Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schutzanzug mit einem Reißverschluß als Durchlaßöffnung, wobei ein Ende des Reißverschlusses über eine Umwegstrecke um einen Körperbereich geführt ist.The invention relates to a protective suit with a zipper as a passage opening, one end of the zipper being guided over a detour around a body region.

Um den Körper eines Menschen vor schädlichen Einwirkungen bei seinem Einsatz in vergifteter oder sonst mit Schadstoffen angereicherter Atmosphäre zu schützen, sind dafür geeignete Schutzanzüge oder Hauben bekannt, welche gas- und/oder wasserdicht um den gesamten Körper angelegt werden können. Sie sind so zugeschnitten, daß selbst Atemschutzgerät und/oder dazugehörige Atemschutzmaske unter dem Schutzanzug getragen werden können. Zum Einstieg in diesen Schutzanzug muß eine genügend weite Öffnung geschaffen werden, wozu beispielsweise ein Reißverschluß in einer dazu günstigen Wegführung eingearbeitet ist. Um einen bequemen Einstieg und nach beendetem Einsatz einen möglichst einfachen Ausstieg zu ermöglichen, bei dem der Anzugträger nicht mit äußeren, verschmutzen Oberflächen in Berührung kommt, ist der Verlauf des Reißverschlusses so vorzusehen, daß eine möglichst ungehinderte Entfaltung des geöffneten Schutzanzuges verwirklicht wird. Dies ist insbesondere dann notwendig, wenn weitere Geräte am Körper unterhalb des Schutzanzuges getragen werden müssen, wie dies zum Beispiel für den Einsatz unter schwerem Atemschutz bei Feuerwehrleuten, Tauchern, Bergleuten oder auch für Piloten notwendig ist, die einen ABC-Schutzanzug benötigen.In order to protect the body of a person from harmful effects when used in a poisoned or otherwise enriched atmosphere, suitable protective suits or hoods are known which can be put on the entire body in a gas-tight and / or watertight manner. They are tailored so that even a respirator and / or associated respirator can be worn under the protective suit. To get into this protective suit, a sufficiently wide opening must be created, for which purpose, for example, a zipper is incorporated in a convenient route. In order to enable easy entry and, after use, the easiest possible exit, in which the suit wearer does not come into contact with external, dirty surfaces, the course of the zipper must be provided in such a way that the opened protective suit can be unfolded as freely as possible. This is particularly necessary if additional devices have to be worn on the body underneath the protective suit, as is necessary for firefighters, divers, miners or pilots who need an ABC protective suit, for example under heavy breathing protection.

Bei der dazu erforderlichen Verlauf des Reißverschlusses ergeber sich außer geraden Abschnitten dann oft auch gekrümmt um Körperbereiche verlaufende Umwegstrecken.In addition to straight sections, the zipper course required for this often results in detours that are curved around body areas.

Ein derartiger Schutzanzug ist aus der DE-Z: "Gebrauchsanleitung Gasschutzanzug 600 PF, Nr. 2536.3, 1. Ausgabe Januar 1980, Drägerwerk AG, Lübeck", bekannt, und wird darüber hinaus in der DE-Z: "Drägerheft, Nr. 312, Seite 5 bis 13, September/ Dezember 1978", beschrieben.Such a protective suit is known from DE-Z: "Instructions for Use Gas Protective Suit 600 PF, No. 2536.3, 1st Edition January 1980, Drägerwerk AG, Lübeck", and is also described in DE-Z: "Dräger Review, No. 312 , Pages 5 to 13, September / December 1978 ".

