COMBINED HELMET AND FACE-PROTECTOR- Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented. April 3, 1906.
Application filed July 17. 1905 Serial No. 270,093.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, SAMUEL JOHN LAVIS, of the town of Bowmanville, in the county of Durham, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Helmet and-Face- Protector, ofwhich the following is the specification.
My invention relates to improvements in a combined helmet and face-protector; and the object of the invention is to devise a simple, strong, durable, and efficient protection for the head and face particularly adapted for the use of firemen and others subjected to the dangers of smoke, fumes, heat, fire, and the like; and it consists, essentially, in the features, combination, and arrangement of parts hereinafter described, and particularly set forth in the claims.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my helmet, showin the method of adjustin it on the head. ig. 2 is a cross-sectiona view through the center of the nose piece and tank.
In the drawings like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.
A is the crown.
B is the tank, and C is a channel of rubber or like material leading from the said tank to the nose-piece D.
E is a spark or water shield attached to the rear of the helmet by a hook and eye or other similar device.
F is the face-piece, connected to the crown by hinges G G, and H is a strap securely fastened to the rear of the crown and suitably adj ustably connected to the face-piece F.
M represents the eyeholes, with mica or other suitable diaphanous eyepieces M held lseicurely to the face-piece by screws M or the C is a spiral-spring covering for the channel O, thereby protecting it from the destroying influences of heat, flame, and the like, at the same time su plying a hard, strong, durable, and flexib le outer covering for the channel.
D D are s onges within the combined nose and mout piece D, held apart by rods D which allow the fluid from the tank to flow down and well over the surface of the sponges, respectively.
L is a covering for the nose'and mouth piece, held thereto by means of the hooked ds of the handle or rod L and L is a slidshutter provided with portions N, projectin outwardly through the outer covering L an by means of which the shutter is moved.
L represents openings in the shutter, which correspond when the shutter is in its upper position to the holes L in the outer covering and provide means for regulating the airsupp y in accordance with the state of the surrounding media.
I is a'shutter on the side of the nose and mouth piece D, free to slide in guideways P, and allows direct passage of air to the o erator. Thus it is seen that avery fine ad iuStment of the air-passage to the operator is easily obtainable by means of shutters provided on the front and the sides of the nose.
R is a suitable adjustable air-valve allowing atmospheric pressure into the tank, thus causing the fluid therein to flow more easily when required. 'An 0 ening A with a cap or covering is supplie in the crown, through which the liquid is poured into the tank B. The inner surface of the helmet is covered with a felt lining ,T or the like, which serves further to protect the wearer from extremes of heat and also forms a padding for the face and head.
A suitable handleA is attached, whereby the helmet may be conveniently carried.
To those more directly subjected to flame ear-protectors may be sup lied extending from the face-piece, which a though not impcding sound will amply fulfil the purpose ior which they are designed.
WVith such a combined helmet and faceprotector as I have herein described it will be seen that an important advancement has been made in regard to the method of protection in the form of head-gearing for those subj ected to such forms of danger and a long-felt want finally and successfully overcome.
What I claim as my invention is 1. In a combined helmet and face-protector, the combination with a crown, of a tank in the upper portion thereof, a face-piece hinged to said crown, having suitable eyeholes therein, an inner channel connecting said tank to the nose-piece, an outer flexible spiral-spring covering for said channel, and means for admitting and regulating the airsupply to the wearer as and for the purpose specified. I
2. In a combined helmet and'facerote'ctor, the combination with the crown avin a tank therein, of a face-piece hinged to sai d crown, and having suitable eyeholes therein,
a suitably-formed nose-piece on said facepiece, a perforated covering for the nosepiece, a correspondinglyerforated shutter sliding under and within t e covering, means for manipulating said sliding shutter, and a flexible channel connecting the tank to the noseiece as and for the purpose specified.
3. n a combined helmet and face-protector, the combination with the crown portion having a tank therein, of a faceieoe hinged to said crown, and having suita le eyeholes therein, a suitably-formed nose-piece on said face-piece, a perforated covering for the nosepiece, a correspondinglyerforated shutter sliding under and within t e covering, means for manipulating said sliding shutter and supplemental air-valves on the sides of the nose-piece as and for the purpose specified.
4. In a combined helmet and face-protector, the combination with the crown portion, of a tank secured therein, a faceiece hinged to said crown; a flexible channe connecting the tank to the nose-piece of said face-piece, means for admitting and regulating the air supply to the wearer and rods fastened with specified.
