B. in a fire, air poisoning (eg a poison gas attack) the danger that the breathing air scarce is or is no longer suitable as breathing air, which is serious Symptoms of intoxication and / or even suffocation may have. However, it is extremely cumbersome in practice for such eventual emergency situations constantly to carry an oxygen bottle. Will such an oxygen cylinder in a usual Carrying suitcases, then this has the disadvantage that in the If necessary, the oxygen cylinder is difficult to access. Opening the whole Suitcase is as well very awkward and needed a lot of space, the z. B. hardly exists in a train.

Of the The present invention is therefore based on the object, an oxygen supply to provide, which are easily carried by travelers can be used quickly and easily in emergency situations is.

These Task is solved by the entire teaching of claim 1. advantageous Further developments of the container emerge from the dependent claims 2 to 29.

The Invention is characterized in that the container in Form of a usual Travel container, which is in particular a suitcase, a suitcase, a handbag, a travel bag, a briefcase or the like is equipped with a ventilation unit with its own access is. The travel agency and the ventilation unit can be transported together as a unit, if necessary, for. B. in a fire in a subway, in easier and faster way the ventilation unit is accessible, without that the travel agency open must become. at the travel container In particular, it may be a conventional travel suitcase, z. B. a hard case, but also a leather or aluminum case or the like. The travel agency is not on one limited to certain shape or size.

advantageously, The ventilation unit can be arranged in an additional container. The ventilation unit is protected in this way from external influences, so that their functionality always guaranteed is. Advantageously, the additional container is designed so that he complies with the dangerous goods regulations.

Conveniently, are the travel agent and the additional container each independently functioning, so that they can also be used separately.

It is now possible the ventilation unit or the additional container in the side area of the travel container, especially in an extension the longitudinal axis of the travel agency, to arrange. This will change the height a suitcase not changed and he is just as comfortably portable without him on the bottom hits.

Especially can at the travel agency, at the respiratory unit or the additional container arranged in the side area is to be provided with a handle for shifting the center of gravity of the container is horizontally displaceable. This will ensure that the suitcase continue to be easily portable in the usual way.

Conveniently, can by means of actuation of the Handle, in particular by a displacement of the handle, a or unlocking the connection between travel containers and Additional housing be feasible. So there is a shift of the handle from the normal position in the position to shift the center of gravity, then can simultaneously a locking of the connection between travel container and additional housing respectively. This is advantageously two functions with only a handle feasible.

In an alternative embodiment variant the ventilation unit or the additional container in the area of the underside of the travel container be arranged. This has the advantage that no shift of emphasis by means of the handle is required. In addition, this arrangement associated with the advantage that when opening the case, the ventilation unit or the additional container not disturbing due to a lateral arrangement.

In a further alternative embodiment, the respiratory unit or the additional container may be arranged in a recess of the travel container. This has the advantage that - if the additional container in its external dimensions does not hi over the surfaces of the travel container nausgeht - do not change the outer dimensions of the travel container and therefore the travel container requires no additional storage space.

With Advantage, the ventilation unit or the additional container in a recess may be arranged on the underside of the travel container, so that a comfortable transport of the container with additional container or Ventilation unit still possible is. The optical unit created thereby is also advantageous.

The Recess may advantageously be centered at the bottom of the travel agency are located, so that a uniform weight distribution is brought about and no shift in emphasis z. B. by means of the handle necessary is.

The Ventilation unit or the additional container can be detachably connected to the travel container, so that each unit or each container are used alone can. To the ventilation unit or the additional container with the travel container at The ventilation unit can quickly connect or disconnect needs or the additional container to the travel agency suspended and / or be latched with it.

In order to also the additional container is separately portable in a simple manner, it can with a carrying device, z. B. be provided a strap or a handle.

