Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an extremely simple eye mask that does not require any strings to hang around the ears and can be worn by the elastic force of the light-shielding plate without causing discomfort.

[Prior Art] Conventional eye masks used while sleeping are made of cloth, and strings attached to both ends are hung over the ears to prevent them from slipping off the eyes.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] As mentioned above, conventional eye masks are made of cloth and need to be attached to the ears with strings, which causes discomfort during sleep.

In addition, the part that covers the eyes is made of cloth and has no regularity, so it easily comes into contact with the eyes, requiring the use of high-quality, soft cloth, and there are other problems, such as the need for sewing, which increases costs. Ta.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned problems and provide an eye mask that is inexpensive, easy to use, and causes less discomfort when worn.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an eye mask with a mask part 2 that covers the eyes, a nose pad part 3 that connects the mask part 2, and the mask part 2. A light shielding plate 1 comprising a nose pad part 3 and a locking part 4 extending from the eye area to the side of the face extending on the opposite side, and the light shielding plate 1 is made of a foamed plastic or foamed rubber plate. , the light shielding plate 1 is shaped so that it is rolled up from the locking portions 4 at both ends toward the inward side when worn on the face so as to face each other.

[Function] Since the foam plate of the eye mask configured in this way has elasticity, the locking parts 4 at both ends of the light shielding plate 1, which is shaped so as to be rolled up, are pushed open and the sides of the face are covered. When the eye mask is worn so as to be pinched, the locking part 4 is pressed against the face from the side due to its repulsion elasticity, and the eye mask is fixed, and when it is removed, it is only necessary to directly hold the light shielding plate 1 and pull it out.

In addition, since the light shielding plate 1 is made of a foamed plastic board or a foamed rubber board, it feels soft against the face, and unlike conventional eye masks, the strings are not tied around the ears, so there is no discomfort.

[Example] Examples of the eye mask according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a light-shielding plate forming an eye mask, which is made of a foam board such as a foam plastic board or a foam rubber board.

The light shielding plate 1 includes a pair of mask parts 2 that cover the eyes of the face, a nose pad 3 that connects the mask parts 2, and a nose pad 3 that extends from the eye part of the mask part 2 to the side opposite to the nose pad 3. It consists of locking parts 4 that extend to the sides of the face, and from the locking parts 4 at both ends toward the side that becomes inward when the light shielding plate 1 is attached to the face, that is, the face side. It is shaped so that it wraps around in opposite directions.

The light shielding plate 1 may be made of a single-layer foam board as shown in FIG. 2, or the outer peripheral surface of the light shielding plate 1 may be covered with decorative fabric 5 as shown in FIG. , the light shielding plate 1 is made of multilayered foam plates 1a and 1b to have uniform rebound resilience, and
Layer 1 with cosmetic properties and good texture on the front and back sides
There are some examples called a′.

In addition, there are various methods for shaping the light shielding plate 1 so as to wrap it around from both ends. FIG. It is then thermally formed and bent toward the roll 6 side where the circumferential speed is faster.

Also, in FIG. 6, by heating and pressing the light shielding plate 1 from one side with a hot press P as shown in a, the bubbles 7 on the heated side of the light shielding plate 1 as shown in b are removed from inside the bubbles 7. The air in the bubble 7 is heated and expands, and as the bubble 7 expands, the internal pressure of the bubble increases, and some of the air inside the bubble 7 escapes from the bubble wall, and is then cooled, causing it to expand as shown in c. The air remaining in the bubbles 7 is cooled and contracts, causing the bubbles 7 to contract. However, the contracted cell walls prevent the absorption of air from the outside, so the light shielding plate 1 has the heated side facing away from the other side. It shrinks compared to , and deforms into a state where it is rolled up from the end side with the heating side inward.

Figure 7 shows that high-temperature air is blown from one side of the light shielding plate 1 (in the direction of the arrow) and instantaneously heated, a skin layer 1' is formed on the surface layer and the surface layer contracts, and the heated side This allows the shape to be retained in a warped state.

FIG. 8 shows a pair of forming rolls 8, in which a two-layer or more than two-layer foam board is formed, with one roll 8 rotating quickly.
8', and is bonded by heat bonding or adhesive in a distorted state toward one roll 8 having a faster circumferential speed, and the shape of the light shielding plate 1 is maintained by solidifying the bonded portion.

Other materials such as fabrics that are difficult to shrink and deform are bonded to the surface of the light shielding plate 1 while warping the light shielding plate 1 using a pair of rolls having different circumferential speeds as described above, and the shape is retained by curing the adhesive at the bonded portion. In other cases, the light shielding plate 1, which is a single-layer or multilayer foam plate, is heated while being bent to deform its structure and retain its shape.

[Effect] The eye mask configured as described above has the locking parts at both ends pushed open in the opposite direction to the winding direction.
When the eye mask is adhered so as to sandwich the sides of the face with the locking portions, the elasticity of the foam board 1 causes the locking portions to come into pressure contact with the face so as to sandwich them, and the eye mask is fixed.

Therefore, since it is not fixed by hanging a string around the ear like conventional ones, it is not cumbersome and does not cause any discomfort.

In addition, as mentioned above, there is no string, making it convenient to store and carry, and when removed, it is easy to hang on your arm or the armrest of a chair.

Since the light shielding plate is made of a resilient foam board, it hits the face well and does not make a rough or rattling sound, which does not disturb a good night's sleep.

Further, there is no need for sewing, and only simple punching is required, and since the material is small, the cost is extremely low, and since it is punched, it can be shaped freely.

It also has other features such as being able to be colored and patterned freely.
