Abstract

This invention provides a negative air ion generating mask in which a negative air ion generating component is placed on the inside of the mask, so that the generated negative air ions do not diffuse to the outside but are efficiently taken in along with the user's inhaled air. [Solution] A three-dimensional mask 1 that covers the nose 51 and mouth of a human body 50 is provided, with pockets for storing a bag 3 located on the inside of the mask, extending from both sides of the nose to the mouth area 52, and a negative air ion generating member 4 is housed inside the bag. The bag and the negative air ion generating member are detachable from the pocket. This allows for efficient supply of negative air ions from a position close to the inhalation path during breathing, and enables repeated use of the bag and negative air ion generating member by replacing only the mask body, thus providing an economical and convenient negative air ion generating mask. Conventional configurations in which functional materials are kneaded into the mask fabric have the problem that negative air ions tend to diffuse easily, making it difficult to supply them efficiently during breathing. In addition, the functional materials need to be disposable, which also presents economic challenges.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a mask that covers the nose and mouth of a human body, and particularly to a negative air ion generating mask in which a negative air ion generating member is disposed inside the mask.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, masks that cover the nose and mouth of a human body are widely used, and techniques for adjusting the air environment inside the mask by adding functional members to these masks are known.

[0003] For example, there has been a proposal to improve the breathing environment of a wearer by supplying negative air ions inside and outside the mask using a member that generates negative air ions.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, in the prior art, there are many configurations in which a functional material is kneaded into the mask fabric itself, and there is a problem that the generated negative air ions are not easily supplied sufficiently to the breathing flow path of the wearer.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] In view of the above problems, the present invention is configured to dispose a negative air ion generating member inside the mask at a position close to the nose and mouth of the user. Thereby, it becomes possible to generate negative air ions in the vicinity of the intake flow path during breathing.

Effects of the Invention

[0007] According to this invention, by arranging a negative air ion generating member inside the mask, the generated negative air ions are efficiently taken in along with the user's inhaled air without diffusing to the outside.

[0008] This improves the efficiency of negative air ion supply compared to conventional designs where functional materials are kneaded into the mask fabric itself, enabling stable functional expression. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0009] [Figure 1] This is a schematic front view of the negative air ion generating mask according to the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a schematic cross-sectional view of the negative air ion generating mask according to the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] The embodiments of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0011] As shown in Figure 1, the negative air ion generating mask 1 according to the present invention comprises a mask body 2 having a three-dimensional shape that covers the nose and mouth of the human body.

[0012] Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the negative air ion generating mask 1 being worn by a person 50. As shown in Figure 2, pockets for storing the pouch 3 are provided on the inside of the mask body 2, extending from both sides of the user's nose 51 to the mouth area 52.

[0013] The aforementioned bag 3 is detachably stored in the pocket of the mask body 2, and contains a negative air ion generating component 4 inside. [Examples]

[0014] In this embodiment, a spherical ceramic member that can be used semi-permanently was used as the negative air ion generating member 4.

[0015] The bag 3 can be made of various materials such as nonwoven fabric, synthetic resin film, paper, and metal foil, and the material is not particularly limited.

[0016] The aforementioned pocket section is configured to allow the bag body 3 and the negative air ion generating member 4 to be removed, making it possible to replace only the used mask body 2 and reattach the bag body 3 and the negative air ion generating member 4 to a new mask body 2.

[0017] This makes it possible to repeatedly use the negative air ion generating component 4, thereby providing a negative air ion generating mask that is economical and convenient. [Explanation of Symbols]
