Passenger oxygen mask
The passenger oxygen mask is provided for emergency situations on board an aircraft. The mask body is designed collapsible at least in sections. An axial overall height of the mask body is reduced by way of the one or more mask sections. This simplifies the accommodation of the oxygen mask or even permits a smaller constructional size of the preparation device.
1 . A passenger oxygen mask, comprising a mask body collapsible at least in sections for reducing an overall axial height.
2 . A passenger oxygen mask according to claim 1 , wherein said mask body has a sealing frame side that is to be distant to the face of the user with a collapsible section.
3 . A passenger oxygen mask according to claim 1 , wherein the mask body has a collapsible section for unfolding in an automatic manner.
4 . A passenger oxygen mask according to claim 1 , wherein the mask body has a collapsible section in the form of a bellows.
5 . A passenger oxygen mask according to claim 1 , wherein the mask body has a collapsible section in the form of crease folds.
6 . A passenger oxygen mask according to claim 1 , wherein the mask body has a collapsible section having wavelike folded portions.
7 . A passenger oxygen mask according to claim 1 , wherein the mask body has a collapsible section comprising shape-stable support rings connected by elastic sleeves which are arranged therebetween.
8 . A passenger oxygen mask according to claim 1 , wherein the mask body has a collapsible section comprising a spring helix.
9 . A passenger oxygen mask according to claim 8 , wherein a separate spring helix is incorporated into the mask body.
10 . A passenger oxygen mask according to claim 8 , wherein the spring helix is designed as an integral, spiral-shaped material thickening of the mask body.
11 . A passenger oxygen mask according to claim 8 , wherein the spring helix is arranged on a wall of the mask body.
12 . An airline passenger oxygen mask, comprising:
a mask body having a user interface sealing end which connects to the face and an opposite oxygen supply connection end to which a collection or retention flexible bag with a flexible tubing for the oxygen supply is connected, said mask body having a collapsible section between said user interface sealing end and said oxygen supply connection end, said collapsible section reducing an overall axial extent of the mask body between said user interface sealing end and said oxygen supply connection end.
13 . A passenger oxygen mask according to claim 12 , wherein said collapsible section includes means for automatically extending from a collapsed state to an axially extended state.
14 . A passenger oxygen mask according to claim 12 , wherein said collapsible section includes a bellows.
15 . A passenger oxygen mask according to claim 12 , wherein said collapsible section includes crease folds.
16 . A passenger oxygen mask according to claim 12 , wherein said collapsible section includes wavelike folded portions.
17 . A passenger oxygen mask according to claim 12 , wherein said collapsible section includes shape-stable support rings with connected and interposed elastic sleeves.
18 . A passenger oxygen mask according to claim 12 , wherein said collapsible section includes a spring helix.
19 . A passenger oxygen mask according to claim 18 , wherein said spring helix comprises an spiral-shaped material thickening formed integral with a portion of material defining said mask body.
