に関するものである。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention (the invention according to each claim) relates to a mask used on the face as a sanitary article covering the mouth and nose, and particularly to an operating room such as a hospital or a semiconductor manufacturing factory. And the like used in a clean room or the like.

A face mask is worn to prevent contamination and dirt of indoor air due to bacteria and dust. In order to effectively cut off the inside and outside of the mask, it is necessary to make the face mask almost the same as the shape of the face around the mouth and nose. There are types such as a folded type in which both ends are fixed, and a three-dimensional molded type that has a three-dimensional shape in advance and does not deform.

ち、通常は一般的な顔面マスクで、平面的な形状である
が、使用する際に重なり部を拡げるようにするだけで、
立体的形状にすることができる。The folding type is one in which a rectangular cloth is partially folded and both ends are stopped. When the overlapping portion is expanded, the mask main body is three-dimensionally formed. It has a substantially convex shape. In other words, it is usually a general face mask and has a planar shape, but when you use it, you can simply expand the overlapping part,
It can have a three-dimensional shape.

【０００４】しかしながら、マスクで口や鼻を覆われる

は、ごく細かいメッシュであるとともに、マスク本体部
裏面に口が直接あたるため、通気面積が狭くなりがちで
ある。したがって、普通に呼吸したり他のスタッフと話
をしたりするたびにマスクの布地が動き、より一層呼吸
等がしづらくなる。However, in addition to the fact that the mouth and nose are covered with a mask, the material of the mask used is a very fine mesh, and the mouth directly contacts the back surface of the mask body, so the ventilation area is narrow. It tends to be. Therefore, the cloth of the mask moves every time the person normally breathes or talks with other staff, and it becomes more difficult to breathe.

Is provided parallel to the long side of the rectangular mask body, and both ends of the longitudinal elastic member are positioned before reaching both short sides of the mask body, and the periphery of the longitudinal elastic member is Since it is integrated with the mask body by welding, bonding, sewing, etc., when the mask is attached to the face, if the folds are widened, both the elastic member and the mask body are deformed, A substantially convex shape with a substantially central portion protruding, and the elastic member can hold the substantially convex shape of the mask body. If the mask is attached to the face in this state, the substantially convex back surface of the mask body Side is omitted The shape of the mask makes it possible to provide a space between the mask and the mouth, so that the mask is less likely to directly touch the mouth, and the usability of the mask can be improved. Because the mask can be used with wide folds,
When manufacturing and shipping the mask in a factory or the like, the mask can be compactly packaged in a substantially flat shape.
