Description
L'invention se rapporte à un nouveau masque respiratoire jetable dont l'élément filtrant est constitué d'une matière granuleuse, par exemple du charbon actif en grains.The invention relates to a new disposable respiratory mask, the filter element of which consists of a granular material, for example granular activated carbon.
Elle vise également son procédé de fabrication.It also targets its manufacturing process.
FR-A-2 414 941 décrit un masque respiratoire jetable comprenant une coquille en matériaux thermorétractiles comprenant une nappe extérieure présentant une pluralité d'alvéoles en saillie de sa face antérieure de ladite nappe extérieure et occupant la presque totalité de sa surface, chacune desdites alvéoles définissant une enceinte contenant une matière granuleuse filtrante, notamment du charbon actif, fortement comprimée, lesdites alvéoles étant fermées par une nappe intérieure appliquée sur la nappe extérieure lors d'une opération thermique de soudure, un tel masque présente l'inconvénient que l'air traversant le masque à tendence à passer à travers les zones où la perte de charge est la plus faible, c'est-à-dire autour des alvéoles dans les zones où les deux nappes sont directement en contact ainsi qu'au niveau de la base des alvéoles sur le pourtour de celles-ci de telle sorte que l'air traversant le masque n'est pas ou peu en contact avec le matériau granulaire. L'effet de filtration est donc faible.FR-A-2 414 941 describes a disposable respiratory mask comprising a shell made of heat-shrinkable materials comprising an outer ply having a plurality of cells projecting from its anterior face of said outer ply and occupying almost all of its surface, each of said cells defining an enclosure containing a grainy filter material, in particular activated carbon, highly compressed, said cells being closed by an inner ply applied to the outer ply during a thermal welding operation, such a mask has the drawback that air crossing the mask with a tendency to pass through the areas where the pressure drop is the lowest, that is to say around the cells in the areas where the two plies are directly in contact as well as at the base alveoli on the periphery thereof so that the air passing through the mask has little or no contact with the granular material. The filtration effect is therefore weak.
La présente invention se propose de fournir un masque présentant un effet de filtration amélioré par suite d'une canalisation de l'air entrant dans la masse du matériau granulaire filtrant contenu dans chaque alvéole.The present invention proposes to provide a mask having an improved filtration effect as a result of a channeling of the air entering the mass of the granular filtering material contained in each cell.
Les caractéristiques du masque selon l'invention et de son procédé de fabrication sont indiquées dans les revendications.The characteristics of the mask according to the invention and of its manufacturing process are indicated in the claims.
D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description qui suit faite en regard des dessins annexés sur lesquels:
- - La figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un masque selon l'invention;
- - La figure 2 est une vue éclatée montrant les différents éléments.
- - Figure 1 is a perspective view of a mask according to the invention;
- - Figure 2 is an exploded view showing the different elements.
Comme on le voit sur la figure 1, le masque se présente sous la forme d'une coquille C dont le pourtour épouse intimement le faciès de l'utilisateur au moyen d'une bride en deux éléments B1-B2 s'assemblant derrière la nuque grâce à deux éléments complémentaires V1-V2 formés d'un ruban auto-agrippant comme celui qui est vendu sous la marque VELCRO.As can be seen in FIG. 1, the mask is in the form of a shell C, the periphery of which closely follows the facies of the user by means of a flange made of two elements B1-B2 assembled behind the neck. thanks to two complementary elements V1-V2 formed by a hook-and-loop tape like the one sold under the brand VELCRO.
Selon l'invention, cette coquille C est pourvue d'une pluralité d'alvéoles A1-A6 en saillie sur sa face antérieure, chaque alvéole étant tronc-pyramidale. ou tronconique.According to the invention, this shell C is provided with a plurality of cells A1-A6 projecting from its anterior face, each cell being truncated pyramid. or tapered.
Avantageusement, ces alvéoles sont disposées rayonnantes en direction de la partie la plus antérieure du groin - soit qu'elles se rejoignent à ce point, soit qu'elles aboutissent à une alvéole circulaire soit encore à une soupape centrale S de la sortie de l'air expiré.Advantageously, these cells are arranged radiating in the direction of the most anterior part of the snout - either that they meet at this point, or that they end in a circular alveolus or even in a central valve S of the outlet of the expired air.
Chaque alvéole est remplie de matière filtrante en grains (charbon actif par exemple) comprimée par thermorétraction du matériau constituant la coquille C.Each cell is filled with grain filtering material (activated carbon for example) compressed by heat shrinking the material constituting the shell C.
