本発明は、野球やソフトボール、アイスホッケーなどの競技スポーツ、或いは、格闘技等の各種分野において用いられる顔面保護マスクで、詳しくは、マスクフレームの裏面に緩衝パッドが取付けられている顔面保護マスクに関する。 The present invention relates to a face protection mask used in various fields such as baseball, softball, ice hockey and other sports, or martial arts, and more particularly to a face protection mask having a buffer pad attached to the back surface of a mask frame. .

従来の顔面保護マスクでは、前記緩衝パッドを、パッド長手方向で連続する単一の緩衝材と、当該緩衝材の全周を被覆する合成皮革等のパッド外皮とから構成し、前記緩衝材のパッド長手方向複数箇所に、顔面側に開口する凹状の溝を形成するとともに、前記パッド外皮の顔面側となる裏面側外皮部における前記緩衝材の凹状溝に対応する部分を、凹状溝の底面におけるパッド長手方向の中央位置にまでＶ字状に入り込ませ、この裏面側外皮部のＶ字状入り込み部分の先端と、緩衝材における凹状溝の底面側部位、及びマスクフレームの裏面に取付けられるパッド表皮の表面側外皮部とを縫着していた（特許文献１，２参照）。 In the conventional face protection mask, the cushioning pad is composed of a single cushioning material that is continuous in the longitudinal direction of the pad and a pad outer skin such as synthetic leather that covers the entire circumference of the cushioning material, and the cushioning pad.

従来の顔面保護マスクでは、前記パッド外皮の裏面側外皮部におけるパッド長手方向複数箇所にＶ字状の窪みが形成されているため、緩衝パッドが顔面の周囲に沿って縦長の長環形状又はそれに近い形状で配置されるマスク形態では、顔面の前端から左右の後方側に回り込む湾曲量が少ない分だけ、裏面側外皮部のＶ字状窪みでの開口幅の縮小が少なくなり、このＶ字状窪みを通気路とする通気性を確保することができる。 In the conventional face protection mask, V-shaped depressions are formed at a plurality of locations in the longitudinal direction of the pad in the outer skin portion of the back surface of the pad skin. In the mask form arranged in a close shape, the reduction in the opening width at the V-shaped depression in the back side skin portion is reduced by the amount of curvature that wraps around from the front edge of the face to the left and right rear sides, and this V-shape The air permeability which makes a hollow a ventilation path is securable.

しかし、前記緩衝パッドが顔面の顎部及び額部において前端から左右の後方側に回り込む状態で配置されるマスク形態では、湾曲配置によるパッド外皮のＶ字状窪みでの開口幅の縮小が大きくなるため、パッド外皮のＶ字状窪みに臨む対向面同士が密着して通気性が確保できなくなる可能性がある。 However, in the mask configuration in which the cushion pad is arranged in a state of wrapping around the front and rear left and right sides in the jaw and forehead of the face, the reduction of the opening width in the V-shaped depression of the pad outer skin due to the curved arrangement becomes large. For this reason, the opposing surfaces facing the V-shaped depressions of the pad outer skin may be in close contact with each other and air permeability may not be ensured.

また、従来の顔面保護マスクにおいては、前記パッド外皮の裏面側外皮部における顔面への当て付け面が、複数のＶ字状の窪みによって断続形成されているため、パッド外皮の各当て付け面が顔面の形状や動きに追従し易く、さらに、ボール等との衝突時における各当て付け面の個々の独立した圧縮作動により、前記パッド外皮の顔面への当て付け面全体が連続した平滑面に形成されている場合に比して、装着時のフィット性及び緩衝性を向上することができるものの、前記パッド外皮の各当て付け面の動きが、パッド表皮の表面側外皮部において連続する緩衝材の基部によって制約されるため、フィット性及び緩衝性の向上にも自ずと限界があった。 Further, in the conventional face protection mask, the abutment surface to the face in the back side skin portion of the pad skin is intermittently formed by a plurality of V-shaped depressions, so that each abutment surface of the pad skin is It is easy to follow the shape and movement of the face, and the entire abutment surface of the pad skin to the face is formed into a continuous smooth surface by the independent compression operation of each abutment surface at the time of collision with a ball etc. Although it is possible to improve the fit and cushioning properties at the time of wearing compared to the case where it is applied, the movement of each abutment surface of the pad skin is a continuous cushioning material on the surface side skin part of the pad skin. Since it is constrained by the base, there is a limit to the improvement of fit and buffering.

