Abstract

A protective suit having a crotch, in combination with a longitudinally adjustable support belt removably connectable to the crotch of the protective suit in such a way that when the suit is being worn the belt extends essentially vertically between the protective suit and the wearer and envelops the body of the wearer.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schutzanzug, beispielsweise einen einteiligen Chemikalienschutzanzug oder Hitzeschutzanzug, wie er beispielsweise in der FR-A-2 509 991 beschrieben ist.The invention relates to a protective suit, for example a one-piece chemical protective suit or heat protective suit, as described for example in FR-A-2 509 991.

Chemikalienschutzanzüge und auch Hitzeschutzanzüge werden in der Regel in Einheitsgröße hergestellt. Für Feuerwehren ist dies beispielsweise in der VFDB-Richtlinie 0801 und in der DIN 14492 so vorgesehen, daß eine Einsatzperson mit der Körpergröße von 1,90 m den jeweiligen Anzug tragen kann.Chemical protective suits and also heat protective suits are usually made in one size. For fire brigades, this is provided, for example, in VFDB guideline 0801 and DIN 14492 so that an operator with a height of 1.90 m can wear the respective suit.

Da nur ein geringer Bruchteil der Einsatzpersonen diese Körpergröße exakt aufweist, paßt ein solcher Einheitsanzug zwangsläufig dem Großteil der Einsatzpersonen nicht genau mit der Folge, daß der "Schritt" des Schutzanzuges soweit nach unten hängt, daß beispielsweise Treppensteigen, Besteigen von Kesselwagen oder Leitern im Einsatzfall unmöglich wird oder zumindest mit einer zusätzlichen Behinderung und damit Gefährdung der jeweiligen Einsatzperson erkauft wird.Since only a small fraction of the deployment personnel have this exact height, such a uniform suit does not necessarily fit the majority of the deployment personnel with the consequence that the "step" of the protective suit hangs down so far that, for example, climbing stairs, climbing tank wagons or ladders in an emergency becomes impossible or at least is bought with an additional disability and thus endangering the respective operator.

Es ist daher schon versucht worden, in Taillenhöhe des Schutzanzuges einen Gürtel einzuziehen. Diese Lösung brachte jedoch nur einen Teilerfolg, da nach wie vor bei Personen mit kürzeren Beinen der Schrittbereich des Schutzanzuges zu weit nach unten hing mit den oben erwähnten Beeinträchtigungen und Gefahren.It has therefore already been attempted to pull in a belt at the waist level of the protective suit. However, this solution was only partially successful, as the crotch area of the protective suit still hung too far down with people with shorter legs, with the above-mentioned impairments and dangers.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, bei einem solchen insbesondere einteiligen Schutzanzug den Schutzanzug bezüglich des Körpers der Einsatzperson so zu positionieren, daß eine genaue Anpassung dieser Position an die Schrittlänge der jeweiligen Einsatzperson erreicht werden kann.It is therefore an object of the invention to position the protective suit with respect to the body of the operator in such a one-piece protective suit such that an exact adaptation of this position to the stride length of the respective operator can be achieved.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe gelöst durch einen auf der Innenseite, zumindest im Schrittbereich, lösbar derart mit dem Schutzanzug verbindbaren, längenmäßig verstellbaren Tragegurt, daß er in der Trageposition im wesentlichen vertikal innerhalb des Schutzanzuges verläuft und den Körper des Benutzers umschließt. Die wesentliche Funktion des in seiner Länge verstellbaren Tragegurtes besteht darin, daß damit der Abstand von den Schultern zum Schrittbereich der Einsatzperson exakt eingestellt werden kann, so daß der Schutzanzug über eine im Schrittbereich angebrachte Verbindung, beispielsweise eine Schlaufe, dort in der durch die eingestellte Länge des Tragegurtes vorgegebenen Position fixiert wird, so daß die volle Schrittlänge der Einsatzperson beim Tragen des Schutzanzuges erhalten bleibt.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a strap which can be connected to the protective suit and is adjustable in length on the inside, at least in the crotch area, in such a way that in the wearing position it runs essentially vertically inside the protective suit and encloses the body of the user. The essential function of the length-adjustable shoulder strap is that the distance from the shoulders to the crotch area of the operator can be adjusted precisely so that the protective suit is connected to the crotch area by means of a connection, for example a loop, in the length that is set of the riser predetermined position is fixed so that the full stride of the operator is retained when wearing the protective suit.

