Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is that when the edge of the lens is attached to the periphery of the hole of the adhesive film, the outer surface of the edge is attached to the adhesive surface inside the periphery of the hole, so that when the adhesive film is attached around the user's eyes, the inner surface of the edge directly contacts around the user's eyes, the adhesive surface of the periphery of the hole is attached to the outer surface of the edge, and even if the facial muscles around the eyes move or an external force is applied to the lens, the lens is not separated from the adhesive film, and it is to provide an eye protection waterproof patch that can prevent moisture from flowing into between the edge of the lens and the periphery of the hole of the adhesive film.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is that the edge of the lens is curved left and right so as to conform to the curved surface around the eyes, so that the edge adheres better around the eyes than a flat one, and no stress is generated when the adhesive film is attached around the eyes, and it is to provide an eye protection waterproof patch that can prevent the left and right sides of the edge from being separated from the adhesive film due to stress.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0008] An example of the eye protection waterproof patch according to the present invention for achieving the above object is A waterproof patch for eye protection, comprising a lens with an edge formed at the periphery of the body, an adhesive film with a hole periphery joined to the edge of the lens, a high-adhesion paper (paper used in Korea, such as paper, cloth, or thin sheet cuttings, for laminating) attached to the back of the adhesive film, and a front release paper attached to the front of the adhesive film. When attaching the edge of the lens to the hole periphery of the adhesive film, the outer surface of the edge is attached to the inner adhesive surface of the hole periphery.

[0009] When the adhesive film is attached around the user's eye so that the above lens covers the user's eyeball, the inner surface of the edge of the lens directly abuts around the user's eye, and the inner adhesive surface of the hole periphery is arranged on the outer surface of the edge.

[0010] The above edge is characterized by a width of 3 mm ± 1 mm.

[0011] The above lens is characterized in that the body and the edge are curved left and right so as to correspond to the curved surface around the eye.

[0012] The above edge is characterized by having a radius of curvature of 48 mm ± 1 mm.

[0013] The above lens is characterized by a left-right width of 50 mm, a height of 40 mm, and a left-right radius of curvature of the body of 26 mm ± 1 mm.

[0014] The above adhesive film is made of a soft and transparent polyurethane material, an elliptical hole is formed corresponding to the lens, and an adhesive is applied on one side.

[0015] The above high-adhesion paper is characterized in that the side end portion protrudes 3 mm to 4 mm laterally from the side end portion of the front release paper, a hole corresponding to the lens body is formed in the center, a peeling portion is formed around the hole, and a cutting line is formed in the center of the peeling portion.

[0016] Thus, when the peeling portion of the high-adhesion paper is separated from the high-adhesion paper with the adhesive film disposed between the front peeling paper and the high-adhesion paper, the peripheral portion of the hole of the adhesive film is exposed inside the hole of the high-adhesion paper, and after the main body of the lens passes through the hole of the adhesive film, the edge portion of the lens is joined to the peripheral portion of the hole of the adhesive film.

[0017] The lens further includes an upper wing portion and a lower wing portion formed at the edge portion, and the upper wing portion and the lower wing portion are disposed opposite to each other vertically with the main body of the lens as the center.

[0018] The upper wing portion is characterized in that the left and right width is smaller than the left and right width of the lower wing portion, and the height is formed 2 to 2.5 times higher than the height of the lower wing portion.

[0019] The lens is characterized in that the main body is formed in a lying water droplet shape.

Advantages of the Invention

[0020] Thus, when the waterproof patch for eye protection according to the present invention has the adhesive film attached around the user's eye, the lower surface of the edge portion directly abuts against the periphery of the user's eye, and the adhesive surface of the hole periphery is disposed on the outer surface of the edge portion. Even when the facial muscles around the eye move or an external force is applied to the lens, the lens is not separated from the adhesive film, and it is possible to prevent moisture from flowing into the space between the edge portion of the lens and the peripheral portion of the hole of the adhesive film. By curving the edge portion to the left and right so that the edge portion of the lens corresponds to the curved surface around the eye, the edge portion adheres better to the periphery of the eye than a flat one, and no stress is generated at the edge portion when the adhesive film is attached around the eye, and it is possible to prevent the left and right sides of the edge portion from being separated from the adhesive film due to the stress.

[0021] In addition, the waterproof patch for eye protection according to the present invention includes characteristics and effects described in the prior art such as portability, ease of use, hygiene, waterproofing and anti-fogging, and anti-virus coating.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0023] Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Such description is not intended to limit the present invention to specific embodiments, and it should be understood that all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives included in the spirit and technical scope of the present invention are included. Similar reference numerals are used for similar components while explaining each drawing, and all terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, have the same meaning as generally understood by those having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs.

[0024] In this specification, when a certain part "includes" a certain component, this means that, unless otherwise stated to the contrary, it does not exclude other components, but rather can further include other components. The term "inner" means relatively closer compared to the "outer" with reference to the skin around the user's eye where the adhesive film is attached to a certain component. Conversely, the term "outer" means relatively farther compared to the "inner" with reference to the skin around the user's eye where the adhesive film is attached to a certain component.

[0025] Referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, the waterproof patch for eye protection according to the present invention includes a lens 110 in which an edge portion 112 is formed at the periphery of a main body 111, an adhesive film 120 in which a hole peripheral portion 123 is joined to the edge portion 112 of the lens 110, a backing paper 130 attached to the back surface of the adhesive film 120, and a front release paper 140 attached to the front surface of the adhesive film 120.

[0026] Here, when the edge portion 112 of the lens 110 is attached to the hole peripheral portion 123 of the adhesive film 120 in the waterproof patch for eye protection according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, the outer surface 112a of the edge portion 112 is attached to the inner adhesive surface 123a of the hole peripheral portion 123.