The faces of the travel agency can with the side surfaces flush the additional tank, so that one related Unit is formed. This has next to the optical unit the Advantage that the entire container easy to transport, handle and stow away.

to quick and easy attachment of the additional container the travel container may be provided an adapter part, the z. B. is at the travel agency or afterwards can be attached. In the adapter part, it may be z. B. order act a profile strip, in which a arranged on the additional container Counter profile is inserted. Alternatively, the Zusatzbehältnis also be hanged in a simple manner in corresponding hook elements on a travel container, where a plug-and-clamp connection for secure attachment of advantage is.

at The ventilation unit may be an oxygenation unit act as they B. in the German Utility Model 298 16 254.7 is described. On the contents of this utility model is attached directed this point.

The Ventilation unit and / or the additional container are expediently replaceable to repair perform or the ventilation unit after a certain time for security reasons completely replace. Likewise, after use of the respiratory unit this removed and a new ventilation unit are used.

Of the additional container can have a hinged lid for easy access to get to the ventilation unit.

Of the additional container can also be a pusher z. B. as a roller blind device is designed to open have, so that in comparison to the hinged lid no radii for the opening process needed become.

In the additional container A protective cover can be provided, which together with the oxygen supply as a face mask and respiratory reservoir in case of fire can be used with smoke etc.

In the respiratory unit may be integrated with a respiratory mask, the one easy handling and safe oxygen supply guaranteed.

The Ventilation unit may as well a valve, in particular a Venturi valve, for the supply of outside air exhibit. By means of the Venturi valve ambient air is sucked in, so that an oxygen concentration of z. B. only 70% is brought about. This is natural not useful if the ventilation unit in a fire, a Poisoning or the like is used, otherwise the poison gases to be inhaled. Is only the oxygen content too low in the ambient air, the Venturi effect is quite makes sense, since an oxygen content of <100% is sufficient for emergency care is.

The Ventilation unit may have a demand valve, which is such is constructed, that only when sucking in the breathing air Valve flap for the oxygen supply line opens. In order to the patient as breathing air an already finished mixture of oxygen and outside air can be fed, is the valve for supplying outside air advantageously arranged just before the demand valve.

Around for the appropriate purpose to select the optimal oxygen content can, can the venturi valve and the demand valve can be activated together.

The respective function of Demand valve and Venturi with Demand valve can be as needed to be selected. A Demand and Venturi effect together leads to a supply with a lower oxygen concentration, but is sufficient even in circulatory problems or the like.

For the oxygen supply The ventilation unit may comprise an oxygen cylinder. The oxygen bottle is expediently with a pressure of> 200 bar filled, whereby a correspondingly long usage time is achievable. Conveniently, a pressure in the range of 200 to 300 bar can be provided. A Bottle pressure gauge gives information about how much oxygen is left is in the store.

The Invention is based on advantageous embodiments in the drawing figures explained in more detail. These demonstrate:

8th Top view of the ventilation unit.

The container in its entirety is with reference number 1 Mistake. It consists of a common travel container, namely a suitcase 2 , as well as a ventilation unit 3 with a private access. This has the advantage that in case of emergency, the ventilation unit is within reach and immediately accessible without having to open the case. The ventilation unit 3 is in an additional container 4 arranged and thus safely protected from external influences. The travel container or suitcase 2 and the additional container 4 are each independently functional. The additional container 4 includes the complete ventilation unit 3 , which is provided in the manner of a cartridge so to speak as a replacement population.

The ventilation unit 3 or the additional container 4 can be arranged at different positions of the travel container. So is according to 1 the additional container 4 in the side area of the suitcase 2 , namely in an extension of the longitudinal axis of the suitcase 2 arranged. Because of the arrangement of the additional container 4 to a shift of emphasis of the entire container 1 comes, is the s.der suitcase 2 arranged handle 5 for shifting the center of gravity of the container 1 horizontally movable, like out 5a evident.

By pressing the handle 5 That is, by a shift of the handle 5 is at the same time a locking or unlocking the connection between suitcases 2 and additional container 4 feasible. This functional connection goes out of the drawing figures 5a and 5b clearly visible. When moving the handle 5 in the direction of additional container 4 grips a hook element 6 in a corresponding recess 7 , Should the additional container 4 from the suitcase 2 be disconnected, just press a button ("push" button or arrow 8th ) to unlock the connection.

