Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schutzanzug nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, wie ein Feuerwehrschutzanzug oder ein Schutzanzug für die Verwendung bei Arbeiten in einer kontaminierten Umgebung, wie beispielsweise ein Chemieschutzanzug. Der Schutzanzug weist eine Kopfhaube auf, an der eine Sichtscheibe eingelassen ist. Zudem ist eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung vorgesehen, mittels der ein durch die Sichtscheibe für einen Benutzer erzeugtes Sichtfeld wenigstens teilweise ausgeleuchtet werden kann. Dabei weist die Beleuchtungseinrichtung Leuchtmittel auf, die an der Sichtscheibe positioniert sind.The invention relates to a protective suit according to the preamble of claim 1, such as a firefighting suit or protective suit for use in working in a contaminated environment, such as a chemical protective suit. The protective suit has a hood on which a viewing window is embedded. In addition, a lighting device is provided, by means of which a field of view generated by the viewing window for a user can be at least partially illuminated. In this case, the illumination device has lighting means which are positioned on the viewing window.

Derzeit sind Schutzanzüge bekannt, bei denen zum Ausleuchten eines Arbeitsbereiches handelsübliche Lampen, wie insbesondere Stabtaschenlampen verwendet werden. Um dabei die Hände des Benutzers für sonstige Arbeiten frei zu halten, werden an den Schutzanzügen Haltevorrichtungen vorgesehen, an denen die Lampen während der Verwendung festgelegt werden können, wie beispielsweise in einem seitlichen Bereich der Kopfhaube.At present, protective suits are known in which commercially available lamps, in particular pocket flashlights, are used for illuminating a working area. In order to keep the hands of the user free for other work, holding devices are provided on the protective suits, on which the lamps can be fixed during use, such as in a lateral region of the hood.

Nachteilig an derartigen Beleuchtungseinrichtungen ist, dass sie vom übrigen Schutzanzug abstehen und somit bei einem Einsatz leicht mit am jeweiligen Einsatzort vorhandenen Gegenständen verkanten können. Zudem kann das jeweilige Sichtfeld des Benutzers mit einer derartigen Beleuchtungseinrichtung häufig nur unzureichend ausgeleuchtet werden, da sich der erzeugte Lichtkegel relativ zum Sichtfeld bewegt oder Schatten erzeugt werden. Ferner ist es bei vielen Anwendungsarten des Schutzanzuges erforderlich, die Beleuchtungseinrichtung beziehungsweise deren Stromversorgung, zusätzlich gegenüber der jeweiligen Umgebung abzuschirmen, um beispielsweise einen Ausfall oder eine Explosionsgefahr zu vermeiden. Darüber hinaus ist das Befestigen und Abnehmen derartiger Beleuchtungseinrichtungen relativ aufwändig und muss häufig von einer weiteren Person vorgenommen werden.A disadvantage of such lighting devices is that they protrude from the rest of the protective suit and thus can easily tilt in use with existing objects at each site. In addition, the respective field of view of the user can often be insufficiently illuminated with such a lighting device, since the light cone generated moves relative to the field of view or shadows are generated. Furthermore, in many types of application of the protective suit, it is necessary to additionally shield the lighting device or its power supply from the respective environment in order, for example, to avoid a failure or a risk of explosion. In addition, the attachment and detachment of such lighting devices is relatively complex and must often be made by another person.

