  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same elements, and duplicate descriptions are omitted.

  FIG. 1 is a rear view showing an embodiment of a mask according to the present invention. The mask 1 includes a main body 10, an ear hook 20, and a protection member 30. The main body 10 has a sheet shape and covers at least a part of the face of the wearer. In the present embodiment, the main body 10 covers only the nose and mouth of the wearer's eyes, nose and mouth. FIG. 1 shows the inner surface of the main body 10 (the surface facing the wearer's face). The main body 10 is made of a material having air permeability. As such a material, for example, a nonwoven fabric, gauze, or paper can be used.

  Ear hooks 20 are provided on the left and right sides of the main body 10. The ear hook 20 is configured to be hung on the wearer's ear. The main body 10 can be fixed to the face of the wearer by putting the ear hook 20 on the ear. In the present embodiment, the ear hooking portion 20 has a string shape. Moreover, the ear hook part 20 has elasticity. As this ear hook part 20, a rubber string can be used, for example.

  A protection member 30 is attached to the ear hook 20. The protection member 30 has a sheet shape and is freely deformable. As shown in FIG. 2, the protection member 30 is configured to be brought closer to the distal end side (the side far from the main body portion 10) of the ear hook portion 20. The protection member 30 is brought close to the distal end side of the ear hook 20 while maintaining the state of being attached to the ear hook 20. Thereby, the protection member 30 can be gathered to the front end side of the ear hook part 20. In the present embodiment, substantially the entire protection member 30 is configured to concentrate on the portion of the ear hook 20 that contacts the back of the wearer's ear.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the protection member 30 covers the wearer's ear 90 in an unfolded state. At this time, the protection member 30 is configured to swell outward. Thus, the wearer's ear 90 is three-dimensionally covered by the protection member 30. In the present embodiment, the protection member 30 is provided so as to cover the entire ear 90. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, the protection member 30 does not cover the ear 90 in a state where the protection member 30 is brought close to the distal end side of the ear hook 20. That is, the protective member 30 can be moved toward the tip end side of the ear hook 20 so as not to cover the ear 90. At this time, the protection member 30 is interposed between the back of the ear 90 and the ear hook portion 20 in the state of a heel. In FIGS. 3 and 4, the main body 10 is shown to be transparent in order to make the drawings easy to see.

  The end of the protection member 30 is formed in a bag shape as shown in FIG. This figure shows an end surface along the line V-V in FIG. In detail, the part except the edge part by the side of the main-body part 10 among the edge parts of the protection member 30 is formed in the bag shape. The end portion having such a shape can be obtained, for example, by sewing or pressure bonding in a state where the end of the protection member 30 is folded. The string-like ear hook 20 described above is passed through the bag-like end. In this way, the protection member 30 is attached to the ear hook 20. However, the protection member 30 is not fixed to the ear hook portion 20. That is, the protection member 30 is provided so as to be movable along the ear hook portion 20.

  The back surface of the protection member 30 (the surface facing the wearer's ear in the unfolded state) may be brushed. The protection member 30 may consist of a sound insulation sheet. Further, the protective member 30 may contain an insect repellent. The thickness of the protection member 30 is preferably larger than the thickness of the main body 10. The protection member 30 may be made of the same material as that of the main body 10 or may be made of a material different from that of the main body 10.

  The effect of the mask 1 will be described. In the mask 1, a protection member 30 is attached to the ear hook 20. The protection member 30 has a sheet shape and is configured to be brought close to the tip side of the ear hook portion 20. Thus, the protection member 30 brought close to the distal end side of the ear hook 20 is interposed between the ear hook 20 and the back of the ear and functions as a cushioning material. Thereby, the burden concerning a wearer's ear back can be reduced.

  Moreover, the protection member 30 is provided so as to cover the ears of the wearer in the unfolded state. Covering the ear with the protective member 30 is useful as a countermeasure against cold, soundproof, insectproof, and the like. Thus, the protective member 30 has not only a function of reducing the burden on the back of the ear, but also a function of covering the ear. That is, the protective member 30 protects the ear in the sense of reducing the burden on the back of the ear, and also protects the ear in the sense of covering the ear to protect against cold, sound, insects, and the like. This contributes to improvement of convenience for the wearer. Accordingly, the mask 1 that can reduce the burden on the back of the wearer's ears and is highly convenient is realized.

