The present invention relates to a mask provided with a sound transmitting structure, which may transmit the spoken sound to the outside of the mask without removing the same.
There are many reasons for wearing a mask. The mask may prevent foreign materials from entering the human body via the mouth and nose and protect the human body from the harm caused by air pollutions, germs and allergens.
In resent years, due to the mutation of influenza viruses, the immunity of the public to influenza viruses has decreased. If people with weak immunity suffer from flu, it may result in serious illness and even death. Wearing a mask may hinder external and internal spraying spittle, thereby reducing the transmission of diseases such as flu. Therefore, it is one of the methods for protecting oneself from being infected by diseases when taking the public transportation or going to crowded places such as a hospital. In a hospital, in order to avoid the cross infection, it is imperative for doctors, nurses, patients, and family members of patients to wear a mask for protecting themselves as well as others.
With the industrial progress, industrial activities such as motor vehicles burning fossil fuels and power plants generating electricity all will produce particulate matters such as aerosol particles, atmospheric particulate matters, aerosols, and hazes, making the air pollution problem increasingly serious. These particulate matters may be inhaled into the respiratory system, the blood system and even the nervous system and are considered to be associated with diseases such as asthma and lung cancer, influencing physical health greatly. To avoid inhaling noxious gases, hazes or other hazardous matters. It is necessary for motorcyclists, pedestrians and traffic polices to wear a mask. Wearing a mask may filtrate particulate matters such as aerosol particles and prevent the same from entering the human body.
The pollinosis is an anaphylaxis caused by pollen as the allergen, which mainly brings out the anaphylaxis of eyes, nose, respiratory tract, digestive tract, skin, and the like. People suffering from serious allergic asthma may even die from suffocation. In pollen season, most people with the allergic constitution will protect themselves by wearing a mask.
Now, it is the times of cellphone popularization. Almost every people has one for work as well as the interactions with family members and friends, and may use the cellphone for communication whenever and wherever possible. However, it is not uncommon that one needs to use the cellphone while in an environment that needs to wear a mask.
The basic function of the mask is stopping the air pollutants, PM 2.5, pollen, dusts and the like in the environment outside the mask while allowing the air to enter the mask for the breath of the user. In order to realize such a function, the mask needs a stratified structure for enabling stopping foreign materials, each stratified structure provided with a plurality of small holes for enabling the inflow and outflow of the air. The mask may filtrate aerosol particles, germs, viruses and pollen as a protective screen for the human body, but the multilayer and porosity of the structural feature of the mask may absorb partial sound frequency like the sound-absorbing cotton. Therefore, when one speaks, answers a phone especially, with a mask, there are only two situations: (1) Removing the mask for talking on the phone but giving up the protective function of the mask; (2) talking on the phone with the mask but partial sound frequency is absorbed by the mask so that the sound can not be clearly and completely transmitted to the phone, making the talk content heard by the other people unclearly.
The inventor has suffered from this contradiction for a long time. Therefore, an important topic that the present invention wants to solve herein is how to design a mask which may clearly transmit the spoken sound without influencing the protective function thereof such that in the case of wearing a mask, the wearer may make himself heard clearly while doing the action of talking on a phone.
The present invention is designed to provide a mask with a sound-transmitting structure. The mask comprises a mask body and a sound-transmitting structure, wherein the mask body is provided with the sound-transmitting hole, the sound-transmitting structure comprises the sound film and the sound inside the mask may be clearly transmitted to the outside of the mask through the sound-transmitting hole and the sound-transmitting structure.
To realize the above-mentioned object of the present invention, the mask body is a single-layer or multi-layers structure.
To realize the above-mentioned object of the present invention, the sound-transmitting structure may be disposed outside the mask body, inside the mask body or between the inner layer and the outer layer of the mask body.
To realize the above-mentioned object of the present invention, the number of the sound-transmitting structure is one or more.
To realize the above-mentioned object of the present invention, the sound-transmitting structure may be fixed on the mask body by sealing.
To realize the above-mentioned object of the present invention, the sound-transmitting structure may be stuck to the mask body by gum.
To realize the above-mentioned object of the present invention, the sound-transmitting structure may be clamped to the mask body by a bracket.
To realize the above-mentioned object of the present invention, the materials of the sound film comprises paper, tiffany, silk, aluminum, titanium, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalene (PEN), polyetherimide (PEI), polyurethane (PU), polyaryletherketone (PEEK), thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU), and the high polymer material.
To realize the above-mentioned object of the present invention, the number of the sound-transmitting hole is one or more.
To realize the above-mentioned object of the present invention, the mask comprises the lint face mask, the N95 mask, the surgical mask, the activated carbon mask, and the paper mask.
