Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Feedinganordnung für Atemschutzmasken zur Nahrungs- und Getränkeaufnahme im Einsatz, die das Sichtfeld des Maskenträgers nicht einschränkt, einen geringen Bauraum beansprucht und vor Verschmutzung und Kontamination geschützt ist.The invention relates to a feeding arrangement for respirators Food and beverage intake in use that covers the field of vision of the Mask wearer not restricted, takes up little space and is protected from pollution and contamination.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Lösungen bekannt, bei denen Feedingventile mit einem Trinkschlauch ausgerüstet sind, wobei im Bedarfsfall der Trinkschlauch in den Sichtkreis des Maskenträgers bewegen läßt (z.B. US 3 645 261). Nachteil an dieser Lösung ist, daß bei der offenen Anordnung des Trinkschlauches eine Verschmutzungs- und Kontaminationsgefahr besteht und daß der Trinkschlauch im Einsatz beschädigt werden kann.Solutions are known from the prior art in which feeding valves are equipped with a drinking tube, if necessary the drinking tube can be moved into the line of sight of the mask wearer (e.g. US 3,645,261). The disadvantage of this solution is that the open Arrangement of the drinking tube a risk of contamination and contamination exists and that the drinking tube is damaged in use can be.

Aus der Praxis sind Atemschutzmasken bekannt, die mit einem Feedingventil zur Nahrungsaufnahme ohne Schlauchanbindung an der Atemschutzmaske ausgestattet sind. Solche Lösungen sind in den DE 37 08 077 A1, DE-OS 23 21 607 und DE-OS 23 21 344 beschrieben. Nachteilig an diesen Lösungen ist, daß der Maskenträger den an der Nahrungsmittelflasche befindlichen Trinkschlauch ohne Sichtkontakt in das Feedingventil fädeln muß, wobei die Gefahr des Berühren von Trinkschlauch und Atemschutzmaske und damit Verschmutzung und Kontamination nicht ausgeschlossen werden können.Respirators with a feeding valve are known from practice for food intake without hose connection to the respirator are equipped. Such solutions are in DE 37 08 077 A1, DE-OS 23 21 607 and DE-OS 23 21 344. Disadvantageous The problem with these solutions is that the mask wearer is attached to the food bottle located drinking hose without visual contact in the feeding valve must thread, the risk of touching the drinking tube and Respirator mask and therefore no pollution and contamination can be excluded.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung war die Entwicklung einer Feedinganordnung für Atemschutzmasken, die das Gesichtsfeld des Maskenträgers nicht einschränkt, vor Verschmutzung und Kontamination geschützt ist und im Bedarfsfall durch Sichtkontakt das kontaminationsfreie Einführen einer Trinkkanüle ermöglicht.The object of the present invention was to develop a feeding arrangement for breathing masks covering the field of vision of the mask wearer not restricted, protected from contamination and contamination and, if necessary, contamination-free insertion through visual contact a drinking cannula.

Ziel der Erfindung war die Schaffung einer kostengünstigen und sicheren Lösung für eine Feedinganordnung an einer Atemschutzmaske.The aim of the invention was to create an inexpensive and safe Solution for a feeding arrangement on a respirator.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wurde dadurch gelöst, daß ein Rückschlagventil außen an der Atemschutzmaske dicht um eine Hohlachse die als ein Feedinganschlußstück ausgeführt ist, drehbar an der Atemschutzmaske angeordnet ist. Das im Innern der Atemschutzmaske angeordnete Ende der Hohlwelle der Feedinganordnung ist mit einem Mundstückschlauch versehen. Damit wird erreicht, daß bei Bedarf das Rückschlagventil in den Sichtbereich des Maskenträgers gedreht werden kann, wodurch ein leichtes Einführen einer Trinkkanüle der Nahrungs- oder Trinkflasche auch mit Schutzhandschuhen ermöglicht wird. Gleichzeitig wird durch die gefundene Lösung mit der Drehung der Schlauchanbindung in den Sichtbereich des Maskenträgers im Innern der Atemschutzmaske der Mundstückschlauch zum Mund hin bewegt, wodurch eine leichte und bequeme Nahrungsaufnahme durch den Maskenträger ermöglicht wird.
Mit der Anordnung des Rückschlagventils hinter einer Verschlußkappe wurde erreicht, daß ein Verschmutzen und eine Kontamination der Feedinganordnung ausgeschlossen werden kann. Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung gewährleistet, daß das Sichtfeld des Maskenträgers im Einsatz durch die Feedinganordnung weder innen noch außen beeinträchtigt wird und die Feedinganordnung in Ruhestellung nur einen geringen Bauraum beansprucht. Durch eine Abdeckung des Rückschlagventils läßt sich bei Bedarf ein zusätzlichen Schutz vor Kontamination und Verschmutzung erzielen.The object of the invention was achieved in that a non-return valve on the outside of the respirator mask is arranged on the respirator mask so that it can be rotated close to a hollow axis which is designed as a feeding connector. The end of the hollow shaft of the feeding arrangement arranged in the interior of the breathing mask is provided with a mouthpiece tube. This ensures that, if necessary, the check valve can be rotated into the visible area of the mask wearer, which makes it easy to insert a drinking cannula of the food or drinking bottle even with protective gloves. At the same time, the solution found, with the rotation of the hose connection into the visible area of the mask wearer inside the respirator, moves the mouthpiece hose toward the mouth, which enables the mask wearer to easily and conveniently take in food.
With the arrangement of the check valve behind a sealing cap, it was achieved that contamination and contamination of the feeding arrangement can be excluded. The solution according to the invention ensures that the field of vision of the mask wearer in use is not impaired either inside or outside by the feeding arrangement and that the feeding arrangement takes up only a small amount of space in the rest position. By covering the check valve, additional protection against contamination and contamination can be achieved if necessary.

