Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention is an invention of a new mask or face shield in the midst of the raging novel coronavirus.
Background Art
[0002] Although the novel coronavirus is increasing in person-to-person infection, it simply covers the face with a mask or face shield to defend against droplets and prevent contact infection with the novel coronavirus only by regular handwashing, etc. However, with the highly infectious novel coronavirus, the infection is still spreading.
Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0003] Even when wearing a mask or face shield to prevent droplet infection and trying to wash hands to prevent contact infection from hands, etc., it is only possible in places where there is running water, etc., and it is impossible, for example, in a train, etc. Every time you touch an object, you are at risk of infection with the novel coronavirus, etc. Therefore, the inventor of the present application has conducted intensive studies and has invented an epoch-making mask or face shield.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0004] The present invention is a mask or face shield to be worn on the face, which is used as an anti-contact infection seal after use.
Effects of the Invention
[0005] According to the present invention, it can not only be used as a mask or face shield to protect against the novel coronavirus, but also prevent contact infection by sticking it to places where hands touch, such as handrails and buttons, after use. Moreover, the surface of the transparent sheet peeled off from the mask or face shield is antibacterial and thus clean. Moreover, after it has been used as a mask or face shield, the liner can be peeled off, making it efficient for preventing contact infection and offering high cost performance. Furthermore, a major drawback of conventional masks is 1. "Hot" Conventional masks trap heat, causing the temperature to rise. This can lead to "heatstroke". 2. "Difficult to breathe" Conventional masks reduce the amount of air inhaled, with a 29% decrease in oxygen. They also trap the exhaled air, resulting in a 71% increase in carbon dioxide. 3. "Risk of infecting others with COVID-19" due to the mesh 4. "Risk of infecting others with COVID-19" due to the mesh 5. When eating The mask has to be removed, allowing the coronavirus to enter and cause infection. 6. Glasses fog up. 7. Bad for the head Masks with ear loops compress the ears. There are blood vessels near the ears that lead to the brain, which can be harmful to the head. 8. Bad breath People wearing conventional masks unconsciously open their mouths inside the mask, i.e., they breathe through their mouths. This causes the mouth to dry out, leading to the formation of tongue coating. Bacteria multiply on the taste buds, generating hydrogen sulfide, which results in bad breath. 9. Premature aging of the face Due to facial sagging, nasolabial folds become deeper and longer, causing the face to age. This is because the masseter muscle (major zygomatic muscle) weakens. When speaking while wearing a mask, the electromyogram amplitude of the masseter muscle decreases by 39% to 69% compared to when not wearing a mask. Academically, this is called "oral function decline syndrome". This leads to cheek sagging, the angle of the nasolabial fold decreases, becoming deeper and longer. The nasolabial fold is usually 92 degrees, but drops to 80 degrees when wearing a mask. This is because the mouth area is hidden by the mask, preventing facial expressions. Academically, this is called "love mimicry". That is, it is because expressions of having goodwill towards people close to one are not conveyed to the other party. 10. The skin deteriorates Ordinary people think that a mask blocks ultraviolet rays and do not apply sunscreen. Sunscreen, that is, the ultraviolet protection factor, is called SPF, and 50+ is required in summer. Even outside of summer, 20 - 30 is required. In contrast, a mask has only an SPF of 4. That is, a mask cannot protect against ultraviolet rays. For example, a non-woven mask allows 29.5% of ultraviolet rays to pass through. As a result, the skin deteriorates, and spots and wrinkles occur. In contrast, the present invention 1. Releases "not hot" hot air downward 2. "Easy to breathe" because the main body serves as a spring that expands the nasal cavity, breathing is more comfortable than with ordinary masks. 3. "Does not get infected with other people's corona" because there are no meshes 4. "Does not infect others with corona" because there are no meshes 5. "Can eat and drink while wearing a mask" because there is an eating and drinking insertion port 6. "Glasses do not fog up" because exhaled air does not rise 7. "Brain function improves" because there are no ear loops 8. "No bad breath odor" because the tongue coating does not increase 9. "No sagging of the face" because the masseter muscle (zygomaticus major) does not atrophy 10. "Good for the skin" because it has an SPF of 90+ and thus blocks UV rays, so there is no sunburn and the skin does not hurt. 11. The present invention consists of 9 layers and includes various functions 12. "The lightest in the world" 1.3 g (1 / 3 of a general mask) 13. "The thinnest in the world" 0.05 mm (1 / 20 of a general mask) 14. "Comfortable because you don't feel like you're wearing it" 15. Glasses do not fog up and the coronavirus does not enter from the nose and mouth. 16. "Sterilizes" because the main body is made of a sterilizing material. Since it sterilizes and discharges exhaled air, it does not infect others with COVID-19. Also, since it sterilizes and inhales inhaled air, it does not get infected with COVID-19 from others 17. "Since the mouth area is not hidden, words become clear and the voice does not get muffled" Therefore, communication with the other party becomes clear. 18. Complies with the government policy of SDGs·Carbon Neutral. "Low generation of carbon dioxide and prevention of global warming" Since the amount of breathing and generation is small, the amount of carbon dioxide decreases 19. Since a reflective material can be attached, it is "safe to pass at night". 20. It can be clipped anywhere and "can be carried". 21. After using it as a "strap", peel off the front liner and stick it on handrails, buttons, etc. to prevent contact infection with antibacterial and antiviral properties.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0007] Known masks or face shields are discarded after use.
