Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 7-275384

Until now, sanitary masks have often been used in the winter when colds and flu are prevalent, and rarely used in the summer.
However, due to the spread of new infectious diseases, it is now necessary to wear hygiene masks even in the summer.
However, conventional cloth or non-woven sanitary masks are uncomfortable when worn during hot summer days because they get wet with sweat and stick to the nose and mouth, and hygiene masks wet with sweat on the side are also dirty. Looks like. Especially for workers who work outdoors or deliver packages, wearing sanitary masks in the summer was extremely difficult.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object thereof is to provide a sanitary mask that can be used throughout the year.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention
It can be changed into a wearing form with an almost bow shape and a flat non-wearing form in which the left and right inner surfaces meet with each other around the tip of the bow.
The whole is made of sheet material,
A main part that is large enough to cover the nose and mouth in the wearing form and is formed symmetrically with the tip of the bow as the center.
It is equipped with mounting parts formed on the left and right ends of the main body.
Further, the sheet material is made of a base material which is printable and has a rigidity enough to cause rebound resilience when curved, and further forms a resin film on the inner surface side thereof to form a water-repellent or waterproof structure. Provide a sanitary mask.

Further, as described in claim 2,
The main body portion is formed of one sheet material, and is formed of a single sheet material.
A central fold curve in which the tip corresponding to the tip of the bow folds in a valley when viewed from the inner surface side in a flat unfolded state, a V-cut portion that cuts both upper and lower ends of the central fold curve in a V shape, and a V-cut portion thereof. Each edge is composed of a joint formed in a border shape via an edge fold line, and is composed of a joint.
The hygiene mask according to claim 1 is provided, wherein the inner surfaces of the joint portions are bonded to each other so that the flat non-wearing form and the wearing form having a substantially bow shape can be changed.

Further, as described in claim 3, the main body portion provides the sanitary mask according to claim 1 or 2, wherein a sheet receiving piece is formed on the left and right inner surface sides of the lower portion so as to be able to receive the sheet-like object.

Further, as described in claim 4, the sheet material provides the sanitary mask according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein a resin film is formed on one side of a paper base material. ..

According to the sanitary mask of the present invention, a resin film is formed on the inner surface side of the base material of the main body to have a water-repellent or waterproof structure, so that it is not sticky even when sweated and does not bleed to the outside. .. Of course, due to the resin film on the inner surface side, the main part itself is not breathable, but when attached to the face, an appropriate space is maintained between the mouth and the tip of the bow, and the base material that constitutes the sheet material can be used. There is enough rigidity to generate repulsive elasticity when curved, so-called "stiffness", and an appropriate gap is created between the face and the face, so there is almost no suffocation.
Furthermore, since the sheet material can be printed on the outer surface side, patterns and characters can be freely applied. Moreover, since the sheet material is stiff, there is almost no wrinkle on the outer surface of the main body when it is attached to the face, so that the printed pattern or character is not unsightly and may not be deformed. Therefore, it is suitable for printing corporate advertisements and distributing them at events.

Further, according to the hygiene mask according to claim 2, when the mounting portion side is opened to the left and right from the flat non-wearing form, the upper and lower edges of the main portion are pulled to the left and right, and the joint portion forms the upper and lower ends of the central folding curve. It tilts horizontally from the starting point, which changes the flat main body into a three-dimensional multi-faceted, tip-shaped wearing form. As a result, a space with a stable shape surrounded by a sheet material is created between the inside of the central folding curve and the mouth, so that it is easy to talk without clinging around the mouth.
Further, since the inner surfaces of the joints are bonded to each other, it is not necessary to use a needle at the manufacturing stage, which eliminates the troublesome needle inspection process.

Further, according to the sanitary mask according to claim 3, since a sheet receiving piece that can be received by sandwiching a sheet-like object is formed on the inner surface side of the lower part of the main body portion, the sheet receiving piece is a non-woven fabric suitable for, for example, a mask material. It is possible to further increase the added value of the sanitary mask, such as being able to support a slightly scented sheet impregnated with a slightly scented component.

Further, according to claim 4, since the base material is paper having an appropriate so-called elasticity, a sanitary mask with clear printing can be provided at low cost. Therefore, you can wear a hygiene mask with your company's logo printed on it to serve customers, and you can take thorough measures against infectious diseases that are exchanged for each customer at low cost. Sanitary masks can be distributed at low cost.

It is a perspective view of the outer surface side of the sanitary mask which shows the wearing form. It is a perspective view of the inner surface side of the sanitary mask which shows the wearing form. It is a side view of the hygiene mask which showed the non-wearing form by a solid line and the wearing form by an imaginary line. It is a top view of the hygiene mask which shows the non-wearing form. It is a development view seen from the inner surface side of a sanitary mask. It is a development view seen from the inner surface side which shows the other form of a sanitary mask.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the sanitary mask 1 has a three-dimensional wearing form that can be described as a ship's bow shape, and as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, left and right around the tip of the bow. It can change to a flat, non-wearing form in which the inner surfaces of the swords fit together.

The hygiene mask 1 is entirely formed of the sheet material 2 except for the attachment string 10 to be described later, and has a main body portion 3 that can cover the nose and mouth when the wearing form is used, and attachments formed on the left and right ends of the main body portion 3. It consists of part 4.

The sheet material 2 is formed by forming a water-repellent or waterproof resin film 6 on the inner surface side of the base material 5. The base material 5 of the sheet material 2 is paper, is printable and bendable, and has at least a rigidity (so-called “stiffness”) to the extent that rebound resilience is generated when the sheet material 2 is bent. As a specific example of the sheet material 2, a printing paper having a thickness of about 0.18 mm is used as the base material 5, and a thin transparent coating of polypropylene can be mentioned as the resin film 6 formed on the inner surface side thereof.

