Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ventilated cooling and protective garment with facial shield integrated therein, said protective garment being connected to an air supply which supplies air producing a cooling effect on the user body by providing a fresh air flow between the protective garment and the user body, and evacuating the heat produced by the user.
  • At least part of the air supplied by the air supply passes through a facial inner space comprised between the facial shield and the face of the user, introducing breathable air therein free of environmental hazards, helping the user to evacuate heat by breathing fresh air, producing a cooling effect on its face by the impingement of a fresh air flow against the skin, and also preventing the creation of fog in the protective facial shield.
  • This equipment can be used to protect a user from environmental hazards such toxics, infections, air suspended particles, etc, and is especially suited for hospital environments.

  • the present invention is directed towards a ventilated cooling and protective garment with facial shield comprising:
  • the proposed invention includes a protective garment which includes an outer layer made of an air impermeable material, which completely prevents the pass of air therethrough, or air semi-impermeable material which mostly prevents the pass of air therethrough when the pressure difference between both sides is less than 10%, only permitting negligible passage of air.
  • the protective garment can be made of a woven textile or a non-woven textile with a hydrophobic, anti-microbial and/or anti-bacterial treatment.
  • the protective garment includes a body portion, intended to contain at least part of the body of a user, and a hood portion connected to said body portion and intended to cover the head of said user.
  • said body portion Because the body portion is connected to the hood portion, said body portion contains at least parts of the body of the user adjacent to the head of the user contained in the hood portion.
  • the body portion of the protective garment is a complete body portion
  • the entire body of the user with the exception of the head contained in the hood portion, can be contained in said complete body portion, including neck, torso and limbs.
  • the body portion is a partial body portion
  • only a part of the body of the user is contained in said partial body portion of the protective garment, including at least the neck of the user and preferably also its torso or part thereof. Portions of the limbs can be also contained within the partial body portion.
  • the partial body portion will include in addition to the connection with the hood portion, body part openings each surrounded by an annular body part tight seal.
  • Each body part opening is intended to allow the passage of a body part therethrough, and the annular body part tight seal is intended to compress the perimeter of the body part opening against the body part passing through said body part opening providing an air tight seal, allowing a slight pressurization of the interior of the body portion of the protective garment, containing body parts of the user, when the protective garment is worn by said user.
  • Said body part opening can be, for example, a limb opening such an arm or a leg opening, a chest opening, a waist opening or a hip opening, a wrist opening or an ankle opening.
