Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a foldable mask to cover the face of a wearer for using in a masquerade or a party.

DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART

A decorative mask is commonly used in traditional festivals such as Halloween, Christmas or New Years parties, combined with special outfit or costume to bring more amusement into the ceremonials; sometimes it is also used in the performance for its expressive power. A traditional mask usually comprises a designed mask body and an elastic strap which its proximal ends are coupled with both lateral sides of the mask. Since the elastic force of the strap will press the face against the mask continuously, said conventional type of mask is not suitable for long-term using and is easy to slip, exposing the face of the wearer. To solve mentioned defects, the applicant has improved the design of the mask in patented application U.S. Pat. No. 6,505,351 “Hair ring or hair strip with doll mask”, using an elastic hair band to replace traditional elastic strap, the hair band can fix the mask on the face of the wearer more securely; and in U.S. Pat. No. 6,604,975 “Doll head mask” the hair band is connected with the mask by two connecting pieces which give the mask ability to be lift up and down. However the design of the hair band still contains following drawbacks:
1. The main body of the mask is usually designed as one-piece mask and to bring three-dimensional appearance, it is usually unfoldable, causing inconvenience in carrying and restoring the mask. Therefore, to design an easy-to-keep and carry mask with three-dimensional appearance has become the main objective of the present invention.
2. The retraction of the elastic strap of the conventional mask may press the face against the mask causing uncomfortable sensation to the wearer and interfering the sight of the wear. Accordingly, to design a mask reducing uncomfortable sensation and not interfering the vision of the user has become the second object of the present invention.
3. In some festivals such as a masquerade ball or a costume party, the wearer may arrange a special hairstyle to match the outfit or the mask. However, the elastic strap of the mask can ruin the hairstyle of the wearer since it is usually put around the head. Although in both cited references mask has been improved by using the hair band, it could still affect the hairstyle. Therefore, a mask without affecting the hairstyle becomes another objective of the invention.

