Definitions

  • the invention relates to a breathing mask of the type explained in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a breathing mask is for example from the EP 267 428 known.
  • the known breathing mask includes an exhalation valve integrally formed of a rubber or a rubber-like plastic, which is buttoned into an opening in the mask body.
  • the exhalation valve includes an exhalation port disposed on a lip valve that connects outwardly to the insertion site into the mask body. In the normal, closed state, the two walls of the lip valve lie flat on each other in the area of the outlet opening so that no unfiltered air can enter when inhaling.
  • the exhalation pressure opens the lip valve and thereby the exhalation port, allowing the air to escape.
  • a mask for use outdoors and especially in cold or unfriendly weather.
  • the mask contains openings that allow the inhaled air to be preheated by warm, exhaled air.
  • the resulting increased amount of condensate is held by chemical hydrogen bonding to the inside of the mask.
  • passive air flow cavities and a liquid guide slot are provided which form discharge means for liquid bound to the mask.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a breathing mask with improved protection against dripping condensate.
  • the inventive design condensate is discharged into the mask body, so that it can neither drain, nor affect the sealing effect of the exhalation valve.
  • the arrangement of the condensate receiving area and the condensation surface should be matched to the corresponding construction of the exhalation valve, that the condensation surface is substantially aligned with the mask body is aligned and have a from the outside outward Bogrenzung a valve receiving, so that the condensate preferably by gravity gets into the mask body.
  • the exhalation valve has a cover, then it should preferably rest on the mask body and expediently have a guide surface for introducing the condensate.
  • the receiving region can be provided at suitable locations in the mask body, for example, a region of the filter material which is permeable to the condensation surface in the direction of the condensation surface or a cavity region of a covering layer of the filter material which is open in the direction of the condensation surface.
  • the receiving area is connected to a distribution area for the condensate in the mask body, so that the recorded condensate can be distributed in the mask body, which increases both the tendency to evaporation, as well as the absorption capacity.
  • valve receptacle as a Ventithatt für a separate housing and preferably by frictional engagement in the opening provided in the mask body itself, but also by positive engagement or the like can be attached.
  • the valve holder can also be formed directly on the mask body.
  • the housing itself forms a condensation surface, it is preferably sloping sloping from the inside to the outside and is in flow connection with the condensate receiving region, so that the condensate accumulating here can also be introduced into the mask body.
  • FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a breathing mask 1 according to the invention.
  • the breathing mask 1 is a so-called half mask, i. It is worn over the mouth and nose of the wearer and leaves the eyes free.
  • the breathing mask 1 contains a mask body 2, which is dimensionally stable in that it does not collapse when inhaled.
  • the mask body 2 contains the usual material structure, so it may for example be formed entirely of filter material or contain a filter material between two support layers or a filter material with a cover layer. Both the filter material and the further layers of the mask body 2 must be air permeable, i. be open-pored.
  • the mask body 2 contains the usual face seal 3 which flexibly seals against the face of the wearer when the mask body 2 is fastened to the head of the wearer by means of a harness 4.
  • the exhalation mask 1 according to the invention is further provided with an exhalation valve 5, which offers a lower resistance to exhalation on exhalation than the wall of the mask body 2, so that exhalation is facilitated.
  • FIG. 2 shows, in the illustrated embodiment, the exhalation valve 5 of a valve seat 6, a flap 7 and a cover 8.
  • the valve seat 6, the flap 7 and the cover 8 are formed substantially circular.
  • the valve seat 6 includes a sealing surface 6a, which preferably extends annularly.
  • the flap 7 is fastened, preferably unbuttoned, via a fastening 6b, which is connected by means of struts 6c to the annular sealing surface 6a.
  • the flap 7 consists of a for Such exhalation valves usual, flexible material, such as rubber or a rubber-like plastic, which is able to stand out when inflating from the interior of the mask body 2 out of the sealing surface 6a and thereby open a Ausströmweg.
  • the cover 8 is preferably made of plastic and extends over the entire area occupied by the valve seat 6 and the flap 7.
  • the cover 8 includes exhalation ports 8a of suitable design separated by impermeable material regions 8b.
  • the cover 8 is kept at a distance from the flap 7, which allows the movement of the flap 7 during exhalation unhindered.
  • the exhalation valve 5 is housed in a valve seat 9, which sits in an opening 2 a of the mask body 2.
  • a pot-like housing 10 made of plastic or the like, which has a widening from the inside to the outside cross-section.
  • the pot-like housing 10 covers the natural cut edges of the material of the mask body 2 in the region of the opening 2 a, terminates substantially with the outer surface 2 b of the mask body 2 and protrudes inwards beyond the inner surface 2 c of the mask body 2.
  • the bottom of the cup-shaped housing 10 is formed by the valve member 6, in the central hub 6b a plug 8e of the cover 8 is inserted with the interposition of the flap 7 and the flap 7 attached to the valve member 6b.
  • the housing 10 has a substantially keglige conversion 10 a, which is provided on the small diameter side with a radial mounting flange 10 b, on which the valve member 6 is fixed.
  • the cover 8 is provided at its peripheral edges with an inwardly angled edge 8d, which engages over the wall 10a on the outside of the mask body 2 and is pressed into the material of the mask body 2.
  • a region 11 in which the material of the mask body 2 is receptive to condensate. This means that this area is neither compressed by welding, nor by mechanical contact pressure or the like so that no or only insignificant cavities remain in the material of the mask body 2.
  • the region 11 may have the porosity and / or capillarity of the material of the mask body present there, but may also be particularly porous and / or equipped with a particularly high absorbency.
  • the configuration of the receiving cavities for the condensate may be formed depending on the material properties of the existing there layer of the material of the mask body 2, for example, in a net-like cover layer relatively large cavities are, while where filter material extends to the outer side 2b of the mask body 2, smaller cavities, but in larger numbers, are available.
  • a distribution region 12 can adjoin the condensate receiving region 11, which can in principle extend over the entire mask body 2 and distributes the condensate over the entire mask body 2 over a large area, so that it can evaporate more easily and does not cause any loss of comfort.
  • the moisture contained in the exhaled air settles on all parts of the exhalation valve 5, but mainly on the cover 8, down and runs due to gravity both on the cover 8 and the pot-like wall 10a, here due to the sloping from the inside to the outside slope Wall 10a, to the lower point U, where it is introduced by the acting as a guide surface angled edge 8d in the area 11. Even after the mask has been removed or the wearer's head has been tilted, the condensate can collect around the cover 8 and is introduced into the mask body 2.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show a further embodiment of the embodiment according to the invention, which differs from the embodiment of 3 and 4 only differs by a different configuration of the valve seat 9.
  • the valve receptacle 9 is formed by turn a pot-like structure, which is here formed by a drawn into the interior of the breathing mask in part 13 from the material of the mask body 2.
  • the drawn pot structure 13 in particular the conical wall 13a, contains cavities and / or capillaries, through which the condensate accumulating there or reaching it reaches the region 11, which in this case extends both the area of the area surrounding the opening 2a Material of the mask body 2 and the region of the drawn pot structure 13 includes.
  • the distribution region 12 which in turn can extend over the entire surface of the mask body 2, adjoins this receiving region 11.
  • the condensate receiving area according to the invention can also be used with differently designed exhalation valves or breathing masks. Depending on the design of the exhalation valve, there will be other exposed areas where condensate precipitates preferentially and in larger quantities. According to the invention, these surfaces are then connected to the material of the mask body in a condensate-absorbing manner directly or via guide surfaces.
