Description

This invention relates to the fields of daily living goods and medical protective equipment, and more particularly to a bilateral device, a headband device, and a hat for assisting in the wearing of a mask. Wearing a mask is a common practice for maintaining hygiene and an effective protective measure for preventing related diseases. However, the traditional method of attaching masks by looping the straps directly over the ears has clear drawbacks. Prolonged wear of mask straps can cause sustained strain on the ears, leading to discomfort and potentially causing further damage. This is particularly detrimental to the ears of developing infants; such prolonged wear can easily cause anterior ear deformities in the ear cartilage, potentially resulting in "protruding ears." While several alternatives or embodiments have been published to the method of attaching mask straps directly over the ears, they still have some shortcomings and deficiencies during use. For example, there are connectors used to secure the left and right straps of a mask at the back of the head. While such devices can reduce the strain on the ears caused by directly placing the mask straps over them, during use, these connectors can slip off the back of the head, causing the mask to fall down. Furthermore, during use, the mask straps can press against the ears, causing discomfort. Conventional technologies have been developed to prevent ear strain caused by directly attaching masks to the ears. These devices have grooves for attaching the mask's straps, meaning the straps don't directly rest on the ears. However, because the device itself must be worn over the ears during use, it ultimately still places strain on the ears. Conventional technology also includes a mask attachment device. When using one model of this device, the mask's straps do not directly rest on the ears, but the ear hooks at both ends of the stand do, causing strain on the ears. When using another model of this device, ear strain is reduced, but only a connecting belt located at the back of the head is used to connect the left and right stands. During use, this connecting belt can slip from the back of the head, causing the mask to fall down. For example, there are button-type fasteners that are attached to both sides of a hat and used to hook the mask's straps near the ears. While this reduces the strain on the ears caused by directly attaching the mask's straps, when worn, the upper and lower straps on both sides of the mask come into close proximity at a small angle. This creates wrinkles and gaps on both sides of the mask, preventing it from effectively covering the mouth and nose and enhancing protection. Furthermore, these button-type fasteners are designed to be used in conjunction with a hat, which limits their overall use. As described above, some conventional articles or embodiments fail to adequately combine the benefits of eliminating the pressure caused by the ear loops of a mask, enhancing the protective effect of the mask, being easy to operate, and offering diverse usage methods. Therefore, in order to compensate for the shortcomings of conventional technology, it is necessary to research mask-wearing assistance devices, and to solve or mitigate one or more of the above-mentioned problems. In light of the above issues, this invention provides a two-sided device (two devices located on the left and right sides) for assisting mask wearing, a headband device, and a hat. It assists in wearing a mask, eliminates the strain and discomfort on the ears caused by the mask's straps, enhances the protective effect of the mask, is easy to operate, has various uses, and is readily available and manufactured using readily obtainable raw materials. One aspect of the technical solution of this invention provides a two-sided device for assisting in mask application. This two-sided device includes a pair of arch-shaped components having a groove structure. The aforementioned arch-shaped component includes an inner and outer upright member, both of which have arched sides. The bottoms of the inner and outer upright members are connected, forming a groove structure. Furthermore, a row of holes is provided in the upper section of the inner upright member. When wearing the mask, the straps on both sides of the mask are each placed within the groove structure of the aforementioned arch-shaped component. Based on the above perspective and any possible implementation method, another implementation method is further provided. A first projection is provided on the middle section of the outer upright member, and a second projection having a second hole is provided on the middle section of the inner upright member. Based on the above perspectives and any possible implementation methods, another implementation method is further provided. The outer shape of the side surface of the arched component is an irregular shape including at least one of a curved three-center arch, a V-shaped tri
