Abstract

The invention relates to a respirator mask having a mask body, at least one exhalation valve and at least one inhalation valve, at least one filter module allocated to the inhalation valve, and at least one coupling element arranged on the mask body and provided to fasten at least one head fastening strap engaging the head of a user from behind. It is provided that the coupling element for fastening the filter module to the mask body in a detachable manner comprises at least one holding projection which can be displaced from a position locking the filter module in place on the mask body to a position releasing the filter module.

Claims (14)

1. A breathing mask, having a mask body, at least one exhalation valve and at least one inhalation valve, at least one filter module allocated to the at least one inhalation valve, and at least one coupling element arranged on the mask body and provided to fasten at least one head fastening strap adapted to engage the head of a user from behind, characterized in that the at least one coupling element comprises at least one holding projection for fastening the at least one filter module to the mask body in a detachable manner, wherein the at least one holding projection is configured to be displaced from a position locking the at least one filter module in place on the mask body to a position releasing the at least one filter module and

characterized in that the at least one coupling element is formed such that it is configured to be elastically deformed at least in certain areas,

characterized in that the at least one coupling element is formed integrally with the mask body, and

characterized in that the at least one holding projection is formed integrally with the at least one coupling element, and

characterized in that the at least one holding projection is formed as a detent lug having a stop facing the mask body and an insertion chamfer facing away from the mask body, and

characterized in that the at least one coupling element is formed in the shape of an L having a first leg fastened to the mask body and a second leg facing away from the filter module wherein the at least one holding projection is arranged on the first leg at an end of the first leg and facing away from the mask body.

2. The breathing mask according to claim 1 , characterized in that the second leg comprises clamping structure for fastening to the at least one head fastening strap.

3. The breathing mask according to claim 1 , characterized in that the at least one coupling element includes a plurality of coupling elements is allocated to the at least one filter module.

4. The breathing mask according to claim 3 , characterized in that the plurality of coupling elements are allocated to a first side of the at least one filter module and that, on a second side disposed opposite the first side, the at least one filter module comprises at least one locking projection is configured to be pushed into a locking receptacle of the mask body.

5. The breathing mask according to claim 1 , characterized in that at least one detent projection is elastically displaced and is allocated to the at least one filter module and is arranged on the mask body for the purpose of locking the at least one filter module.

6. The breathing mask according to claim 1 , characterized in that the mask body comprises one receiving recess for the at least one filter module for receiving the at least one filter module in certain areas.

7. The breathing mask according to claim 6 , characterized in that the at least one filter module or the receiving recess each comprise at least one sealing web forming a frame and spaced apart from the at least one inhalation valve.

8. The breathing mask according to claim 7 , characterized in that the at least one sealing web is formed such that it is configured to be elastically deformed at least in certain areas.

9. The breathing mask according to claim 6 , characterized in that the mask body is formed from multiple parts, having a mask base body and at least one shell element forming the receiving recess, wherein the at least one shell element comprises a higher stiffness than the mask base body.