本発明は、上述の実状に鑑みて為されたものであって、その主たる課題は、前記緩衝パッドの合理的な改造により、緩衝パッドが顔面の顎部及び額部において前端から左右の後方側に回り込む状態で配置されるマスク形態でも良好な通気性を確保することができるとともに、装着時のフィット性及び緩衝性も改善することのできる顔面保護マスクを提供する点にある。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-described situation, and the main problem is that the buffer pad is rearward from the front end to the left and right sides of the front jaw and the forehead by rational modification of the buffer pad. The present invention is to provide a face protection mask that can ensure good air permeability even in the form of a mask arranged in a state of wrapping around the face, and can also improve fit and cushioning properties when worn.

本発明による第１の特徴構成は、マスクフレームの裏面に緩衝パッドが取付けられている顔面保護マスクであって、
前記緩衝パッドには、パッド長手方向で複数に分割された分割パッド部と、マスクフレームへの取付け時に少なくとも分割パッド部の隣接間の取付け基部側に通気空間を現出する状態で隣接分割パッド部同士を間隔を空けて屈曲可能に連結する可撓連結体とが備えられている点にある。 A first characteristic configuration according to the present invention is a face protection mask in which a buffer pad is attached to the back surface of a mask frame,
The buffer pad includes a divided pad portion divided into a plurality of pads in the longitudinal direction of the pad, and an adjacent divided pad portion in a state in which a ventilation space appears at least on the attachment base side between adjacent portions of the divided pad portion when attached to the mask frame. It is in the point provided with the flexible coupling body which connects each other so that bending is possible.

上記構成によれば、前記緩衝パッドが独立した複数の分割パッド部から構成され、且つ、前記可撓連結体によって隣接分割パッド部同士が間隔を空けて屈曲可能に連結されているから、例え、緩衝パッドが顔面の顎部及び額部において前端から左右の後方側に回り込む状態で配置されるマスク形態であっても、マスクフレームへの取付け時には、少なくとも分割パッド部の隣接間の取付け基部側に通気空間を現出することができる。 According to the above configuration, the buffer pad is composed of a plurality of independent divided pad portions, and the adjacent divided pad portions are connected to each other so as to be bendable with the flexible connector, for example, Even when the cushion pad is in the form of a mask that is arranged in the state where it wraps around from the front end to the left and right rear sides in the jaw and forehead of the face, at the time of attachment to the mask frame, at least on the attachment base side between adjacent division pads A ventilation space can be revealed.

さらに、前記緩衝パッドを構成する複数の分割パッド部が独立して圧縮作動することができるため、各分割パッド部の当て付け面が顔面の形状や動きに追従し易くなり、しかも、隣接分割パッド部同士が屈曲可能な可撓連結体で連結されているため、マスクフレームに衝撃力が作用したとき、前記通気空間に対応する可撓連結体の可撓範囲内で隣接する分割パッド部同士が相対近接移動することが可能となる。 Further, since the plurality of divided pad portions constituting the buffer pad can be independently compressed, the abutment surface of each divided pad portion can easily follow the shape and movement of the face, and the adjacent divided pads. Since the parts are connected by a flexible connecting body that can be bent, when an impact force is applied to the mask frame, adjacent divided pad parts within the flexible range of the flexible connecting body corresponding to the ventilation space It becomes possible to move in relative proximity.

