Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Haltevorrichtung für eine Atemschutzmaske zu deren Verbindung mit einem Schutzhelm, mit beidseitig an der Atemschutzmaske vorgesehenen Befestigungshaken, die in an der Außenseite des Schutzhelms ausgebildete Hakenaufnahmetaschen einhängbar sind.
Atemschutzmasken, die nicht unmittelbar am Kopf des Benutzers gehalten sind, sondern mittels einer speziellen Haltevorrichtung an dem Schutzhelm befestigt und am Gesicht des Maskenträgers verspannt werden, sind bekannt. Sie ermöglichen das schnelle Anlegen der Schutzmaske bei aufgesetztem Schutzhelm während eines Einsatzes. Bei einer bekannten Kombination aus Atemschutzmaske und Schutzhelm ist an den gegenüberliegenden Seitenrändern der Atemschutzmaske jeweils eine Haltevorrichtung angebracht, die eine gelenkig an der Atemschutzmaske gehaltene Befestigungsstange mit an deren freiem Ende unter der Wirkung einer Zugfeder teleskopisch fixiertem Befestigungshaken umfasst, während an den seitlich gegenüberliegenden Außenflächen des Schutzhelms jeweils eine Hakenaufnahmetasche ausgebildet ist, in die der jeweilige Befestigungshaken entgegen der Federwirkung eingehängt wird, um die Schutzmaske unter Vorspannung am Gesicht des Maskenträgers zu halten (siehe z.B. Dokument FR 2 707 141).The invention relates to a holding device for a respiratory mask for its connection to a protective helmet, with fastening hooks provided on both sides on the respiratory mask, which can be suspended in hook receiving pockets formed on the outside of the protective helmet.
Respiratory masks, which are not held directly on the head of the user, but are fixed by means of a special holding device to the protective helmet and braced on the face of the mask wearer are known. They make it possible to apply the protective mask quickly when the protective helmet is put on during use. In a known combination of respirator and protective helmet each holding a device is attached to the opposite side edges of the respirator, which includes a hinged to the respirator mounting rod with at the free end under the action of a tension telescopically fixed mounting hooks, while on the laterally opposite outer surfaces of the Protective helmets in each case a hook receiving pocket is formed, in which the respective fastening hook is suspended against the spring action to keep the protective mask under tension on the face of the mask wearer (see, for example, document FR 2 707 141).

Das Anlegen der Atemschutzmaske mit dieser verhältnismäßig kompliziert ausgebildeten Haltevorrichtung bereitet insofern Schwierigkeiten, als die unter Federwirkung stehenden und an einer starren Verlängerungsstange angeordneten Befestigungshaken unter schwierigen Einsatzbedingungen nicht einfach zu handhaben sind. In Abhängigkeit von der Kopfgröße des Maskenträgers kann die Atemschutzmaske aufgrund der nicht einstellbaren Federkräfte entweder zu fest oder zu locker am Gesicht anliegen, so dass der Tragekomfort leidet, Dichtheitsprobleme auftreten oder die Atemschutzmaske leicht verrutschen kann. Eine Einstellung der Federstärke ist zwar indirekt über das Versetzen der Hakenaufnahmetaschen möglich, jedoch sind in diesem Fall die Schutzhelme zwischen den Benutzern mit unterschiedlicher Kopfform nicht mehr austauschbar. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine einfach ausgebildete und leicht handhabbare Haltevorrichtung zur Befestigung einer Atemschutzmaske an einem Schutzhelm anzugeben, die einen hohen Trage- und Anlegekomfort und einen sicheren Atemschutz gewährleistet.The application of the respirator with this relatively complicated holding device prepares so far as the spring-loaded and arranged on a rigid extension rod mounting hook under difficult conditions not easy to handle. Depending on the head size of the mask wearer, the respirator due to the non-adjustable spring forces either too tight or too loose on the face rest, so that the wearer suffers, leakage problems occur or the respirator can easily slip. Although adjustment of the spring strength is possible indirectly via the displacement of the hook receiving pockets, in this case the protective helmets between users with different head shapes are no longer interchangeable. The invention has for its object to provide a simple design and easy to handle holding device for attaching a respirator on a protective helmet, which ensures a high level of comfort and wearing comfort and safe respiratory protection.

