Facemask with adjustable visor

摘要

A facemask or respirator incorporating breathing equipment comprising an outer body or shell (4) to enclose the wearer's nose and mouth with a flexible oro-nasal oxygen mask (3) mounted therein whose periphery makes a seal with the wearer's face. A visor (8) is mounted on the body in the line of sight of the wearer by a pivot mechanism (9) which allows the angular position of the visor (8) relative to the body (4) to be adjusted and retained in its selected position. The pivot mechanism (9) can also be mounted to be movable in a linear direction towards and away from the wearer's face. An NBC hood (30) can be attached to the visor (8). <IMAGE>
