Definitions
- the invention is based on a respiratory protection mask for the respiratory protection of a mask wearer, with a mask body and at least one filter for filtering a fluid, preferably air, flowing through the mask and / or the mask body.
- Filtering half masks are a mask and filter in one.
- the filter can usually not be replaced. Rather, these half masks are completely disposed of after use or when the filter is exhausted.
- Half masks are usually relatively light and comfortable to wear and have a relatively large filter surface and are relatively hygienic. It is disadvantageous that conventional half masks are overall somewhat more expensive to use than full masks and are usually not suitable for filtering gaseous pollutants.
- Half masks are often used as occupational safety, e.g. in the medical field to protect against infections, but also e.g. when working with dust, wood, fiberglass or concrete, have a mask body, usually made of rubber or silicone, and encompass the mouth and nose of a mask wearer .
- one or two filter cartridges can be attached to the mask body.
- a half mask of the type mentioned is known from DE 40 17336 Ci.
- the known half mask has a half mask body with a sealing edge which is inserted into a filter holder.
- a filter is attached to the filter holder in the mouth area.
- the filter holder extends from the mouth area to the cheek area of the half-mask body and rests freely on the half-mask body. Inhalation takes place through an inhalation valve, and exhalation runs through an exhalation valve, which is buttoned into the half-mask body in the chin area.
- a strap with which the half mask can be attached to the head of an equipment wearer is fastened in an eyelet of the filter holder.
- the tightness between the oral cavity and the environment is determined by the geometry and rigidity of the sealing edge, the flexibility of the half mask body and the lateral support of the half mask body by the filter holder.
- a soft mask body or soft sealing edge increases the wearing comfort, but worsens the mechanical Stability, while a high degree of rigidity of the mask body or the sealing edge when wearing the half mask is perceived as uncomfortable.
- the filter holder resting on the half mask body in the cheek area only brings about a certain lateral stabilization of the half mask body, while there is no direct interaction between the filter holder and the sealing edge, which is decisive for the tightness of the half mask.
- a half mask known from GB-PS 761 263 consists of a flexible half mask body in which a filter holder with a filter is inserted in the mouth area.
- a wire helix is vulcanized into the mask body in order to give the sealing edge a corresponding rigidity.
- the wire helix can be roughly adapted to the face contour of the mask wearer.
- standardized masks with CE marking can protect against respirable dusts and liquid mists within their respective area of application.
- they can have layers, for example with a meltblown Vhes, with an electrostatic material. Small dust particles and drops of liquid can be bound in the filter by electrostatic forces.
- the electrostatic effect is quickly lost through exhaled moist air and dust accumulation. Tests have shown that the static charge is lost after just two hours of wear, among other things due to moisture that collects in the mask fabric. Even if the mask is dried, for example in an oven, the mask function can no longer be established. It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a mask which overcomes these disadvantages and whose electrostatic filtering effect lasts longer.
- the filter effect of the mask according to the invention can be improved.
- the present invention is characterized in that the at least one filter has at least one or more of activated carbon, UV filter and / or UV radiator, filter fleece, electrical and / or electrostatic filter, membrane filter and / or particle filter.

- the filter and / or the electrical filter and / or electrostatic filter can have a grid.
- the grid can preferably have a metal, particularly preferably copper, brass, silver, gold and / or combinations thereof.

It can be provided that the flow sensor has a second contact which is arranged in such a way that it is contacted by the swivel panel when there is a flow through the filter in the opposite direction (e.g. an outflow). The flow sensor can thus detect different flow directions in a simple manner and communicate with the control unit.
