Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a mask for covering the face. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, a towel mask with built-in sweat-promoting polyester has been known, as disclosed in Patent Document 1. Conventional masks were only intended to promote sweating during sauna bathing or to relieve breathlessness. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2006-6873 A [Patent Document 2] Utility model registration No. 3228966 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] Conventional techniques only address the area around the face, and are unable to address the entire body. In light of this, Patent Document 2 provides a towel with a face mask section that addresses not only the area around the face, but also the chest. Patent Document 2 uses terry cloth to fully utilize the inherent characteristics and functions of a towel, with a rectangular towel body equipped with left and right ear loops that can be worn on the human body and are configured to cover the mouth between the ears, so that it functions as a face mask, further expanding the range of use and allowing the body to be covered. In addition, this towel is very excellent in that it has a rubber loop that can be fixed to the wrist, and is also equipped with an auxiliary ear strap, taking into consideration what to do if the ear strap breaks, but we would like to provide a towel with a face mask part that makes the face mask part even more comfortable to wear. However, with the towel of Patent Document 2, the face mask portion does not fit the face sufficiently. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] The towel with a face mask portion of the present invention is a towel having a mask portion formed on one side in the longitudinal direction, and is characterized in that a nose pad portion is formed on the upper back side of the mask portion in the longitudinal center. Effect of the Invention
[0006] According to the present invention, a towel can be configured to combine the functions of a towel and a mask, thereby improving the fit of the face mask. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0008] Below, we will explain a towel having a face mask portion according to an embodiment of the present invention. There are many types of towels, including muffler towels, sports towels, face towels, long towels, bath towels, cheering towels, flat towels, regular towels, body towels, towel handkerchiefs, tenugui, scarves, and stoles. The materials, threads, and weaves include cotton, linen, polyester, polyurethane, polyethylene, nylon, urethane, silk, microfiber, gauze, gauze pile, pile fabric, non-twisted yarn, waffle, and more. Towels are lightweight, soft to the touch, quick-drying, absorbent, and stretchy, have UV protection, antibacterial and deodorizing effects, and feel cool to the touch. Depending on the materials, threads, weaving methods, and cutting methods, a wide variety of fabrics and terry cloth can be made. The towel body 1 can be made of rectangular or horizontally elongated quadrilateral fabric or terry cloth using a wide variety of materials, properties and effects.
[0009] Figure 1 shows left ear rubber 6 and right ear rubber 7 attached to one side to the left of center line 15 on the back of long and narrow towel body 1. When left ear rubber 6 is placed around the left ear and right ear rubber 7 is placed around the right ear, it can be worn on the face, covering the nose and mouth between the ears, creating a face mask portion on towel body 1. The towel body 1 can be hung from behind the neck, and the face mask part 1-1 can be worn on the face. Here, the face mask part 1-1 attached to one end of the towel body 1 will be described as the mask part 1-1. To make it easier to breathe through the mask part 1-1 and to make it comfortable against the skin, create a nose pad 14 on the mask part 1-1. Fold the upper edge 4 onto the surface of the mask part 1-1 that touches the face. The nose piece 14 is explained in detail in FIG.
[0010] The present invention will now be described in detail. The size of the towel body 1 is determined by the upper and lower horizontal edges 4 and 5 that connect the right and left vertical edges 2 and 3 horizontally. The length of the upper edge 4 and lower edge 5 of the width is about 80cm to 110cm, or 90cm to 110cm, for example, about 100cm to 110cm. The right edge 2 and left edge 3, which vertically connect the upper edge 4 and lower edge 5, are approximately 20cm to 30cm in size. The top edge 4 and bottom edge 5 are the same length, and the right edge 2 and left edge 3 are the same length. If you place the area around center line 15 on the back of towel body 1 behind your neck and let it hang forward from both shoulders so that the back of towel body 1 follows your body, it will have a width that allows it to hang forward by approximately 20 cm or more from the right shoulder to the left edge in three directions and from the left shoulder to the right edge in two directions. The material and length of the left ear band 6 and right ear band 7 are made of elastic cloth or rubber such as urethane, polyurethane, silicone, nylon, polyester, etc., which is soft, stretchy, comfortable to the touch, and easy to put on the ears. The length of the ear straps or ear rubber that go around the ears is approximately 5 cm to 15 cm, or 8 cm to 12 cm. For example, if they are around 10 cm and attached to mask part 1-1 with both ends of the attachment width being approximately 1 cm, the total length of the ear straps or ear rubber will be approximately 12 cm. The thickness and width are elastic enough so that they do not dig into your ears or cause pain, and they come in diameters of around 2mm to 7mm, for example around 5mm in diameter, and are available in flat elastic, round elastic, knitted elastic, horizontally wrapped elastic, mask elastic, etc., round, flat, oval, etc. shapes, as well as round string or belt string shapes.
[0011] For this explanation, we will use flat ear straps with a total length of about 12 cm for the left ear rubber 6 and right ear rubber 7, and a diameter of about 5 mm. When making mask part 1-1, attach the ear band 6 from the left. The mask part 1-1 is made so that when the towel body 1 is hung around the center line 15 behind the neck and hung forward from both shoulders, the left edge hangs forward from the right shoulder and has three sides so that it can be quickly put on the face. The left ear rubber 6 is attached near the upper left corner on one side of the center line 15 on the back of the towel body 1. Attach the right ear rubber 7, leaving a distance equal to the width of an adult's face. The relative positions of the left ear rubber 6 and the right ear rubber 7 will be explained in detail later. The left ear rubber 6 and the right ear rubber 7 are attached by sewing, affixing, fusing, welding, gluing, etc. at connection parts 17b and 18c of the left ear rubber 6, and connection parts 19d and 20e of the right ear rubber 7 so that they will not come off even if pulled hard. Here we will explain the case where the left ear rubber 6 and right ear rubber 7 are attached approximately 1 cm from each other on the tip of the mask part 1-1.
[0012] Here, we will explain how to attach the left ear rubber 6 and the right ear rubber 7 when they are all sewn together. Mask portion 1-1 is integrated with towel body 1, is a part of towel body 1, is located within towel body 1, and the back side of towel body 1 is the surface that is worn on the face, and is located to the left of one side of center line 15 of the back side of towel body 1. The back side of towel body 1 becomes the back side of mask part 1-1, so for ease of understanding, we will refer to the back side of mask part 1-1 as back side A of mask part 1-1. The size of mask part 1-1 can be expressed by lines when viewed from the back of towel body 1, for example, from the corner where left edge 3 and upper edge 4 intersect, proceed to the right of upper edge 4 toward center line 15, and from the attachment position of right ear elastic 7, proceed further to the right of upper edge 4 about 8 cm toward center line 15 so that mask part 1-1 covers the entire right ear, then proceed downward at a right angle to lower edge 5, and from the point where lower edge 5 lands, proceed left along lower edge 5 toward left edge 3, and from the corner where lower edge 5 intersects with left edge 3, proceed upward along left edge 3 toward upper edge 4. When the corner where left edge 3 and upper edge 4 intersect is connected, a line goes all the way around to form a rectangle or quadrilateral. The vertical connecting line represents the vertical width of mask section 1-1. The connecting line horizontally is the width of mask section 1-1. The area of mask section 1-1 is approximately one-quarter to one-third the area of towel body 1. Attach the connection part 17b of the left ear rubber 6 to the upper edge 4 on the left edge 3 side of the back surface A of the mask part 1-1. After deciding the attachment point of connection part 17b of the left ear rubber 6, you can decide the attachment point of connection part 18c vertically, leaving a gap of about 5 cm around the base of the ear, so that it can be hung over the left ear, depending on the structure of the human face. The relative positions of the left ear rubber 6 and the right ear rubber 7 are as follows: after attaching connection parts 17b and 18c of the left ear rubber 6 to the mask part 1-1, attach connection parts 19d and 20e of the right ear rubber 7 parallel to and at the same height as the left ear rubber 6 toward the center line 15, leaving a space the width of an adult's front face. The connection part 17b of the left ear rubber 6 and the connection part 19d of the right ear rubber 7 contact the upper part of the left and right ears, and the connection part 18c of the left ear rubber 6 and the connection part 20e of the right ear rubber 7 contact the lower part of the left and right ears. The average width of an adult's face from the front is estimated to be around 14cm to 17cm, and the average width of an adult's face from the base of the right ear to the base of the left ear is estimated to be around 24cm to 27cm. When mask part 1-1 is fitted from right ear to left ear to follow the contours of the front of the face, since each person's bone structure, fleshiness, nose height, ear position, etc. are different, for example, when the width of the attachment positions of left ear rubber 6 and right ear rubber 7 is set at a distance of approximately 27 cm, the ear straps of left ear rubber 6 and right ear rubber 7 will stretch and contract to adjust the distance and width between mask part 1-1 and the face, even if the size of mask part 1-1 and the face are slightly different. When wearing mask part 1-1 on your face, if the attachment width of left ear rubber 6 and right ear rubber 7 is too narrow or too wide compared to the position of your left and right ears, it may not be possible to wear it on your face or it may be uncomfortable to wear. For example, if the length of left ear rubber 6 and right ear rubber 7 is set to about 20 cm to 30 cm and attached to mask part 1-1, it can be tied into a loop or the length can be adjusted using an auxiliary tool such as an adjuster or bead fastener to adjust the length of left ear rubber 6 and right ear rubber 7, which will allow you to fine-tune the size to suit your needs. Due to the structure of the human face, the left ear rubber 6 and the right ear rubber 7 that go around the left and right ears are made into a pair. When wearing mask part 1-1 on the face, the ear straps that connect mask part 1-1 to the face are essential for wearing mask part 1-1 on the face. Depending on the way the ear straps are attached, their attachment position, height, direction, etc., it may be easier to hook your fingers on the ear straps and to place the ear straps around your ears. The left ear rubber 6 and the right ear rubber 7 are attached to the same height and position as the left and right ears, and we will mainly use the left ear rubber 6 to explain in detail the various types of ear strap lengths, attachment positions, and attachment widths in Figures 2-1 to 2-8 by enlarging them.
[0013] Figure 2-1 is an enlarged view explaining the details of the left ear rubber 6 and the right ear rubber 7 on the back surface A of the mask part 1-1. The attachment position of connection part 17b of the left ear rubber 6 is within a radius of 5 cm from the corner where upper edge 4 near the upper left side of the back surface A of mask part 1-1 and left edge 3 intersect. The attachment position of connection part 18c of the left ear rubber 6 is within a radius of 15 cm from the corner where upper edge 4 and left edge 3 intersect. Place the tips of connection parts 17b and 18c of the left ear rubber 6 facing each other and attach them vertically so that they are parallel to the left edge 3, leaving a gap of about 5 cm around the base of the ear. The left ear elastic 6 is shaped like a ring, and there is a space between it and the mask part 1-1 so that it can be hung around the ear. For example, the connection part 17b of the left ear rubber 6 is attached approximately 2 cm from the upper edge 4, approximately 1 cm from the left edge 3, and approximately 1 cm vertically to the mask part 1-1. If the connection part 17b is attached too close to the upper edge 4, the upper edge 4 will get into the eyes when the mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, and if it is attached too close from the left edge 3 to the inside of the mask part 1-1, the left edge 3 will go over the ear when worn on the face, which can be dangerous as it blocks the ear and makes it impossible to hear sounds, so it is preferable to attach it in a position that does not completely cover the left ear. Connection part 18c should be attached approximately 1cm vertically, approximately 4cm from the top edge and 1cm from the left edge, approximately 3cm from the left edge. The left ear rubber 6, which is attached in a ring shape, should have enough space to easily hook your fingertips around it. For example, if there is enough height between mask part 1-1 and left ear rubber 6 to comfortably fit one finger, and enough width to comfortably fit the tips of your index finger, middle finger, and ring finger, then it will be easy to hook your fingertips around left ear rubber 6 and it will also be easy to put over your ear. If you set the length of the left ear elastic 6 to around 20cm to 30cm and use an auxiliary tool for tying it into a loop or adjusting the length, such as an adjuster or bead fastener, you can adjust the length of the left ear elastic 6 and further fine-tune it to a size that is convenient for you. The right ear rubber 7 is attached to the mask part 1-1 symmetrically to the left ear rubber 6.
