- the reference 1 designates a mask body, here essentially composed of an eyepiece.
- the body and the eyepiece are designated here by the same reference 1.
- This eyepiece 1 is specially adapted and intended for a respiratory protection mask 2.
- Such a mask 2 is, according to a typical application, intended for firefighters.
- the mask 2 also comprises a skirt 3 of generally annular shape intended to be placed around the eyepiece 1, towards the outside, by being rigidly connected to it.
- the eyepiece 1 comprises, for this purpose, on its large external peripheral free edge 4, a flange 5 forming an integral part of it, directed towards the outside of the eyepiece 1 and on which the free edge of the skirt 3 is folded .
- the assembly is made rigid by a U-shaped tightening joint 6.
- the skirt 3 provides the sealing connection between the eyepiece 1 and the face V of a wearer R.
- the mask 2 also includes an inner mask 7 as well as respiratory devices and / or means.
- Such a mask 2 can be integrated (FIG. 1) into a helmet 2a or a spacesuit 2b of which it then forms an integral part.
- the eyepiece 1 essentially comprises a one-piece transparent wall 9 shaped so as to fulfill the various functions of the eyepiece.
- the wall 9 is shaped by being curved with an overall concavity turned towards the face V of the wearer R, that is to say inside the eyepiece 1, while the convexity is turned towards the outside.
- the eyepiece 1, that is to say the transparent wall 9, is here made of polycarbonate.
- the wall 9 has a thickness equal to or of the order of 3 mm.
- the wall 9 is limited by the edge 4, which defines a first large rear opening 10 intended to be placed facing and in the vicinity of the face V.
- the wall 9 has a second lower opening 11 called “front opening”, with which is intended to cooperate a connecting block or snout A, forming part of the respiratory device.
- the wall 9 forms around the front opening 11 an annular shoulder 12, substantially planar, intended to position the connection block A.
- the eyepiece 1 is therefore limited, downwards, by a plane P (FIG. 1) which - relative to a carrier R having the right head and a horizontal axis of vision S - makes an angle J with the horizontal ( Figure 1) of the order of 45 °.
- This plane P includes the front opening 11 and the shoulder 12.

- FIG. 2 shows that the surface 22 of the block A has a peripheral groove 23 for housing a seal 24.
- the seal 24 is O-ring, of substantially circular cross section, and comprises a silicone or the like.
- This arrangement which can be likened to an axial abutment against a plane, combined with a mounting guide with radial clearance and interposition of a seal, distinguishes the invention from built-in or plug-in assemblies.
- the guide surface 22 is a cylinder based on a rounded external contour.
- the outline is circular or oblong.
- the base has an ovoid external contour, with a large upper radius centered on mounting means 25 of an inspiration coupling connection, such as those visible in FIGS. 1 and 5 .
- a small lower radius of the contour of the surface 22 is centered on means 15 for mounting an exhalation valve 29.
- Such a structure makes it possible to optimize the ergonomics of the mask 2, the body 1 of which thus follows the "tip" of the lower face V of a wearer R.
- the large upper radius offers technically significant sizing, comfort and usable volume.
- the block A is generally in the form of a truncated cylinder with an ovoid cross section, and truncated at a bevel.
- truncated here means that the cylinder is delimited in its axial direction 16, by two intersecting planes, the intersection of which is located at an outside distance from the block A.
- Block A substantially inscribed between two planes, one outside close to the opening 11, the other inside close to the face V of a wearer, makes it possible to obtain a particularly compact structure - not bulky - and ergonomic, as well than having excellent mechanical resistance qualities. Compared to known structures, block A does not present any zone of least resistance such as a flat and thin wall.

- the mounting means 28 of the inner mask 7 include the groove 23 and in the latter, a male index intended to cooperate with a female index on the inner mask 7, in order to avoid any mounting and positioning errors of the latter. on block A.
- the reference 30 designates in FIG. 1 an inspiration valve, mounted on the block A via the mask 7, and therefore means 28.
- FIG. 7 illustrates an example of a valve 30.
- the mask 2 comprises, according to this embodiment, a flexible membrane 53 and a support 54 which form the valve 30.
- the support 54 At the outer periphery of the support 54 is extended a peripheral groove for mounting this support 54 in an orifice of predetermined size (diameter), of the inner mask 7.
- the support 54 is therefore mounted by elastic stapling or "clipping" on the mask interior 7. This assembly is waterproof.
- the membrane 53 is mounted on a central pin 55 with a peripheral groove, by "clipping".
- a special feature of this membrane 53 is that it is prestressed on its support 54.
- a membrane on a flat support tends, under its own weight, to deform, which impairs its functioning, and especially in terms of sealing and sealing.
- a seat of the support 54 has a cylindrical shape, while the membrane placed on it also takes this cylindrical shape, which tends to stiffen the membrane (under the compressive and tensile stresses on both sides). other from a neutral line).
- the prestressing of the membrane 53 is obtained by the fact that it has, at rest, a shape substantially inscribed in a cylindrical envelope with convexity facing the support 54.