Außer der tatsächlich erreichten "Schrittfreiheit" trotz Schutzanzuges besitzt der Tragegurt noch eine wesentliche weitere Funktion dadurch, daß über seine "Aufhängung" im Schrittbereich (beispielsweise über die Schlaufe) und die Führung des Tragegurtes über die beiden Schultern als "Auflagepunkte" ein Großteil des Eigengewichtes des Schutzanzuges (der je nach Ausführung ein beträchtliches Gewicht aufweisen kann) auf die Schultern der Einsatzperson "umgeleitet" wird. Insbesondere bei solchen Schutzanzügen, bei denen ein Kopfteil mit Sichtschutzscheibe mit angeformt ist, ist dies von erheblichem Vorteil, da bei bisherigen Lösungen praktisch das gesamte Gewicht des Schutzanzuges auf dem Kopf der Einsatzperson lastet, was unbequem und ermüdend ist und somit auch die Einsatzfähigkeit beeinträchtigen kann. Der erfindungsgemäße Schutzanzug mit dem Tragegurt entlastet somit den Kopf- und Nackenbereich der Einsatzperson durch Aufnahme zumindest eines großen Teiles des Gewichtes des Schutzanzuges durch die Schultern der Einsatzperson, was vom gesundheitlichen Standpunkt weitaus weniger problematisch ist.In addition to the "step-freeness" actually achieved despite the protective suit, the shoulder strap also has an essential additional function in that a large part of its own weight is carried out via its "suspension" in the crotch area (for example via the loop) and the guidance of the shoulder strap over the two shoulders as "support points" of the protective suit (which, depending on the version, can have a considerable weight) is "redirected" to the shoulders of the operator. In particular in protective suits in which a head part with a protective screen is also molded on, this is of considerable advantage, since with previous solutions practically the entire weight of the protective suit rests on the head of the operator, which is uncomfortable and tiring and can therefore also impair the usability . The protective suit according to the invention with the shoulder strap thus relieves the head and neck area of the operator by absorbing at least a large part of the weight of the protective suit by the operator's shoulders, which is far less problematic from a health standpoint.

the protective suit with the shoulder strap in its intended function.

Der Tragegurt 10 besteht beispielsweise aus einem 50 mm breiten und 1,5 mm dicken Kunststoff-Gewebeband, das hochreißfähig und ggf. hitzebeständig ist. An seinen mittleren Teil 10A sind über Verteilerstücke 12A, 12B, die gleichzeitig zur Verstärkung dienen, V-förmige Endteile 10B, 10C angeschlossen. Die beiden Schenkel des kürzeren Endteiles 10B sind mit einem Haftbelag 11A versehen, die beiden Schenkelenden des längeren Endteils 10C sind auf ihrer Unterseite mit einem entsprechenden Flauschbelag 11B versehen derart, daß beim Auflegen der Schenkel des Endbereiches 10C auf ihren zugehörigen Schenkel des Endbereiches 10B ein Klettbandverschluß gebildet wird. Die Funktion dieses Tragegurtes 10 ist wie folgt (Fig. 2):The carrying strap 10 consists, for example, of a 50 mm wide and 1.5 mm thick plastic fabric tape, which is tear-resistant and possibly heat-resistant. V-shaped end parts 10B, 10C are connected to its middle part 10A via distributing pieces 12A, 12B, which also serve for reinforcement. The two legs of the shorter end part 10B are provided with an adhesive covering 11A, the two leg ends of the longer end part 10C are provided on their underside with a corresponding fleece covering 11B such that when the legs of the end region 10C are placed on their associated legs of the end region 10B, a Velcro fastener is formed. The function of this shoulder strap 10 is as follows (Fig. 2):

Im Schrittbereich S des Schutzanzuges 20 befindet sich eine Schlaufe 13, in der der mittlere Teil 10A des Tragegurtes 10 gehalten ist. Nachdem die Einsatzperson mit beiden Beinen in die Hosenbeine und Stiefel des Schutzanzuges 20 eingestiegen ist, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, wird der Tragegurt 10 derart angelegt, daß er den Körper der Einsatzperson umschließt, wobei mittels des Klettbandverschlusses 11A, 11B, der im Brustbereich B zu liegen kommt, die wirksame Länge des Tragegurtes 10 und damit die Höhe des Schrittbereiches des Schutzanzuges 20 festlegbar ist. Damit wird letztlich der Abstand X zwischen dem Schulterbereich S1/S2 und dem Schrittbereich S der Einsatzperson und somit für jede Einsatzperson individuell der richtige Anzugsitz im "Schritt" eingestellt.In the crotch area S of the protective suit 20 there is a loop 13 in which the middle part 10A of the carrying belt 10 is held. After the operator has entered the trouser legs and boots of the protective suit 20 with both legs, as shown in FIG. 2, the carrying belt 10 is put on in such a way that it encircles the body of the operator, using the Velcro fastener 11A, 11B in the chest area B comes to rest, the effective length of the shoulder strap 10 and thus the height of the crotch area of the protective suit 20 can be determined. Ultimately, this sets the distance X between the shoulder area S1 / S2 and the crotch area S of the deployment person and thus the correct suit seat in the "step" for each deployment person.

Die Klettbandverschlüsse haben dabei den Vorteil, daß keinerlei Druckstellen entstehen und der Gurt bequem zu tragen ist. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist darin zu sehen, daß jede Art von Schutzanzügen durch Anbringung geeigneter Schlaufen oder ähnlicher Halteelemente jederzeit nachträglich mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Tragegurt ausgerüstet werden kann.The Velcro fasteners have the advantage that there are no pressure points and the belt is comfortable to wear. Another advantage is the fact that every type of protective suit can be retrofitted with the carrying strap according to the invention at any time by attaching suitable loops or similar holding elements.