As shown in above drawings, a foldable mask with temples comprises a mask (1) which consists essentially of two pair-designed partial masks (11) having a carved area (15) on each for exposing the eye of the wearer; a foldable nose pad (13) set between said partial masks (11), placed on the nose of the wearer to support the mask (1); and a pair of pivoting temples (2) which can rotate and adjust the angle, disposed on both lateral side of the mask (1), each of said temple (2) comprises a fixed section and a free section, between the fixed section and the free section are a curved section (21) having no contact with the face of the wearer, providing flexibility to the temple (2), keeping the temple (2) as an outer-arc shape; and an outer-arc holding section (22) connecting with the end of the curved section (21) to fit the head of the wearer; said fixed section is a projection part (26) which contacts with the mask (1), a first saddle portion (24) is set between the curved section (21) and the holding section (22); said free section which connects with the end of the holding section (22) is a second saddle portion (25).
FIG. 7 illustrates the mask (1) and the temple (2) of the first embodiment coupled with each other and worn by a user. The mask (1) covers the face of the user and is fixed by the holding section (22) of the temple (2) which clamps on the area above the ear. Said temple (2) does not contact with the ear. The fixed section of the temple (2) is disposed on both lateral sides of the mask (1), close to the carved area (15) where is near the temple portion of a human head when worn by the user.
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, said nose pad (13) comprises a right and left portion, and an elastic element (12) which provides the folding feature. Any device which possesses expand/retract feature can be selected as the elastic element (12). In this embodiment a torsional spring is selected as said elastic element (12); therefore, when said nose pad (13) coupled with two partial masks (11), the mask (1) may possess expanding/folding feature. As shown in FIG. 2A, an axle bolt (16) passes through said elastic element (12) and axle holders (17) set on two separated nose pads (13) to couple said elastic element (12) with two nose pads (13). The mask (1) constantly maintains in folding position when it is not used. When the mask (1) is expanded and worn by the user, the folding force generated from the nose pad (13) and clamp force generated by the holding section (22) of the temple (2) will hold the mask (1) on the head of the user.
Further, since the mask (1) is constantly stayed in folding position when it is unused, makes it easy to be stored and carried. The nose pad (3) creates a space between the mask (1) and the face, reducing uncomfortable sensation caused when the mask is against the face. The nose pad (13) is made of soft matter such as rubber, silica gel or foamed plastic, said soft matters provide comfortable sensation when wearing the mask (1), prolong the wearing time thereof.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 4A, a surface layer (14) can be applied on inner/outer area of the mask (1). Said surface layer (14) can be selected from a cloth surface, a velvet surface or a plastic surface to soften the contact of the skin with the mask (1) when it was disposed inside. When it is disposed on the outer side (not shown), the surface layer (14) can be painted with variable colors or coupled with adornment, making the mask more creative.
FIG. 6 showing the mask (1) worn by a user, unlike conventional temple of an eyewear which is placed over the ears and usually inelastic, the elastic curved section (21) allows the temple (2) to expand, and the retracting force makes the holding section (22) fits onto the head perfectly and fixes the mask (1) securely. The position of the curved section (21) is disposed away from the face, in addition to cause no compression to the face.
As shown in FIGS. 3-5, the temple (2) is provided with adjusting feature allowing the mask (1) to fit different head shape of the user by rotating the temple (2) to an adequate angle. To provide said adjusting feature to the present invention, a gasket (3) is disposed between the mask (1) and the temple (2), said gasket (3) can be engaged with the mask (1) by integrated moulding or adhesive bonding. If a surface layer (14) is applied, the gasket (3) can only be coupled with the mask (1) by adhesive binding and to couple the gasket (3) with the surface layer, a recess (32) is carved additionally on the surface of gasket (3) which contacts with the surface layer (14) for applying the adhesive (33). Pluralities of locating holes (31) are set around the circumference of the side of the gasket (3) which couples with the projection part (26) of the temple (2). Pluralities of locating elements (211) are set on the projection part (26) to correspond with said locating holes (31). Therefore, the temple (2) can be rotated and adjusted by said locating holes (31) and locating element (211), it is to believe that the present invention is being more ergonomic.
Said locating holes (31) can be manufactured as a concave semi-sphere or a concave strip, it can also be formed as a convex semi-sphere or a convex stripe. Said locating elements (211) must be a corresponding shape of said locating holes (31); therefore, said locating elements (211) are needed to be formed as a convex semi-sphere or a convex stripe, it can also be carved as a concave semi-sphere or a concave strip to match with said locating holes (31). As shown in FIG. 5, when a locating element (211) is not in a locating hole (31), the temple (2) is free to be adjusted; on the contrary, when a locating element (211) is coupled with a locating hole (31), the movement of the temple (2) is limited and the position is fixed. Therefore, when more locating holes (31) are set on the gasket (3), the suitable angle is more accurate. By adjusting the temple (2), a rotating force which is stronger than the fixing force will be applied to make the temple (2) rotate until the suitable angle is reached.
As shown in FIG. 7, said mask (1) may cover the face of the wearer except two carved areas (15) for eyes exposure; unlike the face shield for industrial safety which is usually transparent and no holes are disposed, the present invention is a non-transparent mask with carved areas (15). With adjusting ability as mentioned above, two carved areas (15) will exposing the user's eyes more precisely which is an advantage comparing with a conventional decorative mask.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, a first slip stopper (23) is disposed on the second saddle portion (25) of the said temple (2). During a masquerade or a festival, constantly movement increases the possibility that the mask (1) may slip. Therefore, said first slip stopper (23) possesses feature to generate friction with the scalp and hair, maintaining the position of the temple (2) fixed and it won't produce any discomfort or affect the hair style. Said first slip stopper (23) is preferable made of rubber or silica gel.
Furthermore, a plurality of second slip stoppers (221) may be disposed on the inner wall of the temple (2), closing said first slip stopper (23) to generate extra friction with the finger when a user is holding said mask (1), avoiding damage to the mask (1) by unintentional falling.
