PROTECTIVE SCREEN

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention refers to a protective screen that minimizes the risk of contamination of the wearer wearing it and, integrating a simple configuration, allows adjustment to the contour of the user's head.

The object of the invention is to offer a device that allows the exchange of the protective sheet, preserving the rest of the elements, namely: the strip and the front support. Likewise, the materials that make up the protective screen make it possible to disinfect it using aggressive chemical agents.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Screens, masks and other devices for covering a user's face are known in the state of the art in order to protect themselves and avoid contamination from the environment and third parties.

In this sense, the use of personal protective equipment is frequently used in risky environments. An example of this is its use in situations of sanitary emergency against viral and bacterial contamination where the recommendations include the use of protective screens that minimize the risk of spread by contact.

However, the known protective screens cater to economically expensive structures that do not allow the protective sheet itself to be replaced and its disposal is necessary, without the feasibility of reusing one of the most expensive parts of the structure, such as the fixing support to the head of the wearer.

Likewise, the complete cleaning and disinfection of known screens is not feasible when the materials that comprise them are rubbers, as are most of the known ones, They are degraded in the presence of aggressive chemical agents such as sodium hypochlorite.

For all of the above, the applicant for the present utility model application detects the need to develop a facial protection device that offers a simple but effective solution for reuse and disinfection at a very low manufacturing cost.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The structure of the protective screen that is recommended in the present invention allows to solve the problems previously exposed, offering a simple and very effective configuration for the protection of a user against external contamination.

Specifically, the protective screen is made up of, at least, three elements: a protective sheet, a strip with closing means at both ends to fit the contour of the user's head and a front support.

In this way, the protective sheet has a few dies that make it possible to suspend it on the front support.

On the other hand, the front support includes connection means for coupling to the strip and suspension elements on which the protective sheet is attached by means of the die-cut elements.

Advantageously, the front support is coupled to the strip by the connection means, thus forming the aforementioned front support an arched frame. In this way, the arched frame formed by the front support generates an ideal surface on which to suspend the protective sheet, forming a necessary free space between the user's face and the inner surface of the protective sheet.

On the other hand, it should be noted that preferably, the strip and the front support are made of a PVC material, while the protective sheet is made of a PET, PVC material or a sun protection material. Advantageously, these materials make it possible to clean them using disinfecting products, such as sodium hypochlorite, without generating the degradation of the materials that make up the protective screen.

That is, the materials of the elements that make up the protective screen of the invention allow its disinfection and, therefore, its use on repeated occasions, guaranteeing the absence of viruses and bacteria.

Likewise, it should be noted that PVC is a flexible material that enables the adjustment of the strip to the contour of the head of the user wearing the protective screen, while the PVC that integrates the front support allows the formation of the arched frame mentioned above.

Finally, it should be noted that the configuration of the protective screen allows the easy exchange of one protective sheet for another as detailed in the section on the preferred embodiment of the invention.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that will be made below and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical embodiment thereof, a set of drawings is included as an integral part of said description. where, by way of illustration and not limitation, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective representation of the protective screen made according to a preferred embodiment of the object herein.

Figure 2.- Shows a representation of the screen of the invention representing the elements that make it up independently, that is, without being assembled.

Figure 3.- Shows a representation of the device of the invention represented in Figure 1, corresponding to a top view.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the reviewed figures, we observe that the protective screen intended for the use and protection of a user is preferably made up of at least the following elements:

- a protective sheet (1) that includes die-cuts (4),

- a strap (2) with closing means at both ends for its adjustment to the contour of the user's head,

- a front support (3) that includes connection means for coupling it to the strip (2) and suspension elements (7) on which the protective sheet (1) is attached,

As represented in figure 3, the front support (3) is coupled on the strip (2) by means of the connection means allowing the formation of an arched frame.

Advantageously, the arched frame of the front support (3) offers the ideal surface for suspending the protective sheet (1), facilitating adequate separation of the protective sheet (1) from the user's face.

Likewise, in figure 3 it is observed that the closing means of the strip (2) are preferably composed of a plurality of tabs (5) arranged at one of the ends of the strip (2) and a plurality of creases ( 6) arranged at the opposite end of the strip (2).

In this way, to enable the closure and regulation of the perimeter of the strip (2) according to the size of the user's head, at least one tab (5) is inserted and fastened to the cleft (6) located at the opposite end of the strip (2). The presence of more than one slit (6) makes it possible to adjust the strip (2) to the contour of the user's head.

On the other hand, in figure 2 it is observed that the strip (2) optionally includes a pad (8) arranged on its internal surface. Thus, when the user places the strip (2) of the protective screen on his head, the pad (8) - made up of a spongy material - is located coincidentally with the area that comes into contact with the front of the user.

On the other hand, in figures 1 and 2 the suspension elements (7) of the front support (3) are represented, which preferably are integrated by clips where the punches (4) present in the protective sheet (1) are anchored , being a simple but very effective configuration to generate a stable set.

Advantageously, the configuration of the invention allows the quick and easy exchange of the used protective sheet (1), replacing it with a new one. It is an agile movement in which the dies (4) of the protective foil (1) used are first removed from the clips of the front support (3) to then introduce the dies (4) of the new protective foil (1) inside the clips of the front support (3). Preferably, the material that integrates the protective sheet (1) is PET that offers greater transparency than other materials.

Finally, it should be noted that the connection means (7) of the front support (3) are preferably integrated by crevices (9) as shown in Figure 2. In this way, the aforementioned creases (9) are coupled to projections (10) present on the external surface of the strip (2), thus being attached to the strip (2) with the front support (3). Advantageously, the extension that the front support (3) has between its crevices (9) is greater than the extension between the projections (10) of the strip (2), whereby the coupling of the front support (3) to the strip (2) allows to form an arched frame to the front support (3), as seen in figure 3.

For all of the above, the protective screen of the invention enables a device of high stability, low cost and long duration due to the possibility of easily replacing the protective sheet (1) and because the disinfection of the set consisting of the protective sheet (1) is feasible. ), the strip (2) and the front support (3).