[0014] Ordinary towels and muffler towels have a sewn part called a hem on both the left and right ends when the towel is placed on its side to make the towel last longer and to prevent fraying during washing. These are the right edge 2 and the left edge 3. The hem is an important part that affects the strength of the towel, and is folded and sewn, making it thick. Using the thick and sturdy hem part 3-1, attach the left ear elastic 6 vertically inside the hem 3-1 so that it sits on top of the hem 3-1, using the left edge 3 as a guide. This will allow the ear elastic to be attached straight and parallel to the left edge 3 without twisting. The left ear elastic 6 can be attached onto the hem 3-1. Some types of towels do not have hems, but generally the width of a hem is around 8mm to 2cm 5mm.
[0015] Figure 2-2 shows another method of attaching the left ear rubber 6 to the mask part 1-1 near the left edge 3. Two holes 17c and 18d with a diameter of about 7 mm are opened inside the hem 3-1, spaced about 5 cm apart from the base of the ear, and the opened holes are treated with an overlock or other method to prevent fraying. An elastic string 6-1 for the left ear rubber 6 is passed through the holes to make a loop and both ends are tied or sewn together. In this case, the length of the left ear rubber 6 is set to about 20 cm to 30 cm, and the length of the left ear rubber 6 can be adjusted to fit the width of the face or the size of the ears using an auxiliary tool for adjusting the length, such as an adjuster or bead fastener, to create a mask part 1-1 that can be further fine-tuned to a size that is convenient for the wearer. The left ear band 6-1, which has a hole drilled directly into the mask part 1-1 and has the front and back surface A of the mask part 1-1 passed through it, pulls the front surface of the mask part 1-1 and tightens it when it is placed over the ear, so that the area around the base of the ear fits snugly to the face. The positions of holes 17c and 18d of the left ear elastic 6 should be within a 15 cm radius of the corner where the upper edge 4 and the left edge 3 intersect, as in Figure 2-1. Because the fabric is thick above hem 3-1 on left edge 3, make a hole near hem 3-1 on left edge 3 of soft mask part 1-1. For example, hole 17c is located approximately 3 cm from top edge 4 and approximately 3 cm from left edge 3. In addition, softer fabrics will tighten nicely when pulled by the ear loops, and will be less likely to leave gaps between your face and mask part 1-1. When the left ear elastic 6 is placed around the ear, the ear strap 6-1 is pulled so as to shrink the mask part 1-1 vertically in front of the ear, so that the mask part is spaced apart from the upper edge 4 by the amount of shrinkage. In addition, since mask part 1-1 shrinks vertically, holes 17c and 18d, which are spaced about 5 cm apart from the base of the ears, are also spaced further apart to about 6 to 8 cm. In this case, holes 17c and 18d are spaced apart so that the ear straps are also longer, for example, to about 15 cm. By moving holes 17c and 18d further apart, the ear straps will also become longer. As another example of use, for example, when the knot of the left ear rubber 6 is released, it becomes a single ear string 6-1, so by pulling the left ear rubber 6, the part extending from the hole 17c is lengthened and the part extending from the hole 18d is shortened, and then tied tightly on the hole 18d side. The left ear rubber 6 is now attached to the mask part 1-1 in the form of a single string, and the right ear rubber 7 is also given the same shape. That is, the right ear rubber 7-1 is passed through holes 19e and 20f and tied. By tying the tips of the left ear band 6 and the right ear band 7 together, you can wrap it around the back of your head and attach mask part 1-1 to your face. The ear straps should be about 30cm to 40cm long so that they can be tied around the back of the head. You can also lower it down to your neck and hang it from your neck.
[0016] Figure 2-3 shows the case where connection parts 17b and 18c of the left ear rubber 6 are attached side-by-side to the hem 3-1 of the left edge 3 with a gap of about 5 cm between them, like the ear straps of a typical nonwoven mask. This has the familiar ear strap shape, and the left ear rubber 6 protrudes outward from the left edge 3, making it easy to hook it around your finger and quickly put it over your ear. The attachment positions of connections 17b and 18c of the left ear rubber 6 are the same as in Figure 2-1. The left ear rubber 6 protrudes outward from the left edge 3, so if the total length of the left ear rubber 6 is approximately 12 cm and both ends are attached approximately 1 cm to the mask part 1-1, the attachment positions of the connection parts 17b and 18c will come into contact with the side of the face when the mask part 1-1 is worn on the face. To improve the fit of mask part 1-1 to the face or to wear mask part 1-1 close to the left ear, move connection parts 17b and 18c slightly toward the inside of the mask, for example, attach them about 3 to 3 cm from the left edge. The length of the left ear elastic 6 can be set to around 20cm to 30cm, and by tying it into a loop or using an auxiliary tool for adjusting the length, such as an adjuster or bead fastener, you can further fine-tune the length of the left ear elastic 6 to a size that is convenient for you. The right ear rubber 7 is attached to the mask part 1-1 symmetrically to the left ear rubber 6.
[0017] Figure 2-4 shows the case where the tips of connection parts 17b and 18c of the left ear rubber 6 are facing toward the left edge 3 with a gap of about 5 cm at the base of the ear, and attached side by side to the hem 3-1 of the left edge 3 so that the ear straps of a typical nonwoven mask are facing toward the inside of the mask part 1-1. The left ear rubber 6 contained within the mask part 1-1 is difficult to see from the outside even when the towel body 1 is draped around the back of the neck around the center line 15 and hung forward from both shoulders in the right edge 2 and left edge 3 directions, so it just looks like a long, thin towel is draped around the neck, but it does function as a mask, and the left ear rubber 6 attached near the left edge 3 is easy to hook with your fingers and quickly put over your ears. The attachment positions of connections 17b and 18c of the left ear rubber 6 are the same as in Figure 2-1. Since connection parts 17b and 18c of the left ear rubber 6 are attached about 1 cm toward the inside of mask part 1-1, when putting it over the ears, it will be folded back toward the outside. To accommodate this, the length of the left ear rubber 6 that was initially decided to be about 12 cm in total will be extended by about 1 cm at each end, making the total length about 14 cm. The length of the left ear elastic 6 should be around 20cm to 30cm, and you can further fine-tune it to a size that is convenient for you by adjusting the length of the left ear elastic 6 using an auxiliary tool that can be used to tie it into a loop or adjust the length, such as an adjuster or bead fastener. The right ear rubber 7 is attached to the mask part 1-1 symmetrically to the left ear rubber 6.
[0018] Figure 2-5 shows the case where the length of the left ear rubber 6 in Figure 2-4 is set to approximately 20 cm to 30 cm, and the tips of connection parts 17b and 18c of the left ear rubber 6 are attached side-by-side to the hem 3-1 of the left edge 3 with a gap of approximately 5 cm at the base of the ear, facing the left edge 3 so that the ear strap faces the inside of the mask part 1-1. Since the length of the left ear rubber 6 increases the weight, if connection parts 17b and 18c are attached longer, for example, connection parts 17b and 18c are attached approximately 2 cm each to the mask part 1-1, it can be fixed firmly and there is a sense of stability when it is worn on the face. Fold the left ear elastic 6 over so that it overlaps in the middle to make it easier to tie. By changing the position of the knot, you can adjust the length of the left ear elastic 6, allowing you to fine-tune it to a comfortable ear width. You can also adjust the length of the left ear elastic (6) by using an auxiliary tool for adjusting the length, such as an adjuster or bead fastener. The knot is contained within mask section 1-1, reducing the risk of the ear straps getting tangled with other items. The attachment positions of connections 17b and 18c of the left ear rubber 6 are the same as in Figure 2-1. The right ear rubber 7 is attached to the mask part 1-1 symmetrically to the left ear rubber 6.
[0019] In Figure 2-6, the length of the left ear rubber 6 is about 20cm to 30cm, and the tip of the left ear rubber 6 faces the hem 3-1 of the left edge 3, leaving a gap of about 5cm at the base of the ear. The tip of the left ear rubber 6 is oriented vertically and parallel to the left edge 3, and the center part of the left ear rubber 6 is folded back within a range of 35 to 90 degrees toward the inside of the mask part 1-1, and the folded parts are attached together at connection parts 17b and 18c. The folded parts overlap diagonally, and the thickness of the overlapping ear straps creates a raised height between mask part 1-1 and left ear rubber 6, making it easier for your fingers to grasp the ear straps. It can be attached to a flat surface along the center of the mask part 1-1. The left ear strap 6 fits inside the mask part 1-1, reducing the risk of the ear strap getting tangled with other objects. The left ear rubber 6, which is attached by folding back the connection parts 17b and 18c diagonally, has a directional property to the left and right, and allows flexibility in the movement of the left and right. When the ear strap becomes easy to move, the left ear rubber 6 moves according to the movement of the face, so the ear is not pulled by the left ear rubber 6, and the ear is less likely to hurt. By tying the left ear rubber 6 into a loop to fit the width of your face or the size of your ears, or by adjusting the length of the left ear rubber 6 using an auxiliary tool for adjusting the length, such as an adjuster or bead fastener, you can create mask part 1-1 that can be fine-tuned to a size that is convenient for you. The attachment positions of connections 17b and 18c of the left ear rubber 6 are the same as in Figure 2-1. The right ear rubber 7 is attached to the mask part 1-1 symmetrically to the left ear rubber 6.
[0020] Figure 2-7 shows an example of how to tie the left ear elastic 6 in Figure 2-6 into a loop and adjust the length of the ear strap to adjust the mask part 1-1 to fit various sizes of face widths. By changing the position of the tie, you can increase or decrease the space between the left ear elastic 6 and the mask part 1-1, thereby changing the size. If the position where connection parts 17b and 18c are attached is narrower or wider than the width of your face or ears, you can adjust the length by tying the knot of left ear elastic 6 closer or further away from mask part 1-1. In addition, adjust the right ear rubber 7 symmetrically to the left ear rubber 6.
