Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a thermal mask for applying heat generated from a heat generating portion to the face. [Background technology]

[0002] Heating elements commonly referred to as "disposable hand warmers" are a type of heating device that uses heat generated by the oxidation reaction of the iron powder, and are made by sealing a heat-generating agent (heat-generating composition) whose main component is iron powder inside a breathable bag material.

[0003] The heating element generally has a structure in which a heating agent is sealed inside a rectangular bag, but recently, face mask-type heating elements have also been developed that can apply heat to the face for purposes such as beauty and tension relief (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2014-97426 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In Patent Document 1, two ear loops are provided on each of the left and right edges of the mask body, aligned vertically, to ensure stable fixation of the face mask to the face. That is, the upper ear loops are placed over the ears to pull the upper part of the mask body to the face, and the lower ear loops are placed further over the ears to pull the lower part of the mask body toward the chin, thereby improving the fit to the face.

[0006] However, the portion of the mask body where the heat-generating agent is present is less flexible, making it difficult to wear conventional face masks while conforming to the contours of the face, particularly the contours of the cheeks.

[0007] The present invention was developed in consideration of the above technical problems, and aims to provide a novel thermal mask that adheres better to the face when worn. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The thermal mask of the present invention, which solves the above technical problems, comprises a sheet-like mask body, a heat-generating portion consisting of a heat-generating agent carried by the mask body, and ear loops attached to both side edges of the mask body. The ear loops are placed around the ears while the mask body is covering the face, and the heat generated by the heat-generating portion is applied to the face. The heat-generating portion is arranged at multiple locations that are symmetrical on both sides of an imaginary center line that divides the mask body into left and right regions. An imaginary fold line is assumed in the middle of the mask body, intersecting the imaginary center line at right angles. The ear loops are arranged side by side as upper and lower ear loops at two locations on each side edge of the mask body, on either side of the imaginary fold line, so that the mask body can bend along the imaginary fold line when worn. The heat-generating portion is also arranged in two separate locations on both cheek areas of the mask body, on either side of the imaginary fold line (hereinafter referred to as "the mask of the present invention").

[0009] In the mask of the present invention, a slit-shaped or elongated hole-shaped ear hole is provided in the center of each of the sheet-shaped upper and lower ear loops, and the ear loop hole in the upper ear loop is preferably provided with an upward slope from one end closer to the mask body to the other end, and the ear loop hole in the lower ear loop is preferably provided with an upward slope from one end closer to the mask body to the other end.

[0010] In the mask of the present invention, a preferred embodiment is one in which the inclination angle of the ear loop holes in the upper ear loop portion is 5 to 15 degrees, and the inclination angle of the ear loop holes in the lower ear loop portion is -5 to -15 degrees.

[0011] In the mask of the present invention, a preferred embodiment is one in which a cut extending inward of the mask body along the imaginary fold line is provided on at least one of both side edges of the mask body.

[0012] In the mask of the present invention, it is further preferred that the heat generating portion is provided at any one of the forehead, both eyebrows, or under the mouth, and that the heat generating portion provided at the forehead, both eyebrows, or under the mouth is divided and arranged on the left and right sides of the imaginary center line so that the mask body can be bent along the imaginary center line.

[0013] In the mask of the present invention, a notch extending inward of the mask body along the imaginary center line is preferably provided on at least one of the upper and lower edges of the mask body.

[0014] In the mask of the present invention, a preferred embodiment is one in which the amount of heat generating agent per unit area is large for heat generating parts that occupy a small area relative to the mask body, and the amount of heat generating agent per unit area is small for heat generating parts that occupy a large area relative to the mask body.

[0015] The mask of the present invention has an area of ​​8 cm 2 Above 12cm 2 A preferred embodiment is one in which a heat generating portion less than this is taken as the reference heat generating portion, and for heat generating portions having an area smaller than the reference heat generating portion, the amount of heat generating agent carried per unit area is greater than that of the reference heat generating portion, and for heat generating portions having an area larger than that of the reference heat generating portion, the amount of heat generating agent carried per unit area is less than that of the reference heat generating portion.

[0016] In the mask of the present invention, a preferred embodiment is one in which the amount of heat generating agent carried in the reference heat generating portion is increased by 10±5% by weight for heat generating portions having a smaller occupied area than the reference heat generating portion, and is decreased by 10±5% by weight for heat generating portion 3 having a larger occupied area than the reference heat generating portion. [Effects of the Invention]

[0019] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0020] [Embodiment 1] <Mask 1 of the present invention> 1 to 3 show one embodiment of the mask of the present invention 1. The mask of the present invention 1 comprises a "mask body (2)", a "heat generating part (3)", and "ear loop parts (4)".

