MODULAR FACE PROTECTIVE MASK

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is to offer facial protection against any element, whether solid, liquid or in suspension, and that can splash on our face.

The invention presented is focused on the sector of elements of individual protection, whether professional or personal. There are different products on the market that can fulfill this function, but in most cases they are highly complex, being made from heavy components with too specific characteristics and a high number of components. The invention presented has in simplicity and lightness one of its main characteristics, thus having a massive scope and a very contained cost.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In recent times, the society in which we live presents a growing concern to isolate and protect the face, and the organs we have in it, from any splashes or elements that may come into contact with our faces, thus safeguarding our skin and our health. .

The environment with which we live has an increasing number of elements that can be harmful to our health and our skin due to increased environmental pollution and increased pathogens in the air. The increasing number of people affected by allergy syndromes, in most cases induced by airborne particles, or the increasing number of people with symptoms of chemical sensitivity are examples of conditions that could be reduced or even eliminated if adequate face protection is achieved.

Although the invention presented is not intended to protect mode before any substance or any pathogen that could splash on the face, or be suspended in the air and be introduced into the body through the nostrils, mouth or eyes.

As antecedents to the invention that is presented, we can find the title U201730461: "Facial mask for sleeping" and also the title ES-2729663_T3: "Facial protection accessory for helmets and helmet equipped with said facial protection accessory".

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention proposed in the present description consists of:

- a folding cardboard support (1) with the capacity to be printed, in any image or color, on both sides. The support has a rectangular shape and is provided at its ends with two velcros (5.1 and 5.2) glued to the support so that, when it embraces the circumference of the head, the velcros face each other at the back of it, allowing their Consistent bonding and thus attachment of the modular face shield to the head.

- a folding cardboard screen (2) with the capacity to be printed, in any image or color, on both sides and die-cut so that it has a hole in its center. A transparent plastic sheet is adhered to this hole, which is called a window (3) and punched so that its dimensions correspond to the die cut of the screen hole, but in slightly larger dimensions. Thus, the gluing between screen (2) and window (3) is facilitated by the back of the screen (2), leaving this with a hole through which you can see and, at the same time, maintain face protection which is intended.

- two metal eyelets (4), one on each side of the screen (2). These eyelets (4) fulfill the function of allowing rotation between the support (1), fixed to the head, and the screen (2) so that it can be lowered in front of the face or raised, remaining on the head and leaving the face exposed. The dimensions of these metal eyelets (4) are not casual at all, and are due to a product design engineering process. Thus, there is a ratio to be met between the size of the round hole that the same size as the metal eyelet (4) that passes through them. Thus, as an example, it is indicated that the size of the round hole in the screen (2) is 5mm, the metal eyelet (4) and the round hole of the support (1) have exactly 2mm less, remaining 3mm. This 2mm difference allows a small play between the screen and the eyelet, with the necessary friction between the support (1) and the screen (2), but no more. The size of the hole of the screen (2) and that of the metal eyelet (4), which coincides with the size of the hole of the support (1), can be larger or smaller but the difference of 2mm is preserved. The metal eyelets (4) have another characteristic and that is that the outer flange, the one that covers the hole of the screen (2), is greater than the diameter of the eyelet (4) in a specific quantity. In order to consistently fix the assembly and after a product design engineering process, it was concluded that the outer flange of the eyelet must be 7mm greater than the gap it will cover, and as this is 2mm greater than the metal eyelet (4) it is arrived at the fact that the outer flange must be 9mm greater than the diameter of the metal eyelet (4). The distance between the eyelets (4), once located on the mask, is also not accidental, determining the product design engineering process that this distance must be 31 cm. Testing on different head diameters, it has been reached that this distance is adequate so that when lifting the screen (2) it stays up, since the tests carried out showed that although a smaller distance between the holes decreases the necessary force To raise the screen (2), when this action was performed the screen (2) was not held over the head.

- a foam (6) in the form of a quadrangular prism that glued on the support (1), on the inside, is between it and the user's forehead of the modular face mask. This foam (6) will be of such a dimension that it does not cover the entire forehead, leaving two spaces on both sides that will serve as air evacuation channels and will prevent fogging of the plastic window (3) when the screen (2) is descent.

The modular face mask, whose components we have described, can also be equipped with a fashion or design component. As the support (1) and the screen (2) are made of folding cardboard, it can be printed on both sides in the color or design chosen. This possibility extends the range of individual to a fashion accessory, as it can be endowed with a print in any color tone or with any image.

The folding cardboard of which the support (1) and the screen (2) are composed, gives the modular facial protective mask some specific characteristics. This virgin material, made from natural fibers, presents the right balance between high mechanical resistance and high lightness.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

As a complement to the descriptions presented, five drawings are attached where, by way of illustration, and not limitation, the characteristics of the invention to be registered are visualized, for a better understanding thereof. Thus, the following has been represented:

Figure 1: It shows an anterior frontal image of the modular facial protective mask where you can see the support (1) of the mask, with one of the velcros (5.1) on its end. Attached to the support (1), in front of it, through the metal eyelets (4) is the screen (2) and glued to it you can see the transparent window (3).

Figure 2: Shows an image of a top view of the modular face mask where you can see the spacer foam (6) in the shape of a square polyhedron. Also shown are the two metal eyelets (4) and the velcro straps (5.1 and 5.2) located on both ends of the support (1).

Figure 3: Shows an image of a rear front view of the modular face mask where you can see the support (1), the screen (2) located behind the support (1) and attached to it by the eyelets (4) , the transparent window (3) larger than the size of the hole that has the screen (2), the spacer foam (6) and the velcro (5.2) located at the end of the support (1).

Figure 4: Shows an image of an anterior front view of the modular face mask in which it can be seen how the ends of the support (1), which protrude from the screen (2), are folded behind it. Thus, in this front view the support (1) is not appreciated, which would be completely hidden behind the screen (2), although the transparent window (3) and the eyelets (4) can be seen.

Modular placed on the head of a person in its lowered position. In the image you can see the support (1) that embraces the circumference of the head, the screen (2) located in front of the face to protect it and the transparent window (3) through which we can see through the screen (2 ) when it is lowered and in front of the face.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

To carry out the invention presented in this description, the following process is followed. It all starts with the printing of the folding cardboard chosen to form the support (1) and screen (2). The cardboard is supplied in sheets of determined and variable dimensions according to the dimensions that you want to provide to both elements, and which are not relevant in the invention presented.

Once the folding cardboard has been printed, it is protected by a matte OPP (thermo laminated polypropylene) so that the print is laminated. Then, the printed and protected folding cardboard die-cut is passed, thus obtaining the supports (1) and screens (2) with the defined dimensions.

Next, we go to the gluing phase where we will add to the support (1) the velcros (5.1 and 5.2) located on both ends of it on opposite sides and to the screen (2) the window (3) will be glued on its internal side. of plastic, covering the gap left for this purpose in the die-cutting phase.

The next phase is the fixing of the screen (2) and the support (1) by riveting the metal eyelets (4), according to the specifications defined in the explanation of the invention, of their position and size. In this operation, the support (1) is on the internal part of the set, which would be in contact with the forehead, and the screen (2) would be on the outside.

Finally, we would glue to the support the spacer foam (6) that would now remain as the element of the set in contact with the forehead and fold the two sides of the support that protrude from the screen behind it, according to Figure 4. We would already have the finished product and in its final format ready for packaging and distribution.
