More specifically, the invention relates to a respirator face mask (2) which provides physiological protection, comprising: an oronasal face piece (10), a semi-flexible lip element (6) which is used to position the oronasal face piece (10) on the user's face (1), and hygienic protection means (4) which are removably-positioned at least partially inside the mask (2). The aforementioned removable protection means (4) comprise (i) a first part (4 a) which provides hygienic protection and (ii) a second part (4 b) which maintains the hygienic protection means (4) inside the mask (2), said second part (4 b) co-operating elastically with the above-mentioned semi-flexible lip element (6) or the face piece (10).
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is the U.S. national phase of International Application No. PCT/FR2004/001195 filed on May 14, 2004, which application claims priority to French Patent Application No. 03/05,993 filed on May 16, 2003, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The invention relates, for example, to the respiratory protection masks used by civil airplane pilots to combat hypoxia in particular. The protection masks for civil airplane pilots are part of the airplane and are used by several pilots in turn, particularly for tests or preventive uses of the masks. It will be understood that this causes a degree of physiological discomfort for the pilots and that it is not without risk concerning certain infections.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To this end, there is proposed, according to the invention, a respirator face mask providing physiological protection, particularly for aircraft flight crew, comprising:
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will be better understood with the help of the drawings in which:
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In the various figures, like references denote identical or similar elements.
In FIG. 1, a user 1, in this case a civil airplane pilot, is wearing a respiratory protection mask 2, in this case a quick-fitting mask. This mask 2 includes an oronasal face piece 10 and a semi-flexible lip 6. A pipe 3 conveying a respiratory gas supplies the mask 2 with respiratory gas from a respiratory source 5. This pipe 3 is connected in a fluid manner to the oronasal face piece 10. Removable hygienic protection system 4 (which may also be referred to as a �hygienic protection means� at some parts throughout this application), in this case a filter, is placed by the pilot inside the mask 2, for example when he takes his seat in the airplane. This hygienic protection system is made up of at least two main parts 4 a and 4 b. The first part 4 a filters the air breathed out and prevents any infection from penetrating inside the mask, and in particular in a microphone or inspiratory 8 and/or expiratory 9 valves. The first part 4 a for example if made of a paper impregnated with an antibiotic, bactericidal or other substance. First part 4 a may also be referred to as a filter part 4 a. The second part 4 b is made of a flexible and airtight material, such as silicone or latex, for example, and is used to secure the hygienic protection system 4 inside the mask 2, and maintain the seal of the hygienic protection system 4 within the mask 2 by contact between this second part 4 b and the inside of the semi-flexible lip 6. Second part 4 b may also be referred to as lip securing part 4 b. If necessary, a cord 7 is fixed to the hygienic protection system 4 to facilitate its extraction from the mask 2.