In Kombination mit dem biegeschlaffen Spannband sind im Bereich des Befestigungshakens Anschlagelemente vorgesehen, die reib- und formschlüssig am Schutzhelm oder dessen Hakenaufnahmetasche gehalten sind, so das sich die Befestigungshaken selbst bei einer äußeren Krafteinwirkung auf die Atemschutzmaske nicht aus den Aufnahmetaschen lösen können. Gemäß einem mit den zuvor erwähnten Merkmalen kombinierten weiteren wichtigen Erfindungsmerkmal sind den reib-und formschlüssig wirkenden Anschlagelementen zu diesen versetzt angeordnete Gleitelemente zugeordnet, die beim Anziehen der Spannbänder eine selbsttätige Positionierung der Befestigungshaken und eine Ausrichtung der Spannbänder für einen optimalen Sitz der Atemschutzmaske gewährleisten. Unter diesen Voraussetzungen sorgt eine Haltevorrichtung mit Befestigungshaken für einen hohen Anlege-und Tragekomfort sowie einen sicheren Sitz bei einer mit dem Schutzhelm zu verbindenden Atemschutzmaske.An important feature of the invention consists firstly in that the fastening hooks are each attached to a flexible, length-adjustable strap and the fastening hooks can therefore be easily inserted into the hook receiving pockets. The secure fit of the mask on the face of the user can be set individually depending on the head size. In combination with the pliable strap stop elements are provided in the region of the fastening hook, which are held frictionally and positively on the helmet or its Hakenaufnahmetasche, so that the attachment hooks can not solve even with an external force on the respirator from the receiving pockets. According to one combined with the aforementioned features Another important feature of the invention are the frictionally and positively acting stop elements associated with these staggered sliding elements, which ensure an automatic positioning of the fastening hooks and an alignment of the clamping bands for optimum fit of the respirator when tightening the straps. Under these conditions, a holding device with attachment hook ensures a high level of wearing comfort and a secure fit with a respirator to be connected to the protective helmet.

In weiterer Ausbildung der Erfindung ist der Befestigungshaken als Griffstück mit ergonomisch gestalteten Griffelementen ausgebildet, um die Handhabung der Haltevorrichtung auch beim Tragen von Handschuhen weiter zu erleichtern.In a further embodiment of the invention, the fastening hook is designed as a handle with ergonomically designed handle elements to facilitate the handling of the holding device even when wearing gloves on.

Gemäß der Darstellung in Fig. 1 ist an einem Scheibenrahmen 1 einer Atemschutzmaske 2 seitlich gegenüberliegend jeweils eine Haltevorrichtung 3 mit Hilfe eines Bügels 4 befestigt. Am freien Ende des Bügels 4 ist eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung für ein Spannband 10, die eine am Umfang profilierte Klemmrolle 5 und eine unter Federwirkung verschwenkbare Klemmtaste 6 umfasst, angeordnet. Außerdem ist am Bügelende ein Haltering 7 zur Befestigung eines Nackenbandes 8 vorgesehen. Mit dem Nackenband 8 kann die Atemschutzmaske 2 bei Nichtbenutzung um den Hals des Maskenträgers gehängt werden und steht somit jederzeit für eine Benutzung zur Verfügung. Die Haltevorrichtung 3 umfasst ferner das in Querrichtung verlaufende, im Abstand angeordnete Raststege 11 aufweisende Spannband 10, das zwischen der Klemmrolle 5 und der Klemmtaste 6 geführt und entsprechend dem Abstand der Raststege 11 arretierbar ist, und zwar in der jeweils gewünschten Position zum dichten Anlegen der Atemschutzmaske an das Gesicht des Maskenträgers. An dem von der Verriegelungsvorrichtung entfernten Ende des Spannbandes 10 ist ein Haltestück 12 einstückig angeformt, auf dessen freier Oberfläche Anschlagelemente 13 ausgebildet sind. Das Spannband 10, das Haltestück 12 und die Anschlagelemente 13 bestehen aus einem gummielastischen Material. In das Spannband 10 ist eine Armierung eingebunden, so dass das Spannband 10 zwar flexibel, aber in Längsrichtung im Wesentlichen nicht dehnbar ist.As shown in FIG. 1, a holding device 3 is fastened laterally opposite to a window frame 1 of a respirator mask 2 by means of a bracket 4. At the free end of the bracket 4 is a locking device for a clamping band 10, which comprises a circumferentially profiled pinch roller 5 and a pivotable spring action clamping button 6, respectively. In addition, a retaining ring 7 for fixing a neck band 8 is provided at the temple end. With the neck band 8, the respirator 2 can be hung when not in use around the neck of the mask wearer and is thus available at any time for use. The holding device 3 further comprises the transversely extending, spaced-apart locking webs 11 having clamping band 10 which is guided between the pinch roller 5 and the clamping button 6 and lockable according to the distance of the locking webs 11, in the respectively desired position for the tight application of Respiratory mask on the face of the mask wearer. At the end remote from the locking device of the clamping band 10, a holding piece 12 is integrally formed, on the free surface of stop elements 13 are formed. The tension band 10, the retaining piece 12 and the stop elements 13 are made of a rubber-elastic material. In the tension band 10, a reinforcement is incorporated, so that the tension band 10 while flexible, but substantially non-stretchable in the longitudinal direction.

