Cover part of an openable mask and an openable mask using the same

The present invention relates to a cover part of an opening and closing type mask capable of smoothly opening and closing when ingesting beverages or food, and an opening type mask using the same.

Recently, various types of bacterial viruses that are newly generated every year pose a great threat to human health and survival. In particular, recently following SARS and MERS, new viruses such as Corona have a rapid transmission power, driving the world into panic, and the number of confirmed cases and group infections is still increasing. There is still no suitable treatment for coronavirus, and even if a treatment or vaccine is developed, it is likely to plague mankind for a considerable period of time. Therefore, the quarantine rules up to now focus on prevention to avoid infection with the coronavirus, and in addition to personal hygiene such as hand washing, you must protect yourself from infection by wearing a mask.

In addition, the coronavirus, which has been spreading since the beginning of 2020, coincides with the flu that spreads every winter, giving more fear to people. During unavoidable outdoor activities, people are routinely wearing masks along with step-by-step distancing and personal hygiene management. However, despite the daily use of masks, in facilities such as restaurants, cafes, government offices or company cafeterias, it is often seen that a large number of people sit face to face at a table to have a conversation and eat.

No matter how much people pay attention to social distancing and personal hygiene management, contact with a large number of people within a certain distance at a specific time is unavoidable, as in the above-mentioned public restaurants and cafeterias. In the end, the reality is that there is no choice but to increase the risk of group infection from restaurants and cafeterias.

Conclusion that in restaurants and cafeterias, where a large number of people gather at a specific time, it is necessary to wear a mask while eating in order to avoid droplets secreted from nearby unspecified people or other diners from entering the body through one's own respiratory tract. comes to

However, a general mask had a problem in that the mask had to be taken off or taken down whenever drinking or eating food. Therefore, the face-mounting covering of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-020983 (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 1) has an adhesive part that can be repeatedly attached and detached to enable it to be detached when ingesting beverages or food. However, the prior art 1 had a disadvantage that a part of the covering device (=mask) had to be detached from the adhesive part whenever a beverage or food was consumed.

In order to solve this problem of prior art 1, Japanese Patent Registration No. 5421507 (hereinafter referred to as prior art 2) proposes a mask in which the wearer Y lifts the lower part 30a of the mask cotton to the upper side (nasal side) to expose the bent bar have. However, such a curved exposed structure is only one of the methods commonly used when a disposable mask is worn, and when a beverage or food is consumed.

Korean Utility Model Registration No. 446476 (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 3) has been proposed as a prior art related to a mask capable of ingesting beverages or food. Prior art 3 is a mask body made of a stretchable material having an opening in the center so that the wearer's nose and mouth are integrally inserted; And it covers the nose and mouth inserted into the opening portion, and consists of a front cover with an upper part sewn to open to the lower side. Prior art 3 has the advantage that it is possible to have a conversation or eat or eat food smoothly while wearing a mask by adopting a front cover in which the upper part is sewn to the mask body. However, in Prior Art 3, there is a limitation in that the mask body is made of a stretchable material to enable partial sewing with the front cover.

Korean Utility Model Publication No. 2011-0003053 (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 4) is similar to Prior Art 3 in that it adopts a front covering that covers the mouth and nose. That is, the mask of the prior art 4 forms a U-shaped vent 4 with an open top so that the mouth and nose are exposed on the mask member 2 , and the mouth and nose are formed in front of the opened U-shaped vent 4 . It is characterized in that a coupling means 7 such as a Velcro or a tick button corresponding to the male and female front cover 6 is provided. However, in the prior art 4, there is still the inconvenience of having to separate the coupling means 7 every time a beverage or food is consumed.

Since the present invention can have various changes and can have various embodiments, specific embodiments are illustrated in the drawings and described in detail. However, this is not intended to limit the present invention to specific embodiments, and it should be understood to include all modifications, equivalents and substitutes included in the spirit and scope of the present invention.

The terms used in the present application are only used to describe specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The singular expression includes the plural expression unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. In the present application, terms such as “comprise” or “have” indicate the presence of a feature, number, step, operation, component, part, or combination thereof described in the specification, but one or more other features or It should be understood that the existence or addition of numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof does not preclude the possibility of addition.

Hereinafter, detailed contents for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 5 to 9 show a first embodiment of a mask according to the present invention.

