the mask auxiliary device 100 can be attached and detached to the mask, it can be removed from the mask and washed, so it is easy to keep clean when in use. It dries quickly after washing and is easy to handle, making it easy to handle. [Explanation of symbols]
