BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
[0005] The present invention relates generally to a fitting for
mask wearing, and more particularly to an innovative type of a
regulator for regulating mask wearing tightness.
2. Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under
37 CFR 1.97 and 37 CFR 1.98
[0006] A mask comprises a cover and two elastic hanging strings,
the hanging strings are disposed on both sides of the cover, and
both ends of each hanging string are in contact with the cover
respectively. When the mask is worn, the cover covers the user's
mouth and nose, the midsections of the hanging strings pass by the
user's ears, so that the hanging strings are hung on the user's
ears respectively.
[0007] However, this structure type still has the following
problems according to practical experience. Different users
sometimes have different head forms, the hanging strings are
elastic, but they may be too loose for some users, so that the
periphery of the cover fails to cling to the user's face tightly.
For some other users, the strings may be too tight, paining ears
even failing wearing, moreover, the sizes of the hanging strings
are sometimes inconsistent during the production of masks.
[0008] Therefore, for said problems in wearing resulted from the
known mask structure, how to develop an innovative structure with
more ideal practicability is what the users desire, as well as the
objective and direction of research and development the related
suppliers shall break through. In view of this, based on years'
experience in manufacturing, developing and designing related
products, this inventor made detailed design and careful evaluation
for said objective, the present invention with practicability was
obtained eventually.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0009] The primary object of the present invention is to provide a
regulator for regulating mask wearing tightness. The technical
problem to be solved is to break through how to develop a novel
structure type of a regulator for regulating mask wearing tightness
with more ideal practicability.
[0010] Based on said object, the present invention provides a
regulator for regulating mask wearing tightness, which comprises a
main patch. The main patch is a long patch extended to both sides
respectively. The main patch goes through two through grooves and
two embedding grooves, the through grooves are close to both sides
of the main patch respectively, and the embedding grooves are
connected to the through grooves respectively, the width of the
embedding groove is smaller than the width of the through
groove.
[0011] The embedding grooves are located between both sides of the
through grooves and the main patch respectively.
[0012] Two hook-shaped pieces are disposed on both ends in length
direction of the main patch. The hook-shaped piece comprises a
connecting part and a hook part. The front end of the connecting
part is in contact with the main patch. The hook part is in contact
with the back end of the connecting part, and the hook part extends
towards the rear side of the main patch, the connecting part
laterally penetrates a through hole.
[0013] Based on the innovative structure type and technical
characteristic, in comparison to prior art, the present invention
can regulate the tightness of mask hanging strings, achieving
practical progressiveness.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0023] FIG. 1 to FIG. 8 disclose the preferred embodiments of the
regulator for regulating mask wearing tightness of the present
invention, but the embodiments are for illustration only, the
patent application is not limited to this structure.
[0024] Said regulator for regulating mask wearing tightness has a
main patch 10, wherein the main patch 10 is a long patch extended
to both sides respectively. The main patch 10 goes through two
through grooves 12 and two embedding grooves 14, the through
grooves 12 are close to both sides of the main patch 10
respectively, and the embedding grooves 14 are connected to the
through grooves 12 respectively. The width in vertical direction of
the embedding groove 14 pointed to the main patch 10 is smaller
than the width in vertical direction of the through groove 12
pointed to the main patch 10, and the embedding grooves 14 located
between both sides of the through grooves 12 and the main patch 10
respectively are better implementation.
[0025] Based on said structural composition type and technical
characteristic, the use of the present invention is described
below. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, when a user 90 wears a mask 92,
the hanging string 94 of the mask 92 goes through the through
groove 12 from front to back, and the hanging string 94 is moved
transversely, so that the hanging string 94 is embedded in the
embedding groove 14, the hanging string 94 and the main patch 10
are positioned relatively, the main patch 10 leans against the
backside of head of user 90, the front side of the main patch 10 is
opposite to the head of the user 90, and the hanging strings 94
pass by both sides of the head of the user 90 respectively. The
main patch 10 is regulated to be close to or far from the back end
of the hanging string 94, the tightness of the hanging string 94
can be regulated when wearing the mask 92, to avoid the hanging
string 94 being too loose, and it is unnecessary to hang the
hanging string 94 on the ear 96 of the user 90, there will be no
pain in the ear 96 due to the hanging string 94, favorable for
long-term wearing of the mask 92. For easy identification of the
morphology of the hanging string 94 embedded in the embedding
groove 14, the hanging string 94 extended through the embedding
groove 14 to the back side of the main patch 10 is not shown in
FIG. 5.
[0026] Two hook-shaped pieces 20 are disposed on both ends in
length direction of the main patch 10. The hook-shaped piece 20
comprises a connecting part 22 and a hook part 24. The front end of
the connecting part 22 is in contact with the main patch 10. The
hook part 24 is in contact with the back end of the connecting part
22, and the hook part 24 extends towards the back side of the main
patch 10, the connecting part 22 laterally penetrates a through
hole 222.
[0027] As shown in FIG. 6, the user 90 can put the back end of the
hanging string 94 through the through groove 22 from front to back,
and put the back end of the hanging string 94 through the through
hole 222, and then the user 90 can grip the part of the hanging
string 94 out of the through hole 222 and the part of the hanging
string 94 at the front edge of the main patch 10, and pull the
hanging string 94 outwards, so that the hanging string 94 can be
embedded in the embedding groove 14 easily.
[0028] As shown in FIG. 7, the user 90 can put the back end of the
hanging string 94 in the through hole 222, so that the hanging
string 94 is placed between the hook part 24 and the main patch 10,
and the back end of the hanging string 94 is fitted over the hook
part 24, the hanging string 94 is in contact with the hook-shaped
piece 20, so as to regulate the tightness of the hanging string 94,
to avoid the hanging string 94 being too tight.
[0029] As shown in FIG. 8, the user 90 can put the back end of
hanging string 94 on one side of the mask 92 in the through hole
222 of an hook-shaped piece 20, so that the hanging string 94 is
placed between the hook part 24 and the main patch 10, and then the
back end of the hanging string 94 is fitted over the hook part 24,
the hanging string 95 on the opposite side of the mask 92 is
directly hung on the hook part 24 of the other hook-shaped piece
20, so as to enhance the convenience of wearing or removing the
mask 92.
[0030] As shown in FIG. 2, the orthographic projection of the end
242 of the hook part 24 on the main patch 10 located between the
connecting part 22 and the embedding groove 14 is a preferred
implementation choice, hereby, when the hanging string 94 passes
through the through groove 12 and slides in the embedding groove
14, the hook part 24 will not obstruct the part of the hanging
string 94 behind the main patch 10.
[0031] As shown in FIG. 9, said preferred embodiment can be changed
to another embodiment, another embodiment has a main patch 10,
wherein the main patch 10 goes through two through grooves 12 and
two embedding grooves 14, the major difference between another
embodiment and the preferred embodiment is that another embodiment
lacks the hook-shaped piece 20 of the preferred embodiment.