5 and 6 are plan views of the cover part 50 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. 5 is a plan view in which the cover part 50 is unfolded, and FIG. 6 is a plan view in which the coupling part 60 and the cover 80 are folded with respect to the folding part 90 .

The cover part 50 largely includes the coupling part 60 and the cover 80 , and the folding part 90 formed at the boundary between the coupling part 60 and the cover 80 .

The coupling part 60 of the cover part 50 is configured to couple with a wearing means for fixing the cover part 50 to the face so that the user wears a mask, and an earring string fixing hole (not shown) to which the earring string is coupled. This may be formed, or a coupling hole (not shown) capable of fixing an elastic band directly connecting one end of the coupling unit 60 and the other end of the coupling unit 60 may be formed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, a fixing hole 65 for coupling to the frame 20 having an earring part may be formed, and the cover part 50 of the present invention can be worn as a face mask. A configuration may be added.

The cover 80 of the cover part 50 is formed by being integrally cut with the coupling part 60, and at the boundary between the competition part and the cover, a folding part 90 in which the coupling part and the cover can be folded to each other is formed. and the cover and the coupling part may rotate with respect to the folding part 90 .

As shown in FIG. 5 , the cover part of the opening and closing mask according to the present invention may be used as an opening and closing mask by combining the wearing means with the coupling part in a state in which the cover part 50 and the coupling part 60 are unfolded, FIG. 6 As shown in 9 to 9, a wearing means is coupled to the coupling part in a state in which the coupling part 60 and the cover 80 are folded based on the folding part 90, so that it may be used as an opening/closing type mask.

When the wearing means is coupled to the coupling part in a state in which the coupling part 60 and the cover 80 are folded to each other and used as an open/close mask, when the cover part 50 and the coupling part 60 are used in an unfolded state In contrast, maintaining the fully rotated state of the cover 80 in the state of using the opening/closing type mask has a simpler operation and effect. That is, when the coupling part 60 and the cover 80 are used in a folded state, the state in which the cover is rotated with respect to the coupling part and tilted upward, that is, the state in which the wearer's mouth and nose are completely opened, is the original state. Since the cover 80 and the coupling portion 60 in the cut state are in an unfolded state, it is easier to maintain such an open state.

The cover 80 covers the front of the user's mouth and nose in the use state, and when the user needs it, the front of the mouth and nose can be opened by rotating upward around the foldable part 90 .

As shown in FIG. 6 , the cover 80 has a relatively narrow horizontal width than the coupling part 60 when the cover part 50 is unfolded, but has a relatively wide upper and lower narrow shape. can

Through the folding part 90 formed between the coupling part 60 and the cover 80 , the user may raise the cover 80 upward or lower it again. At this time, at least one through hole 100 is formed in the folding part 90 of the cover part 50 .

That is, in the mask use state, the coupling part 60 and the cover 80 are folded in an arc shape along the face based on the folding part 90 , but the coupling part 60 and the cover 80 are not formed without a through hole. ), it is difficult for the coupling portion 60 and the cover 80 to rotate with each other when they are all in contact. Therefore, in the present invention, by forming the through hole 100 in the folding part 90, when the cover 80 rotates with respect to the coupling part 60 with respect to the folding part 90 as a reference, the cover 80 and the coupling part By excluding interference between (60), the cover can be rotated smoothly with respect to the coupling portion when the user raises the cover upwards or lowers it again.

The cover part 50 is preferably made of a transparent resin (plastic) material so that it can be worn on the face while maintaining a certain shape. In addition, when the cover part 50 is formed of a transparent resin material, the shape of the mouth is visible even when the mask is worn, so that communication becomes clearer. Of course, it is not necessary to form the cover part 50 of a transparent resin material, and as long as it can be worn on the face while maintaining a certain shape, it is possible without a transparent resin material.

7 to 9 , in the first embodiment of the present invention, the coupling part 60 of the cover part 50 is coupled to the body part 30 of the frame 20 . 7 to 9, the coupling part 60 and the cover 50 have been described as being coupled to the frame in a folded state, but the coupling part 60 and the cover 50 are coupled to the frame even in an unfolded state. It can also be used as an open/close mask.

Since the coupling part 60 is configured to be coupled to the body part 30 of the frame 20, it is formed wider than the cover 80 to be described later when the cover part 50 is unfolded, and the overall shape is longer than the length. The width has a relatively wide shape.

