Abstract

An everyday mask (mouth and nose protection), which is provided with an integrated pocket, in order to be able to stow the everyday mask "in itself". Characterized by the fact that the bag is sewn onto the everyday mask or integrated into the everyday mask and the mask can thus be stowed away by simply “turning it inside out” or “turning it over”. The mask can then be attached using a hook, carabiner or an eyelet / loop.

Description

Everyday masks consist, according to the current state of the art, of fixing devices with which the everyday mask can be fixed to the head in a wide variety of ways. As well as the part of the mask that covers the mouth and nose to contain the spread of disease-borne aerosols.

1. (1) Die Alltagsmaske sollte nach dem Tragen verstaut werden können, ohne mit der Innenseite der Maske in Berührung zu kommen, um so eine Kontaminationsverschleppung zu verhindern. Insbesondere ist hier die Innenseite der Maske im Mund- und Nasen- Bereich hervorzuheben.
2. (2) Die Alltagsmaske sollte verstaut (bzw. bei sich getragen) werden können, ohne dabei Gefahr zu laufen, selbst verschmutzt zu werden. Auch hierbei ist die Maskeninnenseite besonders hervorzuheben. Da es hier beim tragen zu direkten Kontakt mit großen Teilen des Gesichts, sowie den oberen Atemwegen kommt.
3. (3) Die Alltagsmaske wird aktuell häufig in Hosentaschen, Jackentaschen oder Handtaschen gesteckt. Im PKW werden die Masken oft unachtsam in irgendwelchen Staufächern untergebracht. Nicht selten werden die Masken bei dieser Art der Unterbringung, in Verbindung mit dem heutigen Stand der Technik, ungeschützt der mechanischen Beanspruchung von Fremdkörpern ausgesetzt (z.B. Schlüsselbund). Was eine Beschädigung der Alltagsmaske und somit eine Einschränkung in ihrer Funktion zur Folge haben kann.
4. (4) Ein sehr häufig auftretendes Problem ist, dass die Alltagsmaske (z.B. im PKW) vergessen wird. Nahezu jeder kennt die Situation, wenn einem kurz vor dem Ladeneingang auffällt, dass man seine Maske vergessen hat und nochmal zurück zum Auto laufen muss. Nicht nur, dass es deutlich komfortabler wäre sich diese Wege sparen zu können und seine Maske immer dabei zu haben. Viel wichtiger ist es doch, dass hier vermutlich ein häufiger Grund dafür liegt, warum Leute ganz ohne Maske rumlaufen und sich somit sogar der Maskenpflicht widersetzen. So entsteht aus einem einfachen „vergessen“ oder nicht finden‟ der Maske eine Gefahr für die Mitmenschen und ganz besonders eine Gefahr für alte und vorerkrankte Leute.

Thus, the everyday mask according to the prior art is also appropriate. However, there are always problems when it comes to accommodating the mask in everyday life or carrying it with you. The following points should be emphasized in particular:

1. (1) It should be possible to stow the everyday mask after wearing it without coming into contact with the inside of the mask in order to prevent the spread of contamination. In particular, the inside of the mask in the mouth and nose area should be emphasized here.
2. (2) It should be possible to stow the everyday mask (or carry it with you) without running the risk of becoming soiled. Here, too, the inside of the mask is particularly noteworthy. Since there is direct contact with large parts of the face and the upper respiratory tract when worn.
3. (3) The everyday mask is currently often tucked into trouser pockets, jacket pockets or handbags. In the car, the masks are often carelessly stored in some storage compartments. It is not uncommon for the masks to be exposed to the mechanical stress of foreign bodies without protection (e.g. a keychain) with this type of accommodation, in conjunction with the current state of the art. Which can damage the everyday mask and thus limit its function.
4. (4) A very common problem is that the everyday mask (e.g. in the car) is forgotten. Almost everyone knows the situation when, shortly before entering the shop, you notice that you have forgotten your mask and have to walk back to the car. Not only that it would be much more comfortable to be able to save yourself this trip and always have your mask with you. It is much more important that this is probably a common reason why people walk around without a mask and thus even resist the mask requirement. So simply “forgetting” or not finding the mask creates a danger for other people and especially a danger for old and sick people.

Due to the problems listed above, we have expanded the everyday mask to include an integrated mask pouch with attachment options. With an everyday mask that is manufactured according to protection claims 1 to 9, the problems listed above can be largely solved or minimized.

• Zu (1):
  • Die Maske wird nach dem Tragen abgesetzt und in der Mitte zusammengefaltet. Wodurch das Kontaktrisiko mit der Innenseite im Mund- und Nasenbereich nahezu ausgeschlossen wird (Schutzanspruch 3).
• Zu (2) und (3):
  • Anschließen kann die Maske durch ein Einfaches „auf links krempeln“ im integrierten Maskenbeutel verstaut werden (Schutzanspruch 1). Somit ist das Maskeninnere, als auch der restliche Teil der Maske, vor Verschmutzungen sowie vor Beschädigungen durch mechanische Beanspruchung, geschützt Zusätzlich kann der Maskenbeutel wie in Schutzanspruch 5 beschrieben verschlossen werden.
• Zu (4):
  • Aufgrund der gewählten Maße des Maskenbeutels (Schutzanspruch 2), und der daraus resultierenden Kompaktheit der fertig verstauten Maske, wird es den Menschen einfacher gemacht die Maske immer griffbereit bei sich zu tragen und so sich und andere zu schützen.
  • Durch die Möglichkeit den Maskenbeutel, mithilfe der angebrachten Befestigungsmöglichkeit (Schutzanspruch 4), an den verschiedensten Stellen zu fixieren (Gürtellasche, Handtasche, Schlüsselbund etc.) wird zudem das Risiko minimiert seine Alltagsmaske zu vergessen.

By equipping the original everyday mask with an integrated bag and an attachment option, the wearer is able to do the following:

• To 1):
  • The mask is taken off after wearing and folded in the middle. This almost eliminates the risk of contact with the inside in the mouth and nose area (protection claim 3).
• To (2) and (3):
  • The mask can then be stowed in the integrated mask pouch by simply “turning it inside out” (protection claim 1). The interior of the mask, as well as the remaining part of the mask, is thus protected from soiling and damage from mechanical stress. In addition, the mask bag can be closed as described in protection claim 5.
• To (4):
  • Due to the selected dimensions of the mask bag (protection claim 2), and the resulting compactness of the stowed mask, it is made easier for people to carry the mask with them at all times and thus to protect themselves and others.
  • The possibility of fixing the mask bag in various places (belt strap, handbag, keychain, etc.) using the attached fastening option (protection claim 4) also minimizes the risk of forgetting your everyday mask.