Die Haltevorrichtung umfasst des Weiteren einen mit dem Spannband 10 verbundenen, aus einem biegesteifen Material (Hartkunststoff) bestehenden Befestigungshaken 9, der zur Herstellung der Verbindung zwischen der Atemschutzmaske 2 und einem Schutzhelm (nicht dargestellt) in eine an dessen Außenseiten vorgesehene Hakenaufnahmetasche (nicht dargestellt) eingehängt werden kann. Die Breite der Hakenaufnahmetasche ist größer als die des Befestigungshakens 9, so dass dieser ohne Mühe in die Aufnahmetasche eingeführt werden kann.The holding device further comprises a connected to the strap 10, made of a rigid material (hard plastic) existing hooks 9 (not shown) for establishing the connection between the respirator 2 and a protective helmet in a provided on the outer sides hook receiving pocket (not shown) can be hung. The width of the hook receiving pocket is greater than that of the fastening hook 9, so that it can be easily inserted into the receiving pocket.

Die Verbindung zwischen dem Befestigungshaken 9 und dem Spannband 10 erfolgt über ein an den Befestigungshaken 9 anschließendes Griffstück 14, in das eine Ausnehmung 15 eingeformt ist, und das an dem Spannband 10 angeformte Haltestück 12, das in der Ausnehmung 15 formschlüssig gehalten ist, und zwar mit am Anschlussstück 12 angeformten Noppen 21, die in Rastöffnungen 22 in den gegenüberliegenden Seitenrändern 16 des Griffstücks 14 eingreifen, sowie mit einer im hinteren Rand des Griffstücks vorgesehenen Schlitzöffnung 20, durch die das Spannband 10 hindurchgeführt ist. Das formschlüssig in die Ausnehmung 15 eingepasste Haltestück 12 ist so dimensioniert, dass es nicht über die Seitenränder 16 der im Griffstück gebildeten Ausnehmung 15 hinausragt bzw. unterhalb der Oberkante der Ausnehmung endet. Die Anschlagelemente 13 ragen jedoch über die Oberkante der Seitenränder 16 hinaus.The connection between the fastening hook 9 and the clamping band 10 via a adjoining the fastening hooks 9 handle 14, in which a recess 15 is formed, and the integrally formed on the clamping band 10 holding piece 12 which is held in a form-fitting manner in the recess 15, namely with molded onto the connecting piece 12 nubs 21 which engage in detent openings 22 in the opposite side edges 16 of the handle 14, and with a provided in the rear edge of the handle slot opening 20 through which the clamping band 10 is passed. The retaining piece 12 fitted in a form-fitting manner into the recess 15 is dimensioned such that it does not protrude beyond the side edges 16 of the recess 15 formed in the grip piece or ends below the upper edge of the recess. However, the stop members 13 protrude beyond the upper edge of the side edges 16.

