  • Patent number: 10046286
    Abstract: A conditioning module (1), for regulating the temperature of and humidifying a flowing gas (60), has a flowthrough body (10) with an inflow opening (11) and with an outflow opening (12). The inflow opening (11) is connected to a gas feed line (2) in a fluid-communicating manner and the outflow opening (12) is connected to a gas outflow line (3) in a fluid-communicating manner. A lower inner area (13) of the flowthrough body (10) is configured as a collecting tank (14) for collecting water (62).

  • Patent number: 9950200
    Abstract: A closing device is provided for a container of a respirator with two container shells (2, 2?) joining each other at front surfaces, with at least one tightening strap (4), which encloses a part of a container shell outer surface located at right angles to the front surfaces. Two holding elements (5, 5?) are each provided with a recess (6, 6?) and are formed at the free ends of the tightening strap (4). A closing element (7) is formed in a U-shaped pattern with two legs (8) and meshes with each recess (6, 6?) of the holding elements (5, 5?). The legs (8) of the closing element (7) can be pulled out of the recess (6, 6?) of the holding elements (5, 5?) to take off the tightening strap (4).

  • Publication number: 20040139786
    Abstract: A testing device for respirator products simulates breathing cycles with variable pressure rise. The device includes a fan (5) with a suction conduit (6) and with a pressure conduit (7). A reversing valve (10) is connected to the fan (5) and is designed to connect the pressure conduit (7) or the suction conduit (6) in terms of flow to the respirator product (2) in a predetermined time sequence in such a way that the particular free conduit is switched into the open position to the environment. A throttling element (11, 13) is located in the line section between the fan (5) and the respirator product (2) and which has a cross-sectional area that can be varied according to a preset manipulated variable.
