Abstract

A b s t r a c t The invention describes a gas-tight fully protective suit (2) which is worn in a polluted environment and protects the wearer against toxic substances. If combustible or explosive mixtures of gases and vapors are present in the surrounding air and are within the lower explosion limit and therefore constitute a risk of explosion, the wearer must be warned by being informed of the fact. To this end according to the invention, a measuring and alarm instrument (1) is disposed under the suit and comprises a diffusion measuring head (3) having active and inactive gas-detecting components. The diffusion-measuring head (3) is disposed in a gas-tight easing (5) in the suit material (2a), the easing being separated from the outer atmosphere by a diaphragm (12). The diffusion-measuring head (3) is connected by a cable (4) to the indicating and alarm instrument (1), which is secured to the wearer's body (Fig. 1).

Description

f ~016041 .

The Inventlon relates to a gas-tl~ht fully protectlve sult comprislng a measurln~ and alarm lnstrument worn under the sult for ~onltorlng ~n exploslve envrlonment, comprlslng a dlffuslon-measurln~ head havlng actlve and inactlve gas-detectlng components separated from atmosphere by a slntered dlsc.

Fully protectlve sults are worn for work ~nd rescue tn a polluted envlronment and protect the wearer from toxlc substances. If combustlble or exploslve mlxtures of ~ases and vapours are present ln the surroundln~ alr and are wlthln the lower exploslon llmlt and thus constltute a rlsh of exploslon, the wearer must be worned by belng Informed of the fact, vla a portable measurlng ond alarm Instrument. If the lnstrument ls worn outslde the protectlve sult, lt may be mode Inoperatlve by corroslve pollutants ln the surroundln~
olr. In addltlon, owlng to the awkward ~loves on the sult, the tnstrument will be dlfflcult to handle ond unrellable ln operatlon.
In addltlon, an acoustlc alarm outslde the sult may not be heard by : .
~-~ the weorer.

The obJect of the lnventlon ls to ellmlnate the afore~entioned dlssdvonta~es of o protectlve sult ln conJunctlon wlth a measurlns , ~ . .
and olarm tnstrument for lndlcatlng a rlsk of exploslon In the manner d~escrlbed herelnbefore, and to devlse a protectlve sult comprlslng a meosurln~ and alorm lnstrument whlch i~ protected ln the sult and ls slmple to use and rellable ln operatlon.

To thls end occordln6 to the lnventlon a ccsfng holdln~ the dlffuston-measurfin6 head of the meosurln~ and alarm tnstrument ls dlsposed tn gas-tlght manner tn the sult moterlal, the caslng beln~
seporoted from the external otmosphere by a dlaphra~m, ond the dlffuslon-measurtng head can be connected by a coble to the meosurtng and a brm Instrument, whlch ls secured to the wearer's body, ' ,~. ~ ,- : . : . :

The main advontages of the inventlon are that a dlffuslon-measurlng head of o measurlng ond olorm Instrument can be dlsposed by slmple meons in the protectlve sult wlthout the need for structural alteratlons to the suit.

Other advantageous feotures of the Inventlon wlll be clear from sub-clol~s 2 to 7.

An embodlment of the lnventlon ls shown ln the drawlngs and wlll be descrlbed In detall hereinafter. In the drawlngs:

Flg. 1 shows a protectlve sult wlth weorer and a measuring and slor~
lnstrument for wearing under the sult, and Flg. 2 ls a sectlonal dla~ram of ~ diffuslon-measurlng heod dlsposed according to the lnventlon ln the protectlve sult and comprlsln6 a messurtng and alarm instru~ent.

As Flg. 1 shows, o measuring and alarm lnstru~ent 1 ls worn on the wearer's body und r a gas-tight fully protectlve suIt 2, and o messured-vorlable plck-up, l.e. o dlffuslon-~easurlng head 3 conmunlcatln wlth the external otmosphere, ls connected by a cable ~
to tb- measurtng ond olorm lnstrument. The cable connectlon ~ can be plu6ged or scr-w d to the meosurlng ond olorm lnstrument 1.
-~s Flg. 2 shows, o casing 5 for non-detachably holdlng the dlffuslon-meosurln6 head 3 ls dlsposed in gas-tlght manner ln the sult aterlal 2a, l.e. the casing 5 extends throu6h the sult m~tertol 2a and ls screwed to a cap part 8 dlsposed on the outslde of the protectlve sult, vla o slldlng rlng 6 and o rlgld frome 7 dlsposed on the inslde of the suit moterlol 2a ond connected thereto ln gas-tight manner. The dlffuslon-measurlng heod 3 and the octlve and in~ctlve gas-detecting compon-nts 9 are plugged lnto the caslng 5 vla an 0-rlng 10. The gas-detecting components 9 ore separated fro~ the .

In order to protect the gos-detectlng components 9 fro~ corroslve pollutants, o dlaphragn 12 leodtng to the outer atmosphere ls provlded ln ccslng S and ls dlsposed ln front of the slntered dlsc 11 and combustlble goses or vapours con dlffuse through lt to the gas-detectlng components 9.
The combustlble gases or vopours to be measured enter the cop part 8, whlch ls connected for flow purposes to the dlffuslon-aeosurlng heod 3. In the flow dtrectlon, the cop part hos an openlng 13 dlsposed opposlte an entry openlng 14 for combustlble goses and vapours, and odopted to venttbte the stream of vapour or gos to be me~sured, advantogeously after an excess pressure or buffer hos bullt up tn front of the slntered dlsc 11. As a result of the excess pressure, the streom of gas or vopour to be ae6sured flows unlformly from the entry openlng 14 through the slntered dlsc 11 to the gos-detectlng components 9. Thls ensures hlgh occuracy of meosure~ent.

~dvantageously olso, the meosurlng ond olorm lnstrument 1 con be dlsposed in o pocket ~not shown In the drawlngs) on the lnslde of the protectlve sult. In the event of on alorm, lf there Is o rlsk of exploslon, th- weorer con olways be tnfor~ed by on acoustlc olorm, whlch c~n e.g. be dtrectly transmltted to the wearer vla on earplece.
