Definitions
- the invention relates to head protection equipment comprising a respiratory mask, a harness allowing rapid fitting on the face and means for protecting the eyes against smoke.
- a transparent visor ventilated internally from a respiratory regulator.
- This visor can be permanently attached to the mask, as in the equipment marketed under the brand name "MAGIC" by the applicant (US model patent Des. 304,384) or detachable to facilitate storage (US-A-5,630,412 ). In both cases, breathing gas supply ports under pressure from the regulator to the visor are provided to sweep the visor and avoid fogging.
- Visor equipment of this kind intended for the US Air Force, has been marketed from 1976 by the company Scott Aviation, under the reference MBU-2 / P They include an oro-nasal mask welded to a flexible visor in transparent polyurethane, provided with a waterproof support seal on the face. Due to the presence of a face seal, folding the equipment to store it in a box is delicate and inconvenient, long-term storage can damage the seal.
- the present invention aims in particular to provide head protection equipment, enveloping the outlet of the respiratory tract and the eyes, ensuring comfort equivalent to that of existing equipment, easily stored and ensuring sufficient protection against smoke and gas irritating the eyes. .
- head protection equipment enveloping the outlet of the respiratory tract and the eyes, ensuring comfort equivalent to that of existing equipment, easily stored and ensuring sufficient protection against smoke and gas irritating the eyes.
- it uses the fact that a perfect seal is not necessary, since the ventilation due to the overpressure of the respiratory gas is sufficient to expel smoke and irritating gases.
- the invention consequently proposes an equipment of the kind defined above, characterized by a flexible envelope covering the head, fixed in leaktight manner to a sheath limiting the elongation of the single strap or of the upper strap of the harness and fixed mask, said envelope being transparent at least in a part which is located in front of the eyes when the equipment is in place on the head.
- Such a constitution makes it possible not to equip the envelope of the facial seal with a visor which is essential in prior equipment, a joint whose flexibility is insufficient to allow convenient correct folding of the equipment for storage.
- the sealing of the connection between the envelope on the one hand, the mask and the strap on the other hand can be made complete, there is generally a gap between the face and the envelope in a border area, behind the seal of tightness of the mask
- this gap can be made very small by an appropriate arrangement of the straps, as will be seen below.
- the escape to the environment of pressurized breathing gas coming from the regulator via the mask is enough to expel outwards the irritating fumes or gases which would tend to penetrate towards the eyes
- the sealed or substantially sealed connection between the envelope and the extensible strap can be carried out by winding the edge of the envelope on the inextensible external sheath commonly provided to limit the elongation of the strap
- the connection between the envelope and the inextensible sheath the strap can in particular be made by sewing or gluing
- the edge of the envelope will be long enough not to interfere with the lengthening of the strap for the installation of the equipment. This edge will crease when deflating the strap.
- the contraction of the strap during deflation occurs mainly in the rear part, therefore without causing any risk of folds affecting the visor. It will often be advantageous to give the part of the envelope close to the mask an increased stiffness relative to the rear part of the envelope to avoid the formation of folds in the front part.
- the envelope is not limited to a simple cap. It extends downward from the single strap or the top strap to provide additional protection.
- the tubular part of the envelope below the upper strap may be free relative to the lower strap or fixed to its sheath.
- it is sufficient for the envelope to pass outside the lower strap so that the latter, when it inflates, deploys the lower part and facilitates the positioning of the equipment on the head.
- protection as complete as possible it is advantageous to place the lower part of the envelope inside the lower strap.
- the envelope can have various constitutions, depending in particular on the user for whom the equipment is intended and on the optical qualities required for the transparent part.
- the envelope is in one piece made of a transparent material, such as polyurethane; a portion of which constitutes a visor. To avoid the formation of folds in the visor zone, this zone can be thickened so as to be less flexible than the rest.
- a transparent material such as polyurethane
- the visor can be in one piece or made of portholes separated by a thinner part facilitating folding for storage.
- the envelope has the advantage of being particularly simple and of providing a very wide field of vision.