Comme on le voit sur la figure 2, cette coquille C est constituée par une chambre faite initialement de trois nappes planes: une nappe extérieure C1 en non-tissé de fibres rétractiles comme des fibres de polyvinyle perméable au fluide à traiter, une plaque intermédiaire P faite d'un film de P.V.C. semi-rigide imperméable au fluide à traiter et d'une nappe intérieure C2 en polyvinyle de grade alimentaire anti-allergique perméable au fluide à traiter.As can be seen in FIG. 2, this shell C consists of a chamber initially made of three flat sheets: an outer sheet C1 made of nonwoven of retractable fibers such as polyvinyl fibers permeable to the fluid to be treated, an intermediate plate P made of a semi-rigid PVC film impermeable to the fluid to be treated and an inner web C2 of food-grade anti-allergic polyvinyl permeable to the fluid to be treated.
La nappe extérieure C1 est préformée d'alvéoles (Al -A6) comme il vient d'être dit.The outer ply C1 is preformed with cells (Al -A6) as has just been said.
La plaque intermédiaire P est découpée de trous T1 à T6 (éventuellement T7) correspondant en forme, nombre et disposition aux alvéoles de la nappe C1, toutefois, les dimensions de ces trous sont inférieures à celles des alvéoles correspondantes pour des raisons qui seront expliquées plus loin.The intermediate plate P is cut out of holes T1 to T6 (possibly T7) corresponding to the shape, number and arrangement of the cells of the sheet C1, however, the dimensions of these holes are smaller than those of the corresponding cells for reasons which will be explained more far.
La nappe C2 n'est pas percée.The sheet C2 is not pierced.
La nappe C1 étant placée à plat, alvéoles en dessous, on garnit entièrement celle-ci de charbon actif (ou de toute matière filtrante similaire); on place au-dessus la plaque intermédiaire P en faisant coïncider ses trous avec les alvéoles puis la nappe C2; on effectue une soudure à plat pour fermer les alvéoles.The C1 sheet being placed flat, cells below, it is completely filled with activated carbon (or any similar filter material); the intermediate plate P is placed above, making its holes coincide with the cells then the sheet C2; a flat weld is carried out to close the cells.
Du fait que les ouvertures T1-T6 sont plus faibles que la base de ces alvéoles, l'air entrant dans cette zone est dévié vers le charbon actif avant de pouvoir atteindre l'intérieur du masque. Après découpe de vés, de préférence au nombre de deux aux extrémités supérieure et respectivement inférieure, pour faciliter le pliage, on procède à la conformation et aux soudures adéquates.Because the T1-T6 openings are weaker than the base of these cells, the air entering this zone is diverted towards the activated carbon before being able to reach the interior of the mask. After cutting the vee, preferably two in number at the upper and lower ends respectively, to facilitate folding, the process is carried out and the appropriate welds.
L'apport calorifique nécessaire à cette mise en forme et à l'assujettissement entre elles des différentes couches, produit en même temps la rétraction des trois nappes, ce qui a pour effet de comprimer le charbon actif entre la nappe C1 limitant les alvéoles et la nappe C2 de fermeture.The calorific contribution necessary for this shaping and the subjugation between them of the different layers, produces at the same time the retraction of the three layers, which has the effect of compressing the activated carbon between the layer C1 limiting the alveoli and the closing tablecloth C2.
Eventuellement l'alvéole centrale peut être remplacée par une soupape dexpiration 3 qui est alors assemblée d'une manière classique.Optionally the central cell can be replaced by an exhalation valve 3 which is then assembled in a conventional manner.
Garni de charbon actif, le masque ainsi obtenu peut être employé entre autres pour la protection contre les poussières non fibrogènes sans toxicité particulière et contre les vapeurs organiques dont le point d'ébullition est supérieur à 60 °C et contre les vapeurs acides telles que:
- - l'anhydride sulfureux et sulfurique
- - les oxydes d'azote
- - les acides halogénés: chlorhydrique, bromhydrique, iodhydrique
- - les acices hydrogénés: hydrogène sulfuré, mercaptans, et en général partout où des poussières non fibrogènes constituent une gêne pour l'usager avec émission de vapeurs organiques ou acides et en particulier contre les vapeurs de poly- uréthanes et d'isocyanates (lorsque leur concentration est inférieure à 0,2 ppm.).
- - sulfurous and sulfuric anhydride
- - nitrogen oxides
- - halogenated acids: hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic
- - hydrogenated acices: hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, and in general wherever non-fibrogenic dust is a nuisance for the user with emission of organic or acid vapors and in particular against polyurethane and isocyanate vapors (when their concentration is less than 0.2 ppm.).