[0021] In Figure 2-8, the length of the left ear elastic 6 is about 50 cm, and the tip of the left ear elastic 6 faces the hem 3-1 of the left edge 3, leaving a gap of about 5 cm at the base of the ear. The tip of the left ear rubber 6 is oriented vertically and parallel to the left edge 3, and the center part of the left ear rubber 6 is folded back within a range of 35 degrees to 90 degrees toward the inside of the mask part 1-1, and the folded back parts are attached together at the connection parts 17b and 18c. The attachment positions of connections 17b and 18c of the left ear rubber 6 are the same as in Figure 2-1. Cut the middle of left ear rubber 6, which continues from connection parts 17b and 18c, in half to divide left ear rubber 6 in two equal parts. Tie the part 6 extending from the connection part 17b with the part 6 extending from the connection part 18c, or use an adjuster or the like to adjust it to fit the width of your face or the size of your ears. Similarly, cut the middle of the right ear rubber 7, which continues from connection part 19d and connection part 20e, in half to divide the right ear rubber 7 in half. The part 7 extending from the connection part 19d and the part 7 extending from the connection part 20e are connected together, or an adjuster is used to adjust the part 7 to fit the width of your face or the size of your ears. By tying the ear loops 6, 7 at the connection part 17b of the left ear rubber 6 and the connection part 19d of the right ear rubber 7 and putting it over your head and lowering it down to your neck, the mask part 1-1 can be hung from your neck, covering the area around your neck and hiding your chest area, providing protection from the cold and sun, and allowing you to run without worrying about it being blown away by the wind. When you raise mask part 1-1 up to ear position, the ear straps will wrap around the top of both ears and the back of your head, allowing you to wear mask part 1-1 on your face. Furthermore, if the ear straps 6, 7 of the connection part 18c of the left ear rubber 6 and the connection part 20e of the right ear rubber 7 are tied together, when the mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, the ear straps 6, 7 will have one ear strap from the top of each ear and one from the bottom of each ear, so that the two ear straps from each ear can go around the back of the head, stabilizing the mask part 1-1. The primary purpose of the left ear band 6 and right ear band 7 is to attach the mask part to the face, so as long as it enables mask part 1-1 to be attached to the face, any connection point, connection direction, and connection method are acceptable.
[0022] Figure 3-1 shows nose pad 14 attached to back surface A of mask 1-1. Figure 3-2 is a cross-sectional view of nose pad 14 seen from the side. We will now explain the nose pad 14 in detail. Ordinary towels and muffler towels have stitching called "mimi" at the top and bottom edges to prevent the fabric from fraying when the towel is laid out on its side. These are the upper edge 4 and the lower edge 5. Depending on the type of towel, some may not have selvedge, but generally the width of the selvedge is around 3mm to 1cm. When mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, the edge of upper edge 4 touches the bridge of the nose and cheeks, but the towel fabric edge may feel hard and rough against the skin. Also, when you want to quickly put the left ear elastic 6 over your left ear, there are times when the hard part of the upper edge 4 of the ear may get caught in your eye. When wearing the mask part 1-1 on the face, a nose pad 14 is created to improve comfort and usability. Create a nose pad 14 between the left ear rubber 6 and the right ear rubber 7 of the mask part 1-1. Fold the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1 between the left ear rubber 6 and the right ear rubber 7 about 5 mm to 1 cm in a semicircular motion around the middle of the ear part, and then attach the folded part or sew the underside of the folded part to the connecting part 16a to create the nose pad 14.
[0023] When folding the upper edge 4 toward the back surface A of the mask part 1-1, do not fold it so that it is within the left ear rubber 6 and the right ear rubber 7 in a semicircle, but fold it horizontally in a straight line outward from the left ear rubber 6 and the right ear rubber 7. In particular, if the left ear rubber 6 side is folded all the way to the left edge 3, the thick part of the hem 3-1 on the left edge 3 will become twice as thick. When worn on the face, thickness will be created on the sides of the face between the eyes and ears and above the ears, making the face appear larger, reducing visibility, and making it difficult for people who wear glasses to wear them, so do not fold it all the way to the left edge 3. The nose pad section 14 is formed within the mask section 1-1, that is, between the left ear rubber 6 and the right ear rubber 7, so as to draw a semicircle on the upper edge 4. For example, fold the ear part of the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1 where the bridge of the nose touches toward the back side A of the mask part 1-1 by about 1 cm, and gradually make the folded part shallower toward the left ear rubber 6 and the right ear rubber 7 on both sides. When it reaches about 5 mm, sew the underside of the folded part to the connecting part 16a to attach it. Furthermore, the folded portion may be gradually made shallower so that the folded portion is connected to the upper edge 4 and then the lower part of the folded portion may be sewn to the connecting portion 16a to attach it.
[0024] Also, as shown in Figure 3-2, by folding the portion of the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1 that touches the bridge of the nose toward the back surface A of the mask part 1-1 by, for example, about 5 mm, and then folding it further by about 1 cm in a rolled-up manner to make it double, and gradually making the folded portions shallower toward the left ear rubber 6 and the right ear rubber 7 on both sides, and sewing the lower side of the folded portions with the connecting portion 16a, the thickness of the nose pad portion 14 will increase when the mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, and the gap between the mask part 1-1, the cheeks, and the bridge of the nose can be narrowed. This makes it less likely for your breath to leak upwards, and for people who wear glasses, it makes it less likely for their glasses to fog up due to their breath. The glasses rest stably on the nose pads 14, making them more comfortable to wear. In addition, because the nose pad 14 is thick, when the mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, the space inside the mask part 1-1 from the nose to the mouth is expanded, making breathing easier. If you further fold the nose pad 14 three or four times to make it thicker, you can further narrow the gap between the mask 1-1 and the cheeks and bridge of the nose, but this will reduce visibility, so don't make it too thick. By folding nose pad 14 toward the back surface A of mask part 1-1, the soft surface on the front surface touches the cheeks and bridge of the nose, improving skin contact and comfort.
[0025] In Figure 4, in order to form a triangular nose pad pouch 12 at the top center of the mask part 1-1, the mask part 1-1 is folded in half so that the back side A of the mask part 1-1 is the outside, and then folded with the insides facing out. The center fold B will be exactly in the middle of mask section 1-1. Although it is not visible in Figure 4, the right ear rubber 7 is attached to the outside of the opposite side that is folded in half. When you fold mask part 1-1 in half with the front sides facing each other, aligning the left ear rubber 6 with the right ear rubber 7, the fold B in the center of mask part 1-1 will be less likely to shift and you will be able to fold it straight. Here, we will explain how to use the ear straps to adjust the width of your face and ears using the left ear rubber 6 and right ear rubber 7 in Figure 2-7. Fold B in the center of mask part 1-1 is the part that touches the extension of the bridge of the nose when mask part 1-1 is worn on the face. Upper edge 4 is the part that touches the cheeks and bridge of the nose. If the angle where the central fold B of mask part 1-1 and the upper edge 4 of mask part 1-1 intersect is the apex of a right angle of a triangle, and if point D is, for example, approximately 2 cm from the apex on the line to upper edge 4, and point C is, for example, approximately 5 cm from the apex on the line to central fold B, then the point where the diagonal hypotenuse line connecting points C and D is sewn is sewn part 30. For example, to make the bridge of your nose appear straight when mask part 1-1 is worn on your face, connect points D and C on mask part 1-1, then gently curve the mask, extend and sew along the line of central fold B to point C', and sew to point C'. Place point C' about 2cm to 5cm below point C on the line of central fold B. By extending and sewing along the line of central fold B while gently curving the mask, a vertical seam will be placed along the bridge of your nose in the center of your face, which will have the effect of making your nose appear straight and your face appear smaller when viewed from the front when the mask is worn on your face. The 30 seam creates a gentle vertical curve that follows the curve of the face, creating space around the nose and mouth. Creating space around the nose and mouth makes it easier to breathe. The longer you extend point C', the more gently rounded it will become. The angle of the stitching 30 determines the height of the nose bridge. It also determines the amount of space around the nose and mouth. The stitching section 30 forms a triangular bag. The triangular shaped bag is formed into nose pad triangular bag 12.
[0026] Figure 5 shows the mask part 1-1 when the back side of the towel body 1 is spread out. When the mask part 1-1 in Figure 4 is opened and spread out, there is a triangular bag made of sewing part 30 at the top center of the back surface A of the mask part 1-1. This is the part that will be formed as the nose pad triangular bag 12 that rests on the bridge of the nose when the mask part is worn on the face. As shown in Figure 4, if point C is moved a short distance from the corner where the central fold B of the mask part 1-1 and the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1 intersect, the position where the nose pad triangular bag 12 touches the tip of the nose will be higher when the mask is worn on the face, and if point D is moved a long distance from the corner, the nose pad triangular bag 12 will rest over a wider area on the bridge of the nose when the mask is worn on the face. When the mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, the stitching lines of the sewn part 30 become the surface of the mask part 1-1, and on the back surface A of the mask part 1-1, a triangular nose pad pouch 12 that rests on the bridge of the nose is formed. The nose pad triangular bag 12 is a triangular bag, so there is a triangular space inside the bag. The opening is wide at the top and narrows cylindrically downwards. The upper opening of the nose pad triangular bag 12 is part of the upper edge 4 and is ring-shaped. Point D connects the ring-shaped upper edges 4 of the upper opening of the nose pad triangular bag 12, and is the point that connects the front and back surfaces of the mask part 1-1. When looking at mask part 1-1 from the direction of upper edge 4, point D is located on upper edge 4 between the surface of mask part 1-1 and the ring-shaped upper opening of nose pad triangular bag 12 on the back surface A side of mask part 1-1.
[0027] Figures 6-1 and 6-2 explain the triangular nose pad bag 12. In Figure 6-1, the space inside the triangular bag is opened, and in Figure 6-2, the bag is folded along the diagonally sewn seam 30 to crush it. If you fold the upper end opening of the nose pad triangular bag 12 so that point D on the upper edge 4 of the ring-shaped upper end opening and the corner where the central fold B of the mask part 1-1 and the upper end opening intersect are overlapping, and the upper end opening is compressed horizontally relative to the mask part 1-1, point D will be evenly spaced on both sides in the middle, and point D will be the center of the upper end opening of the nose pad triangular bag 12. The upper edge 4 of the ring-shaped upper opening of the triangular nose pad bag 12 can be folded horizontally so that point D matches the central fold B of the mask part 1-1, and the nose pad bag 12 can be fitted together snugly to trap air inside the bag. Since the nose pad triangular bag 12 is bag-shaped, when the upper opening of the nose pad triangular bag 12 is closed, a soft and elastic nose pad triangular bag 12 is created. When the mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, the elasticity of the nose pad triangular bag 12 fits to the gap between the mask part 1-1 and the face and closes the gap, improving the fit between the mask part 1-1 and the face.
