Definitions
- This invention relates to breathing apparatus for respiratory protection of civilians and combatants.
- the neck seal of the hood which forms an integral part of the breathing apparatus, may be sealed by a draw string (W082/02492, EPO275934A2) but much inward leakage of the noxious external atmosphere takes place past this type of seal.
- An elasticated septal neck seal (GB2129670A) allows less leakage but the leakage may be further reduced by having a positive pressure inside the hood.
- a positive pressure may be achieved by passing exhaled gas to the hood space (GB2211098A, GB2164570A) but such designs are defective because the moisture in the exhaled gas impairs vision.
- exhaled gas is passed into a chamber between a hood and an inner flexible membrane attached to the hood.
- Positive pressure breathing apparatus is well known (GB 1587121, GB 2074456A).
- a reservoir is described between two hoods and it differs from GB 2074456A in that complex pressure reducing valves are not required.
- a positive pressure is achieved by passing dry gas under pressure and at constant flow directly into the hood space reservoir. There is virtually no inward leakage past the neck seal if the hood space remains at positive pressure and this is ensured if the volume of the reservoir is in excess of the breathing volume of the wearer and if the inlet and outlet valves are set at appropriate opening pressures.
- the present invention discloses breathing apparatus having a reservoir, in the hood space between inner and outer hoods, filled with dry breathable gas to prevent misting and under positive pressure to prevent inward leakage; having the inner hood elasticated to support the conveyance means, to pull it onto the face and to secure a good fit, and having an open circuit with one way valves to ensure that there is high performance with very low dead space and high efficiency.
- breathing apparatus to provide respiratory protection has an outer hood, an inner hood, a reservoir at positive pressure, a breathable gas source and a mask with one way valves in a circuit system such that:
- figure 1 shows the breathing apparatus as worn by a subject and having the component parts numbered as above.
- the breathing apparatus is donned by stretching the opening 3 of the neck seal 2 and pulling the outer hood 1 over the head. This is attached 13 to the inner hood 7 which is therefore also pulled onto the head.
- the closely fitting inner hood 7 is also attached to the rim 6 of the conveyance means or mask 4 which is correctly positioned by the act of donning the hood 7 with the opening 14 at the front.
- the breathable gas source 11 is activated manually by the switch 12 and fills the reservoir 8 with breathable gas under pressure. On inspiration, breathable gas is sucked in through the inlet valve 9 and the cavity 5 of the mask 4 to the lungs. On expiration, exhaled gas passes through the cavity 5 of the mask 4 and the outlet valve 10 to the external ambient atmosphere 15. Positive pressure in the reservoir 8 is maintained by an appropriate setting for the opening pressure of one or other or both of the valves 9 and 10.
- the outer hood may be fire proof; the entire outer hood or only a part of it may be transparent; a draw string may be fitted round the neck; the conveyance means may be a mouth piece, oro nasal mask, full face mask; the inner hood may be elasticated in more than one dimension; the inner hood attachment to the conveyance means rim may be direct or indirect and may be complete or incomplete; the conveyance means rim may be shaped to the face and nose; the breathable gas may be air, oxygen or mixed gas, compressed or chemically generated; a reducing valve may be required between the compressed gas cylinder and the reservoir; a relief valve may be required to prevent over pressurization of the reservoir; release of gas may be activated manually, automatically or on demand; there may be two eye openings with a central part or cord to prevent deformation of the opening or openings; there may be a plurality of inlet and outlet valves; the inner hood may support and carry the breathable gas source and container; an external or remote gas source may be added; the