- the optical qualities that can be obtained are generally insufficient for a pilot.
- this solution can be adopted for the crew members of civil or military planes, for which a slight reduction in the precision of the vision is tolerable, as well as for uses on the ground.
- the envelope has a composite structure.
- the non-transparent part is made of a flexible, waterproof or very little permeable fabric, preferably non-flammable and resistant to high temperatures. We can in particular use the fabric sold under the NOMEX brand, coated to increase its impermeability to contaminants.
- the transparent part is constituted by a flexible visor in one piece or in two portholes, in polyurethane or in another material which can be either rigid when a high optical quality is necessary, or slightly flexible, fixed in both cases so fabric tight.
- the envelope constitutes a cap protecting the scalp against thermal effects and possibly also protecting the neck and shoulders when the envelope has a lower part extending below the upper strap.
- the usual box for storing the head equipment is replaced by a flexible bag which can be designed to receive both a pneumatic harness mask with quick installation and a mask comprising a smoke protection envelope.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the external appearance of an example of protective equipment according to the invention, in place on the head;
- FIG. 2 is an elevational diagram of the equipment of Figure 1;
- FIG. 3 is a schematic view in horizontal section on a large scale showing the junctions between the components of the equipment of Figure 1 and their support on the head;
- FIG. 4 is an elevational view showing another embodiment
- FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a sectional storage bag and equipment in place in the bag, the annular element being deflated.
- the respiratory rescue equipment shown in FIG. 1 in the state it is in when the harness is placed on the head can be viewed as comprising a mask 10 and a harness 11.
- the mask shown has an oro face cover -nasal provided at the back with a seal with the face, which can be constituted by a thin internal fold.
- the face cover is fixed to a demand regulator 13 and to a rigid connection block 12.
- connection block is provided with a connection connector with a flexible pipe 17 intended to be connected to a source of pressurized respiratory gas (oxygen in general)
- the harness shown comprises two straps 16a and 16b each consisting of an internal tube made of a material allowing the tube to lengthen, contained in a substantially inextensible sheath limiting the elongation of the tube
- the regulator 13 will be with or without dilution by air drawn into the cabin, with the possibility of overpressure and supply of undiluted respiratory gas in the event of decompression at high altitude and / or presence of smoke
- the regulator is connected to the supply line 17 by the connection block 12.
- the block carries means with manual control of inflation of the straps 16, constituted for example by a tap intended to be actuated by manual pinching of two ears 18 carried by the connection block 12 and one of which is tiltable
- the tap is made so as to put an internal volume of the connection block 12 and the straps 16 into communication with the atmosphere when it is free, which then allows the straps to retract and apply the mask against the face.
- the tap When the tap is actuated, it admits, on the contrary, gas under pressure coming from the supply line 17 into the interior volume, which causes a lengthening of the straps sufficient to allow rapid fitting.
- the regulator can carry an aneroid capsule constituting an altimetric detector and automatically putting the straps in connection with the atmosphere to cause maximum tightening in the event of ambient depressurization
- the equipment also comprises an envelope 30 constituting a cap, of transparent and flexible material, such as polyurethane, polyethylene or KAPTON, the edge of which passes below the upper strap 16a is folded around it and is tightly connected to the sheath limiting the extension of the strap. Notches formed in the edge deliver passage to the flexible bands 32 connecting from place to place the two straps.
- a cap of transparent and flexible material, such as polyurethane, polyethylene or KAPTON
- connection with the mask can be ensured by simple bonding of a folded side band 38 of the envelope which tends to retain the part of the cap which constitutes a visor in a position sufficiently spaced from the face, this part forming a visor and the connection zone with the glued strip can be preformed and have a thickness greater than that of the rest of the envelope so that the visor takes a well-defined shape when the equipment is in place on the head.
- the interior of the visor is ventilated by supplying air coming from the regulator through passages not shown, which may be similar to those of the MAGIC mask described in US patent Des. 304,384 or US Patent 5,630,412.
