Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a mouth breathing prevention mask. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, techniques such as those shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, for example, have been known.

[0003] <Patent Document 1> JP 2002-45384 A Patent Document 1 states: "The present invention relates to an open-mouth prevention belt for preventing mouth breathing. Breathing through the mouth is considered to be a major cause of snoring and sleep apnea syndrome. Similarly, people with allergies also inhale harmful substances directly and unprotected through their mouths, which worsens their symptoms. The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing a means to physically suppress mouth opening." "It is an elastic band formed into a ring shape that fits the contours of the face, and is characterized by having a first engagement part that engages with the tip of the lower jaw, a second engagement part that faces the first engagement part and expands like a cap that engages with the head, and side band parts that connect the first engagement part and the second engagement part." An anti-mouth girdle is described (Summary of the same literature).

[0004] In addition, in paragraph 0007 of the same document, as "Effects of the Invention", "As described above, by wearing the mouth opening prevention band of the present invention, the elasticity of the band restricts the up and down movement of the mouth part 1-2 around the brim joint, preventing the mouth part 1-2 from opening. Also, the first engagement part 10-1 hooked to the tip part 1-1a of the lower jaw is hooked to the top part 2-1 of the head 2 with a cap-like spread on the other side, so that it is fixed stably and will not come off easily even during sleep. Also, since the band is elastic, it is possible to consciously open the mouth, and it can be used safely without any hindrance even for sudden physiological yawning or sneezing. Also, even in the state of mouth opening, it is possible to avoid directly inhaling dust and dirt from the outside by wearing the mask part 20-1 by placing the mask material on it. Furthermore, the mask part 20-1 is formed integrally with the first engagement part 10-1, so there is no slippage, and the mask material will not come off easily when worn." It is stated that:

[0005] In other words, with this mouth opening prevention belt, "the elastic force of the belt body restricts the up and down movement of mouth part 1-2 around the brim joint, preventing it from opening," thereby inhibiting mouth breathing, and it is speculated that the effect of "using the mask material in place and attached to mask part 20-1 makes it possible to avoid directly inhaling dust and dirt from the outside world" can be obtained.

[0006] However, as is clear from the above description, this mouth opening prevention belt is not intended to prevent mouth breathing using the mask itself.

[0007] <Patent Document 2> Utility Model Registration No. 3229442 In Patent Document 2, The objective of the project is to provide a pocket mask with a gusset that can effectively block droplets from the front. "A mask that covers the mouth of the user's face, comprising an outer layer 10 located on the outside and an inner layer 20 located closer to the user's mouth than the outer layer. The outer layer is provided with a non-breathable sheet 11 having an area that covers the user's mouth, and a gusseted pocket 30 that forms an air passage is provided between the outer layer and the inner layer. The lower part of the mask is provided with an air passage wire 41 that can form a gap for an air passage between the user's face and the lower part of the mask. The inner layer is provided with two overlapping pollen-cutting filters 25 having an area that covers the user's mouth." A gusseted pocket mask is described (Summary of the same literature).

[0008] Although this gusseted pocket mask has a non-breathable sheet 11 on the outer layer 10, the sheet having an area covering the user's mouth, a gusseted pocket 30 having a gusset that forms an air passage to ensure breathability is provided between the outer layer 10 and the inner layer 20 (paragraph 0028 of the same document), so mouth breathing cannot be prevented.

[0009] [Patent Document 1] JP 2002-45384 A [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3229442 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0010] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a mouth breathing prevention mask capable of preventing mouth breathing. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] In order to solve the above problems, the mouth breathing prevention mask of the present invention is A mask that covers the mouth of a user's face, A mask body having an outer layer portion located on the outside, an inner layer portion located closer to the mouth of a user than the outer layer portion, and a storage portion provided between the outer layer portion and the inner layer portion; Ear loops provided on the left and right sides of the mask body; a non-breathable sheet that is stored in a storage section of the mask body, has an area that covers the mouth of a user, and prevents the user from breathing through the mouth of the user through the outer layer section and the inner layer section; Equipped with When viewed from the side, the lower part of the mask body extends to the user's chin but does not wrap around the user's chin.