The cover part 50 is coupled to the frame 20 to implement an open/close mask. The frame 20 is preferably formed of a resin (plastic) material, but is not limited thereto, and any material may be used as long as it is coupled to the cover and allows the mask to be worn on the face.

The frame 20 includes an earring part 25 and a body part 30 .

The earring unit 25 has a curved shape surrounding the pinna so that it can be hung on the user's ear.

Based on the user's face, the body part 30 positioned on the front side of the face and the side of the face is formed to extend from the earring part 25 . After the body portion 30 is formed to extend forward from one end of the earring portion 25, it has a shape that horizontally crosses the face again.

As shown in FIG. 8 , a fixing protrusion 35 formed to have a predetermined interval on the body portion 30 of the frame 20 is inserted into the fixing hole 65 formed in the coupling portion 60 of the cover portion 60 . Thus, the cover part and the frame are coupled.

The coupling between the fixing hole 65 and the fixing protrusion 35 is by a fitting method. The fixing holes 65 and the fixing protrusions 35 provided at positions opposite to each other are fixed by a fitting method (refer to FIGS. 7 and 8). The fixing protrusion 35 is inserted into a plurality of fixing holes 65 formed in the coupling part 60 of the cover part 50 , and the cover part 50 by the coupling between the fixing projections 35 and the fixing hole 65 . ) may be fixed to the frame 20 .

When the user hangs the frame 20 on the ear, the frame 20 is positioned on the front side of the face and on the side of the face. Specifically, it may vary depending on the user's facial contour, but in general, the frame 20 is spaced apart from the user's cheeks and the like, and the center of the body 30 of the frame is placed on the bridge of the nose.

In addition, the cover part 50 is coupled to the frame 20 by the fixing protrusions 35 formed on the body part 30 of the frame 20 , and the through hole 100 is in the body part 30 of the frame 20 . By forming at a position corresponding to the formed fixing protrusion 35, the cover 80 of the cover part 50 is not interfered with the fixing protrusion 35 protruding from the body 30 of the frame 20, and the coupling part 60 ) can be rotated with respect to the foldable portion 90 .

Hereinafter, prevention of interference between the through hole 100 and the fixing protrusion 35 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8 in which one through hole 100 is formed. If the through hole 100 is not formed at a position corresponding to the fixing protrusion 35 , the cover 80 does not come in close contact with the body 30 and floats slightly. Accordingly, by forming one through hole 100 at a position corresponding to the fixing protrusion 35 and adopting a method in which the fixing projection 35 is accommodated in the through hole 100, ① the cover 80 is folded into the fold 90 ) can be in close contact with the body portion 30 of the frame 20 when folded down based on the It can rotate smoothly without

The above-mentioned through hole 100 preferably has the shape of a long hole in which the width is much longer than that of the length.

The description of Embodiment 1 above is based on the case where the front surface of the user's mouth and nose is mainly covered with reference to FIGS. 5 to 9 .

Embodiment 2 with reference to FIGS. 10 to 14 below is a case of protecting not only the user's mouth and nose, but also the side including the chin.

As shown in FIG. 10 , a plurality of through holes 100 , 110 , and 120 are formed in the foldable portion 90 .

In the second embodiment, the width of the cover 80 is formed wider than that of the first embodiment. Therefore, not only the front side of the mask user (the wearer), but also the side surfaces can be protected by the cover 80, so that it is possible to more safely block the propagation of droplets from others.

In the second embodiment, a plurality of through-holes 100 , 110 , 120 are formed in the folding part 90 .

Specifically, a plurality of through-holes 100 , 110 , 120 are formed at positions corresponding to the fixing protrusions 35 so that the cover 80 is in close contact with the body 30 , and the fixing projections 35 are located in the through-holes 100 . adopt an acceptable method. Through this, ① when the cover 80 is folded down with respect to the folding part 90 , it can be in close contact with the body part 30 of the frame 20 , and ② the cover 80 can be folded based on the folding part 90 . When rotating upwards, it can rotate smoothly without interference with the fixing protrusion (35).

As shown in FIG. 10, the first through hole 100 is provided in the middle of the cover 80, and the second through hole 110 and the third through hole 120 are spaced apart by a predetermined distance on the left and right sides of the first through hole 100. Each of these is preferably provided.