[0008] On the contrary, since the present invention is a mask or a face shield composed of a transparent body with an antibacterial layer and a peelable liner on the surface, it can be pasted on contact parts such as handrails and buttons without being discarded after use, thereby preventing contact infection.
[0009] As shown in FIG. 1, the first embodiment of the present invention is a mask having a medical adhesive part 2 that does not damage the skin and adheres to the root of the nose on the main body 1 having antibacterial properties. As shown in FIG. 4, the main body 1 is composed of a transparent body, an antibacterial layer, a PSA layer containing a UV material, and a liner. In FIG. 1, the attachment of the product of the present invention to the wearer is to remove the liners 13 and 202 and attach a pair of skin adhesive parts 2 to the left and right of the root of the nose to cover the nose and mouth and defend against virus droplets.
[0010] For the details of the main body configuration, as shown in FIG. 4, first, a transparent body 10 with PSA 22 provided on both sides of a carrier 21 is attached to a transparent body film 10. Next, a medical adhesive 20 coated on a transparent carrier 201 is coated on the PSA 22 and then pasted. On this, a liner 202, These are collectively referred to as the medical adhesive part 2. And Furthermore, on top of that the liner 13 is provided over the entire inner side of the main body film is covered. On the outer side of the main body film 10, a PSA adhesive layer 12 and a liner 13 are provided over the entire surface. The main body 1 is preferably transparent, but may be opaque except for the part corresponding to the eyes when the main body 1 is used as a mask. The main body 1 preferably has a thickness of 200 to 50 microns. To use this, first Inside the main body film 10 Peel off the liner 13, then peel off the liner 202 of the skin adhesive part, and adhere the skin PSA 20 to the left and right parts at the base of the nose. The skin PSA 20 is adhered with a medical skin-friendly adhesive material, which is composed of a carrier 201 and a skin PSA 22. The liner 13 on the outer side of the main body film 10 is used as the mask main body 1 without being peeled off. Next, when the main body 1 worn on the face is no longer in use, instead of discarding it, use the antibacterial layer 11, the transparent body 10, and the PSA layer 12 containing the UV material as the main body 1. Peel off the liner sheet 13 in the direction of the arrow, and the adhesive surface 12 appears. Then, use the antibacterial layer 11 side of the sheet, which is the peeled-off main body 1, as shown in Figure 5. If the adhesive surface 12 is pasted on a handrail, a button, etc., contact infection can be prevented.
[0011] It can also be applied to the earphone mask in Figure 1 or the face shield in Figure 3. Also, the main body 1 is preferably a transparent or opaque plastic or film that has been treated with antibacterial and UV protection. It can also be included in the PSA layer. The liner sheet is a transparent or opaque film or sheet. After using the main body 1 as a mask or a face shield, the liner sheet can be peeled off from the main body 1 having the antibacterial layer, the UV material, and the PSA layer, and then pasted on a handrail, a button, etc. for contact protection.
[0012] According to the first embodiment, the one used as a mask can be pasted on a handrail or a button that comes into contact with the hand to prevent infection.
[0013] In the second embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 2 and 5, the earhook 3 for locking the main body 1 to the ear is a mask having both side surfaces. The main body 1 is formed with an antibacterial layer and a PSA layer that blocks UV rays and a liner sheet. The difference from the first embodiment is that there is no skin adhesive part.
[0014] According to the second embodiment, similar to the first embodiment, it can prevent the novel coronavirus from entering through the nose and mouth, and after use, it can also defend against the novel coronavirus by sticking it to the places that come into contact with the hands.
[0015] In the third embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, all face shields such as (A) a type worn on the head by a belt, (B) a type hung on the ears like glasses, and (C) a type attached to the face with a medical adhesive are applicable. The cross-section of the main body is shown in FIG. 5 for (A) and (B), and FIG. 4 for (C). The main body 1 is composed of a UV blocker, antibacterial agent, PSA layer, liner sheet, etc., and the usage method is as described above.
[0016] FIG. 6(A) shows the fourth embodiment of the present invention, in which the liner 13 is peeled off from the main body 1 having an antibacterial surface and wound around the doorknob 41.
[0017] (B) shows the fifth embodiment of the present invention, in which the liner 13 is peeled off and the antibacterial main body 1 is pasted on the button 44 of the receiver 43. It can also be wound around the receiver 43, and the phone number buttons are pressed with the fingertips on the main body 1.
