MASK RETAINING DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a device for removably fixing a mask (1) in the form of a rectangular frame, on the legs (2, 3) of which clamping means are provided for gripping the edge (1') of the mask (1). According to the invention, the clamping means comprise a plurality of individual spring elements (4) which grip closely adjacent points on the mask edge (1'). The individual spring elements (4) which are assigned to one leg (2, 3) of the frame and are embodied as leaf springs (4) that are interconnected in a comb-type manner can be moved from a fitting position in which the frame can be fitted with the mask (1) into a clamping position by means of a common auxiliary clamping member (5).
