Definitions

  • the invention relates to a respiratory protection mask.
  • the invention applies in particular, but not exclusively, to respiratory protection masks capable of filtering solid or liquid particles suspended in the air, and intended for a single use.
  • Respiratory protection masks are used in particular by medical personnel to avoid not only the contamination of a patient by the projection of aerosols emitted by medical personnel, but also to avoid contamination of medical personnel by inhalation of biological agents present in the air, such as viruses.
  • molded masks have the disadvantage of being bulky and take up storage space, unlike foldable masks such as those described in G-A-1556679.
  • the respiratory protection mask ensures a good seal on the face to avoid contamination of the wearer.
  • the mask is easy to put on and remove and provides a better feeling of comfort.
  • the invention provides a respiratory protection mask comprising a porous filter protection piece and a fastening element secured to said piece so as to maintain said piece in front of at least the nose and the mouth of a carrier, the porous part being provided with discrete outer zones on which the fastening element is secured, said mask further comprising a protective strip which is provided along at least a portion of an edge of the protective member, the strip being secured to the protective member on the fastening zones of the fastening element, said fastening element being, on these zones, interposed between the protective piece and the protective strip so that the band covers the fastening element.
  • Figure 1 schematically shows a perspective view of a respiratory protection mask with protective strips according to a first and a second embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 2 schematically shows a perspective view of a respiratory protection mask with a protective strip according to the second embodiment.
  • FIG. 3 schematically represents the upper and lower unassembled elements of a protective mask shown in FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 schematically shows an unassembled element provided with a protective strip in an extended position of a protective mask shown in FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 5 schematically represents a view from above of the protective mask shown in FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 6 schematically represents a view from below of the protective mask represented in FIG. 2.
  • Figures 7 to 9 schematically show a sectional view along the axis AA of a respiratory protection mask according to different embodiments of the protective strip.
  • lower edge and upper edge in relation to the elements define, respectively the nearest edge and the farthest edge of the face, when the mask is worn.
  • the invention proposes a respiratory protection mask, in particular for single use.
  • the mask is designed to retain solid or liquid particles suspended in the air and in particular viruses or bacteria likely to cause diseases such as influenza.
  • the respiratory protection mask 1 comprises a porous protection piece 2 by filtration and a fastening element 3 secured to said part so as to hold said piece in front of at least the nose and the mouth of a carrier.
  • the protective part is formed in particular of two elements 4,5, respectively upper and lower, which are associated with each other so as to be applied respectively facing the nose and the chin of the wearer.
  • Figure 3 illustrates the upper elements 4 and lower 5 and the fastening element 3 before being secured.
  • the combination of elements is made for example by welding such as ultrasonic welding, high frequency laser or heat, sewing, gluing or folding.
  • the lower and upper elements are of trapezoidal shape, three sides of each trapezium being associated two by two to form the protective part, the large base of each trapezium being free to form the upper and lower edges of said room.
  • Such a mask is called foldable type, that is to say that when it is not worn, the mask is substantially flat and is easily stackable.
  • the two trapezoidal elements form a section whose periphery comes into contact with the wearer's face.
  • the elements have the same dimensions so as to be perfectly superimposable.
  • the elements are of different size and / or shape (s).
  • the height of the trapezoidal lower member is greater than the height of the trapezoidal top member, so that the mask covers a larger portion of the chin.
  • the protective piece is formed of three elements associated with each other, two elements being foldable on a central element.
  • Such a type of mask is described in EP-A-814871 .
  • the porous part 2 is provided with discrete outer zones 6, 7 on which the fastening element 3 is secured.
  • the discrete outer zones 6, 7 are placed at the lateral ends of the lower edge 9 of the protective part 2.
  • the mask comprises a protective strip 10 which is provided along at least a portion of an edge 8, 9 of the protection part 2, the strip 10 being secured to the protection part 2 on the securing zones 6,7 of the fastening element 3, said fastening element 3 being, in these areas, interposed between the protection part 2 and the protective strip 10 so that the strip 10 covers the fastening element 3.

  • the strip 10 completely covers the fastening element 3, keeping it along the porous part 2.
  • the mask furthermore comprises a protective strip 10 which is provided along at least part of an edge 8 of the part of FIG. protection 2, said strip being movable between a folded position along said edge and an extended position where it extends beyond said edge so as to extend the protection piece, said fastening element 3 being positioned so as to allow the deployment of the protective strip 10 during the use of the fastening element 3.
  • the protective strip 10 is contiguous to the lower edge 13 of the lower member 5 and is foldable.
  • the protective strip 10 When the protective mask 1 is not worn, the protective strip 10 is in the folded position and at least partially covers the fastening element 3 so as to protect it.
  • the wearer When the mask 1 is worn, the wearer is disposed the fastening element 3 on the back of his head, then driving the protective strip 10 in its deployed position.
  • the protective strip 10 is pressed against the wearer's face, ensuring a close contact between the mask and the wearer's face.
  • This variant makes it possible to reduce as much as possible the possibilities of leaks in the face and to improve the tightness at the level of the face.
  • the respiratory protection mask is thus able to ensure a good seal on the face to avoid contamination of the wearer.
  • the fastening element is easily gripped because of its positioning on the outside of the protective mask and the arrangement of the protective strip of said element.