Am Griffstück 14 sind auf den Seitenrändern 16 der Ausnehmung 15 Gleitschienen 17 ausgebildet, die die Anschlagelemente 13 geringfügig überragen und geringfügig versetzt zu diesen angeordnet sind. Außerdem sind am zum Spannband 10 weisenden Ende des Griffstücks 14 zur Erleichterung des Abnehmens und Einhängens des Befestigungshakens 9, und zwar auch mit Handschuhen, Griffelemente 18 sowie im Bereich des Befestigungshaken 9 Griffelemente 19a, 19b, 19c ausgebildet.On the handle 14 sliding rails 17 are formed on the side edges 16 of the recess 15, which project slightly beyond the stop elements 13 and slightly offset from these are arranged. In addition, on the clamping band 10 facing end of the handle 14 to facilitate the removal and hooking of the fastening hook 9, and also with gloves, handle elements 18 and in the region of the fastening hooks 9 grip elements 19a, 19b, 19c formed.

Beim Anlegen der Atemschutzmaske 2 befinden sich die unteren Enden der Spannbänder 10 im Bereich der Klemmrolle 5 und der Klemmtaste 6, so dass genügend Spielraum zum Einhängen der Befestigungshaken 9 in die Hakenaufnahmetaschen am Schutzhelm (nicht dargestellt) besteht. Anschließend werden die Spannbänder 10 zwischen Klemmtaste und Klemmrolle in Abhängigkeit von der Kopfform und Kopfgröße soweit angezogen, dass der Maskenrand ausreichend dicht und komfortabel am Gesicht anliegt. Dabei gleitet der Befestigungshaken 9 auf den Gleitelementen 17 selbsttätig in die vorgegebene Lage in der Hakenaufnahmetasche. Das Spannband 10 ist dabei zwischen Aufnahmetasche und Klemmrolle/Klemmtaste 5, 6 so ausgerichtet, dass die Zugbelastung am oberen Rand des Spannbandes 10 größer als am unteren Rand ist. Diese Position bzw. Belastung des Spannbandes 10 hat sich als vorteilhaft für einen komfortablen und gasdichten Sitz der Atemschutzmaske erwiesen. Bei einer frontalen Kraftwirkung auf die Atemschutzmaske, zum Beispiel beim Anstoßen an ein Hindernis in engen Räumen, kann sich der Befestigungshaken 9 aufgrund der Flexibilität des Spannbandes 10 in Verbindung mit den aus dem Haltestück 12 des Spannbandes 10 ragenden gummielastischen Anschlagelementen 13 nicht aus der Hakenaufnahmetasche am Schutzhelm lösen. Wenn beim Anstoßen an die Atemschutzmaske über das flexible Spannband 10 dennoch eine Kraftwirkung auf den Befestigungshaken 9 ausgeübt wird, wird dessen Bewegung durch die Anschlagelemente 13 verhindert, und zwar formschlüssig an einer Kante der Hakenaufnahmetasche und reibschlüssig aufgrund des gummielastischen Materials.When putting on the respirator 2, the lower ends of the tension straps 10 are in the region of the pinch roller 5 and the clamping button 6, so that there is sufficient scope for hanging the hooks 9 in the hook receiving pockets on the helmet (not shown). Subsequently, the clamping bands 10 between the clamping button and pinch roller depending on the head shape and head size are tightened enough that the mask edge rests sufficiently dense and comfortable on the face. In this case, the fastening hook 9 slides on the sliding elements 17 automatically in the predetermined position in the hook receiving pocket. The strap 10 is between receiving pocket and pinch roller / clamp button 5, 6 aligned so that the tensile load at the top of the clamping band 10 is greater than at the bottom. This position or load of the tension band 10 has proven to be advantageous for a comfortable and gas-tight fit of the respirator. In a frontal force acting on the respirator, for example, when struck an obstacle in confined spaces, the mounting hook 9 due to the flexibility of the tension band 10 in connection with the projecting from the retaining piece 12 of the tension band 10 rubber elastic stop elements 13 can not from the hook receiving pocket on Loosen the protective helmet. If a force is exerted on the fastening hooks 9 when abutting the respirator mask via the flexible tensioning band 10, its movement is prevented by the abutment elements 13, namely positively on an edge of the hook receiving pocket and frictionally locked due to the rubber-elastic material.