- this gap can be of very small cross section if the straps are connected to the mask at the front thereof, as indicated in FIG. 1. It can be closed by a flexible tongue fixed to the mask or a flap. The pressurized breathing gas coming from inside the envelope and escaping towards the outside prevents the entry of polluting gas coming from the environment.
- the casing 30 extends downwards beyond the straps. It goes under the two straps and it is glued at least to the upper strap. By also sticking it to the lower strap, the latter forces the lower part to open out when it inflates, which facilitates placement on the head.
- the equipment according to the embodiment shown in Figure 5 differs from that of Figure 1 in that the envelope has a composite structure
- Most of the envelope 30 and in particular that which is fixed to the sheath of the upper strap 16a is made of a fabric or a film of a material which can be opaque, flexible, sealable to the sheath of the strap and advantageously having a high resistance to heat.
- NOMEX of which are frequently formed the sheaths of the straps
- the envelope In front of the eyes, the envelope has a transparent part 41 constituting a porthole in one or two parts sufficiently flexible to allow storage in a classic transport airplane box, but capable of assuming a well-defined shape when it is no longer constrained, in order to have good optical qualities.
- the envelope has a shape such that the porthole is in close proximity to the eyes when the strap is retracted, so as not to excessively reduce peripheral vision.
- the variant embodiment shown in FIG. 6 differs from the previous one in that the envelope extends below the upper strap 16a and passes around the lower strap to which it may or may not be fixed.
- the elongation of the lower strap for the establishment of the head equipment causes a blooming of the lower part of the envelope, facilitating the establishment on the head.
- the mask is stored, folded in a storage box, for example of the type described in document US-A-5,913,307, from which the connection block extends beyond.
- a storage box for example of the type described in document US-A-5,913,307, from which the connection block extends beyond.
- the connection block 12 pulls the equipment out of the box and presses the ears 18.
- the supply of respiratory gas is then connected to the harness which lengthens until that the outer sheaths, initially pleated, be taut.
- the edge of the envelope 30 deploys following the elongation of the harness.
- the user can then place the mask on his face and wrap it over the head, until it rests on the scalp.
- the user then releases the ears 18 to drain the straps.
- Mask 10 is applied to the face with maximum force.
- the edge of the envelope or an intermediate part contracts at the same time as the strap 16a.
- the folds of the envelope mainly appear in the rear area of the strap and are pressed onto the head by tightening the strap without appreciable unfavorable effect on the seal.
- the seal is further improved when the envelope extends below the upper strap or, better still, the two straps.
- the user When the user wishes to replace the equipment in its box, it fully inflates the harness by action on the ear 18. It can then remove all of the equipment. Once the mask is removed, the user releases the ear 18 so that the harness and the envelope become flexible and allow manual folding, then storage of equipment in its box.
- the storage device is a flexible-walled bag 50 whose edge delimits a mask passage opening and is provided with an extensible annular element 42 whose elasticity tends to tighten it. to admit compressed gas into the element to lengthen it
- the annular element 42 may have a constitution similar to that of an inflatable harness strap, such as one of those described in the documents already mentioned.
- the annular element then generally comprises a tube made of an elastic material as tight as possible on which or in which is placed a flexible sheath, but substantially inextensible, whose length in the unfolded state defines the largest possible section of the opening.
- the elasticity of the annular element 42 of such a device will advantageously be such that this element, when deflated, is applied against the nose of the mask 10, leaving only gaps much smaller than that of the flaps of a box
- the means of supplying the annular element 42 can be combined with those which supply the harness.
- These supply means can for example comprise a three-way valve 44 which, at rest, connects the element to the atmosphere and which, when the mask is pulled out of the bag, comes into a position where it supplies the annular element with compressed gas.
- the valve can be controlled by a pallet 46 placed against the rigid bottom of the bag 50 and causing the valve to come into the emptying position when it is pushed by the mask or, conversely, provided for having two locking positions. elastic and be pulled by the mask when it is removed from the bag.
- the supply means can also include a valve which is brought into the supply position in response to a manual action on a button and which returns to the emptying position to the atmosphere after a determined period of time.
