[0004] By the way, if a mask is given the function of generating hydrogen gas, it is expected to have a health-promoting effect. However, since the mask itself is structured so that it comes into direct contact with the nose and lips, if a sufficient amount of hydrogen generating gas substance is fixed to the mask, the mask will become bulky and thick, and the weight will increase, which may make it uncomfortable to wear. The present invention aims to solve such problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The first aspect of the present invention is an inner mask frame that is attached to the inside of a mask. This inner mask frame is three-dimensionally formed so as to support the mask from the inside and form a dome-shaped space around the mouth. It is also formed of a porous material and has a structure that reacts with moisture in the breath to carry a hydrogen generating substance.

[0006] The second aspect of the present invention is an inner mask pad to be attached to the inside of a mask, and this inner mask pad is three-dimensionally formed so as to support the mask from the inside and form a space to cover the mouth part. It is made of breathable sheets , This breathable sheet is It is composed of a layer made of porous resin foam carrying a hydrogen generating substance and a backing layer made of soft natural fibers. It is characterized by:

[0007] The third invention of the present invention is a health promotion mask incorporating the inner mask frame of the second invention of the present invention or the inner mask pad of the third invention. Effect of the Invention

[0008] In the present invention, the inner mask frame or pad supports the mask from the inside and is three-dimensionally formed to form a dome-shaped space around the mouth, and a hydrogen generating substance that reacts with moisture in the breath to generate hydrogen is fixed in place. Therefore, even if the mask becomes thick, it does not cause discomfort and a sufficient amount of hydrogen generating substance can be fixed in place. Furthermore, masks with such inner mask frames or pads attached to the inside of the mask also have health benefits through the inhalation of hydrogen gas, as well as measures against dryness and beauty benefits.

[Figure 6] FIG. 13 is an overall perspective view of another example of an inner mask pad. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] First, the hydrogen generating inner mask frame according to the first aspect of the invention will be described. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view showing a state in which the inner mask frame and the mask are separated, and FIG. 2 is an overall see-through view showing a state in which the inner mask frame is attached inside the mask.

[0011] The inner mask frame A is a perforated cup-like object that is attached to the inside of the mask C, and the frame 10 is three-dimensionally formed so as to support the mask C from the inside and form a dome-shaped space around the mouth. A hydrogen generating material 11 that reacts with moisture in the breath to generate hydrogen is fixed to the entire back surface. The frame 10 comprises a base portion 12 that contacts the face, and a windowed dome portion 13 that protrudes forward from the base portion 12, but the windowed dome portion 13 may have any window shape as long as it ensures sufficient breathability so as not to impede breathing. In this example, hooks 14 are formed on both sides of the base portion 12 to hook onto the pleats of a nonwoven mask.

[0012] The material of the frame 10 is not particularly limited, and may be made of, for example, synthetic resin such as silicone or urethane, or may be made of paper, nonwoven fabric, straw, wood, etc. As long as it can immobilize a hydrogen gas substance that reacts with breath to generate hydrogen gas, the material may be solid or porous.

[0013] The hydrogen generating material 11 is not limited to any material that reacts with moisture in the air to generate hydrogen gas. For example, boron hydride compounds are suitable, but Mg powder, aluminum alloy powder, magnesium hydride (magnesium that stores hydrogen) powder, hydrogen-supported calcium carbonate powder, etc. can also be used. In addition, various commercially available materials can be used, such as hydrogen-calcined coral powder, plant-derived hydrogen generating raw materials, calcium powder derived from natural water, and hydrogen-supporting powders used as hydrogen generating agents. The duration of hydrogen gas generation by the hydrogen generating substance 11 can be adjusted by adding a reaction regulator to the hydrogen generating substance 11. Suitable reaction regulators include, for example, pH regulators and organic acids (such as citric acid).

