Abstract

An eye mask-type hydrogen supply device that is freely portable when carried by a user and with which it is possible to supply hydrogen to the areas around both eyes and the eyeballs while warming the eyelids, wherein the eye mask-type hydrogen supply device can be used continuously by replacing a hydrogen gas supply pack.

Claims

1. An eye mask-type hydrogen supply device for supplying hydrogen gas and heat of reaction, which is generated at a time of generating the hydrogen gas, to an area surrounding both eyes of a user, the eye mask-type hydrogen supply device comprising:

an eye mask main body configured to be brought into contact with a portion between eyebrows of the user and with the area surrounding both eyes of the user as an eye mask;

a mounting belt for connecting the eye mask main body to a face of the user;

a hydrogen gas supply pack, in which aluminum hydride powder and reaction water are sealed, for reacting the aluminum hydride powder and the reaction water with each other to generate hydrogen gas and heat of reaction; and

a storage pocket for mounting the hydrogen gas supply pack to the eye mask main body, wherein the hydrogen gas supply pack is replaceable for continuous use.

2. The eye mask-type hydrogen supply device according to claim 1, wherein the hydrogen gas supply pack is provided therein with two aluminum powder bags, in which the aluminum hydride powder is sealed and which are disposed at positions corresponding to both eyes of the user, and a reaction water bag, in which the reaction water is sealed, the aluminum powder bags and the reaction water bag being wrapped in an outer bags, and

an interior of the hydrogen gas supply pack is configured such that the reaction water bag is interposed between the two aluminum powder bags in a thickness direction thereof.

3. The eye mask-type hydrogen supply device according to claim 2, wherein each of the aluminum powder bags and the reaction water bag is made of an aluminum laminate material.

4. The eye mask-type hydrogen supply device according to claim 2, wherein the outer bag is made of a waterproof moisture-permeable material.

5. The eye mask-type hydrogen supply device according to claim 2, wherein non-woven fabric is inserted in each of the aluminum powder bags.

6. The eye mask-type hydrogen supply device according to claim 2, wherein

the mounting belt is provided with a belt adjustment portion, and

the user manipulates the belt adjustment portion in order to adjust a length of the mounting belt in consideration of a circumference of a head of the user.

7. The eye mask-type hydrogen supply device according to claim 2, wherein an interior of the outer bag is filled with nitrogen gas.

8. The eye mask-type hydrogen supply device according to claim 2, wherein a gap between the outer bag and each of the aluminum powder bags is filled with a polymer absorbent.

9. The eye mask-type hydrogen supply device according to claim 1, wherein the hydrogen gas supply pack is provided therein with an aluminum powder bag, in which the aluminum hydride powder is sealed and which is disposed at positions corresponding to both eyes of the user, and a reaction water bag, in which the reaction water is sealed and which is disposed so as to overlap the aluminum powder bag in a thickness direction thereof, and each of a gap between the outer bag and the aluminum powder bag and a gap between the outer bag and the reaction water bag is filled with a polymer absorbent.

10. The eye mask-type hydrogen supply device according to claim 9, wherein the polymer absorbent is formed in a sheet shape, and is interposed in the gap between the outer bag and the aluminum powder bag.