[0012] As a result of the above-mentioned configuration, the mouth breathing prevention mask provides the following effects. The non-breathable sheet is placed in the storage compartment of the mask body, and the mask body is used to cover the mouth and the ear loops are hung over the left and right ears in the same way as a regular mask. The non-breathable sheet has an area covering the user's mouth and prevents the user from breathing through the mouth through the outer layer and the inner layer, so that the mask of the present invention can prevent the user from breathing through the mouth.

[0013] In addition, since the lower part of the mask body extends to the user's chin in a side view and does not wrap around the user's chin, even if the user opens and closes their mouth while sleeping and the chin moves up and down, the mask body is unlikely to move up and down accordingly. Also, since the lower part of the mask body extends to the user's chin, even if the mask body moves up and down a little, the mask body is unlikely to come off the mouth and bend. As a result, the mouth breathing prevention mask of the present invention can effectively prevent the user from breathing through the mouth.

[0014] In order to solve the above problems, the mouth breathing prevention mask of the present invention is A mask that covers the mouth of a user's face, A mask body having an outer layer portion located on the outside, an inner layer portion located closer to the mouth of a user than the outer layer portion, and a storage portion provided between the outer layer portion and the inner layer portion; Ear loops provided on the left and right sides of the mask body; a non-breathable sheet that is stored in a storage section of the mask body, has an area that covers the mouth of a user, and prevents the user from breathing through the mouth of the user through the outer layer section and the inner layer section; Equipped with When viewed from the side, the lower part of the mask body extends to the chin of the user and extends below the line of tension of the ear loops.

[0015] As a result of the above-mentioned configuration, the mouth breathing prevention mask provides the following effects. The non-breathable sheet is placed in the storage compartment of the mask body, and the mask body is used to cover the mouth and the ear loops are hung over the left and right ears in the same way as a regular mask. The non-breathable sheet has an area covering the user's mouth and prevents the user from breathing through the mouth through the outer layer and the inner layer, so that the mask of the present invention can prevent the user from breathing through the mouth.

[0016] In addition, in a side view, the lower part of the mask body extends to the chin of the user and extends below the pulling direction line of the ear hooks, so the part that extends below the pulling direction line of the ear hooks is less likely to wrap around the user's chin. Therefore, even if the user opens and closes their mouth while sleeping and moves their chin up and down, the mask body is less likely to move up and down accordingly. In addition, because the lower part of the mask body extends to the chin of the user, even if the mask body moves up and down slightly, the mask body is less likely to come off the mouth and bend. As a result, the mouth breathing prevention mask of the present invention can effectively prevent the user from breathing through the mouth.

[0017] In this mouth breathing prevention mask, The storage section is a pocket-shaped storage section that is open at the top, A nose pad is provided on an upper portion of the non-breathable sheet, protruding from the storage portion and extending forward, to prevent at least an outer layer of the mask body from moving upwardly toward the nose of the user. The nose pad may be configured to have ventilation holes for the user's nostrils.

[0018] With this configuration, the nose pads provided on the upper part of the non-breathable sheet prevent at least the outer layer of the mask body from moving upwards over the user's nose, and the ventilation holes provided in the nose pads ensure ventilation to the user's nostrils, making it easier and more reliable to prevent the user from breathing through their mouths.

(c2). DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0020] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a mouth breathing prevention mask according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the same or corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0021] As shown in Figures 1 and 2 (mainly (a1) to (a3)), The mouth breathing prevention mask 1 of this embodiment is: A mask that covers the mouth U1 of a user U's face, A mask body 10 having an outer layer portion 11 located on the outside, an inner layer portion 12 located closer to the mouth U1 of a user U than the outer layer portion 11, and a storage portion 13 provided between the outer layer portion 11 and the inner layer portion 12; The mask body 10 has ear loops 20, 20 provided on the left and right sides thereof, a non-breathable sheet 30 that is stored in the storage section 13 of the mask body 10, has an area 30A that covers the mouth U1 of the user U, and prevents the user U from breathing through the mouth of the user U through the outer layer section 11 and the inner layer section 12; Equipped with In side view (FIG. 1(b), FIG. 2(a3)), the lower portion 10b of the mask body 10 extends to the chin U2 of the user U, but does not wrap around the chin U2 of the user U.