[0028] In Figure 6-2, for ease of understanding, the upper opening of the nose pad triangular bag 12 on the back surface A of the mask part 1-1, including the upper edge 4 which is folded horizontally over and overlapped, is vertically divided into two equal parts. The stitching line of the sewn part 30 on the surface of the mask part 1-1, which connects point D and point C of the upper edge 4, overlaps with the central fold B on the back side A of the mask part 1-1 and hits the bisector of the nose pad triangular bag 12, so from point D to the left and right, the left nose pad 10 is on the left side and the right nose pad 11 is on the right side. As shown in Figure 4, if point D is located, for example, about 2 cm on the line from the corner where the central fold B of mask part 1-1 and upper edge 4 of mask part 1-1 intersect to the upper edge 4, when the upper opening of the nose pad triangular bag 12 is opened and folded horizontally, the top of the left nose pad 10 will be about 1 cm, and the top of the right nose pad 11 will also be about 1 cm. When the nose pad triangular bag 12 is folded, it is divided in half with point D in the middle, and the left side points to the left nose pad 10 and the right side points to the right nose pad 11, so the top and bottom of the nose pad triangular bag 12 points to the top and bottom of the left nose pad 10 and points to the top and bottom of the right nose pad 11. The top and bottom of the left nose pad 10 and the top and bottom of the right nose pad 11 refer to the top and bottom of the nose pad triangular bag 12. The left side of the folded parts at both ends of the nose pad triangular bag 12 is the folded part for the left nose pad 10, and the right side is the folded part for the right nose pad 11. The folded part of the left nose pad 10 and the folded part of the right nose pad 11 are the folded parts at both ends of the nose pad triangular bag 12. When the nose pad triangular bag 12 is folded, point D of the nose pad triangular bag 12 points to the back side of the nose pad triangular bag 12, and the central fold B of the mask part 1-1 is the front side of the nose pad triangular bag 12. Point D of the left nose pad 10 and the right nose pad 11 points to the back side, and the central fold B of the left nose pad 10 and the right nose pad 11 is the front side. The sewn part 30 on the surface of the mask part 1-1 and the central fold B that overlaps with the sewn part 30 are the boundary between the left nose pad 10 and the right nose pad 11. Figure 7-1 shows how the folded nose pad triangular bag 12 is sewn to the mask part 1-1, and Figure 7-2 shows how the top part of the nose pad triangular bag 12 is folded, shifted slightly downward, and then sewn to attach the mask part. When attaching the folded nose pad triangular bag 12 to the mask part 1-1, the upper parts of the left nose pad 10 and the right nose pad 11 are not sewn together, but are either overlapped with the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1, or are shifted slightly downward from the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1 and attached directly to the mask part 1-1 with the upper part of the left nose pad 10 at the connector 23h. The upper part of the right nose pad 11 is attached at the connector 24i. That is, the upper opening of the nose pad triangular bag 12 is sewn to the mask part 1-1, and the sewing of the upper opening and the attachment of the upper opening to the mask part 1-1 are performed simultaneously. In this case, it is preferable to shift the upper opening of the nose pad triangular bag 12 slightly downward from the upper edge 4 so that it does not overlap with the upper edge 4 and become thick. However, if the upper edge 4 of the upper part of the left nose pad 10 is tightly overlapped separately, the upper edge 4 of the upper part of the right nose pad 11 is tightly overlapped separately, and then the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1 is tightly overlapped, and then the left nose pad 10 is directly attached to the mask part 1-1 by sewing it at the connecting part 23h, and the right nose pad 11 is attached by sewing it at the connecting part 24i, then when the mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, the upper edge 4 will be overlapped three times over the bridge of the nose, and the field of vision will be impaired. However, the edge 4 of the upper part of the left nose pad 10 and the right nose pad 11 is often sewn hard and is flattened and thin. In such cases, even if the upper edge 4 is overlapped three times over the bridge of the nose, the field of vision may not be impaired or no pressure may be felt on the bridge of the nose, or if the material of the towel body 1 is thin, the upper edges 4 of the upper parts of the left nose pad 10 and the right nose pad 11, and the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1 can be attached in a triple overlapping manner. In order to attach the left nose pad 10 and the right nose pad 11 to the back surface A of the mask part 1-1 without creating as much thickness as possible on the bridge of the nose, as shown in FIG. 7-1, the upper edge 4 of the left nose pad 10 is closely overlapped with the upper edge 4 of the right nose pad 11, and the upper edges 4 of the right nose pad 11 are closely overlapped with each other, and the left nose pad 10 is attached by sewing directly to the mask part 1-1 at the connection part 23h so as not to overlap with the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1, and the right nose pad 11 is directly attached to the mask part 1-1 at the connection part 24i. For example, as shown in Figure 7-2, when folding the upper edge 4 of the upper part of the nose pad triangular pouch 12, the front side of the upper opening of the nose pad triangular pouch 12 is positioned lower than the back side of the upper opening of the nose pad triangular pouch 12 and sewn directly to the mask part 1-1 so that the upper edge 4 of the upper part of the mask part 1-1 does not overlap with the upper opening of the nose pad triangular pouch 12 and the upper openings of the nose pad triangular pouch 12 do not overlap each other. In other words, the back side of the upper opening of the nose pad triangular pouch 12 is shifted lower than the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1, and the front side of the upper opening of the nose pad triangular pouch 12 is shifted even lower than the back side. Then, sew the upper opening of the nose pad triangular bag 12 to the mask part 1-1. If the left nose pad 10 is attached directly to the mask part 1-1 by sewing it at the connection part 23h, and the right nose pad 11 is attached directly to the mask part 1-1 by sewing it at the connection part 24i, the thickness that sits on the bridge of the nose when worn on the face will be further reduced compared to Figure 7-1. By closing the tops of the left nose pad 10 and the right nose pad 11, they inflate into a bag-like shape containing air, and when worn on the face, they rest on the bridge of the nose. It leaves the skin around the bridge of the nose feeling soft and smooth.
[0029] To fold the nose pad triangular bag 12, overlap point D at the top opening of the nose pad triangular bag 12 with fold B in the center of the mask part 1-1, and fold it horizontally. At the back of the upper opening, the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1 is folded back evenly on both sides from point D by the same length in the direction of the left ear rubber 6 and the direction of the right ear rubber 7. Furthermore, both ends of the nose pad triangular bag 12 are folded back and folded so that the central crease B and point D are overlapped in the middle of the front side. As shown in Figure 7-1, when shifting the upper opening of the nose pad triangular bag 12 slightly downward from the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1, when folding back the back side of the upper opening toward the left ear rubber 6 and toward the right ear rubber 7, shift it downward at an angle of about 30 degrees to 60 degrees around point D so that the back side of the upper opening shifts slightly downward from the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1. For example, if the width of the upper edge 4 is approximately 5 mm, when the upper opening is folded, point D of the upper opening and the central fold B on the front side will overlap, and the folded parts on both ends of the folded nose pad triangular bag 12 will be shifted downward by approximately 5 mm to 1 cm so as not to overlap with the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1. As shown in Figure 7-2, when making sure that the upper openings of the nose pad triangular bag 12 do not overlap, when folding back the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1 from point D at equal lengths on both sides toward the left ear rubber 6 and the right ear rubber 7, shift the back side of the upper opening slightly downward from the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1 at an angle of about 30 degrees to 60 degrees around point D. Furthermore, when folding both ends of the nose pad triangular bag 12, the front side is shifted downward from the back side at an angle of about 10 degrees to about 45 degrees from the corner of the folded part. If the width of the upper edge 4 ear is about 5 mm, for example, when the upper opening is folded, the distance between point D and the central fold B of the mask part 1-1 on the front side of the folded upper opening is about 5 mm to 1 cm, and the folded parts of both ends of the nose pad triangular bag 12 are shifted downward from the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1 by about 7 mm to 2 cm. From point D, the nose pad gradually moves away from the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1 toward the folded parts at both ends of the nose pad triangular bag 12. The position of the folded parts at both ends of the nose pad triangular bag 12 and point D is lower than that of point D. Figure 8 shows connection parts 23h and 24i which attach the upper part of nose pad triangular bag 12 to mask part 1-1 as in Figures 7-1 and 7-2, and further connection part 25j is on the upper side of the left folded part when nose pad triangular bag 12 is folded, connection part 27l is on the lower side of the left folded part, 26k is on the upper side of the right folded part when nose pad triangular bag 12 is folded, and connection part 28m is on the lower side of the right folded part. By sewing connection parts 25j, 26k, 27l, and 28m to mask part 1-1, nose pad triangular bag 12 can be attached to mask part 1-1 by sewing all the way around. The nose pad triangular bag 12 is firmly fixed to the mask part 1-1, increasing its strength, and when worn on the face, the part of the mask part 1-1 that touches the bridge of the nose is less likely to be crushed. A bulge can be created on the extension line of the sewing part 30 from the point D on the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1 that touches the bridge of the nose, so that the mask part 1-1 is tensioned so that it floats off the face, making it easier to maintain space around the nose and mouth. Also, it is possible to maintain the space around the nose and mouth by simply sewing together the folded-over parts at both ends of the folded nose pad triangular bag 12, without sewing the connection parts 25j, 26k, 27l, and 28m to the mask part 1-1.
[0030] Figure 9 shows the nose pad triangular pouch 12 and nose pad portion 14 formed together. Since the nose pad triangular pouch 12 in Figure 5 is formed in the upper center of the mask part 1-1, the left and right sides of the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1 are folded back around the nose pad triangular pouch 12 to form the nose pad portion 14. When mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, the side where the left cheek of nose pad part 14 touches is left cheek 8, and the side where the right cheek touches is right cheek 9. By attaching the left cheek 8 and the right cheek 9, it is possible to improve visibility, improve the contact with the skin around the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1 that touches the cheeks, and also increase the degree of adhesion of the mask part 1-1 to the contours of the face. Fold the upper edge 4 towards the back side A of the mask part 1-1 so that the fluffy surface of the front of the mask part 1-1 touches the area around your cheeks. Fold it tightly, pressing it down, so as not to block your view and to make it as thin as possible. For the left cheek 8, fold the mask part 1-1 back surface A side by about 5 mm to 1 cm in a horizontal semicircle, starting from the center of the upper edge 4 between the left ear rubber 6 and point D on the back surface A side of the mask part 1-1, slightly closer to point D. So that the fluffy surface of mask part 1-1 touches your cheek, fold it as deeply as possible at the center of the horizontal semicircle drawn on the upper edge 4, for example, about 1 cm, and then gradually make the folds shallower toward the left of the ear elastics 6 and point D on both sides. Point D is the part that rests on the bridge of the nose and is in the center of the face, so bend it so that it connects exactly to point D to avoid any thickness or sagging. At this time, fold it so that it passes over the top of the left nose pad 10 at the very edge, but not so that it overlaps. For the left ear elastic 6, gradually make the folded part shallower, and when it is about 5 mm long, sew the bottom side of the bent part tightly to point D using connection part 21f. The left ear elastic 6 side may be further folded gradually to make the bent portion shallower, connected to the upper edge 4, and then tightly sewn together at the connection part 21f. In other words, for the left cheek 8, fold the upper edge 4 so that it forms a horizontal semicircle between the left ear elastic 6 and point D, centered just below the eye and slightly closer to point D. The right cheek 9 is symmetrically attached to the left cheek 8 and sewn to the mask part 1-1. The left nose pad 10 can be attached by sewing together at the connection part 21f of the left cheek 8, and the right nose pad 11 can be attached by sewing together at the connection part 22g of the right cheek 9. In addition, the connection part 23h of the left nose pad 10 can be sutured to the left cheek 8, and the connection part 24i of the right nose pad 11 can be sutured to the right cheek 9. By folding the upper edges 4 of the left cheek 8 and the right cheek 9 toward the back surface A of the mask part 1-1, when the mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, the fluffy surface of the front surface touches the left and right cheeks and the bridge of the nose, making it soft against the skin and comfortable to wear. Even when you need to put it on your face quickly, there is less risk of the hard towel edges (top edge 4) getting into your eyes. As another form, a method for improving visibility and skin contact, for example, on the left cheek 8 and the right cheek 9, the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1 is folded over only in the part that does not obstruct visibility. When mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, only the highest points of the cheeks where upper edge 4 of mask part 1-1 touches, such as the area near the cheekbones or the area directly below the eyes, are designated as left cheek 8 and right cheek 9. Upper edge 4 of mask part 1-1 is folded back to the back side A of mask part 1-1 and sewn to attach it. For example, fold about 2 cm to 4 cm around the cheekbones and directly under the eyes toward the back surface A of the mask part 1-1 by about 5 mm to 1 cm, fold it to draw a semicircle around the upper edge 4, and connect both folded sides to the upper edge 4 or sew them together at the connecting parts 21f and 22g so that they are connected. If only the areas near the cheekbones and directly below the eyes are designated as left cheek 8 and right cheek 9, then there will be a gap between the face and mask part 1-1 around point D in the center of the mask. When the mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, the upper edge 4 connects the left cheek 8, the bridge of the nose, and the right cheek 9 in a triangular shape. Gaps are created on both sides of the bridge of the nose at the highest point, reducing the degree of contact between the mask part 1-1 and the face. Exhaled air escapes through the gaps on both sides of the bridge of the nose, allowing you to breathe easily. If you want to close the gaps, wear glasses or sunglasses over mask section 1-1. The weight of the glasses or sunglasses will press down on the gaps on both sides of your nose from above, closing the gaps.