The main body portion 3 has a size that can cover the nose and mouth when worn, and is formed symmetrically with the tip portion of the bow as the center.
The main body 3 is provided with a sheet receiving piece 7 projecting downward in the deployed state shown in FIG. 5 on both the left and right lower sides, and the sheet receiving piece 7 faces upward (folds over the inner surface of the main body 3). It is bent in the direction). When the sanitary mask 1 is worn, the sheet receiving piece 7 is curved in an arc shape while being folded over the main body portion 3 and is stuck to the inner surface as it is, so that unnecessary movement is restricted, so that the sheet receiving piece 7 is separately fixed. It is hard to touch the skin without taking any measures.
On the other hand, the mounting portion 4 includes a cheek pad portion 8 extending to the left and right sides of the main body portion 3, a string tube portion 9 formed by folding back the end portion of the cheek pad portion 8 inward, and a string tube portion 9 thereof. It is composed of a stretchable attachment string 10 passed through a string tube portion 9.

Next, a method for manufacturing the sanitary mask 1 will be described.
In the sanitary mask 1, the mounting portion 4 excluding the mounting string 10 and the main body portion 3 are integrated, and are cut out from the sheet material 2 in the shape shown in the developed view of FIG.
That is, the sanitary mask 1 has a central fold curve 11 and a central fold curve 11 in which the tip corresponding portion of the tip of the ridge folds in a valley when viewed from the inner surface side facing the surface in the unfolded state shown in FIG. A V-cut portion 12 that cuts the upper and lower ends of the V-cut portion into a V-shape, and joint portions 14, 14 formed in a edging shape on each edge of the V-cut portion 12 via an edge fold line 13 that is folded in a mountain in FIG. The main body portion 3 is formed from the above, and the cheek pad portion 8 extended to the left and right sides of the main body portion 3 and the two tubular folding lines 15 that are valley-folded at the end of the cheek pad portion 8 in FIG. A string tube portion 9 is continuously provided via the above, and a mounting portion 4 is configured from the string tube portion 9.

Then, first, the two tube folding lines 15 of the left and right cheek pads 8 are folded in a valley to fold the string tube 9 on the inner surface of the cheek pads 8, and the attachment portion 16 at the end of the string tube 9 is folded. Is pressed against the inner surface of the cheek pad 8 with a press machine heated to a high temperature of about 200 ° C., and the overlapping resin films 6 are heat-sealed. As a result, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 4, a triangular tubular string tube portion 9 through which the mounting string 10 can be inserted is formed.
Next, the sanitary mask 1 in the unfolded state is folded in half along the central folding curve 11 as shown in the plan view of FIG. 4, and the left and right inner surfaces face each other. In this state, the resin films 6 of the joints 14 and 14 of the main body 3 are heat-sealed in the same manner as described above. As a result, a flat sanitary mask 1 can be formed, and if necessary, the attachment string 10 is passed through the string tube portion 9 and tied in an annular shape.
The attachment string 10 may be attached with an annular rubber string before the string tube portion 9 is heat-sealed, or may not be annular, and may be tied by the user with an appropriate length according to his / her preference. May be good. In addition to the case where the attachment string 10 is hung on the ear, the attachment string 10 may be configured to connect the left and right string tube portions 9 and 9 and wind the back of the head side.

When wearing the sanitary mask 1 manufactured as described above, first, hold the mounting portion 4 side and open it to the left and right. Then, the upper and lower edges of the main body 3 are pulled to the left and right, and the joint portion 14 tilts in the horizontal direction (toward the mounting portion 4 side) starting from the upper and lower ends of the central folding curve 11 as shown in the imaginary line of FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the main body portion 3 has a three-dimensional tip having a multi-faceted structure consisting of upper and lower curved surfaces 17a and 17a having a joint portion 14 as one side and a central curved surface 17b having a central folding curve 11 as one side. It changes into a shape.
As a result, a space having a stable shape surrounded by the sheet material 2 is created between the inside of the central folding curve 11 and the mouth, so that the space does not cling to the mouth and is easy to talk. In addition, since the resin film 6 having water repellency or waterproofness is formed on the inner surface side of the sheet material 2 so that droplets and sweat do not soak into the sheet material 2, the feeling of use in a sweaty environment is improved as compared with the conventional sanitary mask. improves.

Further, since the sheet receiving piece 7 is provided on the inner surface side of the lower portion of the main body portion 3 as described above, the sheet receiving piece 7 receives, for example, a splash adsorption sheet 19 obtained by processing a non-woven fabric suitable for a mask material into a square shape. Then, it becomes possible to adsorb the droplets on the non-woven fabric in the same manner as a normal non-woven fabric sanitary mask. Further, it is also possible to attach a faint scent sheet impregnated with a faint scent component having a drowsiness awakening and healing effect to the sheet receiving piece 7 of the main body 3 to increase the added value of the hygiene mask 1.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, of course. For example, in the embodiment, the joint portions 14 are bonded by heat fusion, but they may be bonded by an adhesive.
Further, in the embodiment, the sheet receiving piece 7 is projected to the lower side of the main body portion 3 and bent, but as shown in FIG. 6, for example, a claw-shaped cut line 18 is inserted in the main body portion 3 to form an inner surface. You may push it to the side. Further, if the sheet receiving piece 7 itself is unnecessary, it may not be provided.