[0022] As a result of the above-mentioned configuration, the mouth breathing prevention mask 1 provides the following effects.

[0023] The non-breathable sheet 30 is placed in the storage section 13 of the mask body 10, and the mask body 10 is used to cover the mouth section U1 and the ear loops 20 are hung over the left and right ears U3 in the same manner as a general mask.

[0024] The non-breathable sheet 30 has an area 30A that covers the mouth U1 of the user U, and prevents the user U from breathing through the mouth through the outer layer 11 and the inner layer 12. Therefore, with this mask 1, it is possible to prevent the user U from breathing through the mouth.

[0025] In addition, in a side view, the lower portion 10b of the mask body 10 extends to the chin U2 of the user U, but is configured not to wrap around the chin U2 of the user U, so that even if the user U opens and closes their mouth (U1) while sleeping, causing the chin (U2) to move up and down, the mask body 10 is unlikely to move up and down (in the direction of opening and closing the mouth) accordingly. In addition, because the lower portion 10b of the mask body 10 extends to the chin U2 of the user U, even if the mask body 10 moves up and down slightly, the mask body 10 is unlikely to come off the mouth U1 and bend. As a result, the mouth breathing prevention mask 1 can effectively prevent the user U from breathing through the mouth. This makes it possible to prevent various problems caused by mouth breathing.

[0026] In side view (FIG. 1(b), FIG. 2(a3)), the lower portion 10b of the mask body 10 extends below a line T of the pulling direction by the ear hooks 20.

[0027] Because of this configuration, the portion (10b) that extends below the pulling direction line T of the ear hooks 20 is less likely to wrap around the chin U2 of the user U. Therefore, even if the user U opens and closes their mouth while sleeping and moves their chin up and down, the mask body 10 is less likely to move up and down accordingly. This makes it possible to more effectively prevent the user U from breathing through their mouth.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 2 (mainly (a3) ​​and (c3)), the storage section 13 is a pocket-shaped storage section that is open at the top. A nose pad 32 is provided on the upper portion of the non-breathable sheet 30, protruding from the storage portion 13 and extending forward (to the left in FIG. 1(b)) to prevent at least the outer layer portion 11 of the mask body 10 from moving upward toward the nose U4 of the user U. The nose pad 32 is provided with ventilation holes 33 (FIG. 2(a1)) for the nostrils U5 of the user U.

[0029] With this configuration, the nose pads 32 provided on the upper part of the non-breathable sheet 30 prevent at least the outer layer 11 of the mask body 10 from moving upwards over the nose U4 of the user U, and the ventilation holes 33 provided in the nose pads 32 ensure ventilation to the nostrils U5 of the user U, making it easier to more reliably prevent the user U from breathing through their mouths.

[0030] The mask body 10 can be constructed, for example, by appropriately bonding an outer layer portion 11 and an inner layer portion 12 together to form a storage portion 13. In FIG. Both the outer layer portion 11 and the inner layer portion 12 can be made of a known appropriate material (for example, cotton, nonwoven fabric, etc.).

[0031] The ear hooks 20 can be made of any suitable known material, and their tips are joined to the mask body 10 by any suitable known means.

[0032] The non-breathable sheet 30 can be made of a known suitable sheet material that does not have breathability, such as oil paper, vinyl sheet, raincoat material, or a sheet material obtained by subjecting 40D nylon fabric to a water-repellent waterproofing treatment. When the nose pad 32 is provided, it is preferable to make the sheet of ... The mask body 10 and / or the non-breathable sheet 30 may contain a fragrance suitable for sleep.

[0033] The nose pad 32 protrudes from the storage section 13 and extends forward at the upper part of the non-breathable sheet 30, and can prevent at least the outer layer section 11 of the mask body 10 from moving upward to the nose U4 of the user U. Any suitable shape can be adopted as long as ventilation holes 33 to the nostrils U5 of the user U are provided. Therefore, the nose pad 32 does not need to come into contact with the nose of the user U.

[0034] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