US 2007/0028372 A1 beschreibt einen Schutzanzug, insbesondere für medizinisches Personal, der an einer Sichtscheibe eine Beleuchtungseinheit aufweist. Die Beleuchtungseinheit ist dabei an einem Stirnband gehalten, das unter einer Kopfhaube getragen wird. US 2007/0028372 A1 describes a protective suit, in particular for medical personnel, which has a lighting unit on a viewing window. The lighting unit is held on a headband, which is worn under a hood.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, bei einem gattungsgemäßen Schutzanzug die genannten Nachteile zu vermeiden und ein verbessertes Ausleuchten des Sichtfeldes sowie ein störungsfreies Tragen derselben zu ermöglichen.The object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages mentioned in a generic protective suit and to allow improved illumination of the field of view and a trouble-free wearing the same.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Schutzanzug mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Hiernach ist die Sichtscheibe über eine Rahmenvorrichtung mit einem Haubenmaterial der übrigen Kopfhaube verbunden, wie beispielsweise einem mehrschichtigen Material mit einer außen liegenden Schicht aus einem flammen-oder chemikalienhemmenden Material. Dabei weist die Beleuchtungseinrichtung Befestigungsmittel zur Festlegung an der Rahmenvorrichtung auf. Auf diese Weise kann die Beleuchtungseinrichtung wenigstens in dem Bereich, der die Leuchtmittel aufweist, an einem starren Teil des Schutzanzuges befestigt werden, wodurch sie während der Anwendung eine stabilere Position einnimmt und dadurch auch der Lichtkegel positionsstabiler im Sichtfeld des Benutzers gehalten werden kann. Hierdurch kann der durch die Beleuchtungseinrichtung ausleuchtbare Bereich optimal auf das durch die Sichtscheibe begrenzte Sichtfeld abgestimmt werden, was dem Benutzer auch bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen am jeweiligen Einsatzort eine verbesserte Sicht ermöglicht. Die Leuchtmittel können dabei durch ein einzelnes Leuchtelement, wie beispielsweise eine Glühbirne, eine Leuchtstoffröhre oder eine LED oder durch mehrere derartige Leuchtelemente gebildet sein.This object is achieved by a protective suit having the features of claim 1. Thereafter, the lens is connected via a frame device with a hood material of the remaining hood, such as a multilayer material with an outer layer of a flame or chemical-resistant material. In this case, the illumination device on fastening means for fixing to the frame device. In this way, the illumination device can be attached to a rigid part of the protective suit at least in the region comprising the light sources, whereby it occupies a more stable position during use and thereby also the light cone can be held positionally stable in the field of vision of the user. As a result, the area illuminatable by the illumination device can be optimally tuned to the field of vision which is limited by the viewing pane, which allows the user an improved view even in poor lighting conditions at the respective place of use. The lighting means may be formed by a single light-emitting element, such as a light bulb, a fluorescent tube or an LED or by a plurality of such lighting elements.

Dabei ist es günstig, wenn die Beleuchtungseinrichtung ein Gehäuse aufweist, das über eine Schraubverbindung an der Rahmenvorrichtung festlegbar ist. Hierdurch ist die Beleuchtungseinrichtung besonders leicht montierbar und kann auch einfach wieder vom Schutzanzug entfernt werden, beispielsweise falls sie nicht benötigt wird.It is advantageous if the illumination device has a housing which can be fixed to the frame device via a screw connection. As a result, the lighting device is particularly easy to install and can also be easily removed from the suit, for example, if it is not needed.

Vorteilhafterweise ist das Gehäuse an einer Innenseite der Sichtscheibe gehalten ist und bildet eine Aufnahme für die Leuchtmittel. Hierbei sind die Leuchtmittel teilweise von einem Blendschutz umschlossen. Durch diese Positionierung innerhalb des Schutzanzuges, wird die Beleuchtungseinheit in gleichem Maße wie der Benutzer selbst gegenüber der Umgebung abgeschirmt und muss daher keine eigene Abschirmung gegenüber schädlichen Einflüssen der Umgebung aufweisen, die beispielsweise durch Hitze, Feuchtigkeit oder durch chemische Kontaminationen hervorgerufen sein können. Durch den Blendschutz kann dabei sichergestellt werden, dass der Benutzer nicht selbst durch die Leuchtmittel geblendet wird.Advantageously, the housing is held on an inner side of the viewing window and forms a receptacle for the lighting means. Here, the bulbs are partially enclosed by a glare shield. As a result of this positioning within the protective suit, the lighting unit is shielded from the environment to the same extent as the user himself and therefore does not need to have his own shielding against harmful environmental influences, which may be caused for example by heat, moisture or chemical contamination. By glare protection can be ensured that the user is not blinded by the light itself.

Zudem ist es günstig, wenn die Leuchtmittel mittels eines Helligkeitssensors aktivierbar sind. Auf diese Weise schaltet sich die Beleuchtungseinrichtung selbsttätig zu, falls die am Einsatzort vorhandene Lichtstärke einen vorbestimmten Wert unterschreitet. Hierdurch muss der Benutzer von sich aus während des Einsatzes keine eigenen Handlungen vornehmen, um eine ausreichende Beleuchtung seines Arbeitsbereiches aufrecht zu erhalten.In addition, it is favorable if the lighting means can be activated by means of a brightness sensor. In this way, the lighting device automatically turns on, if the existing light intensity at the site falls below a predetermined value. As a result, the user does not have to do anything of his own during the operation in order to maintain adequate illumination of his work area.

Vorteilhafterweise ist zudem eine Lichtstärke der Leuchtmittel in Abhängigkeit von einer durch den Helligkeitssensor ermittelten Umgebungslichtstärke gesteuert. Auf diese Weise kann die Beleuchtungseinrichtung während des Betriebes selbsttätig auf eine jeweils vorbestimmte Lichtstärke eingestellt werden, wodurch einerseits eine gleichmäßig gute Sicht des Benutzers und andererseits ein optimierter Energieverbrauch ermöglicht wird.Advantageously, in addition, a light intensity of the lighting means is controlled as a function of an ambient light intensity determined by the brightness sensor. In this way, the illumination device can be set automatically during operation to a respective predetermined light intensity, whereby on the one hand a consistently good view of the user and on the other hand, an optimized energy consumption is possible.

