Description

Attachable and detachable nose mask

The present invention directly attach the mask to the skin around the nose, increase the sealing rate of the mask to remove the nasal foreign body when wearing the insert nose mask, increase the breathability of the filter for blocking various contaminants, such as fine dust inhaled and exhaled during breathing The present invention relates to an attachable nose mask capable of keeping the amount of air at the same time as before wearing a mask to smoothly breathe with a high dust blocking effect.

Modern people who are exposed to the polluted environment of the city breathe fine dust or yellow dust containing various pollutants in the air with the air, and the number of people suffering from various respiratory diseases such as rhinitis and bronchitis increases year by year. It is also on the rise. Therefore, more and more people wear masks when going out to block fine dust and prevent respiratory diseases.

However, currently available commercial masks cover the nose and mouth at the same time, there is a problem that does not release moisture or heat during breathing, not completely sealed on the face to effectively block the fine dust, and wear glasses in winter In the case of the glasses are fogged, there is also a problem that obstructs the view.

In addition, when riding a bicycle, climbing, marathon, etc. while wearing a general mask as described above, the amount of breathing increases compared to usual times, so the breathing is not performed smoothly. There was a problem to breathe as it is.

Recently, a mask has been developed to solve this problem by cutting off the part between the nose and the mouth of the mask. However, due to the low sealing rate of the mask, the dust blocking effect is limited. There is a limit.

On the other hand, in order to solve the problem of a mask common in sports, Korean Patent No. 726135 is provided with a pair of thin disk-shaped filter portion inserted into both nostrils and a connecting string interconnecting the pair of filter portions. Implantable comasks have been disclosed.

By the way, since the insertable mask of the Korean Patent No. 726135 has to be inserted into the nostril, the user has a problem that the user feels a foreign object that cannot be felt in a general mask. In addition, the thickness of the filter part is easily deformed and thus the sealing rate is lowered, as a result, there is a problem that the blocking effect of fine dust is lowered accordingly.

In addition, since the size of the filter part is made uniformly based on the size of the normal adult's nostrils, it is inconvenient to wear when the nostrils are larger than the general adult or the nostrils are small, such as children. In addition, the amount of air inhalation during aerobic exercise was significantly less than the discharge, and breathing was difficult, and there was a problem that caused a headache due to insufficient supply of air to the brain.

On the other hand, an implantable comask called 'co-keeper' is sold on the market. Such a comask is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape with a filter, and the filter part is manufactured in three stages according to the size of the user's nostril, but when worn, the cylindrical filter is driven from the nostril to the center of the nose. The sealing rate of the holes (fillability of the filter) appears to be low.

As a result, the conventional nose mask is also a nostril insertion type did not solve the nasal foreign body. Furthermore, since the support pin is inserted in the center of the filter part and the cross-sectional area of the filter part is limited to the area except the area of the support pin, the amount of air sucked into the nose is significantly smaller than that when the mask is not worn. It is almost impossible to do.

When the conventional nose mask is inserted into the nostril, the deformation of the filter part is small but the sealing rate of the nostril is significantly low, so that it is difficult to completely block various fine dusts coming into the nostril, and it may cause dryness or trouble of the nasal mucosa when used for a long time. There is also a problem that cannot be excluded.

In addition, the nose mask worn on both ears, such as a general mask is worn on the ear is formed smaller than the mask mask can cover the nose. However, these comasks are not completely in contact with the face, so it is difficult to effectively block fine dust due to the low sealing rate of air. Moreover, it is not different from general masks such as unnatural appearance and discomfort during exercise.

The present invention to solve the above problems, remove the foreign body when wearing a nose mask, while maintaining the same amount of air inhaling and exhaling when breathing to provide an attachable nose mask that can facilitate breathing even during sports. Its purpose is to.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an antimicrobial filter and supercapacitive filter laminated on the filter unit to prevent the inhalation of various bacteria and contaminants in the air, and at the same time to filter out fine dust and pollen, etc. To provide.
