Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2016220862
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To close a mouth during sleep and mask use time, for preventing onset of various diseases, and facilitate temporary mouth breathing or conversation.SOLUTION: A mouth closing tape is configured so that: an adhesive mass is adhered thereto; an O-shape is overlapped to a center of a lateral X-shape; and an opening part (6) is formed on a center part. When a user performs temporary mouth breathing such as yawn, or converses, in a state in which X-shape end parts (4) obliquely projecting, and O-shape vertical parts (5) are fixed, the tape moves vertically, similar to a parallel link mechanism which is vertically lifted up and down, so that a user can move his/her lips. When a user releases tension from his/her mouth, a mouth is closed by shrinkage of a tape material. In addition, even when a mouth of a user is fully opened and a load equal to or higher than limitation level is applied to the tape material, the tape snaps apart and a shape is changed, so that the tape is not peeled. The tape is connected to inside of a mask having flexibility, for using as a mouth closing mask.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