For reference, the number and size of the through-holes formed in the foldable portion 90 may vary depending on the number and position of the fixing protrusions 35 formed in the body portion 30 of the frame 20 .

As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 , the first through hole 100 is formed in the center of the width direction of the cover 80 and the coupling part 60 . The second through-hole 110 and the third through-hole 120 are respectively formed on the left and right sides of the first through-hole 100 . The cover 80 and the coupling part 60 located outside the second through hole 110 and the third through hole 120 have a form separated from each other. The cover 80 and the coupling part 60 located on the outside of the second through hole 110 and the third through hole 120 are separated from each other so that there is no interference with the coupling part 60 when the cover 80 is rotated. Smooth rotation is achieved.

The cover portion 50 of the first and second embodiments is preferably made of a transparent resin material, but as long as it can be coupled to the frame while maintaining a constant shape, it is possible without a transparent resin material.

Due to the elasticity of the transparent resin material, the cover 80 can rotate naturally with respect to the coupling part, and when the cover part 50 and the frame 20 are coupled, it can be naturally bent along the user's facial contour.

In the mask 10 of the present invention, a side fixing hole 70 may be further formed in the cover 80 , and in FIG. 10 , the inner side from the outermost fixing hole among the plurality of fixing holes 65 formed in the coupling part 60 . A side fixing hole 70 is formed in the cover 80 just below the fixing hole located first. That is, as shown in FIG. 11 , when the coupling part 60 and the cover 80 are folded in the folding part 90 , the side fixing hole 70 formed at the position is the most formed in the coupling part 60 . It communicates with the fixing hole located first inward from the outer fixing hole.

Since the side fixing hole 70 formed at the above position communicates with the first fixing hole located inward from the outermost fixing hole, the fixing hole 65 and the side fixing hole 70 are sequentially formed in one fixing protrusion 35 . can be inserted.

The effect of the side fixing hole 70 formed in the cover 80 is as follows. The fixing hole 65 formed in the coupling part 60 of the above-described cover part 50 is coupled to the fixing protrusion 35 formed in the body part 30 of the frame 20 to attach the cover part 50 to the frame. It is a fixed configuration.

However, unlike the fixing hole 65 formed in the coupling part 60, the side fixing hole 70 formed in the cover 80 fixes the cover 80 of the cover part 50 to the body part 30 of the frame. , since the rotation of the cover 80 itself is disabled, the cover can be fixed when the rotation of the cover 80 is unnecessary for a long time, and the cover 80 is prevented from rotating upwards unintentionally.

The user can again maintain the cover 80 in a rotatable state by separating the fixing protrusion 35 from the side fixing hole 70 according to his/her intention, and the fixing projection 35 from the side fixing hole 70 is Although separated, since the fixing protrusion 35 is still inserted into the fixing hole 65 formed in the coupling part 60 , the fixing of the frame 20 and the cover part 50 is maintained.

12 to 14 are the coupling/disassembled perspective views and use state diagrams of the cover part and the frame 20 of the open/close mask of the second embodiment, referring to the description of the first embodiment.

Embodiment 2 with reference to FIGS. 10 to 14 above exemplifies a case in which the front and side surfaces of the user's mouth and nose are covered.

The mask 10 of the present invention may further include a buffer member 150 coupled to the rear surface of the body portion 30, and both Embodiments 1 and 2 may be applied.

The buffer member 150 is preferably a sponge or the like, and the overall shape is as shown in FIG. 7 .

The front surface 155 of the buffer member is in contact with the rear surface 33 (refer to FIG. 12) of the body portion of the frame 20 having an approximately arc shape, and is to be fixed to the body portion 30 by a method such as double-sided tape or thermal bonding. can That is, the front surface 155 of the buffer member is made to have a surface that follows the curvature of the rear surface 33 of the body portion having an approximately arc shape.

The rear surface 160 of the cushioning member is a portion in contact with the user's face, specifically the bridge of the nose, and the convex portions 170 protruding toward the user's face with respect to the center of the rear surface 160 are formed on both sides.

In the mask 10 of the present invention, the earring part 25 of the frame is caught on the user's ear, and the cushioning member 150 is placed on the user's nose, making it possible to wear it in a stable manner. It can solve problems such as horizontal frame marks left on the bridge of the nose.
