Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In the eye mask of Patent Document 1, since it is worn on the head with a band connecting both ends of the ear pads, the wearer may feel discomfort due to the tightening of the band. Further, in the eye mask of Patent Document 1, light may leak into the inside of the blindfold member from the gap between the nose escape portion and the nasal dorsum, thereby inhibiting the light shielding effect on the wearer's eyes. Thus, the eye mask of Patent Document 1 has problems in improving the wearing feeling and the light shielding function.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] One form of eye mask disclosed in this specification includes a horizontally long mask body that covers both eyes and both ears of the wearer when the eye mask is worn, a first piece of cloth sewn to the right end of the mask body and extending further to the right from the right end, and a second piece of cloth sewn to the left end of the mask body and extending further to the left from the left end. The first piece of cloth and the second piece of cloth are surface fasteners in which the fibers standing out from the thread forming one surface function as hooks and the fibers standing out from the thread forming the other surface function as loops. The front surface of the first piece of cloth is detachable from the back surface of the second piece of cloth. The front surface of the second piece of cloth is detachable from the back surface of the first piece of cloth. The upper side of the mask body forms a gentle convex shape with the center as the first vertex. The lower side of the mask body forms a notch with the center as the triangular second vertex. The eye mask of this form further includes a gusset that fills from the second vertex to the middle abdomen in the notch. The gusset covers at least a part of the nasal dorsum of the wearer when the eye mask is worn. According to the eye mask of this form, the wearer can adjust the tightening force on the head by adhering the first piece of cloth and the second piece of cloth to each other at a desired position. Also, the tightening force at the back of the wearer's head can be dispersed on the surfaces of each piece of cloth. Also, since it is the adhesion between the pieces of cloth of the first piece of cloth and the second piece of cloth, the thickness of the eye mask intervening between the back of the wearer's head and the pillow can be suppressed. Also, the gusset provided in the notch can prevent light from leaking into the inside of the mask body from between the notch and the nasal dorsum. As a result, the eye mask of this form can improve the wearing comfort and the light-shielding function.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0007] FIG. 1 is a front view showing the eye mask 100. FIG. 2 is a bottom view showing the eye mask 100. FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing the state of use of the eye mask 100. The eye mask 100 is a device for blocking light and sound by covering both eyes EY and both ears ER of the wearer. The eye mask 100 includes a mask body 110, a cloth piece 120, a cloth piece 130, and a hem 140.

[0008] The mask body 110 of the eye mask 100 has a horizontally long shape with a width and length that can cover both eyes EY and both ears ER of the wearer when the eye mask 100 is worn. The mask body 110 is formed by sewing a front fabric 111 and a back fabric 112. A middle cotton is sandwiched between the front fabric 111 and the back fabric 112. The front fabric 111 and the back fabric 112 are silk fabrics. The front fabric 111 is a satin-woven fabric. The back fabric 112 is a plain-woven fabric.

[0009] The upper side 116 of the mask body 110 forms a gentle convex shape with the center as the vertex 116t. The upper side 116 is the side located on the top of the wearer's head when the mask body 110 is in the worn state. The vertex 116t is the first vertex of the mask body 110. The lower side 118 of the mask body 110 forms a notch 118c with the center as a triangular vertex 118t. The lower side 118 is the side located on the jaw side of the wearer when the mask body 110 is in the worn state. The vertex 118t is the second vertex of the mask body 110. A hem 140 is provided in the notch 118c.

[0010] The cloth piece 120 of the eye mask 100 is a first cloth piece that extends further to the right from the right end portion 114 of the mask body 110. The right end portion 114 of the mask body 110 is the end portion located on the right hand side of the wearer when the mask body 110 is in the worn state. The cloth piece 120 is sewn to the right end portion 114 of the mask body 110. The cloth piece 120 is a hook-and-loop fastener in which the fibers standing up from the yarns constituting one surface function as hooks and the fibers standing up from the yarns constituting the other surface function as loops. The cloth piece 120 has a surface 121 that functions as a loop and a back surface 122 that functions as a hook.

[0011] The cloth piece 130 of the eye mask 100 is a second cloth piece that extends further to the left from the left end 115 of the mask body 110. The left end 115 of the mask body 110 is the end located on the left side of the wearer when the mask body 110 is in a worn state. The cloth piece 130 is sewn to the left end 115 of the mask body 110. The cloth piece 130 is a hook-and-loop fastener in which the fibers standing out from the yarn constituting one surface function as hooks and the fibers standing out from the yarn constituting the other surface function as loops. The cloth piece 130 has a surface 131 that functions as a loop and a back surface 132 that functions as a hook.

[0012] The surface 121 of the cloth piece 120 is detachable from the back surface 132 of the cloth piece 130. The surface 131 of the cloth piece 130 is detachable from the back surface 122 of the cloth piece 120. The thickness when the cloth piece 120 and the cloth piece 130 are overlapped is thinner than the thickness of the mask body 110.

[0013] The gusset 140 of the eye mask 100 is a triangular cloth piece. The gusset 140 fills from the vertex 118t to the midpoint 118m of the notch 118c in the mask body 110. The gusset 140 is sewn to the notch 118c of the mask body 110. The gusset 140 covers at least a part of the nasal dorsum ND of the wearer when the eye mask 100 is worn. The gusset 140 is formed by sewing the front fabric 141 and the back fabric 142 together. Different from the mask body 110, no middle cotton is sandwiched between the front fabric 141 and the back fabric 142. The front fabric 141 is the same type of fabric as the front fabric 111 of the mask body 110. The back fabric 142 is the same type of fabric as the back fabric 112 of the mask body 110.

[0014] According to the eye mask 100 described above, the wearer can adjust the tightening force on the head HD by adhering the fabric pieces 120 and 130 to each other at desired positions. Also, the tightening force on the back of the wearer's head BH can be dispersed on the surfaces of the respective fabric pieces 120 and 130. Further, since it is an adhesion between the fabric pieces of the fabric piece 120 and the fabric piece 130, the thickness of the eye mask 100 intervening between the back of the wearer's head BH and the pillow can be suppressed. Moreover, the ridge 140 provided in the notch portion 118c can prevent light from leaking into the inside of the mask body 110 from between the notch portion 118c and the nasal dorsum ND. As a result, this eye mask 100 can improve the wearing feeling and the light-shielding function.

[0015] The technology disclosed in this specification is not limited to the above-described embodiments, examples, and modifications, and can be realized in various configurations without departing from the gist thereof. For example, among the technical features in the above-described embodiments, examples, and modifications, those corresponding to the technical features in each form described in the summary of the invention column can be appropriately replaced and combined in order to solve some or all of the above-described problems or to achieve some or all of the above-described effects.