Der bekannte Schutzanzug zeigt einen Reißverschluß, der ausgehend von der rechten Beinseite über die Brust zur Schulter und von dort aus quer über die gesamte Breite der Kopfhaube geführt ist. Andere Linienführungen bei ähnlichen Schutzanzügen verlaufen quer an der Vorderseite des Anzugs und sind zur Schulter bis hin zu einem rückwärtigen Teilbereich geführt. Besondere Schwierigkeiten bereitet die Betätigung von Reißverschlüssen an solchen Abschnitten, wo sie nicht gestreckt, sondern auf einer Umwegstrecke gekrümmt verlaufen. Dort muß der Schieber unmittelbar von Hand verschoben werden. Für vom Anzugträger nicht erreichbare Stellen muß er also eine weitere Person zur Hilfestellung hinzuziehen. Während des Einsatzes können jedoch Notsituationen auftreten, bei denen ein schnelles Öffnen beispielsweise im Kopfbereich des Schutzanzuges erforderlich wird. Ein solcher Notfall kann dadurch eintreten, daß im Bereich der Atemschutzmaske eine Sitzkorrektur erfolgen muß oder ein schnelles Ablegen der Atemschutzmaske notwendig wird, z.B. bei plötzlich auftretender Übelkeit. Solche Notfälle können aber auch dann entstehen, wenn der Anzugträger durch eine Irritation im Gesichtsbereich an einer sorgfältigen Ausübung seiner Tätigkeit gehindert ist. Er ist dann bestrebt, diese Irritation zu beseitigen oder auch die durchzuführende Korrektur des Maskensitzes so schnell wie möglich zu verwirklichen, wobei er leicht in Panik geraten kann, wenn die Befreiung des Kopfbereiches aus dem Schutzanzug nur umständlich oder mit fremder Hilfe durchzuführen ist, die nicht sofort zur Verfügung steht. Andere Bereiche, zu denen der Anzugträger möglichst schnell Zugang haben muß, ohne daß der Reißverschluß auf aufwendige Art und Weise geöffnet werden muß, sind in der Nähe des am Rücken getragenen Atemschutzgerätes zu suchen.The well-known protective suit shows a zipper, which runs from the right side of the leg over the chest to the shoulder and from there across the entire width of the hood. Other lines with similar protective suits run across the front of the suit and run from the shoulder to a rear section. The operation of zippers on those sections is particularly difficult where they are not stretched but rather curved on a detour. There the slide must be moved directly by hand. For places not reachable by the suit wearer, he has to call in another person to help. However, emergency situations may arise during use, in which a quick opening is necessary, for example in the head area of the protective suit. Such an emergency can occur in that a seat correction must be carried out in the area of the respirator mask or that the respirator mask must be removed quickly, for example in the event of sudden nausea. However, such emergencies can also arise if the suit wearer is prevented from performing his job carefully due to irritation in the face area. He then endeavors to eliminate this irritation or to implement the correction of the mask fit as quickly as possible, whereby he can easily panic if the removal of the head area from the protective suit can only be carried out with great difficulty or with outside help, which is not immediately available. Other areas to which the suit wearer must have access as quickly as possible without having to open the zipper in a complex manner are to be found in the vicinity of the breathing apparatus worn on the back.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Schutzanzug der genannten Art so zu verbessern, daß besonders in Notsituationen die Durchlaßöffnung im Bereich ihrer Umwegstrecke von dem Anzugträger von bequem erreichbaren Stellen aus leicht geöffnet werden kann, wobei unabhängig von dem Zuschnitt und der Lage der Umwegstrecke das Öffnen durch eine einhändige Zugbewegung in beliebiger körpergerechter Richtung erfolgen kann.The present invention is therefore based on the object to improve a protective suit of the type mentioned so that, particularly in emergency situations, the passage opening in the area of its detour from the suit wearer can be easily opened from easily accessible locations, regardless of the cut and the location of the Detour route can be opened by a one-handed pulling movement in any body-appropriate direction.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe erfolgt dadurch, daß an dem Schieber des Reißverschlusses ein flexibles Zugmittel angreift, welches entlang der Umwegstrecke geführt ist.The object is achieved in that a flexible traction means acts on the slide of the zipper and is guided along the detour route.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile liegen im wesentlichen darin, daß nunmehr die Umwegstrecke, die nicht notwendigerweise mit der Hauptzugrichtung des Reißverschlusses der übrigen Durchlaßöffnung zusammenfallen muß, dennoch durch eine einzige Zugbewegung schnell und vollständig geöffnet werden kann. Nach Eröffnung der Umwegstrecke ist ein Zugang zum freigelegten Körperteil des Trägers oder einem Geräteteil möglich ohne ein aufwendiges öffnen des übrigen Anzugs. Es wird eine einfache Fernbetätigung des Reißverschlußschiebers ermöglicht, wenn dieser bei geschlossenem Reißverschluß vom Anzugträger nicht unmittelbar erreichbar ist, und dank der Führung für das Zugmittel sogar über einen gekrümmten Verlauf und in beliebiger Zugrichtung.The advantages achieved by the invention are essentially that now the detour route, which does not necessarily have to coincide with the main pulling direction of the zipper of the other passage opening, can nevertheless be opened quickly and completely by a single pulling movement. After opening the detour route, access to the exposed body part of the wearer or a device part is possible without having to open the rest of the suit. A simple remote control of the slide fastener slide is made possible if it is not directly accessible from the suit wearer when the slide fastener is closed, and thanks to the guide for the traction device, even over a curved course and in any direction.

Eine derartige Lösung ist in gleicher Weise auch bei Hüllen anwendbar, die den Körper nur teilweise einschließen, wie z.B. Kopf-Schulter-Hauben, oder in ähnlichen Fällen.Such a solution can also be used in the same way for covers which only partially enclose the body, such as Head and shoulders, or in similar cases.