従って、緩衝パッドが顔面の顎部及び額部において前端から左右の後方側に回り込む状態で配置されるマスク形態でも、マスクフレームへの取付け時には、少なくとも分割パッド部の隣接間の取付け基部側に通気空間を現出して良好な通気性を確保することができるとともに、複数の分割パッド部での独立した圧縮作動と通気空間に対応する可撓連結体の可撓範囲内での隣接分割パッド部の相対近接移動により、装着時のフィット性を向上することができるばかりでなく、マスクフレームに作用する衝撃力を効率良く緩和することができる。 Therefore, even in a mask configuration in which the cushion pad is arranged in a state where it wraps around from the front end to the left and right rear sides in the jaw and forehead of the face, at the time of attachment to the mask frame, at least the attachment base side between the adjacent divided pad portions is ventilated. The space can be revealed and good air permeability can be ensured. In addition, independent compression operation in a plurality of divided pad portions and the adjacent divided pad portions in the flexible range corresponding to the vented space can be provided. By the relative proximity movement, not only the fitting property at the time of mounting can be improved, but also the impact force acting on the mask frame can be efficiently reduced.

There is in point.

上記構成によれば、マスクフレームへの取付け時には、少なくとも分割パッド部の隣接間の取付け基部側に通気空間を現出して良好な通気性を確保することができるから、マスクフレームの裏面に取付けられる顎部用緩衝パッド又は額部用緩衝パッド若しくは両緩衝パッドとして最適に使用できる。 According to the above configuration, at the time of attachment to the mask frame, the ventilation space can appear at least on the attachment base side between the adjacent portions of the divided pad portion to ensure good air permeability. It can be optimally used as a buffer pad for jaw or a buffer pad for forehead or both buffer pads.

本発明による第３の特徴構成は、前記緩衝パッドを構成する各分割パッド部には、前記マスクフレームに対してパッド長手方向での相対移動を許容する状態で取付け可能な装着具が設けられている点にある。 According to a third characteristic configuration of the present invention, each of the divided pad portions constituting the buffer pad is provided with a mounting tool that can be attached to the mask frame while allowing relative movement in the pad longitudinal direction. There is in point.

上記構成によれば、前記マスクフレームに衝撃力が作用したとき、前記各分割パッド部に設けた装着具とマスクフレームとの間におけるパッド長手方向での相対移動と、複数の分割パッド部での独立した圧縮作動、及び、前記通気空間に対応する可撓連結体の可撓範囲内での隣接分割パッド部の相対近接移動とにより、マスクフレームに作用する衝撃力をより効率良く緩和することができる。 According to the above configuration, when an impact force acts on the mask frame, the relative movement in the longitudinal direction of the pad between the mounting tool provided on each of the divided pad portions and the mask frame, and the plurality of divided pad portions The impact force acting on the mask frame can be more efficiently reduced by the independent compression operation and the relative proximity movement of the adjacent divided pad portions within the flexible range of the flexible coupling body corresponding to the ventilation space. it can.

本発明による第４の特徴構成は、前記可撓連結体には、少なくとも前記分割パッド部の隣接間における通気空間形成領域の前方に対応する部位に通気性生地が配設されている点にある。 According to a fourth feature of the present invention, the flexible connector is provided with a breathable fabric at a position corresponding to the front of the ventilation space forming region at least between the adjacent divided pad portions. .

上記構成によれば、前記可撓連結体の一部又は全部を構成する通気性生地を通して、少なくとも分割パッド部の隣接間の取付け基部側に現出される通気空間とマスクの外面側とにわたる通気流が発生するため、通気性の向上を図ることができる。 According to the above-described configuration, at least the ventilation space that appears on the attachment base side between the adjacent portions of the split pad portion and the outer surface side of the mask are passed through the breathable fabric that constitutes part or all of the flexible connector. Since airflow is generated, air permeability can be improved.

本発明による第５の特徴構成は、前記可撓連結体の通気空間長手方向での幅が、前記分割パッド部の通気空間長手方向での幅よりも小に構成されている点にある。 According to a fifth characteristic configuration of the present invention, the width of the flexible connector in the longitudinal direction of the ventilation space is smaller than the width of the divided pad portion in the longitudinal direction of the ventilation space.