[0031] Figure 10 shows the left half of the mask when worn on the face. As shown in Figure 4, the height, length and width of the nose pad triangular bag 12 that rests on the bridge of the nose are determined by the angle and length of the stitching 30, and this determines the amount of space around the nose and mouth. If the angle of the stitching part 30 is made sharper, the area around the nose will have a sharp, pointed shape when worn on the face. Mask part 1-1 creates space around the nose and mouth, making it easier to breathe. The triangular nose pad 12 sits on the bridge of the nose but tapers towards the tip, making the nose appear slim and slender with a straight bridge. If you want to create a gentle curve, you can create a curve from point C on the line of central crease B of mask part 1-1 to the area around C' and sew together. Then, you can extend the stitches along central crease B toward the lower edge 5 along the vertical curve of the face. This will create a gentle curve continuing from nose pad triangular bag 12 when the mask is worn on the face, making the bridge of the nose appear straight. As shown in Figure 9, the left cheek 8 is made within point D with the left ear elastic 6, and is sewn to the upper edge 4 at the connection part 21f so as to draw a horizontal semicircle, centered slightly toward point D. When your face is facing forward, fold it deepest around the area under your eyes, then gradually fold it shallower toward point 6 to the left of the ear elastic and point D. You can fold it all the way up to where your cheekbones touch. By folding the back side of the mask part 1-1 to side A, it will not obstruct your field of vision, and the fluffy surface of the mask part 1-1 will touch the cheek area, making it comfortable against your skin. The back side A of the mask part 1-1 is the side that touches the face. On the back side A of the mask part 1-1, there are a nose pad triangular bag 12, a left cheek 8, and, although not visible in Figure 10, a right cheek 9 and a right ear rubber 7 on the right half of the face. When mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, the corners of the left edge 3 and lower edge 5 below the left ear rubber 6 and the upper edge 4 around the right edge 2 hanging forward from the left shoulder overlap around the left shoulder and near the left side of the neck, and there is a gap between the body and the area around the lower edge 5 toward the front of the face, and the lower part of the right ear rubber 7 goes from the right side of the body towards the back of the neck and rests on the right shoulder, goes around the back of the neck and rests on the left shoulder, from which the right edge 2 hangs forward. You can also attach the left ear rubber 6 to the mask part 1-1, then make a triangular nose pad bag 12 and attach the right ear rubber 7 to the mask part 1-1.
[0032] FIG. 11 shows another embodiment of the stitching of the nose pad triangular pouch 12. Figure 11 shows the state when the upper opening of the nose pad triangular bag 12 is folded, the upper part of the left nose pad 10 is sewn together with connecting part 23h, and the upper part of the right nose pad 11 is sewn together with connecting part 24i separately. When the upper edge of the mask part 1-1 is viewed from the four directions, it looks like an x mark. Here, the upper opening of the nose pad triangular bag 12 is not sewn to the mask part 1-1 and is raised above the mask part 1-1. When mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, the left nose pad 10 supports the bridge of the left nose, and the right nose pad 11 supports the bridge of the right nose, which come into contact with the back surface A of mask part 1-1, which is the contact point between the face and mask part 1-1, when the mask is worn on the face, so that mask part 1-1 can be stably supported when worn on the face. Because the upper parts of the left nose pad 10 and the right nose pad 11 are not sewn to the mask part 1-1, the left nose pad 10 and the right nose pad 11 can move separately, which enables the mask part 1-1 to move in accordance with the movement of the face. As a result, the face and body can be moved easily when talking or moving the neck while wearing the mask part 1-1. When the left ear elastic 6 and the right ear elastic 7 are placed around each ear, the mask section 1-1 is pulled up so that it floats off the face. As the left nose pad 10 and the right nose pad 11 are not sewn to the mask section 1-1, the upper parts of the left nose pad 10 and the right nose pad 11 are sewn separately and therefore support the bridge of the nose from both the left and right sides. This sharing of roles reduces the feeling of pressure on the bridge of the nose and face. When mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, the stitching line of sewing part 30 extending from central point D of mask part 1-1 becomes the front surface of mask part 1-1, but on the back surface A of mask part 1-1, central fold B hits the bisector of triangular nose pad bag 12. Therefore, when the line of central fold B, which is created when triangular nose pad bag 12 is vertically bisected, is placed on the bridge of the nose, left nose pad 10 supporting the left bridge of the nose and right nose pad 11 supporting the right bridge of the nose will be aligned with the arched bridge of the nose, and central fold B will be placed on top of the bridge of the nose in a triangular shape, supporting mask part 1-1 and allowing mask part 1-1 to be worn on the face without crushing the bridge of the nose, which is the highest part of the face. The left cheek 8 and the right cheek 9 are sutured together at connection part 21f so that the left cheek 8 does not overlap with the upper part of the left nose pad 10, and the right cheek 9 is sutured together at connection part 22g so that it does not overlap with the upper part of the right nose pad 11. The upper part of the left nose pad 10 and the upper part of the right nose pad 11 should not be sewn to the mask part 1-1, left cheek 8, or right cheek 9. Figure 11 shows the back surface A of mask part 1-1 from an oblique side view to show that the upper parts of the left nose pad 10 and the right nose pad 11 are sewn together separately. The rear surface of the left nose pad 10 is visible from the sewing part 30 that connects points D and C on the back side A of the mask part 1-1, and it is folded back at the fold of the left nose pad 10, and although it is not visible in Figure 11, the folded front surface overlaps the back of the rear surface of the left nose pad 10. It is folded so that the central fold B overlaps with the sewing part 30. The visible side of the right nose pad 11 is the front side, and although it is folded over at the fold of the right nose pad 11 and cannot be seen in Figure 11, the back side of the front side overlaps with the rear side of the right nose pad 11 and is folded towards the stitching 30. Since the central crease B is simply folded, the bag-shaped nose pad triangular bag 12 is elastic and feels soft and fluffy when placed on the bridge of the nose.
[0033] When mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, the triangular nose pad bag 12 fits comfortably on the bridge of the nose and feels good against the skin. However, if the part that touches the tip of the nose covers the nostrils too much, it may be easier for the fibers of mask part 1-1 to be inhaled directly into the nose or it may become difficult to breathe. In Figure 12, when the triangular nose pad bag 12 is viewed vertically, the part that rests on the bridge of the nose and the part that touches the tip of the nose are divided, for example, into half horizontally, or the part that rests on the bridge of the nose is about two-thirds and the part that touches the tip of the nose is about one-third. The part that touches the tip of the nose is called nose tip part 13, and is attached to the mask part 1-1 by sewing it to connection parts 27l, 28m, and 29n. Since the nose tip portion 13 is firmly fixed to the mask portion 1-1, the underside of the nose pad triangular bag 12 is sewn in a triangular shape all around to the mask portion 1-1. The strength of the nasal tip area13 is increased, making it easier to expand and maintain the space around the nose and mouth. For example, even if nose tip section 13 is attached to mask section 1-1 in Figure 11, the upper part of left nose pad 10 and the upper part of right nose pad 11 are sewn separately, so when worn on the face, they can move separately even when placed on the bridge of the nose, and mask section 1-1 can adjust to the movement of the face. Also, unlike the above example, if 27l and 28m of the nose tip part 13 are attached to the mask part 1-1 and 29n is not sewn to the mask part 1-1 but sewn narrower to the side, the part of the nose pad triangular bag 12 that rests on the bridge of the nose will be taller, making the nose pad triangular bag 12 even fluffier. Also, by simply sewing the outer circumference of the connection parts 27l, 28m, and 29n once without attaching the nose tip part 13 to the mask part 1-1, it is possible to reduce the fluffy thickness and reduce inhalation caused by breathing. Even when wearing the mask part 1-1 on the face, it is easy to breathe and talk, and the shape tapers toward the nose tip, making the nose bridge straight and the face look smaller. It can also be applied to Figures 7-1, 7-2, 8, and 9.
[0034] Figure 13 is a front view of mask part 1-1 when worn on the face. As shown in Figures 4, 5, 6-1, 6-2, etc., the upper opening at the top of the nose pad triangular pouch 12 is part of the upper edge 4, and the nose pad triangular pouch 12 is formed by sewing at the sewing part 30. When the back surface A of the mask part 1-1 is opened, the upper edge 4 is pulled downward, and when the mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, the position of the upper edge 4 in the center of the mask part 1-1 appears to be sunken and lower. Mask section 1-1 is rounded so as to fit the contours of the face, and when viewed from the front, the left ear band 6 and the right ear band 7 on both sides are positioned high and slope down towards the bridge of the nose in the center of the face, creating a V-shape. Furthermore, the stitching line of sewing part 30 extends vertically through the center of mask part 1-1 in an extension of the bridge of the nose, creating a Y shape, which has the effect of making your face look smaller. As shown in Figure 4, if point D is placed farther away from the central fold B of the mask part 1-1, when the back surface A of the mask part 1-1 is opened, the nose pad triangular pouch 12 will move further down from the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1, and when the mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, the positions of both ears of the mask part 1-1 will be higher and the position of the central upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1, which touches the bridge of the nose, will be lowered further. Also, the upper opening of the nose pad triangular pouch 12, which rests on the bridge of the nose, will be wider. When the right ear band 7 is placed around the right ear, mask part 1-1 covers the right ear, but when the mask part 1-1 near the right ear band 7 is pulled downward, the ear loop stretches and contracts, causing the right ear to protrude from the upper edge 4 of mask part 1-1. In an emergency, you can hear outside sounds without removing mask part 1-1. When the right ear is covered by the mask part 1-1, it is preferable to attach the left ear rubber 6 in a position that does not completely cover the left ear for safety reasons, but since covering the left ear does not completely block the ear hole, the left ear rubber 6 can be attached from near the left edge 3 to the inside of the mask part 1-1 so that the left edge 3 is behind the edge of the ear so that the left ear can be covered depending on the safe location and purpose of use. For example, when the purpose of use is sunbathing at the beach or in a sauna. When the left ear elastic 6 and the right ear elastic 7 are placed around both ears, the lower edge 5 of the front of the face will be positioned below the chin. The area around the lower front edge of the face 5 creates gaps between the chin and neck, the chin and chest, and the neck and shoulders, making it easier to breathe.