Die Erfindung soll anhand eines Beispiels, das in den Abbildungen 1 ausgeführt ist, näher erläutert werden.The invention will be based on an example that is shown in Figures 1 is to be explained in more detail.

Das Rückschlagventil 1 ist dicht und um eine Hohlwelle 2 drehbar in ein Anschlußstück 4 der Atemschutzmaske angeordnet. Zur Sicherung einer gasdichten Verbindung zwischen Hohlwelle 2 und Anschlußstück 4 sind Dichtringe 6 angeordnet, die z.B. in einer Ausnehmung der Hohlwelle fixiert werden können. Am Ende der Hohlwelle 2 im Innern der Atemschutzmaske ist ein Mundstückschlauch 3 zur Nahrungs- und Getränkeaufnahme für den Maskenträger angeordnet. Das Rückschlagventil 1 ist zum Schutz vor Verschmutzung und Kontamination in Ruhestellung mit einer Verschlußkappe 5 gasdicht verschlossen. Zusätzlich kann im Innern des Rückschlagventils 1 ein Dichtring angeordnet werden.The check valve 1 is tight and rotatable about a hollow shaft 2 in a Connection piece 4 of the respirator mask is arranged. To secure one are gastight connection between hollow shaft 2 and connector 4 Sealing rings 6 arranged, e.g. in a recess of the hollow shaft can be fixed. At the end of the hollow shaft 2 inside the breathing mask is a mouthpiece hose 3 for food and beverage intake arranged for the mask wearer. Check valve 1 is to protect against pollution and contamination at rest a cap 5 sealed gas-tight. In addition, inside of the check valve 1, a sealing ring can be arranged.

In Ruhestellung ist das nach Unten geschwenkte Rückschlagventil 1 neben dem Filteranschluß der Atemschutzmaske unter einer schützenden Abdeckung angeordnet. Der Mundstückschlauch 3 liegt in dieser Stellung seitlich an der Innenwand der Innenmaske an. Damit ist gewährleistet, daß in dieser Stellung ein optimales Sichtfeld für den Maskenträger besteht, das durch die Feedinganordnung nicht eingeschränkt wird.In the rest position, the check valve 1, which is pivoted downward, is next to the filter connection of the respiratory mask under a protective Cover arranged. The mouthpiece tube 3 is in this position on the side of the inner wall of the inner mask. This ensures that in this position there is an optimal field of vision for the mask wearer, that is not restricted by the feeding arrangement.

In Trinkstellung wird das Rückschlagventil 1 aus der Abdeckung in den Sichtbereich des Maskenträgers geschwenkt, so daß nach dem Öffnen der Verschlußkappe 5 eine Trinkkanüle unter Sicht kontaminationsfrei eingeführt werden kann. Mit dem Schwenken des Rückschlagventils 1 wird automatisch der Mundstückschlauch zum Mund des Maskenträgers gedreht, wodurch eine leichte Nahrungs- und Getränkeaufnahme erfolgen kann.In the drinking position, the check valve 1 is removed from the cover in the Field of vision of the mask wearer swiveled so that after opening the cap 5, a drinking cannula under contamination free view can be introduced. With the swiveling of the check valve 1 the mouthpiece tube automatically becomes the mouth of the mask wearer rotated, which makes easy food and beverage intake can.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Feedinganordnung kann die Verschmutzungs- und Kontaminationsgefahr für dies nahezu ausgeschlossen werden und es wird ein unter diesen Einsatzbedingungen hoher Komfort für die Nahrungs- und Getränkeaufnahme erreichtWith the feeding arrangement according to the invention, the pollution and contamination risk for this are almost excluded and it becomes a high comfort for these operating conditions reached the food and drink intake

In Ruhestellung beansprucht die erfindungsgemäße Lösung nur einen geringen Bauraum, in Trinkstellung ist die Öffnung des Rückschlagventils 1 für den Maskenträger gut sichtbar. Dies gilt auch unter Berücksichtigung unterschiedlicher Gesichtsformen, unterschiedlicher Position der Augen und bei der Verwendung unterschiedlicher Maskengrößen. In the rest position, the solution according to the invention only claims one small space, in the drinking position is the opening of the check valve 1 clearly visible to the mask wearer. This also applies taking into account different face shapes, different position of the Eyes and when using different mask sizes.