Als besonders einfaches geeignetes Zugmittel hat sich ein Zugseil erwiesen, welches in einer Zugführung läuft. Dabei bestimmt die Zugführung die Länge der Umwegstrecke und sorgt dafür, daß auch bei Betätigung des Zugseils in einer Schrägzugrichtung dennoch die Führung des Schiebers entlang der Umwegstrecke erfolgt.A pulling rope, which runs in a pulling guide, has proven to be a particularly simple, suitable pulling means. The routing determines the length of the detour route and ensures that even when the pull rope is actuated in an oblique pull direction, the slide is guided along the detour route.

Die Zugführung kann aus mehreren einzelnen entlang der Umwegstrecke positionierten Stütz- und Führungsstellen in Form von Ösen oder auch aus einer ununterbrochenen geschlitzten Kulissenführung bestehen, in der das Zugseil aufgenommen ist.The cable routing can consist of several individual support and guide points positioned along the detour route in the form of eyelets or also of an uninterrupted slotted link guide in which the cable is accommodated.

Bei einer Anordnung von mehreren Zugführungen entlang der Umwegstrecke wird zweckmäßigerweise die in Öffnungsrichtung endständige Zugführung feststellbar und die übrigen verschiebbar ausgebildet. Bei geschlossenem Reißverschluß können die verschiebbaren Zugführungen beliebig nach Gesichtspunkten der Zweckmäßigkeit entlang der Umwegstrecke positioniert werden, wobei lediglich die endständige Zugführung an einer geeigneten Stelle des Reißverschlusses am Ende der Umwegstrecke festgestellt werden kann. Bei geschlossenem Reißverschluß legen die Zugführungen den Verlauf des Zugseils entlang der Umwegstrecke fest. Beim Öffnen des Reißverschlusses werden die verschiebbar angeordneten Zugführungen von dem Reißverschlußschieber mitgeschleppt, bis sie die festgestellte Zugführung erreichen. Soll späterhin der Reißverschluß über die Umwegstrecke hinaus geöffnet werden, kann die festgestellte Zugführung gelöst und der Reißverschlußschieber weiter entlang des Reißverschlusses gezoge werden. Das Schließen des Reißverschlusses erfolgt nach herkömmlicher Art, wobei dann entlang der Umwegstrecke die verschiebbaren Zugführungen positioniert und die endständige festgestellt werden muß.In the case of an arrangement of a plurality of train guides along the detour route, the train guide which is terminal in the opening direction is expediently ascertainable and the others are designed to be displaceable. When the zipper is closed, the displaceable cable guides can be positioned as desired along the detour route from the point of view of expediency, only the terminal cable guide being able to be determined at a suitable point on the zipper at the end of the detour route. When the zipper is closed, the cable guides determine the course of the cable along the detour route. When opening the zipper, the slidably arranged cable guides are dragged along by the zipper slide until they reach the Reach the determined routing. If the zipper is later to be opened beyond the detour, the determined routing can be released and the zipper slider pulled further along the zipper. The zipper is closed in a conventional manner, with the displaceable cable guides then being positioned along the detour route and the terminal end being ascertained.

Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der endständigen Zugführung kann dadurch verwirklicht werden, daß diese mit einer in Öffnungsrichtung des Schiebers gleitenden Sperrklinke versehen ist. Eine derartige Sperrklinke wird unter Schrägzug des Zugseils in Sperrichtung belastet, wodurch deren Verschiebung in Richtung zur Umwegstrecke verhindert wird, sie kann jedoch durch den auflaufenden Schieber in Löserichtung leicht mitgenommen werden.A particularly advantageous embodiment of the terminal cable guide can be realized in that it is provided with a pawl sliding in the opening direction of the slide. Such a pawl is loaded by pulling the traction cable obliquely in the reverse direction, thereby preventing its displacement in the direction of the detour route, but it can easily be taken along in the direction of release by the slider which runs up.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildung der feststellbaren Zugführung besteht darin, daß sie mit einem Rastschieber versehen ist, dessen Rastung durch die vom Zugseil mitgeschleppten Schieber bzw. Zugführungen lösbar ist. Dadurch wird die Zugführung mit Hilfe einer Sperre festgehalten, die beispielsweise zwischen die Zähne des Reißverschlusses eingreift. Sie kann dadurch wieder gelöst werden, indem die mitgeschleppten Zugführungen oder auch der Reißverschlußschieber selbst auf ein Betätigungselement des Rastschiebers auflaufen oder dieses auch übergreifen und so die festgestellte Zugführung entrasten.A further advantageous embodiment of the lockable cable guide is that it is provided with a locking slide, the locking of which can be released by the slide or cable guides carried by the cable. As a result, the cable routing is held in place with the aid of a lock which, for example, engages between the teeth of the zipper. It can be released again in that the dragged cable guides or the slide fastener slide itself run onto an actuating element of the locking slide or also overlap it and thus unlatch the determined cable guide.

