鼻から顔の側面にかけての密着性が秀逸で、甘い部分があるとすればあごの所くらいだ。そしてマスク内部の口の前に少し空間があるため呼吸の圧迫感が少ない。口と鼻の前面部はシートが3層に重なる構造で、2層となる側面も折り返しで4層が確保され、シールド効果は市販の不織布マスクに見劣りすることはなさそうだ。1枚のシートからこれほどの機能性を生み出す設計力には脱帽する。
用意する不織布は42cm x 24cm(僕の場合)、これは市販の不織布シートを貼り合わせて必要なサイズにカットする。サイズは自分に合うよう微調整すると良い。そして折り紙のスタートだ。作り方はURLリンクの動画を参照して欲しい。
本家の指定通りキッチンペーパーと輪ゴム2個があればマスクが作れるところも、緊急時等には有効な利点だろう。
I showed a pattern paper for home-made mask last time, but I did not make one myself. Now, I am deeply indulged in making masks. I just happened to encounter with a video in the net which looked so simple, so I tried it. The finished shape was unexpectedly beautiful and I guess I was enchanted.This "Origami Mask" is created by professor Anna Myczkowska-Szczerska who works in the Industrial Forms Department at the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts in the city of Krakow, Poland.
The sealing effect from the nose to the profile is excellent and the only the chin area would be the loose section. Since it provides some space inside the mask in front, the breathing is least resistive. The front area secures 3 layers while the sides toward ears consist of 2 layers but the folding results in 4 layers, and it does not look inferior to generally available products in the market. It is amazing design ability to create such a class of functionality from a sheet of kitchen paper!
In my case, I prepared a sheet in 42 x 24cm size with nonfabricated material to make the mask more dependable. You can find the right size to fit for yourself. Follow the procedures in the attached link below:
