Benefits of technology

[0005]In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a mask, comprising a thin film layer having a surface formed with a plurality of net-shaped irregular pores to provide a ventilating effect. The thin film layer is made of soft and tough material. The thin film layer is made of e-PTFE, TPE, TPEE, COC or FRP. Each of the pores of the thin film layer has a size smaller than that of dust, water molecule, bacterium and virus so that it can to isolate the dust, water molecule, bacterium and virus efficiently so as to prevent the dust, water molecule, bacterium and virus from entering the thin film layer.
[0011]The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a mask that providing a comfortable sensation to a user.
[0012]According to the primary objective of the present invention, the thin film layer is made of e-PTFE, TPE, TPEE, COC or FRP so that the thin film layer is soft and has a breathability and permeability effects to provide a comfortable sensation to the user.
[0013]According to another objective of the present invention, the thin film layer has a plurality of pores and each having a size smaller than that of the dust, water molecule, bacterium and virus to isolate the dust, water molecule, bacterium and virus efficiently so as to prevent the dust, water molecule, bacterium and virus from entering the thin film layer so that the thin film layer can isolate most of the harmful substances to protect the user's health.
[0014]According to a further objective of the present invention, the thin film layer is made of e-PTFE, TPE, TPEE, COC or FRP so that the thin film layer is waterproof, resistant to chemical agents, resistant to high and low temperature and is easily cleaned.
[0015]According to a further objective of the present invention, the thin film layer has a very small thickness and has a plurality of pores so that the thin film layer has a better ventilating effect to make the user breathe well.

Problems solved by technology

However, each of the straps has a fixed size so that the size of each of the straps cannot be adjusted to fit that of different users, and the mask body cannot be placed on the user's mouth and nose exactly and closely, thereby decreasing the sealing effect of the mask.
In addition, the mask body has a poor breathability and poor permeability so that when the user wears the mask body, the user cannot breathe smoothly, thereby easily causing an uncomfortable sensation to the user.

Embodiment Construction

[0026]Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS. 1 and 2, a mask in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a thin film layer 1 having a surface formed with a plurality of net-shaped irregular pores 11 to provide a ventilating effect. The thin film layer 1 is made of soft and tough material. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the thin film layer 1 is made of a material, such as e-PTFE (expanded polytetra-fluoro-ethylene), TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), TPEE (thermoplastic polyester / polyether elastomer), COC (cyclic olefin copolymer), FRP (fiber reinforced plastic) and the like. Each of the pores 11 of the thin film layer 1 has a size smaller than that of a dust, water molecule, bacterium and virus to isolate the dust, water molecule, bacterium and virus efficiently so as to prevent the dust, water molecule, bacterium and virus from entering the thin film layer 1.

Abstract

A mask includes a thin film layer having a plurality of net-shaped irregular pores to provide a ventilating effect, two loop-shaped straps mounted on two ends of the thin film layer, and two adjusting rings each movably mounted on a respective one of the straps. The thin film layer is made of soft and tough material, such as e-PTFE, TPE, TPEE, COC or FRP. Each of the pores has a size smaller than that of dust, water molecule, bacterium and virus to isolate and prevent the dust, water molecule, bacterium and virus from entering the thin film layer. When the loop-shaped straps are put on a user's ears, the adjusting rings are moved on the loop-shaped straps to adjust the size of each of the loop-shaped straps so as to fit the user's face.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a mask and, more particularly, to an anti-virus mask.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]A conventional mask comprises a mask body and two loop-shaped straps mounted on two opposite ends of the mask body. When in use, the straps are put on a user's ears, and the mask body is placed on the user's mouth and nose to isolate harmful substances, such as dust, bacteria and the like, from the user's mouth and nose so as to prevent the harmful substances from touching and entering the user's mouth and nose. However, each of the straps has a fixed size so that the size of each of the straps cannot be adjusted to fit that of different users, and the mask body cannot be placed on the user's mouth and nose exactly and closely, thereby decreasing the sealing effect of the mask. In addition, the mask body has a poor breathability and poor permeability so that when the user wears the mask body...