[0021] -Mask body 2- The mask body 2 is sheet-shaped and serves to cover the face when the mask 1 of the present invention is worn. In this embodiment, the mask body 2 is constructed by laminating a nonwoven fabric 20 (see FIG. 3). The mask body 2 also has openings (H1, H2) at the eye and mouth areas, and a U-shaped slit (S1) around the lower part of the nose area.

[0022] - Heat generating part 3 - The heat generating portion 3 is constructed by a heat generating agent 30 carried on the mask body 2 (see FIG. 3). In this embodiment, a powdered heat generating composition that utilizes heat generation due to the oxidation reaction of iron powder is used as the heat generating agent 30 that constitutes the heat generating portion 3, and when constructing the mask body 2 consisting of a laminate of nonwoven fabrics 20, the heat generating agent 30 is interposed between the nonwoven fabrics 20, thereby causing the heat generating agent 30 to be carried on the mask body 2. In this embodiment, the amount of heat generating agent 30 carried on the heat generating portion 3 is 0.1 g / cm per unit area of ​​the heat generating portion 3. 2 It was decided.

[0023] In the present invention, the heat generating portions 3 are arranged at multiple positions symmetrically across an imaginary center line (C) that divides the mask body 2 into left and right regions (see FIG. 2). In this embodiment, the heat generating portions 3 are provided on both cheek regions (cheek heating portions 31), the forehead region (forehead heating portion 32), both eyebrow regions (eyebrow heating portion 33), the nose region (nose heating portion 34), and the under-mouth region (under-mouth heating portion 35) so as to be symmetrical across the imaginary center line (C). The heat generating portions 3 (forehead heating portion 32, eyebrow heating portion 33, under-mouth heating portion 35) provided on the forehead region, both eyebrow regions, and under-mouth region are divided and arranged on the left and right sides of the imaginary center line (C).

[0024] In the present invention, the heat generating sections 3 (cheek heating sections 31) 3 located on both cheek areas are divided into upper and lower sections sandwiched between an imaginary fold line (B) set in the middle of the mask body 2 and perpendicular to an imaginary center line (C). In this embodiment, the heat generating sections 3 (cheek heating sections 31) 3 located on both cheek areas are divided into upper and lower sections (upper cheek heating section 31U and lower cheek heating section 31L) sandwiched between the imaginary fold line (B). Furthermore, the lower cheek heating section 31L is further divided radially into two sections (first lower cheek heating section 31L1 and second lower cheek heating section 31L2).

[0025] -Ear hook part 4- The ear loops 4 are placed around both ears when wearing the mask 1 of the present invention, and serve to prevent the mask body 2 from slipping off the face. In the present invention, the ear loops 4 are arranged vertically as upper and lower ear loops 41 and 42 at two locations on either side of the imaginary fold line (B) on each side edge of the mask body. In this embodiment, each ear loop 4 (41, 42) is constructed from a sheet-like nonwoven fabric 20, and elongated ear loop holes 40 are provided in the center of each of the upper and lower ear loops 41 and 42. Before using the mask 1 of the present invention, the upper and lower ear loops 41 and 42 are positioned overlapping on the back of the mask body 2 (see FIG. 2(b)), and when using the mask 1 of the present invention, they unfold like a double door, as shown in FIG. 4. The ear holes 40 in the upper ear loop portion 41 are inclined upward from one end closer to the mask body 2 to the other end, and the ear holes 40 in the lower ear loop portion 42 are also inclined downward from one end closer to the mask body 2 to the other end. In this embodiment, the inclination angle (θ1) of the inclination of the ear holes 40 in the upper ear loop portion 41 is 10 degrees, and the inclination angle (θ2) of the inclination of the ear holes 40 in the lower ear loop portion 42 is -10 degrees.

[0026] When applying the mask 1 of the present invention having the configuration shown in Figure 5 to the face of the user (S), the back side of the mask body 2 is placed on the face with the ear loops 4 unfolded, and in this state the upper ear loops 41 are stretched and hooked onto the ears, and then the lower ear loops 42 are further stretched and hooked onto the ears (see Figure 5(c)).

[0027] When the mask 1 of the present invention is applied to the face of the user (S) in this manner, the upper ear loops 41 pull the upper part of the mask body 2 to the face, and the lower ear loops 42 pull the lower part of the mask body toward the chin, thereby improving the adhesion of the mask body 2 to the face.

[0028] Here, in the mask 1 of the present invention, the heat generating sections (cheek heating sections 31) 3 provided on both cheek areas of the mask body 2 are divided and arranged at upper and lower positions (upper cheek heating section 31U, lower cheek heating section 31L) sandwiching the imaginary fold line (B). Therefore, as shown in Figure 6, the mask 1 of the present invention has the property of being easily bent at the position of the imaginary fold line (B).