Ferner ist es günstig, wenn die Leuchtmittel wenigstens eine LED aufweisen. Hierdurch kann eine besonders hohe Langlebigkeit und ein sehr niedriger Energieverbrauch während des Betriebes der Beleuchtungseinrichtung gewährleistet werden.Furthermore, it is favorable if the lighting means have at least one LED. As a result, a particularly high longevity and a very low energy consumption during operation of the lighting device can be ensured.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist die wenigstens eine LED dabei in das Gehäuse eingegossen, wodurch diese besonders gut gegen mechanische Beanspruchungen oder Feuchtigkeit geschützt werden kann.In a further advantageous embodiment, the at least one LED is cast into the housing, whereby it can be particularly well protected against mechanical stresses or moisture.

Zudem ist es in jedem Fall günstig, wenn die elektrische Stromversorgung über eine an der Innenseite des Schutzanzuges gehaltene Batterieanordnung erfolgt, wodurch auch die Stromversorgung mittels des Schutzanzuges selbst gegenüber schädlichen Beaufschlagungen durch beispielsweise Hitze, Feuchte oder chemische Kontaminationen geschützt ist.In addition, it is advantageous in any case, when the electrical power supply via a held on the inside of the protective suit battery arrangement, whereby the power supply by means of the protective suit itself is protected against harmful exposures to, for example, heat, moisture or chemical contamination.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist die Batterieanordnung in einer Batterietasche des Schutzanzuges gehalten, wodurch diese besonders einfach ausgewechselt werden kann.In a further advantageous embodiment, the battery assembly is held in a battery bag of the suit, which makes it particularly easy to replace.

In den Figuren ist eine beispielhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung dargestellt. Es zeigen:

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung 2 eines Schutzanzuges 4 in Form eines Feuerwehr- oder Chemieschutzanzuges. Die Beleuchtungseinrichtung 2 weist dabei an einer Sichtscheibe 6, die in eine Kopfhaube 8 des Schutzanzuges 4 eingelassen ist, ein Gehäuse 10 auf, das zur Aufnahme von Leuchtmitteln 12 dient, die beispielhaft durch LEDs gebildet sind. Die LEDs sind dabei zum besseren Schutz gegen Feuchte und mechanische Beanspruchung in das beispielsweise aus Aluminium hergestellte Gehäuse 10 eingegossen. Fig. 1 shows a lighting device 2 of a protective suit 4 in the form of a fire or chemical protective suit. The illumination device 2 in this case has on a viewing window 6, which is embedded in a hood 8 of the protective suit 4, a housing 10 which serves to receive bulbs 12, which are formed by way of example by LEDs. The LEDs are for the better Protection against moisture and mechanical stress in the example made of aluminum housing 10 cast.

Das Gehäuse 10 der Beleuchtungseinrichtung 2 ist dabei an einer Rahmenvorrichtung 14 gehalten, die die Sichtscheibe 6 mit einem Haubenmaterial 16 der übrigen Kopfhaube 8 gasdicht verbindet und gleichzeitig ein Sichtfeld begrenzt, das von einem den Schutzanzug 4 tragenden Benutzer eingesehen werden kann (nicht dargestellt).The housing 10 of the illumination device 2 is held on a frame device 14 which connects the lens 6 with a hood material 16 of the rest of the hood 8 gas-tight and at the same time limits a field of view, which can be viewed by a protective suit 4 user wearing (not shown).

Zur Stromversorgung der Leuchtmittel 12 sind diese über eine auf einer Innenseite des Schutzanzuges 4 verlegte Anschlussleitung 18 mit einer Batterieanordnung 20 verbunden, die wenigstens eine Batterie beziehungsweise eine Akku-Zelle aufweist. Die Batterieanordnung 20 ist dabei in einer Batterietasche 22 gehalten, die ebenfalls auf der Innenseite des Schutzanzuges 4 vorgesehen ist.To power the lamps 12, these are connected via a laid on an inner side of the protective suit 4 connecting cable 18 with a battery assembly 20 having at least one battery or a battery cell. The battery assembly 20 is held in a battery bag 22, which is also provided on the inside of the protective suit 4.