In the drawing figures 2 and 3 is the additional container 4 in the area of the underside of the suitcase 2 arranged. Advantageously, the additional container 4 so at the bottom of the suitcase 2 arranged that no shift in emphasis takes place.

In the embodiment according to 2 is the additional container 4 in a recess 9 of the suitcase 2 arranged. This integration of the additional container 4 in the suitcase 2 gives the additional container 4 or respiratory unit 3 an additional protection. In addition, by this arrangement, the outer dimensions of the case 2 not changed so that it is still easy to transport and store. The recess 9 is located in the middle of the bottom of the case 2 so neither with the suitcase 2 alone with the suitcase 2 with inserted additional container 4 a shift of emphasis takes place.

In 3 is the additional container 4 at the bottom of the case 2 arranged, with the additional container 4 over the entire width of the suitcase 2 extends.

The additional container 4 is detachable with the travel container or the suitcase 2 connected, so that both containers can also be used separately as needed. To the additional container 4 Alone good transport, this has a strap 10 on (see 1 ).

The additional container 4 is on the suitcase 2 suspendable and / or lockable. This is again on the 5 Referenced. Other connectivity options are discussed below.

As in the 1 and 2 is shown, closes the bottom of the suitcase 2 with the bottom of the additional container 4 flush off. Likewise, also close all other side surfaces of the suitcase 2 with the side surfaces of the additional container 4 flush so that a cohesive, compact unit is created.

The following will be on 4 Referenced. On the suitcase 2 there is an adapter part 11 in the form of a profile rail. At the additional container 4 is a rail-shaped adapter profile 12 provided, which for attachment of the additional container 4 in the adapter part 11 can be inserted from above and by means of the differently shaped tail 13 stuck in it. In particular, several such adapter devices in the side region of the suitcase 2 be provided and so the secure attachment of the additional container 4 serve.

At the ventilation unit 3 it is an oxygen supply unit, in which the required oxygen concentration is expediently adjustable.

The ventilation unit 3 or the entire additional container 4 are interchangeable for repair purposes or for safety reasons after a certain time.

The additional container 4 is in the embodiments in the 5 to 7 with a hinged lid 14 provided access to the ventilation unit 3 to get. The lid 14 is by means of a simple actuator 15 that is to be pulled up in the illustrated embodiments, quick and easy to open.

Instead of the described cover 14 can the additional container 4 but also a sliding device in the form of a roller blind device 16 have, as the embodiments in the 1 to 3 demonstrate. This has compared to the lid 14 the advantage that no pivoting area is required when opening.

The contents of the additional container 4 is in drawing figure 8th shown. The additional container 4 includes a protective cover 17 , This protective hood 17 can be used in addition to the oxygen supply as a face shield in case of fire with smoke or the like. The protective hood 17 but can also serve as a breathing mask at the same time. If this is not the case, a breathing mask is additionally provided, which, however, is not shown in detail in the drawing figures.

In particular, the respiratory unit may be designed like the treatment unit described in utility model 298 16 254.7. The ventilation unit 3 therefore has a valve, in particular a Venturi valve, for supplying outside air in order to reduce the oxygen concentration and thus an extension of the supply duration by the respiratory unit 3 bring about. The ventilation unit 3 has an oxygen cylinder 18 which ensures a supply of oxygen at a pressure of 200 to 300 bar for a certain time.

A demand valve 19 ensures that the valve flap for the supply of oxygen opens only when breathing air is sucked in.

The venturi valve and the demand valve 19 can be activated together, with the respective function of demand valve 19 and venturi with demand valve is selectable.

A pressure regulator 20 ensures a reduction in the high pressure in the oxygen cylinder 18 to about 5 bar or less. At the manometer 21 The pressure at which the oxygen escapes is displayed.