上記構成によれば、前記可撓連結体の通気空間長手方向での幅が小さくなる分だけ、前記分割パッド部の隣接間での前方側への開口面積が大きくなり、通気性能の向上を図ることができる。しかも、前記可撓連結体の通気空間長手方向での幅が分割パッド部と同じ幅に構成されている場合に比して、前記通気空間に対応する可撓連結体の可撓性が高くなり、隣接分割パッド部のスムーズな相対近接移動によって緩衝性能の向上を図ることができる。 According to the above configuration, the opening area to the front side between the adjacent portions of the divided pad portion is increased by the amount that the width of the flexible connector in the longitudinal direction of the ventilation space is reduced, and the ventilation performance is improved. be able to. Moreover, the flexibility of the flexible connector corresponding to the ventilation space is higher than when the width of the flexible connector in the longitudinal direction of the ventilation space is the same as that of the split pad portion. The buffer performance can be improved by the smooth relative proximity movement of the adjacent divided pad portions.

前記顎部用緩衝パッドＰ１は、パッド長手方向で複数に分割（当該実施形態では３つに分割）された分割パッド部３と、マスクフレーム１への取付け時に少なくとも分割パッド部３の隣接間の取付け基部側に通気空間Ｓを現出する状態で隣接分割パッド部３同士を間隔Ｗを空けて屈曲可能に連結する可撓連結体４とから構成されているとともに、前記額部用緩衝パッドＰ２は、顔面に対する当て付け面１０ａがパッド長手方向で複数に断続形成された単一のパッドから構成されている。 The jaw buffer pad P1 is divided into a plurality of divided pad parts 3 in the longitudinal direction of the pad (divided into three parts in the present embodiment) and at least between adjacent pad parts 3 when attached to the mask frame 1. The forehead buffer pad P2 includes a flexible coupling body 4 that flexibly connects the adjacent divided pad portions 3 with a gap W in a state where the ventilation space S appears on the mounting base side. Is composed of a single pad in which the abutting surface 10a with respect to the face is intermittently formed in the longitudinal direction of the pad.

前記顎部用緩衝パッドＰ１の各分割パッド部３は、図２に示すように、顔面に対する当て付け面５ａを備えた合成皮革や天然皮革等で製作される裏面側の外皮５と、マスクフレーム１への取付け面６ａを備えた合成皮革や天然皮革等で製作される表面側の外皮６と、前記裏面側外皮５の内面に沿って層状に配設されるクッション性に優れた合成樹脂製の第１発泡体７Ａと、前記表面側外皮６の内面に沿って層状に配設されるクッション性に優れた合成樹脂製の第２発泡体７Ｂと、第１・第２発泡体７Ａ，７Ｂ間に囲繞されるブロック状の合成樹脂製の第３発泡体７Ｃとからなる。 As shown in FIG. 2, the divided pad portions 3 of the buffer pad P1 for the chin portion include an outer skin 5 on the back side made of synthetic leather or natural leather having an abutting surface 5a for the face, and a mask frame. 1 made of synthetic leather having a mounting surface 6a to 1 or synthetic leather, natural leather or the like, and a synthetic resin having excellent cushioning properties arranged in layers along the inner surface of the back side skin 5 The first foam 7A, the second foam 7B made of a synthetic resin excellent in cushioning properties and disposed in layers along the inner surface of the surface side skin 6, and the first and second foams 7A, 7B It is composed of a block-shaped synthetic resin-made third foam 7C surrounded by them.

前記第１発泡体７Ａと第２発泡体７Ｂ及び第３発泡体７Ｃとをもって、前記マスクフレーム１に作用する衝撃力を吸収する緩衝材７が構成されているとともに、前記裏面側外皮５と表面側外皮６及び第１・第２発泡体７Ａ，７Ｂとが重合する４層構造の周縁部が繊維製の縁巻きテープ８を巻き付けた状態で縫着されている。 The first foam 7A, the second foam 7B, and the third foam 7C constitute a cushioning material 7 that absorbs the impact force acting on the mask frame 1, and the back side skin 5 and the surface A peripheral portion of a four-layer structure in which the side skin 6 and the first and second foams 7A and 7B are polymerized is sewn in a state in which a fiber rim winding tape 8 is wound.