[0029] In the mask 1 of the present invention, the upper ear loops 41 and the lower ear loops 42 are provided at two positions on either side of the imaginary fold line (B) on each side edge of the mask body 2. Therefore, when the mask 1 of the present invention is applied to the face of the user (S) in the procedure shown in Figure 5, the mask 1 of the present invention bends at the imaginary fold line (B) and fits snugly along the contours of both cheeks.

[0030] As a result, the mask 1 of the present invention has improved adhesion to the face when worn.

[0031] In this embodiment, the ear holes 40 in the upper ear loop portion 41 are inclined upward from one end closer to the mask body 2 to the other end, while the ear holes 40 in the lower ear loop portion 42 are inclined downward from one end closer to the mask body 2 to the other end. It has been confirmed that by inclining each of the ear holes 40 arranged vertically at two locations on the side edge of the mask body in this manner, the fit of the mask 1 to the face when worn is further improved. The ear holes 40 in the upper ear loop portion 41 are preferably inclined at an angle of 5 to 15 degrees, and the ear holes 40 in the lower ear loop portion 42 are preferably inclined at an angle of -5 to -15 degrees.

[0032] Furthermore, in the mask 1 of the present invention according to this embodiment, the heat generating portions 3 provided in the forehead, both eyebrows, and below the mouth (forehead heating portion 32, eyebrow heating portion 33, below-mouth heating portion 35) are divided into left and right halves across the imaginary center line (C), and therefore the mask 1 of the present invention also has the property of being easily bent at the imaginary center line (C), as shown in Figure 7. Note that in this embodiment, the heat generating portion 3 provided in the nose area (nose heating portion 34) is not divided into left and right halves across the imaginary center line (C), but the nose heating portion 34 has a U-shaped slit (S1) below it that allows it to rise up along the bridge of the nose, so the presence of the nose heating portion 34 does not substantially hinder bending of the mask 1 of the present invention at the imaginary center line (C).

[0033] Therefore, when the mask 1 of the present invention is applied to the face of the user (S) in the procedure shown in Figure 5, the mask 1 of the present invention bends at the position of the imaginary center line (C), thereby providing even better adhesion to the face.

[0034] In this embodiment, the amount of the heat generating agent 30 carried in the heat generating part 3 is 0.1 g / cm 2 per unit area of ​​the heat generating part 3. 2 However, the amount of the heat generating agent 30 carried is not particularly limited in the present invention.

[0035] However, it has been confirmed that the heat generation temperature and heat generation duration become lower as the area of ​​the heat generating portion 3 becomes smaller. In view of this, in the present invention, it is preferable to increase the amount of heat generating agent 30 carried per unit area for the heat generating portion 3 that occupies a small area relative to the mask body 2, and to decrease the amount of heat generating agent 30 carried per unit area for the heat generating portion 3 that occupies a large area relative to the mask body 2.

[0036] More specifically, the area occupied is 8cm 2 Above 12cm 2 It is preferable that a heat generating section 3 having an area smaller than the reference heat generating section be set as the reference heat generating section, and that a heat generating section 3 having an area smaller than the reference heat generating section be set to carry a larger amount of heat generating agent 30 per unit area than the reference heat generating section, and that a heat generating section 3 having an area larger than the reference heat generating section be set to carry a smaller amount of heat generating agent 30 per unit area than the reference heat generating section.

[0037] In addition, the increase or decrease in the amount of heat generating agent 30 due to differences in the dedicated area is preferably 10±5% by weight increase for heat generating sections 3 with a smaller dedicated area than the standard heat generating section, and 10±5% by weight decrease for heat generating sections 3 with a larger dedicated area than the standard heat generating section, compared to the amount of heat generating agent 30 carried in the standard heat generating section.

[0038] Furthermore, in the present invention, an imaginary fold line (B) is assumed to be in the middle of the mask body 2, and in the present invention, the middle of the mask body 2 means between the parts of the mask body 2 that correspond to the eyes and the parts that correspond to the mouth. In particular, it is preferable to assume that the imaginary fold line (B) is a line that passes through the part of the mask body 2 that corresponds to the tip of the nose.

[0039] 8, it is preferable to provide a notch 21 extending inward along the imaginary fold line (B) on at least one of the two side edges of the mask body 2. By providing such a notch 21 on the mask body 2, the mask body 2 can be more easily bent at the imaginary fold line (B).

[0040] 8, it is preferable to provide a notch 22 extending inward along the imaginary center line (C) on at least one of the upper and lower edges of the mask body 2. By providing such a notch 22 on the mask body 2, the mask body 2 can bend more easily at the position of the imaginary center line (C).

[0041] The present invention can be embodied in various other forms without departing from its spirit or main features. Therefore, the above-described embodiments are merely illustrative in all respects and should not be interpreted as limiting. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and is not limited to the text of the specification. Furthermore, all modifications and variations within the equivalent scope of the claims are within the scope of the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]