[0035] In Figure 14-1, fold the mask part 1-1 in half so that the back side A is the outside, and then fold it so that the inside is the outside. If the angle where the central fold B and the upper edge 4 intersect is the apex of a right angle triangle, then point D is about 3 cm, for example, from the apex on the line to the upper edge 4, and point C is about 5 cm, for example, from the apex on the line to the central fold B. Connect points C and D and cut off the diagonal hypotenuse in a triangle shape, and sew the mask part 1-1 side together at sewing part 30. Alternatively, first sew the hypotenuse at sewing section 30 and then cut it off in a triangular shape. When cutting the hypotenuse into a triangular shape, if you cut it with a gentle curve on the mask part 1-1 side, mask part 1-1 will have a gentle finish that follows the curves of the face. In addition, when mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, a vertical suture line runs from the bridge of the nose. If point C' is taken around the area where the chin touches the vertical curve of the face in a circular motion, or if the suture is extended to around the lower edge 5, then a vertical suture line of sewing part 30 will run in the center of mask part 1-1, resulting in a shape and appearance similar to that of a typical handmade mask or nylon mask. For example, if you want to wear two masks at once, such as a regular nonwoven mask or urethane mask, with mask section 1-1, you can wear a handmade mask, nylon mask, or urethane mask over your face, and then put mask section 1-1 on top of it. They will overlap perfectly, allowing you to wear a double mask without feeling uncomfortable. For a typical nonwoven mask, fold the nose wire tightly into a mountain shape and align it with the bridge of your nose, then place mask section 1-1 on top to create a double mask. Put the first mask on your face and make a double mask so that there are no gaps between your nose and cheeks. The second mask part 1-1 overlaps on top and presses the mask against your face. Create the left cheek 8 and right cheek 9 so that it will feel good against the skin when worn on the face. Fold the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1 about 5 mm to 1 cm toward the back side A of the mask part, within the left ear rubber 6 from point D and within the right ear rubber 7 from point D, and sew the left cheek 8 at the connection part 21f and the right cheek 9 at the connection part 22g. When using mask part 1-1 with the aim of wearing two masks at once, the first mask to be worn on the face is a regular mask that is comfortable against the skin, so left cheek 8 and right cheek 9 do not matter whether they are included or not. For example, if you want to prioritize breathing easily, make sure there is plenty of space around your nose and mouth. If you take points D and C at approximately the same distance from the apex of the corner where central fold B and upper edge 4 intersect, connect points D and C in a fan shape, a sharp circle shape, or a line shape, cut them off, and sew them together at sewing part 30, a dome-shaped space that rises up around the nose and mouth can be created when mask part 1-1 is worn on the face. For example, when point D is approximately 4 cm from the vertex and point C is approximately 5 cm from the vertex, point D and point C are connected in a fan shape, in a sharp circle, cut off, and sewn together at sewing part 30. Furthermore, take point C' along the line of central crease B so that it penetrates into the area under the chin, and then suture in a circle up to point C' so that it continues into a sharp fan-shaped circle connecting points D and C. If you want to make the suture line of central crease B neater, cut off central crease B on the outside of the suture line to align it with the suture line that connects point C' around the underarm area that continues from central crease B. As the vertical width of mask section 1-1 is longer than point C' around the chin and continues downward, it is either cut in a V shape to fit under the chin and sutured to connect to lower edge 5, or it is not cut and is sutured in a V shape to connect to lower edge 5. Or, from the apex of the corner where central fold B and upper edge 4 intersect, tie points D and C in a sharp fan-shaped circle and sew together, then continue sewing along the line of central fold B, and sew from central fold B to lower edge 5. At that time, from the corner where central fold B and lower edge 5 intersect, tie a fan-shaped knot or a sharp circle and sew about 5 cm upward toward central fold B and about 4 cm horizontally toward lower edge 5. The area around lower edge 5 comes into contact with the front of the face and around the neck, so if you want to make it look neater, cut off the outside of the suture line. Or, suture points D and C in a sharp fan-shaped circle, and then suture along the line of central crease B in a gentle circle from central crease B to the submandibular area or lower edge 5. It is also possible to wear a regular mask on your face and then place mask part 1-1, as in Figures 8 and 9, on top to create a double mask. There is a gap between the first mask and mask part 1-1, which prevents the mask from becoming stuffy and makes it easier to breathe.
[0036] In Figure 14-2, for example, the shape of the mask part 1-1 in Figure 14-1 is used to attach the back side A of the mask part 1-1 and the urethane mask 33 by overlapping and sewing them together. Open and spread the back surface A of the mask part 1-1, and place the urethane mask 33 on top of the vertical suture line that runs vertically from point D on the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1 to the lower edge 5 from the sewing part 30. Open and spread the urethane mask 33, overlap the vertical seam lines in the center of the urethane mask 33, and sew together at the connection part 35p to attach it. General urethane masks are generally made to feel good against the skin, and the area around the nose in particular curves from the cheek to the bridge of the nose to match the shape of the cheek and nose. Therefore, when spreading out the back surface A of mask part 1-1 and spreading out the back surface of urethane mask 33 on top, overlap it so that it protrudes about 2 to 3 cm above upper edge 4 of mask part 1-1 where the part of urethane mask 33 that touches the nose intersects with point D. The part of the urethane mask 33 that touches the nose and the part that overlaps with point D on the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1 are attached by sewing the urethane mask 33, which extends about 2 cm to 3 cm above the upper edge 4, along the upper edge 4 at the connection part 34o. Furthermore, along the vertical seam that continues from sewing part 30 where it intersects with point D on the upper edge 4 of mask part 1-1, the central vertical suture line of urethane mask 33 layered on mask part 1-1 is sewn at connecting part 35p to the bottom where urethane mask 33 touches the chin. When viewed from the front of mask part 1-1, attach it by sewing it to the center of mask part 1-1 so that it forms a Y or T shape. Depending on the type of urethane mask 33, the angle of the connection 34o may approach horizontal or may become Y-shaped or T-shaped. Mask part 1-1 and urethane mask 33 are attached by sewing vertically along the central vertical seam of urethane mask 33 from point D to near the chin of urethane mask 33 with connecting part 35p, so mask part 1-1 and urethane mask 33 are firmly attached. Therefore, connecting part 34o is not necessary, but since connecting part 34o is present, when mask part 1-1 is put on the face and the part of urethane mask 33 that touches the nose spreads out when towel body 1 or mask part 1-1 is spread out, it can be put on the face quickly, so it is better to have connecting part 34o attached. By overlapping the center of the back surface A of the mask part 1-1 and the center of the vertical seam of the urethane mask 33 and sewing them vertically from point D of the mask part 1-1 to near the chin at the connection part 35p, the mask part does not adhere too tightly with fewer connection parts, making it less likely to slip or crease. In addition, since the mask part 1-1 and the urethane mask 33 only overlap at the area where both cheeks touch, the left and right sides of the connection part 35p can be turned up and there is space, so the mask 1-1 dries easily after washing. When worn on the face, it can be used as a double mask by overlapping mask section 1-1 while maintaining the elasticity that is one of the characteristics of urethane masks. In addition to general urethane masks, it can be layered with nylon masks, polyurethane masks, polyester masks, and other washable masks or masks made of washable materials. The first urethane mask 33, which protrudes approximately 2 to 3 cm above the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1, covers the face from the cheeks to the bridge of the nose, and the upper edge 4 of the overlapping second mask part 1-1 presses the first urethane mask 33 against the face from roughly the tip of the nose toward the left and right ears. The first urethane mask 33 covers from the cheeks to the bridge of the nose, creating a double mask from the tip of the nose to around the chin, relieving the feeling of pressure around the nose when breathing, and the vertically rounded mask section 1-1 leaves space from the nose to the mouth, making it easier to breathe, even when wearing two masks at the same time. When sewing vertically from point D around the tip of the nose where connecting part 34o and connecting part 35p intersect, you can either sew at sewing part 30 or at connecting part 35p. For example, fold urethane mask 33 in half and place the vertical central seam in the notch of sewing part 30, then sew at sewing part 30 or connecting part 35p. In Figure 14-2, where two masks are attached together, the mask also has double ear straps. However, it is possible to wear the mask on your face by hanging either the left ear band 6 and the right ear band 7 of the mask part 1-1 around your ears, or by hanging the ear straps of the urethane mask 33 around your ears. In the event of an emergency such as a disaster, the first urethane mask 33 and the second mask part 1-1 are double-layered, so breathing is ensured when wearing the mask on the face, and the ear loops can be doubled to fit snugly around the ears. If you adjust the left ear band 6 and the right ear band 7 to a size that is convenient for you so that you can quickly put the mask on your face in an emergency, you will be able to respond quickly in the event of a disaster. Since there is a urethane mask 33 between the mask part 1-1 and the face, which is comfortable against the skin, there is no need to make left cheek 8 and right cheek 9. If you feel that the mask is pressing too hard against your cheeks, you can make the ear straps 8 on the left cheek and 9 on the right cheek, or, for example, make the length of the ear straps about 20cm to 30cm and tie them into a loop, or use an auxiliary tool to adjust the length, such as an adjuster or bead fastener, so that you can adjust the length of the ear straps.
[0037] In Figure 15, the mask part 1-1 is folded in half so that the back side A is the front, and then folded so that the front and back sides are facing out. One point on the upper edge 4 from the center folded fold B is sutured with 3 to 5 stitches, for example, about 7 cm away.
[0038] Figure 16 shows the back surface A of the mask part 1-1 in Figure 15, in which the left nose pad 10 and the right nose pad 11 are wide, and when the mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, the gap between the cheeks and the bridge of the nose can be almost completely blocked. Furthermore, by pulling the central fold B, which includes the left nose pad 10 and the right nose pad 11, upwards, you can cover the entire bridge of your nose.
[0039] In Figure 17, when the mask part 1-1 is not worn on the face, the towel body 1 is placed around the center line 15 behind the neck, and the right edge 2 hanging forward from the left shoulder is passed through the left ear rubber 6 and right ear rubber 7 on the left edge 3, so that the mask can be fastened around the neck or chest.