[0014] A specific fixing method may be to mix a fine powder of sodium borohydride (NaBH4), which is a boron hydride compound, with a fixing compound (adhesive) such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, and then allow the mixture to penetrate into a member having open cells and dry. In this case, the member serving as the carrier may be a resin foam or the like, or the entire frame 10 formed integrally, i.e., porous, or the entire back surface, or a member separate from the frame 10 may be attached. The surface of the carrier that comes into contact with the skin may be covered with a breathable sheet or cloth to prevent dirt and clogging. As a method for fixing the hydrogen gas generating material 11 to the frame 10, other than those described in the embodiment, it is possible to use methods such as coating the surface of the frame, impregnating the frame material, or kneading the material into the frame.

[0015] Furthermore, the inner mask frame A is three-dimensionally formed to support the mask C from the inside and form a dome-shaped space around the mouth, so that even though it is thick, it does not cause discomfort and can fix a sufficient amount of hydrogen generating material 11, thereby generating hydrogen gas with strong antioxidant power for a long period of time.

[0016] FIG. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing the function of the hydrogen generation inner mask. Since the humidity of exhaled air is nearly 100%, the air near the inner mask frame A contains sufficient moisture, and hydrogen gas is generated by the following reaction. NaBH5 + 2H2O → 4H2 + NaBO2 The hydrogen gas produced here is taken into the human body by breathing or through skin absorption, and exerts the well-known health-promoting effects of hydrogen gas.

[0017] Next, the hydrogen generation inner mask pad according to the second aspect of the invention will be described. FIG. 4 is an overall perspective view showing a state in which the inner mask pad B and the mask C are separated, and FIG. 5 is an overall see-through view showing a state in which the inner mask pad is attached inside the mask.

[0018] The inner mask pad B is attached to the inside of the mask and has a bulging shape to create sufficient space between the mouth and the mask. It is formed to support the mask from the inside and cover the mouth area, and is made of the same material as the inner mask frame A described above. In the illustrated example, it is configured with a breathable sheet 15 containing a hydrogen generating substance 11 that reacts with moisture in the breath to generate hydrogen, but it may also be configured to house a breathable sheet 15 containing a hydrogen generating substance 11 that reacts with moisture in the breath to generate hydrogen.

[0019] When the pad B is made of a breathable sheet, the breathable sheet 15 has a structure of at least two layers. For example, if it has a three-layer structure, with the middle layer being a porous resin foam carrying the hydrogen generating substance 11, and the front and back layers being soft natural fibers such as cotton or silk, it is possible to eliminate rashes and irritation when worn. Furthermore, such a structure allows the resin foam to contain a large amount of the hydrogen generating substance 11, the natural fibers prevent clogging, and it is possible to obtain a product that is excellent in texture and appearance. Furthermore, the breathable sheet 15 may be sewn three-dimensionally to support the mask from the inside, and wire or wire mesh may be sewn inside to maintain the shape. Furthermore, the breathable sheet may be replaceably housed within the pad, in which case the breathable sheet may be disposable and the pad may be removed from the mask and washed so that it can be reused.

[0020] The hydrogen generating material 11 can be the same as that described above, and the action and effect are also the same, so a description thereof will be omitted.

[0021] FIG. 6 shows an inner mask pad B made of a hard mesh material. In the illustrated example, pad B has an outer peripheral frame 12 divided in two by a central vertical frame 13, with mesh sections 14, 14 provided on the left and right sides, and hydrogen generating material 11 is fixed to pad B by the method described above. Pad B is configured to be detachable from the inner surface of mask C using adhesive tape or the like, but it may also be configured to be integrated with mask C. It is preferable that mask pad B be antibacterial, but if the surface is made of cotton and the back side near the mouth is made of silk, it can be made soft and moisturizing to the touch, making it suitable for sensitive skin. Furthermore, if the mask is made to have a high moisturizing effect, it can also be used to prevent dryness and provide a mask with beauty-promoting effects. Although this type of inner mask pad B is thick like the inner mask frame A, it does not cause discomfort when worn, and has the effect of generating hydrogen gas for a long period of time by fixing a sufficient amount of hydrogen generating material 11 and bringing it into contact with exhaled air.

[0022] In addition, the health promotion mask of the third invention, which is constructed by attaching the inner mask frame A and pad B of the various embodiments described above to the inside of the mask C, is comfortable to wear and does not cause discomfort when sleeping, so that the health promotion effect can be expected by inhaling hydrogen gas through breathing.
