Definitions

  • the invention relates to a breathing mask holding part for holding a breathing half mask. Furthermore, the invention is directed to a respirator arrangement with such a respirator holding part and to a respirator half mask as part of such an respirator arrangement.
  • Respiratory half masks have proven their worth in practice.
  • a disadvantage of the respiratory protection half masks of the prior art is that they often do not lie tightly or not sufficiently close to the wearer of the respiratory protection half mask or to his face. Leakage often occurs when wearing the half-face mask, especially in connection with safety glasses, which can be dangerous or harmful to the health of the wearer.
  • Respiratory half masks with a mask body are known, which is welded to a sealing lip and a reinforcing frame.
  • the reinforcement frame has a protruding tab on each side for fastening headbands.
  • the tabs have cutouts with a rag to unbutton the headbands with holes.
  • the DE 661 719 discloses a mask holding basket in which a mask is detachably arranged. At one edge of the mask-holding basket, slit-like eyelets are arranged, on which fastening straps for binding or hooking behind the neck are attached.
  • the US 2012/0042878 A1 discloses a mask arrangement with a mask outer body and a mask main body, which can be fixed to the mask outer body by means of a coupling element.
  • the mask outer body has two headband threading sections on the side, each of which has four threading cutouts and three deflection bars.
  • a health mask which comprises a carrying element for wearing a mask body.
  • the support body comprises three slots on each side through which a headband can run.
  • a breathing mask which comprises a filter body, headband adjustment means and a headband.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a breathing mask holding part for holding a breathing half mask, which offers the wearer on the one hand a particularly high level of protection, in particular in connection with protective glasses, and on the other hand enables extremely economical or environmentally compatible breathing protection.
  • a corresponding respiratory mask arrangement and respiratory half mask are also to be created.
  • a separate breathing mask holding part is provided for holding a breathing half mask, on which at least one headband can be detachably arranged.
  • the respiratory half mask is also releasably attachable to the respirator holding member.
  • the breathing mask holding part allows the at least one headgear to be fixed extremely securely on the headgear holding devices.
  • a used or used respiratory half mask can be replaced individually, while the respirator holding part can continue to be used. This is extremely environmentally friendly.
  • At least one headband ie exactly one headband, two, three, four, ..., headbands, can be detachably fastened to the frame body or the breathing mask holding part via the headband holding devices.
  • the at least one headgear is thus also interchangeable or replaceable, which is again particularly environmentally friendly.
  • the breathing mask holding part has at least one fastening means, which is in direct or indirect connection with the frame body, for releasably fastening the breathing mask to be held to the frame body or the breathing mask holding part.
  • the at least one fastening means is designed in such a way that a material, non-positive and / or positive connection between the breathing mask holding part and the breathing mask is present or can be achieved.
  • the fastening pin allows the respiratory mask to be securely fixed in place on the respiratory mask holding part.
  • the headband holding devices are each arranged laterally on the frame body.
  • the frame body is rigid in particular there.
  • the frame body is closed in particular in a circumferential direction. It is expedient if the frame body is shaped or designed in such a way that it also allows the wearing of work safety glasses, in particular full-view work safety glasses or temple work safety glasses.
  • the frame body is designed to be flexible or flexible, at least in sections, in a facial area, that is to say an area facing the face of the wearer, in particular in a chin area and / or nose area.
  • a facial area that is to say an area facing the face of the wearer, in particular in a chin area and / or nose area.
  • the frame body has there more resilient or flexible material compared to its other areas.
  • the flexible design in the nose area also allows trouble-free wearing of safety glasses, in particular full-vision safety glasses or temple safety glasses, since the frame body can yield there.
  • the frame body and the headband holding devices are preferably connected to one another in one piece, in particular from at least one plastic material.
  • the breathing mask holding part is preferably designed as a multi-component holding part. It is more preferably designed as a two-component holding part. It is advantageous if the breathing mask holding part is essentially formed from two different plastic materials, which differ in compliance or hardness.
  • the face area of the breathing mask holding part the latter is preferably soft or flexible, at least in sections, while the headband holding devices and the frame body adjacent to the headband holding devices are made to be harder or more rigid in comparison.
  • the frame area itself is made in one piece and is designed as a multi-component frame body. In the face area, this is soft or flexible at least in sections, while in the remaining area it is made harder or more rigid.
  • the retention projections jump forward in particular in a viewing direction of the wearer of the breathing mask holding part.
  • the respirator half mask is preferably particle-filtering or can be used with gases and vapors.
