Definitions
- This invention relates to a canister holder for use in a gas mask harness and, more particularly, relates to a holder which will securely lock the canister in place and yet which will enable the canister to be easily and quickly removed from the harness for replacement purposes.
- a still further disadvantage is that the holderand straps cover the outside surface of the canister so that important labels thereon cannot be seen, therefore requiring frequent removal from the holder as different wearers use the harness and gas mask assembly, or as the same wearer uses it from time to time.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a novel holder for a canister in a gas mask harness which will overcome the above named disadvantages and which eliminates the necessity of lacing or wrapping straps about the canister holder and which provides an assured locking of the canister in the holder to prevent accidental displacement from the harness.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a novel transparent plastic container or holder for the canister to enable the canister and its labels to be seen at all times, which holder can be easily carried by the harness and operated easily to unlock the canister from the holder when it is desired to replace the canister or withdraw it from the holder for any other reason.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a canister holder or container embodying the principles of the present invention
- FIG. 2 is an end view of the holder shown in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a vertical, cross-sectional view taken through the center of the major side of the container shown in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is a bottom view of the holder shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3;
- FIG. 5 is a somewhat enlarged, fragmentary, top view showing the handle 5 and its connection to holder 4;
- FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a modification of the holder embodying a detachable stop for holding the canis ter in place in the holder;
- FIG. 7 is a vertical, cross-sectional view through the stop and holder shown in FIG. 6;
- FIG. 8 is an enlarged, perspective view of the stop shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.
- numeral 1 denotes a canister enclosing activated charcoal or other suitable filtering material and having an inlet opening at the bottom end (not shown) and a top opening, shown in dash and dot outline, to which a flexible tube is connected which leads filtered air into the face piece of a gas mask-all which is well 3,215,322 Patented Nov. 2, 1965 known in the art.
- the canister 1 may be identified as to type by a special color, and generally has labels on both sides giving important information concerning the use of the canister, shelf life, etc., which makes it advisable to have the labels exposed at all times.
- the plastic container or holder into which the canister is inserted and closely fitted, is preferably made of transparent plastic material so that both labels will be visible at all times. It may be formed of two plastic halves having flanged mouth portions 8 sealed together or may be molded in one piece. Straps 3, shown in dash and dot outline and forming part of a gas mask canister harness, are connected to the container 4 by being looped through slots or openings 11 formed by bulged out portions 10 of the container 4. Straps 2, shown in dash and dot outline, have, at their ends, closed loops, each of which is inserted through the opening provided by bulged out portion 7 of plastic handle 5, whose side portions are integrally secured to opposite top end portions of the container.
- the bottom of the container is open with exception of side base strips 4a which provide a base or shoulder on which the canister 1 is supported.
- An important feature of the invention is the shape of the wedge lock 12, 13, 14, 16, more clearly shown in FIG. 3, which forms the bottom portion of the container.
- An integral bottom portion 16 also of plastic, serves as a tab to enable pulling out to the dot-and-dash position (since the side of the container is slightly flexible) so as to remove the stop function provided by edge 14 and enable the canister to be lifted freely when it is desired to remove it from the holder for replacement.
- FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 show a modification wherein the handles 5 are identical to those shown in FIG. 1 for holding the straps 2 as well as the projections 10 which provide slots 11 through which straps 3 may be looped.
- the handles 5 are identical to those shown in FIG. 1 for holding the straps 2 as well as the projections 10 which provide slots 11 through which straps 3 may be looped.
- the stop element 20 which may be also of plastic material, has a cut-out portion 27 for clearing the top bead of canister 1 and a body portion 21 bulged inwardly to form a projection 24 surrounded by slots 22 in strip portions 23 and terminating in a bottom tab portion 25.
- a holder for supporting a canister said holder being substantially tubular of transparent, plastic material and of substantially rectangular cross-section so as to snugly embrace the canister, means for attach ing the straps of said harness to opposite end wall portions at the top portion of said holder, and a latch supported on one of the Walls of said holder for latching onto a portion of said canister so as to serve as a stop to lock the canister securely in place in said holder, said one of the walls being provided with openings through which a strap of said harness may be looped, and said latch being secured to said strap and having a top hook shaped element for engaging the top surface of the canister and for locking it in place in said holder.
- a holder for supporting a canister said holder being substantially tubular of transparent, plastic material and of substantially rectangular cross-section so as to snugly embrace the canister, means for attaching the straps of said harness to opposite end wall portions at the top portion of said holder, the bottom wall of said holder having a large opening adjacent the side Wall of greatest width so that said side wall may be slightly flexed outwardly, said side wall having an integral stop portion which is engageable with a marginal portion of said canister to prevent accidental removal thereof from the holder, said side wall including a tab for facilitating outward flexing of said side wall to unlatch said latch.
- said latch is in the form of a wedge-shaped element integrally formed on the inside surface on the bottom of said side wall and having a bottom shoulder for engaging the bottom bead of said canister and including an integral tab extending downwardly from said shoulder to facilitate outward flexing of said side wall and removal of said canister.
