Abstract

An improved structure of a multifunctional eye mask comprising an elastic tightening strap, a main body, a heat healing device and a controller, characterized in that the elastic tightening strap is used to tie the mask to the eyes of user, the front section of the belt is mounted with the main body and the heat healing device, and the main body includes an air pump, an air releasing valve, a tube, a pair of vibration motors, a buzzer, a wiring board, and the exterior of the main body is provided with wires linked to the controller, the heat healing device consists of a front and a rear protective plate formed into a mask-like structure containing an air sac, a heat-emitting element, an air inlet for the air sac and the heat-emitting element are connected to the main body, the controller is provided with a circuit device with controlling switches and adjusting knobs on the surface thereof, thereby when in use, by means of the circuit device, the air sac and the heat emitting element expand and contract and emit heat respectively, and the sequence of action of the air sac and the heat emitting element are preset in the controller such that the eyes are provided with an intermittent massage, heat healing treatment and vibrating massage.

Claims

1. A structure of a multifunctional eye mask comprising an elastic tightening strap, a main body, a heat healing device and a controller, wherein the elastic tightening strap is used to tie the mask to the eyes of user, a section of the strap is mounted with the main body and the heat healing device, and the main body includes an air pump, an air releasing valve, a tube, a pair of vibration motors, a buzzer, a wiring board, and the exterior of the main body is provided with wires linked to the controller, the heat healing device consists of a front and a rear protective plates formed into a mask structure containing an air sac, a heat-emitting element, an air inlet for the air sac and the heat-emitting element are connected to the main body, the controller is provided with a circuit device with controlling switches and adjusting knobs on the surface of the controller, thereby when in use, by means of the circuit device, the air sac expands and contracts and the heat emitting element emits heats, and the air sac and the heat emitting element are preset in the controller such that the eyes are provided with an intermittent massage, heat healing treatment and vibrating massage.

2. A structure of a multifunctional eye mask as set forth in claim 1, wherein the elastic tightening strap is provided with an retractable section, and a fastener at both ends of the strap, and the tightening strap is provided with a fixing plate, wherein the main body consists of a front cover, a protruded edge provided to front and rear covers to mount with the fixing plate such that the surface of the rear plate is mounted at the back of the fixing plate.

3. A structure of a multifunctional eye mask as set forth in claim 1, wherein the heat emitting element is located at an heat insulation liner by an adhesive plate, and the lateral sides of the heat insulation liner is mounted to the front and rear protective plate.

4. A structure of a multifunctional eye mask as set forth in claim 1, wherein an external edge and surface of the rear protective plate adjacent to the eyes is provided with a plurality of infra red protrusions and magnetic stones.

5. A structure of a multifunctional eye mask as set forth in claim 1, wherein a liner is provided in between the main body and the heat healing device, and the lateral sides of the liner and the retractable section of the tightening strap are connected.
