JPH03261484A - Protective filter mask for eyes and nostrils for pollen allergy - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To protect the eyes and the nostrils against the fine particles of pollen by providing an eye cover of the width in contact with the face around a spectacle frames, boring vent holes for respiration on the under surface and side surfaces of the nose cover and mounting a filter sheet for removing the fine particles in the air on the inner side of the nose cover. CONSTITUTION:The fin-like cover 2 of about the width at which the cover comes into contact with the face is provided around the spectacle frame 1 and the nose cover 3 of the shape to fully enclose the nose is so mounted to the spectacle frame 1 as to be integrated to this frame. The nose cover 3 is bored with the vent holes 4 for respiration mainly on the under surface and, in some cases, supplementally on the side surfaces as well. A filter sheet 5 having the effect of removing the fine particles in the air is mounted to the inner side of the nose cover 3 in the form of closing the vent holes by a method to allow the easy attachment and detachment for exchange. The infiltration of the fine particles, such as pollen and dust, which are the case for the allergy is prevented and the generation of symptoms is suppressed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to directly cover the eyes and nose and protect the eyes and nasal passages from fine particles such as pollen as a countermeasure against cedar pollinosis, which has rapidly become a social problem in recent years. The goal is to protect and suppress symptoms. At the same time, just like with eyeglasses, by adding design, it becomes possible to create products that are highly fashionable, making them easier to wear on a daily basis.

(Conventional technology) Currently! To deal with allergies caused by pollen and pollen,
In addition to medical treatment to suppress symptoms with drugs, people should avoid going out as much as possible during the pollen season,
If I wanted to go out, I had no choice but to wear a mask. However, wearing a mask naturally does not protect your eyes. Moreover, when you go out and meet people, it becomes difficult to have a conversation while wearing them. In addition, there were factors that hindered wearing, such as the unsightly appearance, and this was an incomplete response. As a result, many people suffered from allergic symptoms in their eyes and nose, which rapidly became a social problem.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) ・Protection of the eyes and nose from allergy causes ・Creation of a product that does not cause discomfort even in daily use 2.
In order for this invention to be widely accepted, it is important that these two things be achieved at the same time.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Even with conventional general eyeglasses, when worn, the eyes are more or less protected from dust than when seen with the naked eye. Therefore, in order to further enhance the eye protection effect, we widened the circumference of the conventional eyeglass frame, creating a structure that allows it to fit more closely to the face and covering the area around the eyes. In addition, the nose is completely covered with a cover that has a filter effect that filters the air that is inhaled, preventing allergy-causing substances from entering. In addition, the nose cover is held in place by being fixed and integrally attached to the eyeglass frame.

Therefore, to explain its composition, (a) around the eyeglass frame (1), a width that is close to the face;
A fin-like cover (2) is provided.

(b) Attach the nose cover (3), which is shaped to completely enclose the nose, to the eyeglass frame (1) so that it is integrated with it.

(c) The above nose cover (3) mainly includes:
Depending on the situation, additional ventilation holes may be made on the sides for ventilation.

(d) A filter sheet, which is effective in removing fine particles in the air, is attached to the inside of the nose cover (3) in a manner that blocks the ventilation holes and can be easily attached and detached.

The device integrated as described above is used by being worn on the face in the same way as eyeglasses.

(Function) The fin-like cover around the eyeglass frame prevents air from hitting the eyes directly. In addition, a filter attached to the nose cover filters the air inhaled through the nose.

(Example) There is a considerable difference in allergy symptoms from people who have itchy eyes and a runny nose at the same time, and those who only have sneezing, runny nose, or only eye symptoms. There is. Furthermore, there are people who use glasses on a daily basis and people who do not, so it is natural that there will be individual differences in how this invention is used. For this reason, in addition to the product in which the eye cover and the nose cover are completely integrated into the eyeglass frame shown in claim 1, there is also a product in which the eyeglass frame with the eye cover and the nose cover can be separated (claim 2). h, and a product that allows only the nose cover to be attached to commercially available ordinary eyeglasses and sunglasses (M claim 3) as a practical consideration to make this invention more widely available. I think it's necessary.

There are several ways to easily attach the nose cover to the eyeglass frame: using spring clips, tightening with screws, and directly pressing the eyeglass frame by adding elasticity to the material of the nose cover itself. You can consider various things depending on the mirror frame.

In addition, as for the correspondence of size to individual differences in face shape,
In addition to preparing several sizes, we can also manufacture eye and nose covers from materials that can be easily cut on the spot, allowing us to respond to semi-custom orders, or completely custom-make them to fit your face. It is possible that

(Effect of the invention) Directly covers the eyes and nose that cause allergic symptoms, prevents the entry of fine particles such as pollen and dust that cause allergies, and suppresses the occurrence of symptoms.

Furthermore, by choosing a method that absorbs odors into the filter structure, it can also be used to remove cigarette odors and exhaust gas odors. Moreover, 1.Unlike normally used masks, your mouth is always free, so it does not interfere with conversation, eating, and drinking, and the feeling of use is similar to glasses, so you get used to it in a short time, so you can wear it for long periods of time. Even when worn, it can be used without interfering with daily life.

In addition to the above-mentioned practical effects, by adding design into consideration, it is possible to seek fashionability and create products that meet a wide variety of needs.
