Definitions
- Also included among the objects of the invention is to provide a new and improved quick-donning mask suspension and harness therefor which rests comfortably upon the head and neck of the user as well as upon the upper portion of the body with the harness so constructed that cars and most portions of the head are readily exposed permitting the mask to be used effectively without the need for a head covering helmet.
- FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of the suspension attached to a breathing receptacle in the relative positions just prior to locking the mask in position on the face.
- FIGURE 4 is a side elevational view of the mask suspended by the harness and suspension means in an inoperative position at rest upon the upper portion of the body of the user.
- a mask or face receptacle It often made reference to as a mask hardshell or facepiece assembly, around the rim of which is a sealing gasket 11 of a rubber-like or plastic cushion by means of which the rim of the receptacle is sealed over its entire perimeter to the contour of the face 13 of a wearer whose head 14 is shown in the position ordinarily assumed during use.
- a cheek flap 11a forms part of the gasket and overlies the check of the wearer on each side.
- An oxygen supply line 15 of a substantially conventional kind is shown attached by means of a ring 16 to the receptacle at the lower forward portion.
- the earpiece 30 is provided with a substantially arcuate midportion 32 adapted to lie forward of the ear, the earpiece 31 being provided with a corresponding midportion 33.
- a slot 35 At the upper end 34 of the earpiece 32 is a slot 35 in which is secured a loop 36 of a headstrap 37.
- a loop 38 at the other end of the headstrap is contained in a slot 39.
- a buckle 41 At the upper end 40 of the earpiece 31 there being provided a buckle 41 by means of which the length of the headstrap 37 can be adjusted.
- swivel fasteners 51, 52, and 53 On the midportions 32 and 33 as revealed particularly by the midportion 33 shown in FIGURES 1, 4, 5, and 6, there are provided swivel fasteners 51, 52, and 53. Although three are shown in the example chosen a greater or lesser number may be employed so long as there is provided a sufiicient number to permit the apparatus to be adjusted to wearers having heads of different shape and size.
- the swivel fasteners are located throughout an area approximately below the midportion of the earpiece in each instance as revealed in FIGURES 4, and 6.
- a quick donning mask assembly for a breathing mask comprising a mask, a head harness including rigid ear pieces located one adjacent each ear, each ear piece comprising upper and lower ends in vertical alignment, said upper end having in use a location above and in substantial vertical alignment with the ear, said lower end in use having a location below the ear, and a connecting section attached respectively to said upper and lower ends and having in use a location forward of both upper and lower ends and of the ear, a single head strap connecting said upper ends and adapted to extend over the top of the head in substantial alignment with both ears and with said upper and lower ends, and a neck strap connecting said lower ends, a rigid overcenter locking bar having a pivotal connection at one end to the mask, and a single flexible strap on each side in substantial fore and aft alignment with a respective end of the neck strap and having a pivotal connection at one end thereof to said connecting section, said flexible strap having a pivotal snap connection at the other end thereof to said locking bar at a location forward of said first identified pivotal connection.