そして、上述の如く、前記顎部用緩衝パッドＰ１が独立した複数の分割パッド部３から構成され、且つ、前記メッシュ生地４の可撓性によって隣接分割パッド部３同士が間隔Ｗを空けて屈曲可能に連結されているので、マスクフレーム１の裏面側の下側部に対して顎部用緩衝パッドＰ１が顔面の顎部において前端から左右の後方側に湾曲しながら回り込む状態で取付けられていても、分割パッド部３の隣接間の少なくとも取付け基部側に通気空間Ｓを確実に現出することができる。 As described above, the jaw buffer pad P1 is composed of a plurality of independent divided pad portions 3, and the adjacent divided pad portions 3 are bent with an interval W due to the flexibility of the mesh fabric 4. Since they are connected to each other, the chin buffer pad P1 is attached to the lower side of the back side of the mask frame 1 so as to bend around the front chin while curving from the front end to the left and right rear sides. In addition, the ventilation space S can reliably appear at least on the attachment base side between the adjacent portions of the divided pad portion 3.

さらに、前記顎部用緩衝パッドＰ１を構成する複数の分割パッド部３が独立して圧縮作動することができるため、各分割パッド部３の裏面側外皮５の当て付け面５ａが顔面の形状や動きに追従し易くなり、しかも、隣接分割パッド部３同士が柔軟性と通気性に優れたメッシュ生地４で連結されているため、マスクフレーム１に衝撃力が作用したとき、前記間隔Ｗ及び通気空間Ｓに対応するメッシュ生地４の可撓範囲内で隣接する分割パッド部３同士が相対近接移動することが可能となり、マスクフレーム１に作用する衝撃力を効率良く緩和することができる。 Further, since the plurality of divided pad portions 3 constituting the jaw buffer pad P1 can be independently compressed, the abutment surface 5a of the back side outer skin 5 of each divided pad portion 3 has a facial shape, It becomes easy to follow the movement, and the adjacent divided pad portions 3 are connected to each other by the mesh fabric 4 having excellent flexibility and air permeability. The adjacent divided pad portions 3 can move relative to each other within the flexible range of the mesh fabric 4 corresponding to the space S, and the impact force acting on the mask frame 1 can be efficiently reduced.

また、前記メッシュ生地４の通気空間Ｓ長手方向での幅Ｄ1が、前記分割パッド部の通気空間長手方向での幅Ｄ２よりも小に構成されているとともに、前記顎部用緩衝パッドＰ１を構成する複数の分割パッド部３の横断面視での隣接間隔Ｗが、前記マスクフレーム１への取付け面６ａを一直線状に揃えた状態で表裏（前後）方向で略一定又はそれに近い間隔に構成されている。 Further, a width D1 of the mesh fabric 4 in the longitudinal direction of the ventilation space S is configured to be smaller than a width D2 of the divided pad portion in the longitudinal direction of the ventilation space, and the buffer pad P1 for the chin portion is configured. The adjacent spacing W of the plurality of divided pad portions 3 in a cross-sectional view is configured to be substantially constant or close to the front and back (front-rear) direction with the mounting surfaces 6a to the mask frame 1 aligned in a straight line. ing.

そして、前記メッシュ生地４の通気空間Ｓ長手方向での幅Ｄ１が、前記分割パッド部３の通気空間Ｓ長手方向での幅Ｄ２よりも小さくなる分だけ、前記分割パッド部３の隣接間での前方側への開口面積が大きくなり、通気性能の向上を図ることができる。しかも、前記メッシュ生地４の通気空間Ｓ長手方向での幅Ｄ１が分割パッド部３と同じ幅に構成されている場合に比して、前記通気空間Ｓに対応するメッシュ生地４の可撓性が高くなり、隣接分割パッド部３同士のスムーズな相対近接移動によって緩衝性能の向上を図ることができる。 And the width D1 of the mesh fabric 4 in the longitudinal direction of the ventilation space S is smaller than the width D2 of the divided pad portion 3 in the longitudinal direction of the ventilation space S. The opening area to the front side is increased, and the ventilation performance can be improved. Moreover, the mesh fabric 4 corresponding to the ventilation space S is more flexible than when the width D1 of the mesh fabric 4 in the longitudinal direction of the ventilation space S is configured to be the same as that of the dividing pad portion 3. It becomes high and the buffering performance can be improved by the smooth relative proximity movement between the adjacent divided pad portions 3.
