  In a stretchable sanitary mask with a horizontally long rectangular shape, it is difficult to breathe when wearing the mask, and the upper end of the mask body covers up to the vicinity of the lower part of the eyes, so it feels pressure to the mask wearer Or it may cause discomfort.

  Also, moving the mouth, such as speaking, raises the sanitary mask body, and the upper end of the mask gets closer to the eyes.

  Furthermore, the upper end of the sanitary mask and the lower part of the eyes approach each other, which causes inconvenience that the spectacle user is fogged when wearing the mask due to exhaled air leaking from the upper end of the mask.

  The stretchable accordion part composed of a nonwoven fabric part, etc., is greatly extended in the vertical direction. Enter inside and breathe more difficult.

  In a sanitary mask that covers the nose and mouth and does not cover the eyes according to the present invention, it can expand and contract in the vertical direction like an accordion, the left and right sides of the upper part of the horizontally long rectangular shape are cut, and has a notch. This is a sanitary mask characterized by a square shape.

  In the present invention, it has a pair of left and right ear hooks extending annularly from both side edges of the mask body, the mounting position of the approximate ear hook is at the left and right ends of the mask body, the lower part is the lower end part of the mask body, and the upper part is the notch The sanitary mask according to claim 1, wherein the sanitary mask is attached to a position in the vicinity of the side end of the sanitary mask.

  According to the sanitary mask of the present invention, the mask wearer reduces the feeling of pressure and discomfort by making a substantially triangular notch on the left and right of the upper part of the mask body and cutting the eye portion as shown in the drawing. Can be worn comfortably. In addition, since the upper end of the mask moves away from the eyes, there is also an anti-fogging effect due to the exhalation of the wearer such as glasses. Further, the necessity of greatly extending the main body accordion portion is reduced, and the mask main body can be prevented from being deformed or deformed.

  Further, by using the ear hook of the present invention, the ear is not loaded and can be worn without pain.

  Furthermore, compared with the conventional basic sanitary mask, there is no significant difference in manufacturing method, and the sanitary mask of the present invention can be easily manufactured.

  The top view seen from the front of the sanitary mask which concerns on this invention   A plan view seen from the front of a sanitary mask, a comparison of commonly used mask shapes, and a notched (cut) portion according to the present invention indicated by a dotted line   The figure which described the sanitary mask of this invention from the upper direction   A1-A2 cross section shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.

  The following embodiments of the present invention relate to the sanitary mask shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 and include not only an indispensable structure of the invention but also a selective and preferable structure.

  The sanitary mask of the present invention has a mask main body 1, a nose fit member 2, and a pair of left and right wearing strings (ear hooks) 3.

  The mask body 1 covers the nose, mouth, and chin. The mask body 1 is provided with a plurality of pleats and gathers that can be expanded in the vertical direction. And the outer periphery including the upper and lower ends of the mask body 1 is integrated by thermal bonding or the like. In addition, in order to support the metal (2) which memorizes the shape (soft wire or the like) or its substitute, the lower part thereof is provided with 10 thermal bonding or the like.

  The outer and mouth side nonwoven fabrics 11 and 13 have a filter function for capturing dust, dust, pollen, microorganisms and the like and a function for giving the mask body 1 thickness and strength. From these viewpoints, the outer and mouth side nonwoven fabrics 11 and 13 are preferably air-through nonwoven fabrics and spunbonded nonwoven fabrics having sufficient thickness and good air permeability, but without particularly giving such strength. May be.

  The intermediate nonwoven fabric 12 has a filter function for trapping dust, dust, pollen, microorganisms, etc. From this viewpoint, the intermediate nonwoven fabric 12 is preferably a nonwoven fabric with fine fibers and a dense yarn density, and fine mesh. .

  The nose fitting member 2 fits the upper part of the mask main body 1 to the shape of the wearer's nose, which makes it difficult for the mask main body 1 to slip when the sanitary mask is worn, and also closes the gap on the side of the nose. The The nose fit member 2 is disposed on the upper end portion in the mask body 1 in the left-right direction. The As the nose fitting member, for example, a soft wire, a metal plate, a plastic resin, or the like is used.

  Further, the mask body 1 may be kept in a three-dimensional shape by having a memory shape mechanism such as a soft wire, a metal plate, or a plastic resin so that the mouth is fitted or the jaw is fitted.

  In this example, the wearing cord 3 is exemplified as an ear hook to be put on the ear, and is provided on the left and right end portions 6 and 7 of the mask body 1 by thermal bonding or the like. The wearing cord 3 is preferably an elastic body such as a rubber cord because it is more comfortable to wear, and a flat cord made of spandex (polyurethane) and having a substantially rectangular cross section is used. Also good. Thus, when a flat string is used, the wearing string 3 softly touches the wearer's skin when the sanitary mask is worn, and the wearing comfort is good, and the contact area between the wearing string 3 and the nonwoven fabric parts 6 and 7 at the time of bonding. And can be bonded well.

  The intermediate nonwoven fabric in the above configuration example may be one sheet or a plurality of sheets, and a nonwoven fabric other than the above, other filters, cloth (cloth), or the like may be added to the intermediate ply.

  Moreover, the bellows-like weaving method such as the nonwoven fabric may not be in the form of FIG.

  The present invention can be applied to a sanitary mask.