  As described above, the mask 1 can be used in two ways: the state in which the protective member 30 is spread and the state in which the protective member 30 is brought close to the distal end side of the ear hook portion 20. Therefore, for example, when the wearer is outdoors, the mask 1 is used in a state in which the protection member 30 is spread with priority on cold protection, whereas when wearing, the wearer gives priority to reducing the burden on the back of the ear. Thus, it can be said that the mask 1 is used in a state where the protective member 30 is brought close.

  The protection member 30 is provided so as to be movable along the ear hook 20. Thereby, the switching between the state in which the protective member 30 is expanded and the state in which the protective member 30 is moved can be easily performed.

  The protection member 30 has a bag-like end portion, and the protection member 30 is attached to the ear hook portion 20 by passing the string-like ear hook portion 20 through the end portion. Thereby, the protection member 30 movable along the ear hook 20 can be realized with a simple configuration.

  In a state in which the protection member 30 is brought close to the distal end side of the ear hook portion 20, substantially the entire protection member 30 is configured to concentrate on a portion of the ear hook portion 20 that contacts the back of the ear. Thereby, the buffer effect of the protection member 30 in the said part can be heightened.

  The ear hook 20 has elasticity. Thereby, the main-body part 10 can be fixed to a face firmly. However, when the ear hooking portion has elasticity as described above, a force applied to the ear is applied to the wearer by the wearer, so that a burden on the ear back is increased. Therefore, in this case, the mask 1 that can reduce the burden on the back of the ear is particularly useful.

  The protection member 30 covers the entire ear of the wearer in the unfolded state. Thereby, the effects of the protection member 30 such as cold protection, soundproofing and insectproofing can be enhanced. Moreover, when the thickness of the protective member 30 is larger than the thickness of the main body part 10, it is suitable for enhancing these effects.

  When the back surface of the protection member 30 is brushed, the cold protection effect by the protection member 30 can be particularly enhanced. When the protection member 30 consists of a sound insulation sheet, the soundproofing effect by the protection member 30 can be heightened especially. Moreover, when the protection member 30 contains an insect repellent, the insect repellent effect by the protection member 30 can be particularly enhanced.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. In the embodiment, a fixing means for temporarily fixing the protection member 30 to the main body 10 may be provided in a state where the protection member 30 is spread. As such fixing means, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, a belt-like member 40 extending from the end of the protective member 30 on the main body 10 side to the main body 10 can be used. One end of the belt-like member 40 is fixed to the protection member 30. At the other end of the belt-like member 40, an adhesive portion 42 having an adhesive force with respect to the main body portion 10 is provided. The other end of the belt-like member 40 is temporarily fixed to the main body part 10 via the adhesive part 42. Thereby, the state in which the ear is covered with the protection member 30 can be reliably maintained.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the band-shaped member 40 can also be used to bundle the protective members 30 in a state where the protective members 30 are brought close to the distal end side of the ear hook portion 20. By doing so, the state in which the protection member 30 is brought close to the tip end side of the ear hook 20 can be reliably maintained.

  In the said embodiment, the protection member 30 of the state extended at the time of mounting | wearing showed the example which extended only to a part of area | region inside the ear hook part 20 (refer FIG. 3). However, as shown in FIG. 8, the protective member 30 may extend over substantially the entire region inside the ear hook 20 in a state where the protective member 30 is widened when worn. An adhesive part (not shown) having an adhesive force with respect to the main body part 10 is provided at the end of the protective member 30 on the main body part 10 side. This adhesive part functions as a fixing means for temporarily fixing the protection member 30 to the main body part 10. In this way, when the protection member 30 extends over the entire area inside the ear hooking portion 20, there is no gap between the main body portion 10 and the protection member 30. Suitable for enhancing. Moreover, since the adhesion part is provided as a fixing means, the state without a clearance gap between the main-body part 10 and the protection member 30 can be maintained reliably.

  In addition, this adhesive portion can be adhered to a portion of the protective member 30 where the adhesive portion is not provided in a state where the protective member 30 is brought closer to the distal end side of the ear hook portion 20. By doing so, the state in which the protection member 30 is brought close to the tip end side of the ear hook 20 can be reliably maintained.

  In the said embodiment, the main-body part 10 which covers a nose and a mouth among a wearer's eyes, nose, and mouth was illustrated. However, the main body 10 may cover only the mouth or may cover only the nose. Or the main-body part 10 may cover only eyes like an eye mask. Moreover, the main-body part 10 may cover all eyes, a nose, and a mouth.
