Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention generally relates to a mask structure,
more particularly to a mask structure having barrier component.
[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0004] Nowadays, the face mask is broadly applied in various
applications, such as riding a bike, working in a restaurant, a
hospital, a factory, and a clean room, etc., for the purpose of
barricading polluted air, dust, bacteria or virus to ensure that
people are not infected and products are not contaminated. It is
thus well known the face masks applied to aforesaid applications
are mostly formed from one or multi-layers of flat type gauze,
cotton, non-woven fabric or paper in order to satisfy the demands
for low cost and high consumption.
[0005] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a traditional non-woven mask
or a traditional clothes, gauze mask etc. mainly has a mask body 10
and two bands 20, the mask body 10 having two sides 30, and each
band 20 fixes at two sides 30 in order to form a pair of hanging
structure wherein bands extending from the side of the face mask
around the back of the wearer's ears or over the head.
[0006] However, the filtering efficiency of a mask depends on
whether or not the air being breathed in and out by the user is
forced to go through the mask body 10 during wear. It is difficult
to conforming the various contours of the human face when wearing
the mask made of clothes, gauze or non-woven etc. More
particularly, the gaps caused by the pull force from the bands, and
the crease space created by extending the mask body 10 while in
wear. Therefore, some of the air being breathed in and out by the
user is allowed to bypass the filter of the mask, resulting in the
filtering efficiency of the mask being tremendously decreased and
the users having a higher risk of breathing in dust, bacteria or
viruses.
[0007] Accordingly, the inventor of the present invention has
studied the traditional technologies and related new technologies
in order to figure out and overcome the shortcomings of related
arts.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0008] The main objective of the present invention is to provide a
mask structure with a subsidiary part. The present invention has a
plurality of subsidiary parts at edge sides to prevent air leakage
from the edge sides during wear. The fitness ability of the mask is
thus increased. It helps all air being breathed in and out by the
wearer forced to go through the face mask and the mask's filtering
efficiency is improved thereon.
[0009] To approach above objective, the mask structure with a
subsidiary part of the present invention has: a mask body, having
at least one edge side; at least one subsidiary part, connecting
with and being corresponding to the edge side, and an angle formed
between the subsidiary part and the mask body; and a band set,
fixing at the two sides of the mask body.
[0010] When a user wears a mask, the subsidiary part connecting
with the two edge sides of the mask body cover the gap between the
mask body and the face of the user to prevent air leakage during
wear. The fitness ability of the mask is thus increased, having the
air being breathed in and out by the wearer forced to go through
the mask and filtered by the mask body, making it possible to
achieve the outstanding filtering efficiency of the mask structure
of the present invention.
[0011] In addition, the best range of the angle formed between the
subsidiary part and the mask body is 15 degrees to 90 degrees. The
subsidiary part is configured intersecting or in a perpendicular
orientation to the mask body 1 and the face. Hence, although the
area of the subsidiary part is not very large, the gap between the
mask body and the face can be effectively covered, further
promoting the blocking ability of the mask structure as well.
[0012] Moreover, the subsidiary part is formed by bending the
elongation section, making the mask structure of the present
invention easily manufactured with reprocess, allowing for economic
manufacturing.
[0013] Additionally, the mask body forms a plurality of creases in
order to fit with various shapes of the face to be a popular mask
structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0023] Following preferred embodiments and figures will be
described in detail so as to achieve aforesaid objects.
[0024] Please refer to FIG. 3 to FIG. 6. The present invention
provides a mask structure with a subsidiary part, and the mask
structure mainly has a mask body 1, at least one subsidiary part 2
and a band set 3.
[0025] The mask body 1 has at least one edge side 11, and forms a
plurality of creases (12), each of the edge sides (11) of the mask
body (1) extends to form an elongation section (111), wherein the
number of the edge side (11) is two, the two edge sides (11) are at
the left side and the right side of the mask body (1), but not
limit thereto.
[0026] The number of the subsidiary part 2 is the same as the
number of the edge side 11, the subsidiary part 2 connects with and
is corresponding to the edge side 11, the subsidiary part 2 is
formed by bending the elongation section 111, the elongation
section 111 firmly connect with the mask body 1 with an angle
.theta. between 0 degree and 150 degrees, preferably the angle
.theta. is between 15 degrees and 90 degrees wherein the angle
.theta. is between the subsidiary part 2 and the mask body 1.
[0027] The band set 3 fixes at the two sides of the mask body 1,
the band set 3 has two bands 31, each of the two ends of the bands
31 fixes at the upper end or the lower end of the mask body 1.
[0028] The present invention is an assembly, which is the mask
structure with the subsidiary part, and the mask body 1 has two
edge sides 11; the subsidiary part 2 connects with and is
corresponding to the edge sides 11, and the angle .theta. is formed
between the subsidiary part 2 and the mask body 1; the band set 3
fixes at the two sides of the mask body 1. As shown in FIG. 6, when
a user wears a mask, the subsidiary part 2 connecting with the two
edge sides 11 of the mask body 1 cover the gap between the mask
body 1 and the face of the user to prevent air leakage during wear.
The fitness ability of the mask is thus increased, and the air
being breathed in and out by the user is forced to go through the
mask and be filtered by the mask body 1, so that an outstanding
filtering efficiency of the mask structure of the present invention
can be achieved.
[0029] In addition, the best range of the angle .theta. formed
between the subsidiary part 2 and the mask body 1 is 15 degrees to
90 degrees. The subsidiary parts 2 is configured intersecting or in
a perpendicular orientation to the mask body 1 and the face. Hence,
although the area of the subsidiary part 2 is not very large, the
gap between the mask body 1 and the face can be effectively
covered, further promoting the retaining ability of the mask
structure as well.
[0030] Moreover, the subsidiary part 2 is formed by bending the
elongation section 111, making the mask structure of the present
invention easily manufactured with simple processes, allowing for
low manufacturing cost.
[0031] Additionally, the mask body 1 forms a plurality of creases
12 in order to fit with various shapes of the face to be a popular
mask structure.
[0032] Please refer to FIG. 7, which illustrates a schematic view
of another embodiment of the mask structure of the present
invention. Each of the numbers of the edge side 11 and the
subsidiary part 2 is two, the two edge sides 11 are at the top side
and the bottom side of the mask body 1, and the two subsidiary
parts 2 are at the top side and the bottom side of the mask body 1
as well. Therefore, aforesaid functions and effects can be
achieved.
[0033] Please refer to FIG. 8, which illustrates a schematic view
of another embodiment of the mask structure of the present
invention. Each of the numbers of the edge side 11 and the
subsidiary part 2 is four, the four edge sides 11 are at the top
side, the bottom side, the left side, and the right side of the
mask body 1, and the four subsidiary parts 2 are at the top side,
the bottom side, the left side, and the right side of the mask body
1 as well. Therefore, aforesaid functions and effects can be
achieved.
[0034] Although the invention has been disclosed and illustrated
with reference to particular embodiments, the principles involved
are susceptible for use in numerous other embodiments that will be
apparent to persons skilled in the art. This invention is,
therefore, to be limited only as indicated by the scope of the
appended claims.