[0040] In Figure 18, when the towel body 1 is draped around the center line 15 behind the neck and the mask part 1-1 is worn around the face with the right edge 2 hanging forward from the left shoulder and the left edge 3 hanging forward from the right shoulder, as shown in Figures 10 and 13, the left edge 3 and the corner where the bottom edge 5 intersect at a right angle and the upper edge 4 of the right edge 2 overlap around the left shoulder and near the left side of the neck, but if a hook-and-loop fastener, snap button, or for example, an upper simple button 31 and a lower simple button 32 are attached to the overlapping parts, it can be fastened around the neck. The mask part 1-1 can be worn on the face while fastening the upper and lower simple buttons 31 and 32. The mask part 1-1 can be worn on the face while fastening the upper and lower simple buttons 31 and 32. As shown in Figures 10 and 13, when the mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, the ear straps of the mask part 1-1 are hung on both ears because the towel body 1 is wider than that of a general mask. The lower edge 5 of the right ear side of the mask part 1-1, which is integrated with the towel body 1, is supported from the back of the neck to the right shoulder, from the lower corner of the right ear strap 7 of the mask part 1-1 to the right shoulder. However, the lower edge 5 of the mask part 1-1, which is under the chin in front of the face, is supported by the lower corner of the right ear strap 7 of the mask part 1-1. There are gaps between the chin and neck, and between the chin and chest, and the mask is suspended in mid-air. The corner between the lower edge 5 on the front of the face and the left edge 3 toward the left ear, i.e., the lower corner of the left ear elastic 6 of mask part 1-1, is in contact with the left shoulder, but there is a gap and it is not fixed, so it is unstable. By fastening it with the upper and lower simple buttons 31 and 32, the lower left corner of mask part 1-1 is also stabilized and can rest on the left shoulder, supporting mask part 1-1. The towel body 1 is placed around the back of the neck along its center line 15, and the upper edge 4 of the right edge 2 hanging forward from the left shoulder, the left edge 3 of the left edge 3 hanging forward from the right shoulder, and the corners where the lower edge 5 intersect at right angles are fastened with upper 31 and lower 32 simple buttons. This allows the lower corners of the mask part 1-1 to be supported on both shoulders, making the towel body 1 and the mask part 1-1 more stable. The upper simple button 31 and the lower simple button 32 can be attached on either side as long as the towel body 1 can be fastened mainly around the neck and chest. The mask part 1-1 can always be attached around the neck. There are many situations in everyday life when you may want to cover your face suddenly, such as when the sun suddenly shines, when dust suddenly starts to fly, or when hanging out laundry outside in the middle of summer. If you keep it around your neck or chest, you can respond immediately. When the mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, the right edge 2 hangs down over the left shoulder. However, due to vibrations caused by walking or when the wind blows, the mask may slip off the left shoulder or be blown away behind the back. To prevent this, fasten the mask around the neck using the upper and lower buttons 31 and 32. By fastening the mask around your neck using the upper and lower buttons 31 and 32, you can keep the mask part 1-1 around your neck even if you remove the left ear band 6 and leave the right ear band 7 over your right ear. This means that if you have a cold, you can eat while keeping your neck warm, and if you start to cough, you can quickly put the left ear band 6 over your left ear to cover your mouth and prevent yourself from coughing.
[0041] As shown in Figs. 1, 2-1 to 2-8, 3-1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14-2, 16, 17, 18, etc., the material of the towel body 1 is cotton terry cloth, and the mask part 1-1 attached to one side of the center line 15 of the back surface A of the towel body 1 toward the left includes a nose pad part 14, a nose pad triangular bag 12, a left cheek 8, and a right cheek 9. When worn on the face, the area around the center line 15 is placed behind the neck, and the right edges of both the left and right ends are attached to the right side of the mask part 1-1. The right ear rubber 7 of the mask part 1-1 is placed over the right ear and the left ear rubber 6 is placed over the left ear, and the mask part 1-1 is attached to the towel body 1 so that it can be worn on the face and cover the nose to mouth between the ears. The mask part 1-1 is integrated with the towel body 1. We will explain examples of use as the mask part 1-1 and examples of use with the center line 15 placed behind the neck.
[0042] When using mask part 1-1, the total weight of towel body 1 is divided into two by hanging the area around center line 15 behind the neck and hanging forward from the left and right shoulders, and mask part 1-1 is supported by the neck, right shoulder, right ear, and left ear, so the perceived weight is distributed (see Figures 10, 13, etc.). The towel body (1), left ear band (6), and right ear band (7) can be used in a variety of situations by changing the length, width, material, attachment method, and position depending on the purpose of use. For example, if towel body 1 is made of a soft, stretchy material, it will feel good against your skin as it wraps around your face, and when you put it on your face, you can fine-tune mask part 1-1 by using left ear rubber 6 and right ear rubber 7. For example, towel material absorbs moisture well and is easy to soak up sweat (see Figures 1, 3, 10, 13, etc.). For example, if you want to make towel body 1 out of two different materials, separate the left and right materials at center line 15 and sew them together at center line 15. If the left edge 3 directions from the center line 15 are made of elastic material and the right edge 2 directions from the center line 15 are made of towel material, when the mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, the mask part 1-1 is elastic, so it feels soft on the skin, and the right edge 2 directions are made of towel material, which is excellent at absorbing moisture. Also, the material can be divided and sewn closer to the left edge 3 directions and closer to the right edge 2 directions than the center line 15. For example, if only the mask part 1-1 is made of a material that feels cold to the touch and connected to towel material, it will be easy to use during exercise or in a sauna (see Figures 10, 13, etc.).
[0043] Since face sizes and nose heights vary from person to person, it is preferable to have adjustable ear straps that can be adjusted to fit your size. If it is difficult to adjust the ear straps, you can combine the one in Figure 2-8 with another ear strap and attach both (see Figures 1, 2-1 to 2-8, 3, 9, 10, 13, 14-2, etc.). For example, when used in a sauna, if the mask is made of a thin fabric that feels cool to the touch and is about 50 cm long and 120 cm wide, it will absorb sweat and not become heavy, and it will retain moisture, so you can expect beauty benefits. Furthermore, the hot air from the sauna will not hit your face directly, so it will relieve dry lips, and the right edge 2 will be wide enough to cover your chest. For men, placing the right edge 2 on your head will help relieve dry hair (see Fig. 10, 13, etc.).
[0044] For example, when you are going to be sun-protected for a long time at the sea or a river, if you use a UV-blocking fabric with a length of about 50 cm and a width of about 120 cm, it will be wide enough to cover the mask part 1-1, the neck area, and the shoulders and back which are prone to sunburn. You can fasten it around your neck with the upper simple button 31 and the lower simple button 32, and it will not fly away even if the wind blows, and you can protect yourself from the sun (see Figs. 10, 13, 17, 18, etc.).
[0045] For example, when the towel body 1 is used as a stole or a long scarf, you can wear the mask part 1-1 on your face and wrap the right edge 2 around your neck to provide stylish protection from the sun. By fastening it around your neck or chest with the upper and lower simple buttons 31 and 32, you can wear it stylishly even with clothes that have an open neckline (see Figures 10, 13, 17, 18, etc.).
[0046] For example, when towel body 1 is used as a hand towel, it has good breathability, so heat does not build up even when mask part 1-1 is worn on the face after a bath, and it has a moisturizing effect after conditioning the skin with lotion, etc. (See Figs. 10, 13, etc.)
[0047] When making the material of towel body 1 in Figure 3 out of a thin or soft fabric and making nose pad 14 on mask part 1-1, it is possible to fold upper edge 4 up to the left ear rubber 6 and right ear rubber 7 and sew it on when folding upper edge 4 to back side A of mask part 1-1, as long as the areas that touch the sides of the face and above the ears do not become thicker, impairing visibility or making it difficult to wear glasses. If there is a little thickness above the ears, mask part 1-1 will be easier to hook onto the ears. In particular, if it is hooked over the top of the right ear, mask part 1-1 can be supported by right ear rubber 7 and the entire right ear. Therefore, for example, when you want to have a drink, you can move left ear rubber 6 away from the left ear and mask part 1-1 will be able to hang stably over your right ear (see Figures 3, 9, etc.). In addition, when making the triangular nose pad bag 12, it is better to fold the upper edge 4 by about 10 cm to the back A or front of the mask part 1-1, or to use a cloth such as silk or cotton that feels good against the skin to reinforce it and make it thicker, which will make it easier to maintain the space around the nose up to the nose tip 13 (see Figs. 4 to 12, etc.).
[0048] It is possible to make breathing easier by creating space around the nose and mouth by attaching or mounting wire, shape-retaining tape, plastic, etc. to the upper edge 4 of the mask part 1-1. However, extreme caution is required as there is a risk of injury if the wire, shape-retaining tape, plastic, etc. protrudes from the mask part 1-1 or breaks off (see Figures 3, 10, 13, etc.). When the mask part 1-1 is worn on the face, there are gaps around the lower edge 5 on the front of the face between the chin and neck, between the chin and chest, and between the neck and shoulders, which allows good ventilation and allows the wearer to feel comfortable, for example, even in a rock bath or sauna (see Figs. 10, 13, etc.).
[0049] The humidity in a bedrock bath or sauna is low, and breathing in the hot, dry air can easily damage the throat and airways, so the mask part 1-1 keeps the humidity in the respiratory tract and also allows the right edge 2 to be used to wipe away sweat (see Figs. 10, 13, etc.). Even if you sweat around your nose and mouth inside mask part 1-1, the towel fabric of mask part 1-1 will absorb the sweat if you press your face over mask part 1-1 (see Figures 10, 13, etc.).
[0050] In rock saunas and other saunas where a lot of sweat is released, women tend to want to keep their faces bare, and the towel body 1 is equipped with a mask 1-1 that can quickly cover the lower half of the face, reducing the amount of exposed face, making it harder for individuals to be recognized, and reducing the gazes of others and embarrassment (see Figs. 10, 13, 18, etc.).
[0051] Large-scale spas and hot springs are increasingly offering facilities such as rock saunas where men and women can bathe together, and the towel body 1 is integrated with the mask part 1-1, allowing people to relax and enjoy the bath with peace of mind knowing that they can quickly cover their face at any time (see Figs. 10, 13, 18, etc.).
[0052] It is common to walk around a spa or hot spring with a towel draped over the back of one's neck. Since mask part 1-1 is integrated with the towel, it is possible to quickly cover the face at all times, and women can walk around the facility with confidence even with their bare faces after bathing (see Figs. 10, 13, 18, etc.).
[0053] When wearing a yukata, the chest area is easily exposed, which can be unsettling and bothersome, but if you fasten it using the simple buttons at the top 31 and bottom 32, the area around the right edge 2 will cover the chest area, allowing you to relax without worry (see Figure 18, etc.).
[0054] After taking a bath, it can be used as a normal towel to dry your body (see Figure 1). On a hot summer day, if you go out with towel body 1 draped over the back of your neck, towel body 1 will absorb the sweat that drips down your neck, keeping your collar and back from getting wet and comfortable (see Figs. 17, 18, etc.). You can wipe sweat from your forehead around the right edge 2, so you don't have to search for a handkerchief in your bag or pocket (see Figures 17, 18, etc.).
