  • Patent number: 9526927
    Abstract: A breathing assembly for aircraft comprising a storage unit, a breathing mask and a releasable securing device. The storage unit has a guiding surface extending perpendicularly to an elevation direction and a maintaining element. The breathing mask comprises a rigid support having a sliding surface adapted to slide in contact with the guiding surface of the storage unit, along a sliding direction between a storage position and an exit position. The support further has a maintaining element. In the storage position, the sliding surface of the support is prevented from moving away from the guiding surface of the storage unit along the elevation direction at the distal end by engagement of the maintaining element of the support with the maintaining element of the storage unit.

  • Patent number: 8720437
    Abstract: A head protective equipment comprises: —a breathing mask (2) connectable to a breathing-gas source and adapted to be applied, in a use position, around an user's nose and mouth, for supplying said user with breathing gas; —a shield (6) adapted to be applied around the user's eyes; and—first and second lock elements (28, 30, 38, 40), respectively located on said mask and on said shield, and adapted to cooperate with each other in order to secure said shield to said mask when said mask is in said use position around said user's nose and mouth, said first and second elements being adapted to create a snap-together connection, —said shield and said mask being adapted to be locked together by a two-step movement, the first step consisting in approaching the shield to the mask until said shield reaches said mask, and the second step being a substantially linear movement until locking.

  • Patent number: 5630412
    Abstract: The protective equipment for the head comprises a breathing mask provided with a harness and connectable to a source of breathing gas, together with a screen (22) for protecting the eyes against smoke, the screen being provided with a peripheral sealing gasket (26) that presses against the face and against the mask. The mask and the screen are distinct and separable. Manually releasable locking means lock the screen to the mask and bear against the mask so as to press the gasket against the face. The equipment is particularly intended for use by aircraft flight crew members.