[0027] Thereby, as shown in FIG. 6, when the adhesive film 120 is attached around the user's eye so that the lens 110 covers the user's eyeball 160, the inner surface 112b of the edge portion 112 of the lens 110 directly abuts around the user's eye, and the inner adhesive surface 123a of the hole peripheral portion 123 is disposed on the outer surface 112a of the edge portion 112. Thus, even when the facial muscles around the eye move or an external force is applied to the lens 110, the edge portion 112 of the lens 110 is not separated from the hole peripheral portion 123 of the adhesive film 120. Also, since the outer surface 112a of the edge portion 112 is attached to the inner adhesive surface 123a of the hole peripheral portion 123, there is an advantage that moisture can be prevented from flowing into the space between the edge portion 112 of the lens 110 and the hole peripheral portion 123 of the adhesive film 120.

[0028] The above-mentioned edge portion 112 has a width W1 of 3 mm ± 1 mm. Generally, having a width of 3 mm may be appropriate for maintaining the adhesive force with the adhesive film 120 while minimizing the area in close contact with the user's face. However, the above-mentioned error may occur during the manufacturing process.

[0029] Referring to FIG. 5 again, the above-mentioned lens 110 is curved left and right so that the main body 111 and the edge portion 112 correspond to the curved surface around the eye. At this time, the above-mentioned edge portion 112 has a radius of curvature R1 of 48 mm ± 1 mm.

[0030] Thereby, the edge portion 112 curved left and right adheres better to the area around the eye than a flat edge portion. When the adhesive film 120 is attached around the eye, no stress is generated in the edge portion 112, and it is possible to prevent the left and right sides of the edge portion 112 from separating from the hole peripheral portion 123 of the adhesive film 120 due to stress.

[0031] Referring to FIG. 7, the above-mentioned lens 110 has a left and right width S1 of 50 mm, a height h1 of 40 mm, and the left and right radius of curvature R2 (see FIG. 5) of the main body 111 is formed to be even larger compared to a conventional lens to the extent of 26 mm ± 1 mm.

[0032] In this way, in the present invention, since the lens 110 is formed to be large enough to cover the eye, it does not cause inconveniences such as the edge of the lens 110 being placed on the eyelid when the user wears it.

[0033] And the above-mentioned lens 110 has the same composition and physicochemical properties as the cap portion disclosed in the "Eye Protection Cap" of the applicant's Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0487330.

[0034] The above-mentioned adhesive film 120 is made of a soft and transparent polyurethane material, an elliptical hole 121 (see FIG. 4) is formed corresponding to the lens, and an adhesive is applied on one side.

[0035] Referring to FIGS. 4 and 7, the high sticker 130 has side ends 132 protruding 3 mm to 4 mm to the side of the side ends 141 of the front release paper 140, a hole 133 corresponding to the lens body 111 formed in the center, a release portion 135 formed at the periphery of the hole 133, and a cutting line 136 formed in the center of the release portion 135.

[0036] Referring to FIG. 8, thus, with the adhesive film 120 disposed between the front release paper 140 and the high sticker 130, when the release portion 135 of the high sticker 130 is separated from the high sticker 130, the hole peripheral portion 123 of the adhesive film 120 is exposed inside the hole 133 of the high sticker 130, so that after the body 111 of the lens 110 passes through the hole 121 of the adhesive film 120, the edge 112 of the lens 110 is joined to the hole peripheral portion 123 of the adhesive film 120.

[0037] As such, as shown in FIG. 4, the high sticker 130 is formed with the release portion 135, and as shown in FIG. 8, after separating the release portion 135, there is an advantage that the edge 112 of the lens 110 can be easily joined to the hole peripheral portion 123 of the adhesive film 120. Also, the side ends 131 of the high sticker 130 protrude 3 mm to 4 mm to the side of the side ends 141 of the front release paper 140, and when the user uses it, the protruding portion on the side can be taken to easily separate the high sticker 130 from the adhesive film 120.

[0038] Referring to FIG. 4 again, the front release paper 140 is finally separated after the adhesive film is pasted around the user's eyes, a pentagonal hole 141 is formed in the center, and a cutting line 143 is formed in the upper center.

[0039] Referring to FIG. 9, the lens 110 further includes an upper wing portion 116 and a lower wing portion 118 formed at the edge 112.

[0040] The upper wing portion 116 and the lower wing portion 118 are arranged to face each other vertically with the main body 111 of the lens 110 as the center. The upper wing portion 116 is formed such that the left - right width W3 is smaller than the left - right width W4 of the lower wing portion 118, and the height h3 is 2 to 2.5 times higher than the height h4 of the lower wing portion 118.

[0041] Thereby, when the adhesive film is attached around the user's eyes, in addition to the edge 112 of the lens 110, the upper wing portion 116 adheres closely around the eyebrows, and the lower wing portion 118 adheres closely to the area below the eyes. As the adhesive force of the lens increases, the user's sense of stability is improved.

[0042] Referring to FIG. 10, as another alternative, the lens 110 is formed in a water - droplet shape with the main body 111 lying horizontally.

[0043] The water - droplet shape of the lens 110 is less affected by position changes such as wrinkling the nose when the lens is arranged around the eyes, and has more advantageous advantages in ensuring the user's field of view.

[0044] As described above, in the present invention, the description has been made based on specific matters such as specific components, limited embodiments, and drawings. However, this is only provided to assist in a more overall understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above - described embodiments. Those with ordinary knowledge in the field to which the present invention pertains can make various modifications and deformations from these descriptions.

[0045] Therefore, the spirit of the present invention should not be limited to the above - described embodiments. It can be said that not only the scope of the following claims, but also all those with equivalent or equivalent deformations belong to the scope of the idea of the present invention.