[0055] When wearing the mask part 1-1 on the face and exercising outdoors such as jogging, the towel body 1 hanging behind the neck absorbs sweat dripping down from the neck, and the front, both sides and back of the neck of the mask part 1-1 and the lower edge 5 protect the ears and neck from the sun and insects while running. After using exercise equipment, when washing your hands, you can wipe them around the right edge 2. In addition, when exercising without wearing the mask part 1-1 on the face, the right edge 2 can be passed through the left and right ear bands 6 and 7 and fastened around the neck or chest, or the upper and lower simple buttons 31 and 32 can be fastened around the neck, allowing the user to exercise while keeping the towel body 1 around the neck without it dropping off, even when running or doing strenuous exercise (see Figs. 10, 13, 17, 18, etc.).
[0056] When going out in midsummer, you can put mask part 1-1 on your face, wear a hat and sunglasses to protect your head and face from the sun, hang towel body 1 around your neck around center line 15 to protect the back of your neck from the sun, and fasten upper 31 and lower 32 simple buttons around your neck or chest to protect your neck and chest from the sun (see Figures 10, 13, 17, 18, etc.). In midsummer, even if you use a parasol to avoid direct sunlight from above, there is still glare from the ground, so you can wear mask part 1-1 on your face to shade the area from your nose to your neck, and then fasten upper simple button 31 and lower simple button 32 around your neck or chest to shade your neck and chest (see Figures 10, 13, 17, 18, etc.). When having a barbecue, the mask part 1-1 worn on the face prevents you from directly inhaling ash and smoke flying from the charcoal and protects your respiratory organs from the hot air from the charcoal fire. On sunny days when camping or doing outdoor activities, wear mask part 1-1 on your face, fold the two right edges that hang forward from your left shoulder over the top of your head, and let them hang down toward your right ear. If you wear a hat over it, it will absorb sweat from your head and protect your face and neck from the sun and insects (see Figures 10, 13, etc.).
[0057] When caught up in a terrorist attack, disaster, fire, etc., you would normally hold a handkerchief or towel in your hand to cover your nose and mouth, and evacuate with one or both hands covered. However, by wearing the mask part 1-1 on your face, you can protect your respiratory organs from the hot air of the fire and avoid inhaling smoke and soot directly, and you can use both hands, making it easier to evacuate. The mask part 1-1 is made of cloth, so it can be wetted with water and wrung out. If you are caught up in a disaster while out and about, you can wet the mask part 1-1 with water from a plastic bottle you have and wear it on your face to further prevent smoke (see Figures 10, 13, 14-2, etc.). When a volcano erupts, volcanic ash has sharp edges and can cause health problems if it enters the lungs, so in an emergency, you can wear mask part 1-1 over a regular non-woven mask, urethane mask, nylon mask, etc. to double up the mask and improve the fit and dust protection effect of the mask. As shown in Figures 14-1 and 14-2, if you always have a double mask ready, you will not have to panic in an emergency (see Figures 10, 13, 14-1, 14-2, 16, etc.). If you keep it as one of your emergency equipment, you can make effective use of it at your evacuation site, both as a towel and as a mask 1-1. For example, if you are injured and bleeding, you can tie the wound with towel 1 to stop the bleeding. If you break a bone, you can support the bone by tightly tying towel 1 to the fractured part as a splint. In the evacuation area, it is difficult for women to apply makeup, so they can wear the mask 1-1 on their face to avoid being seen. It is also difficult for women to take a bath, so they can use the towel 1 to dry their bodies or wrap it around their heads to tie up their hair (see Figures 1, 3, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14-2, etc.). When you want to sleep during a long-distance flight, ship, or bus trip, you can use it as an eye mask by covering the nose and mouth with mask part 1-1, supporting the neck with center line 15 of towel body 1 draped behind the neck to relieve neck pain, and placing right edge 2 over the eyes (see Figs. 10, 13, etc.).
[0058] Regular eye masks are designed to cover the eyes tightly in order to block out light, and women who wear delicate eye makeup tend to avoid using them even if they want to, as they are concerned about their makeup running. However, as the right edge 2 of this eye mask rests gently over the eyes, it prevents makeup from running, blocks out light, and allows you to sleep peacefully without worrying about others seeing your sleeping face (see Figs. 10, 13, etc.). For example, if the towel body 1 or the mask part 1-1 has the tour name, bus company name, telephone number, website, etc. printed on it during a bus trip, it can be used as advertising or a souvenir. For example, if you get lost on the trip and panic, knowing your contact information will give you peace of mind and make it easier to find each other (see Figs. 10, 13, 17, 18, etc.). If you feel short of breath while wearing the mask 1-1 on your face, place only the left ear loop 6 over your left ear to prevent it from slipping off your face, and expose your nose through the top of the mask 1-1. The area around your mouth will be kept moist by the mask 1-1 (see Figures 10, 13, etc.). Generally, muffler towels are often sold as cheering goods for sports events or concerts. When you put on the mask part 1-1 with the team, person, or mark you are cheering for printed on it, it increases the sense of unity in the venue, lifts your spirits, and makes watching and cheering more exciting. Especially when watching sports outdoors or attending concerts, the towel itself can provide shade in the summer and protection from the cold in the winter. It can also be used as a simple mask during cold and flu seasons, helping to prevent infection. After a sporting event or concert, you can keep them as mementos, or use them as a makeshift mask or sunshade when you go out, or use them in hot springs or saunas. This can also be a great advertising tool (see Figures 10, 13, 17, 18, etc.). In winter, when you wear the mask part 1-1 on your face, whether at home or when you go out, you can expect a moisturizing effect on the area around your face, preventing infection and catching a cold. In addition, as a countermeasure against the cold, if you turn the right edge 2 that hangs forward from your left shoulder to your right shoulder, it will have a heat-retaining effect on the area around your neck, warming your neck and shoulders and easing stiff shoulders, and you can use it as a replacement for a scarf or other item to protect yourself from the cold. For example, when you go to bed, you can sleep with your neck warmed by draping the towel body 1 around the center line 15 behind your neck and tucking the right edge 2 and left edge 3 that hang down in front of your shoulders into the neck area of your nightwear or pajamas. Also, if you encounter a disaster in the middle of the night, you can sleep with the towel body 1 close to your body (see Figures 10, 13, 17, 18, etc.). When cleaning, wear the mask part 1-1 on your face to avoid inhaling dirt when sweeping the garden, dust that flies around when cleaning the air conditioner, or detergent with a pungent smell (see Figs. 10, 13, 16, etc.). Mask part 1-1 can be used as a simple mask when gardening, repairing the house, washing the car, mixing fertilizer, or for smelling wood chips or paint (see Figs. 10, 13, 14-2, 16, etc.). When working outdoors, such as in agricultural or dairy farming, the mask part 1-1 is worn on the face to protect the body from direct sunlight, dust, mosquitoes, insects, etc., and the simple buttons 31, 32 are fastened around the neck or chest. The right edge 2 can be used to wipe sweat or to wipe hands after washing (see Figs. 10, 13, 18, etc.).
[0059] When the mask part 1-1 is not needed, you can use it as a normal muffler towel by cutting off the left ear band 6 and the right ear band 7 (see Figure 1, etc.). If the towel body 1 feels good against the skin and does not obstruct vision, the left cheek 8 and right cheek 9 are not necessary (see Figs. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14-1, 14-2, etc.). For example, to prepare for emergencies, make the towel body 1 in Figure 14-2 out of a lightweight, soft, stretchy material so that it feels soft against the skin and wraps around the face, and tie the ear loops as shown in Figure 2-8 on the left ear rubber 6 and the right ear rubber 7 so that they go around the back of the head. In an emergency, simply slip it over your head and face to ensure proper breathing. Even if you put it on your head in a hurry, the material is soft so it won't hurt your face, and Mask Part 1-1 can be hung around your neck, so you can always evacuate with both Urethane Mask 33 and Mask Part 1-1 ready. You can quickly put it over your head and let it hang around your neck, and then once you have calmed down, you can put the urethane mask 33 and mask part 1-1 on your face. Mask part 1-1 presses against the face from above the urethane mask 33, ensuring a firm fit to the face. They can be used as towels at the evacuation site (see Figures 2-8, 10, 13, 14-2, etc.). Mask section 1-1 is attached with the width of an adult's face apart, but by narrowing the width of the face at which the left and right ear straps are attached, it can also be used by children. For example, as shown in Figure 14-2, a child-sized urethane mask or the like can be placed over the mask portion 1-1 of the towel body 1 and sewn together at connection portions 34o and 35p to be used as a double mask. For example, if a fire breaks out at school, you will evacuate by holding a handkerchief over your mouth and nose to prevent inhaling smoke. If you wear Mask Part 1-1 on your face and are able to use both hands, you will be able to place both hands on the floor or ground in the event of a fall, increasing the chances of avoiding injury. When coming to rescue, it will be easier to hold a child's hand and evacuate. Since smoke rises, it is dangerous to step on or get caught on the right edge 2 hanging forward from the left shoulder when evacuating by lowering one's body, so the towel can be fastened to the neck or chest with the upper and lower simple buttons 31 and 32, or, as another embodiment, the upper and lower simple buttons 31 and 32 can be made into hook-and-loop fasteners, allowing it to be fastened to the neck quickly and easily. For elderly people and small children, etc., where it is difficult to fasten the towel to the neck or chest with the upper and lower simple buttons 31 and 32, as another embodiment, the upper and lower simple buttons 31 and 32 can be replaced with elastic cords and attached so that they are connected with the elastic cords. The towel can be stretched and contracted around the neck and chest, and the mask part 1-1 can be provided around the neck or chest simply by putting the ring-shaped towel body 1 over the head. Put mask part 1-1 on your face and wrap the right edge 2 hanging forward from your left shoulder around the front of your face and neck, then put on the disaster prevention hood. The right edge 2 will fit inside the disaster prevention hood, and the disaster prevention hood will hold down the right edge 2, allowing you to use both hands while maintaining breathing and allowing you to evacuate safely. When wearing the helmet, the chin strap holds the right edge 2 and towel body 1 close to the neck and face for support. For small children, it is easier to use if the size of towel body 1 is made smaller, for example, about 75cm to 85cm wide and 7cm to 15cm long. Make a double mask with a urethane mask or the like and mask part 1-1, and sew them together at connection parts 34o and 35p. If you use the left ear loop 6 and the right ear loop 7 as shown in Fig. 2-8 and wrap both of them around the back of the head from both ears, you can put the mask part 1-1 on your face by pulling it over your head. Adults evacuating with you or rescuers can also quickly put it on your face. Also, if you weave your name into the towel body 1 or the mask part 1-1, it will be easier to find if you get lost (see Fig. 1, 2-8, 10, 13, 14-2, 18, etc.). Due to the function of the right and left brain, most people are right-handed, and for right-handed people, it is easier to place the mask part 1-1 on the left edge in the direction 3 over the ears, but for left-handed people, the left and right sides are reversed and the mask part 1-1 is made on the right edge in the direction 2. Make the mask part 1-1 on the upper right part of the back of the towel body 1, closer to the right side of the center line 15 (see Figure 1, etc.). As long as mask part 1-1 can be worn on the face to cover the nose and mouth, any method of wearing it and any material may be used.
