Definitions

  • the exhaust fan creates excessive strain, and therefore fatigue, in the neck of the user because the exhaust fan is spaced away from the neck of the user.
  • the subject invention also incorporates at least two helmet air exits, preferably a front and rear air helmet air exit for distributing air from the air flow channel toward the head of the user. More specifically, the front and rear air exits are disposed at the front and rear sections of the helmet assembly, respectively. The front and rear air exits are in fluid communication with the air flow channel and the air outlets. The front air exit distributes air from the air flow channel toward a front, or face, of the head of the user, and the rear air exit distributes air from the air flow channel toward a back, or neck, of the head of the user. As such, a single fan is utilized to distribute air toward both the face and the neck of the user. The air outlet or outlets of the scroll housing completely balance the air flow about the head of the user between the front and rear air exits.
  • a front and rear air helmet air exits are disposed at the front and rear sections of the helmet assembly, respectively.
  • the front and rear air exits are in fluid communication with the air flow channel and the air outlets.
  • the front air exit distributes
  • the fan is disposed at the rear section of the base section of the helmet assembly, the fan is not spaced away from the user's neck and strain and fatigue in the user is minimized.
  • the subject invention further includes a face shield mounted to the head portion of the gown to cover the facial opening. As such, the user can view through the head portion of the gown.
  • the face shield includes either a mounting mechanism or a first visual indicator.
  • the subject invention incorporates at least one air bleed valve 82 in the scroll housing 48 to influence the amount, or the volume, of air flowing into the air flow channel 26 from each of the air outlets 66. It is to be understood that, although there is only one air bleed valve 82 shown in Figure 4 , the subject invention may alternatively incorporate more than one air bleed valve.
  • the air bleed valve 82 influences the volume of air flowing to the rear air exit 78 thereby affecting the volume of air flowing to the rear air exit78 that is distributed primarily toward the back of the head 14 of the user.
  • the mounting mechanism 108 is preferably centered on the face shield 96.
  • the mounting mechanism 108 supports the face shield 96 on the helmet assembly 12.
  • the mounting mechanism 108 is an aperture 110 formed within the face shield 96. The function of the mounting mechanism 108, the aperture 110, will be described further below.
  • the fan 50 rotates at 2000 RPM.
  • the controller 118 selectively activates and deactivates the power supply 70 in a 30 : 70 ratio. That is, the controller 118 turns the power supply 70 ON 30% of the time and OFF 70% of the time.
  • first and second ends can be manipulated toward each other even if the first end 144 is fixed and the second end 146 is the only end of the strap 142 that is manipulated, i.e., moved, by the adjustment device 154, or even if the second end 146 is fixed and the first end 144 is the only end of the strap 142 that is manipulated, i.e., moved, by the adjustment device 154.
  • said assembly may include a front air exit disposed at said front section of said base section for distributing air from said air flow channel toward a front of the head of the user, and a rear air exit disposed at said rear section of said base section for distributing air from said air flow channel toward a back of the head of the user.
  • an intake grid mounted to said outer shell may be included such that said gown covers said intake grid to operate as said filter medium for filtering air drawn into said scroll housing.
  • said intake grid may further include a top surface spaced from said outer shell for retaining said filter medium away from said outer shell.
  • said intake grid may be contoured to said outer shell between said front section and said rear section of said base section to maximize an effective intake area for said filter medium to filter air drawn into said scroll housing.