Eine weitere Erleichterung in der Handhabung ergibt sich, wenn die Umwegstrecke das eine Ende eines doppelseitig öffenbaren Reißverschlusses ist. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß die Umwegstrecke ein nur in Notfällen zu öffnender Durchlaß ist, wobei der vollständige Ausstieg aus dem Schutzanzug durch das Öffnen des übrigen leicht zugänglichen Reißverschlußteiles erfolgen kann.A further simplification in handling results when the detour is the one end of a zipper that can be opened on both sides. This ensures that the detour is a passage that can only be opened in emergencies, and the complete exit from the protective suit can be done by opening the other easily accessible zipper part.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand der schematischen Zeichnung dargestellt und im folgenden näher erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is illustrated by the schematic drawing and explained in more detail below.

Der in Fig. 1 dargestellte Schutzanzug (1) bedeckt den Körper des Trägers vollständig und zudem schließt er auch ein auf dem Rücken tragbares Atemschutzgerät ein. Zum Ein- und Aussteigen des Anzugträgers ist ein Reißverschluß (2) vorgesehen, der von der rechten Beinseite über Brust und Schultern geführt ist und in einer Umwegstrecke (3) endet, welche vom Schulterbereich ausgehend über den gesamten Hinterkopfbereich gelegt ist.The protective suit (1) shown in FIG. 1 completely covers the body of the wearer and also includes a breathing apparatus that can be worn on the back. A zipper (2) is provided for getting in and out of the suit wearer, which is guided from the right side of the leg over the chest and shoulders and ends in a detour (3), which extends from the shoulder area over the entire back of the head.

In Fig. 2 ist die Umwegstrecke (3) des Reißverschlusses (2) dargestellt. Die geschlossene Bahn (4) der Umwegstrecke (3) wird durch die eingehakten Verschlußzähne (5) zusammengehalten und durch ein Endstück (18) abgeschlossen. Entlang der Bahn (4) sind zwei verschiebbare Zugführungen (6) und eine endständige feststellbare Zugführung (7) angeordnet, durch deren Ösen (8) ein Zugseil (9) geführt ist. Das Zugseil (9) greift an die Lasche (10) eines Schiebers (11) an und ist an seinem anderen Ende mit einer Zugschlaufe (12) versehen. Die feststellbare Zugführung (7) besitzt eine Sperrklinke (13), die unter Einwirkung der Kraft einer Feder (14) gegen die Verschlußzähne (5) um die Achse (15) beweglich gedrückt ist.In Fig. 2 the detour route (3) of the zipper (2) is shown. The closed path (4) of the detour route (3) is held together by the hooked-in locking teeth (5) and closed by an end piece (18). Two displaceable cable guides (6) and a terminal lockable cable guide (7) are arranged along the track (4), through the eyes (8) of which a cable (9) is guided. The pull rope (9) engages the tab (10) of a slider (11) and is provided with a pull loop (12) at its other end. The lockable cable guide (7) has a pawl (13) which acts against the force of a spring (14) Locking teeth (5) about the axis (15) is movably pressed.

Die feststellbare Zugführung (7) ist in Fig. 3 näher dargestellt. Sie trägt auf der einen Seite der Bahn (4) die im Schnittbild dargestellte Öse (8), durch deren Kanal (16) das nicht dargestellte Zugseil (9) geführt ist. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Bahn (4) ist die Sperrklinke (13) durch die Feder (14) an die Zähne (5) gedrückt. Dabei bildet die Sperrklinke (13) an ihrem Berührungspunkt mit den Zähnen (5) einen in Öffnungsrichtung (dargestellt durch den Pfeil (17) ) spitzen Winkel.The lockable cable guide (7) is shown in Fig. 3 in more detail. It carries on one side of the web (4) the eyelet (8) shown in the sectional view, through the channel (16) of which the pull rope (9), not shown, is guided. On the opposite side of the track (4), the pawl (13) is pressed against the teeth (5) by the spring (14). The pawl (13) forms an acute angle in the opening direction (represented by the arrow (17)) at its point of contact with the teeth (5).

Die Zugführung (7) kann somit in der Öffnungsrichtung (17) mit schleppender Sperrklinke (13) gleiten. Eine Verstellung in entgegengesetzter Richtung ist nur möglich, wenn die Sperrklinke durch Druck auf ihr Betätigungsende (13) von den Zähnen (5) abgehoben ist.The cable guide (7) can thus slide in the opening direction (17) with a trailing pawl (13). An adjustment in the opposite direction is only possible if the pawl is lifted off the teeth (5) by pressure on its actuating end (13).

Die gleitende Befestigung ist bei den Zugführungen (6, 7) ähnlich wie beim Schieber (11) dadurch erreicht, daß sie unter den Hinterschnitt der einzelnen Zähne (5) greifen.The sliding attachment is achieved in the cable guides (6, 7) similar to the slide (11) in that they reach under the undercut of the individual teeth (5).
