1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an anti-mold film assembly, and more particularly to an anti-mold film assembly having an enhanced antibiotic effect.
2. Description of Related Art
A conventional anti-mold film has been widely applied to various locations or containers to prevent mold from growing on products, such as electronics products, precision machinery, clothing, furniture, paper, lenses or leather products. The anti-mold film is thin and is usually made of an absorptive material, such as paper or non-woven fabrics.
However, an antibiotic effect of the conventional anti-mold film is still insufficient and needs improvement.
To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention tends to provide an anti-mold film assembly to mitigate the aforementioned problems.
The main objective of the invention is to provide an anti-mold film assembly having an enhanced antibiotic effect.
An anti-mold film assembly has an absorptive sheet, a metallic coating and two first films. The absorptive sheet absorbs vaporizable ingredients and has a first side and a second side opposite to the first side of the absorptive sheet. The metallic coating is connected with the first side of the absorptive sheet and has a surface opposite to the absorptive sheet. The first films are ventilative and are respectively connected with the second side of the absorptive sheet and the surface of the metallic coating. Because the metallic coating is capable of drawing sulfhydryl groups of enzyme proteins contained in bacteria and killing the bacteria, the antibiotic effect of the anti-mold film assembly is greatly enhanced.
Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
With reference to
The absorptive sheet 10 has a first side and a second side opposite to the first side of the absorptive sheet 10. The absorptive sheet 10 is made of an absorptive material, such as paper, cloth, foam cotton, and non-woven fabrics. The absorptive sheet 10 absorbs vaporizable ingredients comprising 45˜55% mustard oil, 20˜25% garlic oil, 15˜25% grape seed oil, and 10˜20% chili oil. The absorptive sheet 10 may be soaked in the ingredients of liquid or gas state to absorb the ingredients. The absorptive sheet 10 may be printed with trademarks, instructions, patterns or signs.
The metallic coating 20 is connected with the first side of the absorptive sheet 10 and has a surface opposite to the absorptive sheet 10. The metallic coating 20 is made of an antibiotic metal, such as silver, copper or nanometer-silver. The metallic coating 20 is capable of drawing sulfhydryl groups of enzyme proteins contained in bacteria. Accordingly, the enzyme proteins are inactive and the bacteria can be killed. Preferably, the metallic coating 20 is made of nanometer-silver by a process of vapor or sputtering deposition. Because silver of the metallic coating 20 has a nanometer scale, an antibiotic ability of the metallic coating 20 is optimized.
The first films 30 are ventilative and are respectively connected with the second side of the absorptive sheet 10 and the surface of the metallic coating 20. Preferably, each first film 30 is made of OPP (Oriented Polypropylene). Because each first film 30 is ventilative, the ingredients of the absorptive sheet 10 can penetrate the first films 30 slowly. The first films 30 may be printed with trademarks, instructions, patterns or signs.
The anti-mold film assembly in accordance with the present invention can be placed in various locations or containers, such as a package, a box, a bag or a closet.
With reference to
Each first film 30A has an outer surface opposite to the absorptive sheet 10A or the metallic coating 20A. The second embodiment of the anti-mold film assembly further has two second films 40A the same as the first films 30A and respectively connected with the outer surfaces of the first films 30A. Because each first film 30A and a corresponding second film 40A are formed as a two-layer structure, the first films 30A and the second films 40A can postpone the release of the ingredients of the absorptive sheet 10A. Accordingly, the lifespan of the anti-mold film assembly is prolonged.
With reference to
From the above description, it is noted that the present invention has the following advantages:
1. Excellent antibiotic effect:
Because the metallic coating 20 is capable of drawing sulfhydryl groups of enzyme proteins contained in bacteria and killing the bacteria, the antibiotic effect of the anti-mold film assembly is greatly enhanced.
2. Prolonged lifespan:
The first films 30A and the second films 40A are capable of postponing the vaporization of the ingredients of the absorptive sheet 10A, so the lifespan of the anti-mold film assembly is prolonged.
3. Versatile print:
The absorptive sheet 10,10A, the first films 30,30A,30B and the second films 40A can be printed with trademarks, instructions, patterns or signs to meet different manufacturer's requirements.
4. Environment-friendly ingredients:
The ingredients are extracted from natural plants, so the ingredients can be decomposed, are environment-friendly and not harmful to humans.
Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
