Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a mask, and more
particularly, to a mask with a recessed portion for not pressing
the mask on the user's lips and a chin support is provided to
secure the mask.
[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art
[0004] A conventional mask is generally used to keep foreign
objects such as dust or even germs from entering the user's mouth
and nose, and alternatively, to prevent the user's saliva from
being inhaled by other people. The conventional mask generally
includes a main part and two hooks or bands on two sides of the
main part. The main part is composed of two sheets of fabric and an
intermediate material is located between the two sheets of fabric.
The main part can stop the saliva from being inhaled by the user to
protect the user. The two hooks or bands are used to position the
mask on the user's face by hooking on the user's ears. However, the
main part is directly in contact with the user's lips and nose so
that many users feel uncomfortable. If the user is a female with
make-up, the main part of the mask can blur the make-up. Therefore,
the conventional mask is not welcome to some users and needs to be
improved.
[0005] The present invention intends to provide a mask which has a
recessed area so that the user's lips are not compressed by the
mask. In addition, the mask of the present invention includes a
chin support to further position the mask on the user's face.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The present invention relates to a mask and comprises a main
part for mounting on a user's mouth and nose, and the main part
comprises a transparent portion and an opaque portion. The
transparent portion has a recessed portion defined in a central
portion of an inside thereof so as to accommodate the user's mouth
and nose. A chin support is connected to the opaque portion and has
a support member and an engaging portion which is engaged with an
inside of the opaque portion.
[0007] The primary object of the present invention is to provide a
mask which improves the shortcomings of the conventional mask by
providing a recessed area for accommodating the user's nose and
mouth so that the mask does not affect the user to breath and the
user's lips are not compressed by the mask.
[0008] The present invention will become more obvious from the
following description when taken in connection with the
accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration
only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present
invention.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0009] FIG. 1 is a perspective view to show the mask of the present
invention, and
[0010] FIG. 2 shows a user wears the mask of the present
invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0011] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the mask 100 of the present
invention comprises a main part 110 having a transparent portion
110A and an opaque portion 110, wherein the main part 110 is
mounted to the user's mouth and nose. The transparent portion 110A
has a recessed portion 110C defined in a central portion of an
inside thereof so as to accommodate the mouth and nose of the user
so that the mask 100 does not compress the user's lips and affect
the user to breath. The transparent portion 110A is made of
transparent and resilient material and the opaque portion 110B is
made of opaque and resilient material so as to meet the contour of
the user's face.
[0012] The recessed portion 110C is located at the central portion
of the opaque portion 110B and forms like an open pocket so that
the user's nose and lips are not compressed by the main part 110.
The opaque portion 110B has two hooks 110D on two ends thereof and
two adjustment bands 130 are hooked to the two hooks 110D. The
adjustment bands 130 are hooked to the user's ears so position the
mask 100 to the user's face.
[0013] The chin support 120 is connected to the opaque portion 110
and has a support member 120A and an engaging portion 120B which is
engaged with an inside of the opaque portion 110. The support
member 120A is an L-shaped member and forms a recessed area facing
the user's chin. The engaging portion 120B is made of soft and
resilient material and extends toward the user's chin and is in
contact with the front surface of the chin of the user. If there is
a recess in the front surface of the user's chin, the engaging
portion 120B is support in the recess. The chin support 120 can
prevent the mask 100 from slipping during use.
[0014] The two adjustment bands 130 are first hooked to the user's
ears and the main part 110 is mounted on the user's nose and mouth.
The main part 110 is then adjusted to allow the user's nose and
lips to be accommodated in the recessed portion 110C. The engaging
portion 120B is then contacts the user's chin and the support
member 120A is engaged with the lower end of the user's chin to
position the mask 100.
[0015] While we have shown and described the embodiment in
accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those
skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without
departing from the scope of the present invention.
