Patent ID: 10335617

Abstract:
Respiratory protection hood comprising a flexible envelope and a reservoir of pressurized oxygen comprising an outlet orifice that leads into the internal volume of the envelope, the outlet orifice being closed off by a removable stopper, characterized in that the reservoir of oxygen comprises, upstream of the orifice, a passage for the pressurized gas and a needle that is able to move in a given direction of displacement in said passage, the needle being subjected to two opposite forces in the direction of displacement, said forces being respectively generated on the one hand by the pressure of the gas in the reservoir and the other hand by a return member, the needle having a section with a defined profile that is variable in the direction of displacement in order to modify the degree of closure of the passage depending on the position of said needle relative to the passage so as to regulate the flow rate of gas allowed to escape via the passage towards the orifice as a function of time and the pressure of gas in the reservoir.