Neben den Leuchtmitteln 12 ist in dem Gehäuse 10 ferner ein Helligkeitssensor 24 vorgesehen. Mittels diesem kann eine an dem jeweiligen Einsatzort vorherrschende Umgebungslichtstärke festgestellt werden, in Abhängigkeit derer eine Lichtstärke der Leuchtmittel 12 angesteuert werden kann.In addition to the lighting means 12, a brightness sensor 24 is also provided in the housing 10. By means of this, an ambient light intensity prevailing at the respective place of use can be ascertained as a function of which a light intensity of the lighting means 12 can be controlled.

Wie aus den Fig. 2 bis 4 zu entnehmen ist, ragt das Gehäuse 10 mit den Leuchtmitteln 12 und dem Helligkeitssensor 24 in eine entsprechend dimensionierte Aufnahme 28, die die Rahmenvorrichtung 14 an einer Innenseite 26 der Sichtscheibe 6 ausbildet. Das Gehäuse 10 ist dabei über eine Schraubverbindung 30 mit der Rahmenvorrichtung 14 verbunden. Als Befestigungsmittel der Schraubverbindung 30 sind dabei beispielhaft zwei Schrauben 32 vorgesehen, die jeweils eine Aufnahmebohrung 34 des Gehäuses 10 durchgreifen und in entsprechende Gewindebohrungen 36 eingeschraubt sind, die in die Rahmenvorrichtung 14 eingelassen sind, wie insbesondere aus Fig. 4 zu entnehmen ist.Like from the Fig. 2 to 4 can be seen, the housing 10 projects with the bulbs 12 and the brightness sensor 24 in a correspondingly sized receptacle 28, which forms the frame device 14 on an inner side 26 of the lens 6. The housing 10 is connected via a screw 30 to the frame device 14. As a fastener of the screw 30 while two screws 32 are exemplified, each pass through a receiving bore 34 of the housing 10 and are screwed into corresponding threaded holes 36 which are embedded in the frame device 14, as in particular Fig. 4 can be seen.

Durch die an der Rahmenvorrichtung 14 vorgesehene Aufnahme 28 und die Gewindebohrungen 36 kann das Gehäuse 10 der Beleuchtungseinrichtung 2 relativ einfach an der Sichtscheibe 6 befestigt oder von dieser entfernt werden. Hierdurch kann der Schutzanzug 4 je nach vorgesehenem Anwendungsfall bedarfsweise mit der Beleuchtungseinrichtung 2 ausgestattet werden.By provided on the frame device 14 receptacle 28 and the threaded holes 36, the housing 10 of the lighting device 2 can be relatively easily attached to the lens 6 or removed from it. hereby can the protective suit 4, if necessary, be equipped with the lighting device 2 depending on the intended application.

Bei der Benutzung des Schutzanzuges 4 durch einen nicht dargestellten Benutzer bleibt die Beleuchtungseinrichtung 2 solange ausgeschaltet wie am Einsatzort eine ausreichende Umgebungslichtstärke herrscht. Sobald diese jedoch unter einen vorbestimmten Wert sinkt, wird dies von dem Helligkeitssensor 24 erkannt, der ein entsprechendes Signal an eine Steuerungseinrichtung (nicht dargestellt) abgibt, die die Leuchtmittel 12 aktiviert.When using the protective suit 4 by a user, not shown, the lighting device 2 remains switched off as long as there is sufficient ambient light intensity at the site. However, as soon as it drops below a predetermined value, this is detected by the brightness sensor 24, which emits a corresponding signal to a control device (not shown), which activates the lighting means 12.

Die Steuerungseinrichtung ist dabei so ausgelegt, dass sie die Lichtstärke der Beleuchtungsmittel 12 in Abhängigkeit von der durch den Helligkeitssensor ermittelten Umgebungslichtstärke steuert.The control device is designed so that it controls the light intensity of the illumination means 12 as a function of the ambient light intensity determined by the brightness sensor.

Die durch die LEDs gebildeten Leuchtmittel 12 erzeugen nun durch die Sichtscheibe 6 hindurch einen Lichtkegel, der sich wenigstens über den Wesentlichen Teil des durch die Rahmenvorrichtung 14 begrenzten Sichtfeldes des Benutzers erstreckt. Dabei wirkt die Aufnahme 28 zusätzlich als Blendschutz, der eine direkte oder an der Innenseite 26 gespiegelte Lichtbeaufschlagung des Benutzers durch die Leuchtmittel 12 verhindert.The light sources 12 formed by the LEDs now generate through the viewing window 6 a cone of light which extends at least over the substantial part of the field of view of the user bounded by the frame device 14. In this case, the receptacle 28 additionally acts as a glare shield, which prevents a direct or mirrored on the inside 26 Lichtbeaufschlagung of the user by the bulbs 12.
