The present invention relates to a reusable cloth mask, and in particular, to an antibacterial cloth mask that includes at least one layer of copper ion cloth and one layer of zinc oxide antibacterial cloth, has water resistance through an inner layer of the copper ion cloth and a function of moisture removal through a surface layer, and may keep dry and comfortable.
As the air pollution problem is increasingly serious, wearing a mask out, especially for people riding motorcycles, is indispensable. The main reason is that wearing a mask can isolate dust, bacteria, oil fume, and bad odors, droplets and the like in the air, to maintain good respiratory quality and maintain health of the respiratory tracts and the lungs. Especially for civil construction workers, on-site workers working in factory manufacturing, medical staff and the like, to prevent inhalation of dust, polluted harmful substances, pathogens and allergens in the air, wearing a mask has become a necessary action. In addition, COVID-19 is rampantly spreading all over the world currently, and is transmitted through droplets in the air.
However, a mask being worn, especially a cloth mask covers the mouth, the nose and the chin, and left and right sides of the mask stick to the cheeks. Although the mask can filter out pollutants in the air to prevent the pollutants from entering the body, if the mask has been worn for a long time, problems of sultriness and sweating due to hot carbon dioxide gas exhaled by the human body and hot weather and high temperature will be presented. In addition, wearing the mask to talk to people will cause saliva in the mouth and sweat to adhere with the breath on an inner side of the mask. With the increase in the frequency and time of use, the mask will produce moist and sweat odor and breed bacterial pathogens.
In view of this, the inventor of the present invention makes continuous efforts to research and improve experiments based on years of experience in related products, and finally develops a cloth mask with antibacterial and moisture removal effects.
A main objective of the present invention is to provide a mask made by sewing a piece of copper ion cloth, a piece of zinc oxide antibacterial cloth and a cool cloth layer in contact with skin. An inner layer of the copper ion cloth may resist water, and a surface layer may remove moisture, so that a water-resistant surface in contact with skin may not damp after receiving a slight pressure to absorb sweat. Sweat is absorbed by a moisture-removing surface on a surface layer through the water-resistant surface and the moisture is removed, to enable the mask to keep dry. In addition, the zinc oxide antibacterial cloth may block ultraviolet light and inhibit growth of bacteria, achieving good antibacterial and bacteriostatic functions.

Therefore, the present invention has at least the following advantages.
In the present invention, a first yarn of the copper ion cloth has a hydrophobicity and a moisture permeability to form a water-resistant surface to be exposed at an inner layer of a piece of copper ion cloth, and a second yarn has a moisture-removing property to form an antibacterial and moisture-removing surface to be exposed together with a copper yarn on a surface of the copper ion cloth.

With regard to the detailed content and technical descriptions of the present invention, embodiments are now used for further description, but it should be understood that the embodiments are only used for illustrative purposes, and should not be interpreted as limitations on implementation of the present invention.

The first yarn 11 accounts for a coverage rate of 85% to 95% of the inner layer of the copper ion cloth 10; the second yarn 12 accounts for a coverage rate of 65% to 70% of the surface layer of the copper ion cloth 10; and the copper yarn 13 accounts for a coverage rate of 20% to 25% of the surface layer of the copper ion cloth 10. A main material of the first yarn 11 is one of polyamide fiber, polyester fiber and a polypropylene polymer, the inner layer of the copper ion cloth 10 with a larger coverage rate of the first yarn 11 can form the water-resistant surface 14, thereby achieving a water-repellent effect. When a liquid such as sweat just drips onto the water-resistant surface 14, the liquid will not immediately penetrate into the copper ion cloth 10, but will form a drop of water 100 on the water-resistant surface 14. The drop of water 100 may slowly penetrate into the copper ion cloth 10 only when a contact pressure is applied through an external force or the drop of water 100 has stayed for a long time, and moisture is removed through the antibacterial and moisture-removing surface 15.
A material of the second yarn 12 is one of artificial fiber and natural fiber, for example, rayon, Tencel, cotton, linen, natural silk and other fiber materials with good breathability and moisture-removing property. A copper ion content in the copper yarn 13 is 5% to 6%, where before performing fiber drawing, a raw material is immersed in a copper ion solution, to make the raw material contain copper ions, and then the drawing is performed. As a result, the drawn yarn may naturally contain the copper ions. The copper ion has analgesic, antipyretic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and a trace amount of copper ions can attack cell membranes, nucleic acids, enzymes of bacteria, and destroy cell proteins, causing the bacteria to die and lose the ability to divide and proliferate, so that the copper ion has a good antibacterial property and can inhibit proliferation of the bacteria and fungi to prevent bad smells and eliminate unpleasant odors.
In addition, the surface layer of the copper ion cloth 10 with a larger coverage rate of the second yarn 12 and the copper yarn 13 can form an antibacterial and moisture-removing surface 15. When the liquid such as the sweat penetrates into the antibacterial and moisture-removing surface 15 from the water-resistant surface 14, the antibacterial and moisture-removing surface 15 may present a water stain 110, as shown in
During implementation, the copper ion cloth 10 can be immersed in a zinc oxide solution with a concentration of 5% to 6%, to make the first yarn 11 and the second yarn 12 contain a zinc oxide ingredient. Because the zinc oxide has good stability, elasticity of the fiber is high, and the zinc oxide has a very strong function of absorbing ultraviolet rays and can block ultraviolet light. The zinc oxide also has a very good antibacterial mechanism and has good antibacterial and deodorant effects.
The zinc oxide antibacterial cloth 20 is made of a material selected from TC cloth (a blend of Tetoron and cotton) and is immersed in the zinc oxide solution with a concentration of 5% to 6%, to make the zinc oxide antibacterial cloth 20 contain the zinc oxide ingredient. The zinc oxide itself is non-toxic and is non-irritating to the skin, and has good thermal stability to make the fiber have high elasticity, so that the zinc oxide has a very strong function of absorbing ultraviolet rays and can block ultraviolet light, and is not easy to breed pathogenic bacteria and prevents droplets and large-particle dust from passing through, achieving the antibacterial and deodorant effects.
The cool cloth layer 30 may be selected from the nylon fiber, the nylon yarn and the elastic fiber added with mineral powder and jade powder materials and mixed with a textile material with good water absorption during a spinning process, so that the cool cloth layer 30 has good effects of moisture absorption, perspiration elimination and breathability, and may achieve comfortable and non-sticky effects.
