Description

Air filter device that can see through the face This invention relates to an air filter mask device that allows the viewer to see through the face, and more particularly to an air filter mask device that has a large, aesthetically pleasing transparent sheet and improves breathing comfort when the folds are extended. Traditional face masks, in pursuit of aesthetics and uniqueness, have already incorporated transparent designs (such as the transparent face mask in Republic of China Patent No. M534617). Its disadvantages are as follows: [1] The breathable layer located in the middle of the transparent layer affects the aesthetics. In this case, the breathable layer (i.e., the middle layer) is located in the middle of the transparent layer, which visually covers the mouth and nose, seriously affecting the aesthetics. In addition, if aesthetics are desired, the transparent layer must be enlarged, but this would affect breathing. Therefore, the breathable layer located in the middle of the transparent layer affects the aesthetics. [2] An insufficiently small breathable layer affects breathing comfort. In this case, the breathable layer (i.e., the intermediate layer) is located in the middle of the transparent layer. If smooth breathing is required, the intermediate layer must be enlarged, but this would affect the aesthetics. Therefore, an insufficiently small breathable layer affects breathing comfort. In view of this, it is necessary to develop a technology that can solve the above-mentioned shortcomings of conventional methods. The purpose of this invention is to provide an air filter mask device that allows the viewer to see through the face. This device combines the advantages of a large, aesthetically pleasing transparent surface with improved breathing comfort when the pleats are extended. Specifically, this invention aims to solve problems such as the unsightly placement of the breathable layer between the transparent and conventional devices, and the insufficient size of the breathable layer affecting breathing comfort. The technical solution to the above problem is to provide an air filter mask device that can see through the face, which includes: A transparent sheet body is an airtight sheet structure; the transparent sheet system has an inner surface, an outer surface, two side edges, a top edge and a bottom edge; The two lugs are respectively fixed to the two side edges; A deformable filter section is disposed in a surrounding structure of the transparent sheet body. The deformable filter section is at least one of a porous elastic breathable structure or a multi-pleated filter sheet. The deformable filter section has an inner edge and an outer edge. The inner edge is fixed to the inner surface in a surrounding manner and is adjacent to the two side edges, the top edge, and the bottom edge. An adhesive part is fixed to the outer edge on one side and used to stick to a user on the other side. The above-mentioned objects and advantages of the present invention can be readily understood from the detailed description and accompanying drawings of the selected embodiments (and wearing application examples) below. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the following embodiments (and wearing application examples) and accompanying drawings: Referring to Figures 1A, 1B, 2, and 3, the present invention is an air filter mask device that allows vision of the face, comprising: A transparent sheet 10 is an airtight sheet structure. The transparent sheet 10 has an inner surface 11, an outer surface 12, two side edges 13, a top edge 14, and a bottom edge 15. The two hanging lugs 20 are respectively fixed to the two side edges 13. A deformable filter section 30 is disposed in a surrounding structure of the transparent sheet body 10. The deformable filter section 30 is at least one of a porous elastic breathable structure or a multi-pleated filter sheet. The deformable filter section 30 has an inner edge portion 31 and an outer edge portion 32. The inner edge portion 31 is fixed to the inner surface 11 in a surrounding shape and is adjacent to the two side edges portion 13, the top edge portion 14 and the bottom edge portion 15. An adhesive part 40 is fixed to the outer edge 32 on one side and is used to stick to a user 90 on the other side. In practice, the porous elastic breathable structure (as shown in Figure 1A, i.e., the first embodiment of this case) can be a porous filter material (e.g., a sponge). The multi-pleated filter (as shown in Figure 1B, i.e., the second embodiment of this case) can be filter paper. When it is a multi-pleated filter sheet, it has a plurality of pleats 33, which can be squeezed or stretched, and the plurality of pleats 33 are located between the inner edge 31 and the outer edge 32. The adhesive portion 40 can be a ring-shaped structure. The top edge 14 of the transparent lens 10 can correspond to one of the user's nose bridge 91 (refer to Figures 3, 4 and 5, i.e. the first and second wearing application examples of this case) or forehead 92 (refer to Figure 7, i.e. the third wearing application example of this case). Furthermore, the bottom edge 15 of the transparent sheet 10 can correspond to the chin 93 of the user 90 (see Figures 3 and 7). That is, both the first and second embodiments have at least the following wearing application examples: 1. Mask that does not cover the chin: Referring to Figures 3 and 4, the top edge 14 of the transparent sheet 10 corresponds to the bridge of the nose 91 of the user 90, and the bottom edge 15 of the transparent sheet 10 corresponds to the chin 93 of the user 90 (and does not cover the chin 93). 2. A chin-covering mask: Referring to Figures 3 and 5, the top edge 14 of the transparent sheet 10 corresponds to the bridge of the nose 91 of the user 90, and the bottom edge 15 of the transparent sheet 10 corresponds to the chin 93 of the user 90 (and covers the chin 93). 3. Face mask covering the forehead and chin: Referring to Figure 7, the top edge 14 of the transparent sheet 10 corresponds to the forehead 92 of the user 90, and the bottom edge 15 of the transparent sheet 10 corresponds to the chin 93 of the user 90 (and covers the chin 93). The key points of this case are as follows: [a] The transparent lens 10 occupies almost the entire area and is quite aesthetically pleasing. Referring to Figures 1A, 1B, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7, summarizing the first to third wearing application examples (whether masks or face shields), the transparent lens 10 occupies almost the entire area of ​​the case, making it both beautiful and elegant. [b] The multiple pleats can improve breathing comfort. Referring to Figure 6, the multiple pleats 33 can be pressed against the bridge of the nose 91 to improve the fit on the face, and can be stretched to fill the gap between the bridge of the nose 91 and the cheek. The larger area that can be stretched provides a higher flow of air 81, thereby improving breathing comfort. The advantages and benefits of this case can be summarized as follows: [1] The large area of ​​the transparent lens is quite aesthetically pleasing. In the first to third wearing application examples of this case (whether it is a mask or a face shield), the transparent lens covers almost 100% of the air filter device that sees through the face, and can see almost 100% of the user's face (especially the face shield), which is both beautiful and elegant. Therefore, the large area of ​​the transparent lens is quite aesthetically pleasing. [2] The pleats can improve breathing comfort when extended. In addition to being pressed against the bridge of the nose to improve the fit to the face, the multiple pleats can be extended to fill the gap between the bridge of the nose and the cheeks. Especially when extended, they have a larger surface area, allowing for a higher airflow, thereby improving breathing comfort. Therefore, the pleats can improve breathing comfort when extended. The above is merely a detailed description of the present invention through preferred embodiments (and wearing application examples). Any simple modifications and variations made to these embodiments (and wearing application examples) do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention. 10: Transparent sheet body 11: Inner surface 12: Outer surface 13: Side edge 14: Top edge 15: Bottom edge 20: Hanging ear 30: Deformable filter part 31: Inner edge 32: Outer edge 33: Wrinkled part 40: Adhesive part 90: User 81: Air 91: Bridge of nose 92: Forehead 93: Chin Figure 1A is a schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the present invention.
