  • Example of cleanrooms are: packaging facilities for medicine items and manufacturing plants for microelectronic products, such as microchips.
  • the known cleanroom gowns comprise a hood having a visor opening.
  • the visor is usually strapped around the head and is in the form of a goggle.
  • the goggles are difficult to manipulate and tend to not seal the head completely off the outside.
  • goggles are not comfortable to wear by an operator and tend to get foggy.
  • the present invention intends to overcome one or more of these drawbacks and to create a hood for a cleanroom gown which has a high operational security.
  • the hood should also ascertain a clear vision and should be comfortable to wear for the operator. Furthermore, the hood should be easy to clean. The hood should also be economic.
  • the object of the invention is a hood for cleanroom gown according to claim 1 as well as a cleanroom gown according to claim 11.
  • Figure 1 shows a schematic outside view of the cleanroom gown according to the invention.
  • the cleanroom gown has the general reference number 2.
  • the cleanroom gown comprises a body portion 4 and a hood 6, as well as non represented arms and legs.
  • the hood 6 comprises a base body 8.
  • the base body 8 is preferably formed integrally with the body portion 4 of the gown.
  • the cleanroom gown comprises a body portion and a hood, whereby the hood is separate, i.e. detached, from the body portion.
  • the body portion is in the form of a coat.
  • the hood 6 defines a hood central axis X-X, which extends substantially vertical or along the central axis of the head, when the hood is used by an operator.
  • the base body 8 confines an inside I adapted to receive a head 10 of an operator and delimits the inside with respect to an outside O (see Figure 3 ).
  • the base body 8 has also a visor opening 12.
  • the visor opening 12 is substantially rectangular and extends in front of a region of the eyes of the operator when the hood 6 is worn.
  • the visor opening 12 defines a visor opening circumference 14, which is the circumference of the visor opening 12 seen from the outside O.
  • the hood 6 comprises furthermore a visor 16 and fixing means 18 adapted for releasably fixing the visor 16 to the base body 8 over the visor opening 12.
  • the visor 16 is a transparent plate which is, in a non constraint configuration, completely flat or plane.
  • the general shape of the visor 16 is rectangular with rounded corners and having a concave cut out 20 in one of the longer sides of the rectangle. The cut out 20 extends over the nose of the operator when the hood 6 is worn.
  • the visor 16 has a visor circumference 22.
  • the visor 16 is integrally made, in particular in one piece, from plastic such as polycarbonate. Alternatively, the visor 16 is made from any other material usable for cleanroom use.
  • the visor 16 is flexible and can be bent elastically into a concave shape.
  • the fixing means 18 are adapted to fix the visor 16 to the base body 8 substantially along the visor circumference 22 and in particular substantially along the complete visor circumference 22.
  • the fixing means 18 are adapted to fix the visor 16 to the base body 8 along substantially the whole visor opening circumference 14.
  • the fixing means 18 comprise a fixing groove 24 extending around the visor opening 12 and adapted to receive the visor circumference 22, in particular adapted to receive the whole visor circumference 22.
  • the fixing groove 24 has an upper fixing groove part 24U, a lower fixing groove part 24LO, and two lateral side fixing groove parts 24LA.
  • the fixing means 18 define an insertion opening 26 ( figure 4 ) and closing means 28 or fastening means adapted to close the insertion opening 26. In the fastened state of the closing means, the insertion opening 26 is closed and forms part of the fixing groove 24.
  • the closing means 28 comprise press snap buttons 30.
  • the closing means 28 can comprise a zipper and/or a hook-and-pile fastener (Velcro ® fastener) or any other closing means that can be closed and re-opened in a non destructive and reversible manner.
  • the insertion opening 26 and the closing means 28 are arranged on a lateral side of the visor opening 12 and extend substantially parallel to the hood central axis X-X.
  • the fixing means 18 are adapted to allow an insertion and/or retraction of the visor 16 into/from the position in which the visor 16 is fixed to the base body 8 over the visor opening 12 by sliding. This can be seen on figure 4 .
  • the closing means 28 are unfastened, the insertion opening 26 is open and the visor 16 is insertable through the insertion opening 26 into the fixing groove 24 by a sliding movement.
  • the base body 8 comprises abutments 32 for the visor 16.
  • the abutments 32 are adapted to maintain the visor 16 in a pre-stressed bent configuration around the central axis X-X when the fixing means 18 fix the visor to the base body 8.
  • the visor 16 is essentially in a part cylindrical shape.
  • the abutments 32 are on one side defined by the bottom of the fixing groove 24 and on the opposite side by the closing means 28.
  • the two abutments 32 are spaced apart an effective width WB, which is smaller than an effective width WV of the visor 16 when in the non constraint configuration. Consequently, when the closing means 28 are closed, the visor 16 is held in the pre-stressed bent configuration.
  • the hood 6 has an ergonomic shape and is comfortable to wear.
  • the base body 8 comprises also one upper cushion 40 arranged on a forehead part of the base body 6.
