Abstract:
A flexible, resilient respiratory mask facial seal adapted for confronting engagement with the face of a user to form an annular sealed interface encompassing a predetermined portion of the user's face. The facial seal includes a peripheral wall and an inturned flap seal. The flap seal projects radially inwardly of the peripheral wall and defines a contoured sealing surface adapted for confronting and sealing engagement with the user's face. The flap seal includes a recessed area corresponding substantially in the shape to a human nose for continuously and matingly conforming to the front and side contours of the user's nose when the facial seal is brought into confronting engagement with the user's face. The facial seal may be adapted for attachment to a respiratory mask body or may be removably placeable over the facial seal of an existing respiratory mask.

International Classification:
A62B 902
US Classification:
12820423
Abstract:
A pressure sensitive valve for a positive pressure airway system which allows bi-directional flow with low resistance. When positive pressure from the air generator of the positive pressure airway system is lost, a spring actuated disc moves away from its compressed position to block the outlet of the air generator. By blocking the outlet of the air generator, the path of entry for contaminants is significantly restricted in so doing, an alternate, low resistance path to atmosphere is exposed to allow contaminants to escape.
A shock absorbing safety net includes diamond mesh netting which is attached to a perimeter rope. In one embodiment, groups of diamond points or peripheral diamond mesh arrays are alternately lashed and laced to the perimeter rope. The laced diamond meshes are disposed in the vicinity of snap hooks employed to attach the safety net to the support cable or mounting frame.
