Benefits of technology

[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide an eye mask capable of substantially recovering or restoring from eye fatigue or disordered ocular functions as a long-time treatment can be performed through sleeping hours.
[0007] Still another object of the present invention is to provide an eye mask with a simple structure, which can be mass-produced at low cost and can be easy to use.

Problems solved by technology

The effects of such products are temporary and wear off in a short time.
Furthermore, any conventional systems for warming eyeball parts by electric or electronic warming devices have some disadvantages.
For instance, each of them has an expensive complicated structure and is hard to handling.

Embodiment Construction

[0040] Preferred embodiments of this invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] FIGS. 1 to 4 show an eye mask as a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, an eye mask 10 comprises a mask member 11 and a constriction band 12. In this embodiment, a front panel 14 of the mask member 11 is provided as a shade plate.

[0042] An edge frame 16 is attached on the peripheral end of the front plate 14. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, a cushion 15 is mounted on the backside edge of the front plate 14. In this embodiment, the cushion 15 is constructed of a cloth bag filled with cotton, sponge, or the like.

[0043] Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a back plate 18 is fixed on the backside of the front plate 14 with a predetermined space between these plates 14, 18 to form a housing portion 19 for housing a warming member 21 described below. Furthermore, stopper members 17, 17a are provided on the middle...

Abstract

An eye mask has magnetic bodies and self-heating warm members, which are inserted in eye pads on a mask member to be placed over eyeball parts. If required, vibrators and illumination bodies may be additionally placed in the eye pads. Thus, fatigue on the eyes and surroundings thereof can be relieved by the magnetic actions of the magnetic bodies and the warming effects of the warming member, in addition to expected effects of restoring ocular functions, recovering from various ocular diseases, and so on. Furthermore, the surface of each of the eye pads is gradually curved like the inner surface of a sphere. When the eye pads are press-contact to the eyeball parts at predetermined pressures for a long time, the cornea can be warmed by the warming members so that the shape of the cornea can be changed along the shape of the eye pad, resulting in the effects of recovering from eye sight disorder such as pseudo-myopia, moderate farsightedness, or moderate astigmatism.

Description

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention[0002] The present invention relates to an eye mask having the excellent effects of recovering from eye fatigue and recovering ocular functions and also having functions for recovering from eye sight disorder such as pseudo-myopia, moderate farsightedness or moderate astigmatism, as well as hypnosis effect.[0003] 2. Detailed Description of Prior Art[0004] Various kinds of products for recovering from eye fatigue are commercially available. For instance, a warming or cooling pad in the shape of an eye patch is known in the art. The effects of such products are temporary and wear off in a short time. Furthermore, any conventional systems for warming eyeball parts by electric or electronic warming devices have some disadvantages. For instance, each of them has an expensive complicated structure and is hard to handling.[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide an eye mask having excellent effects of: recovering from eye fatigue; restoring oc...
