Background of the invention

The use of masks, for health purposes, is common in the hospital world as protection, against possible infections, from the multiple diseases that hospitalized patients may suffer.

On certain occasions, there are people who resort to the use of masks due to suffering from certain types of allergies, their use being very frequent during the pollination season in which the indicators of pollens per cubic meter of air are very high. Its use is also very frequent in countries that have suffered epidemics to the point that, as is now the case, worldwide, its mandatory use has been decreed as a defense against certain pathogens with unknown characteristics for which effective antivirals are not known.

Although, as mentioned above, the use of masks has always been common in operating rooms or clinic, hospital and health center environments, a wide variety of masks have currently been developed and registered with the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office. specially designed for certain cases and circumstances in order to facilitate mobility and communication between people or simply to make it more comfortable to wear them for long periods of time.

Summary description of the invention

As indicated at the beginning of the document, the invention refers to a mask of those used for medical health purposes in order to protect itself and / or to protect other people from possible transmitting emissions of contagions, which has the particularity of using a frame with universal coupling pins that is combined, at the user's discretion, with a transparent screen-type accessory in order to increase the protective effect.

It is, therefore, a device that consists of two independent parts that can be coupled at will.

The first is a typical mask that covers the mouth and nose and the second is a transparent screen prepared for a quick coupling on the first in order to increase the protective effect.

The mask has as a special characteristic a deformable frame with a part that is hidden in the textile body of the mask and a visible part designed to be attached to the ears. The frame, which, as we will see, consists of an upper nose frame and a lower mouth frame, is structured with rods of ductile metal covered with silicone in such a way that it is possible to fold the mask on itself to store it in a substantially flat position. . The part of the frame that is visible behaves like the temples of ordinary glasses with the advantage that they conform to any length and are therefore suitable for people of different ages and physiognomies. The user places the mask on the face and bends the temples behind the ears, being perfectly adjusted. Multiple adjustments can be achieved without the danger of breaking the ductile metal as the radius of curvature necessary to contour the ears is relatively large. On the other hand, the coating with a tube of silicone or similar soft material favors a pleasant contact, contrary to the rubbers used in most masks, which tend to be annoying because they pull too much, disfiguring the image of the user with the ears slightly advanced . A looser fit is also possible to facilitate breathing in periods of relaxation when the wearer is alone or away from other people.

As an additional advantageous feature, the mask is equipped with small neodymium magnets, hidden in the textile body, which guarantee a closure in the above-mentioned substantially flat position during periods of non-use.

The transparent screen is similar to other existing ones, with a special pattern that is shown in the figures section of this document and has the particularity that it is equipped with ferromagnetic plates in such a way that they allow a perfect coupling of the screen on the mask , with the possibility of vertical adjustments, avoiding the need for other fastening means that logically increase the discomfort on the ears.

Detailed explanation of embodiments of the invention

Deformable frame mask with attachable screen (Figs. 1 to 5) consisting of a mask of those normally used in order to protect oneself or to protect other people from possible bodily emissions that may cause contagion, which in a preferred embodiment by Its inventor comprises a mask (1) made of textile material that may or may not be coupled with a flexible transparent plastic screen (8), both components incorporating certain means that allow them to be joined to provide greater protection.

The mask (1) is one that covers the nose and mouth of the user, being provided with a nose frame (3.1) and a mouth frame (3.2) joined together by knots (3.3). Both frames are made up of a ductile wire (4), covered by a silicone tube (5). The mouth frame (3.2) is totally hidden in the textile body of the mask, as well as a part of the nose frame (3.1) which, from the knots (3.3), is visible on the outside of the mask ( 1) intended for a similar operation to that of the temples of the usual glasses with the advantage that as it is a deformable structure, it fits easily on the wearer's ears, whatever their age or physiognomy. In (Figs. 1 and 2) the mask (1) and its deformable frame are schematized, clearly distinguishing that the mouth frame (3.2) is hidden and that the nose frame (3.1) has a hidden part and another that remains visible from the junction points or nodes (3.3).

Each free end of the nose frame (3.1) is provided with a connection (6) that finishes off said end and collects the tip of a cord (7) that, joining the part that works as temples, facilitates the wearing of the mask (1) on the neck of the user, during periods in which its placement on the face is not required.

The mask (1) also has a set of small neodymium magnets (2) placed invisibly between the fabrics that compose it as shown in (Figs. 1 and 3). These magnets (2) allow the mask (1) to be stored, folded over on itself, when not in use (Fig. 1). In (Fig. 3) the mask (1) is shown simulating the shape of its coupling on the face.

In (Fig. 4) the screen (8) is represented, which is a flexible transparent plastic sheet whose perimeter has rounded edges, although it admits other similar designs.

Its main characteristic is that, in one embodiment, it incorporates neodymium magnets (2) spaced exactly the same as the magnets (2) existing in the mask (1) (Fig. 4), upper side. In another embodiment (Fig. 4), lower side, a ferromagnetic sheet (2.1) of greater length than the distance between magnets (2) is installed.

In (Fig. 5) the coupling of the screen (8) on the mask (1) is shown, and it can be seen that on the right side the first embodiment is represented with magnets (2) at matching distances both on the screen and in mask. This implies that only one position is allowed.

If, on the other hand, the second embodiment is chosen in which the screen (8) is equipped with ferromagnetic plates (2.1), as shown on the left side of (Fig. 5), it is possible to attach the screen (8) on the mask (1) at a higher or lower height, to suit the user. As it is a solid coupling, the cord (7) has the same function as in the case of an insulated mask.

The invention, as it is conceived, allows two forms of use. The first as an isolated mask, like any other, although with the inherent advantages that have been described and the second associating the mask (1) with the screen (8) in order to increase protection.

It is not considered necessary to make the content of this description more extensive for an expert in the field to understand the scope and advantages derived from the invention, as well as to develop and put into practice the object thereof. However, it should be understood that the invention has been described according to preferred embodiments thereof, so it can be susceptible to modifications provided that this does not affect or imply any alteration of the foundation of said invention. In other words, the terms in which this preferred description of the invention has been set forth should always be taken broadly and not limitatively.
