Abstract

An air ventilated protection suit includes an air input port, and a flat air duct connected to an inner end of the air input port. The flat air duct has hoses provided therein to separately extend in directions along which air is delivered to a whole interior of the protection suit. The hoses keep the flat air duct in an always unimpeded state, and respectively include an axially extended spiral cut, such that air supplied into the hosts pushes open the spiral cuts to flow from the hosts into the flat air duct via the push-opened spiral cuts. The protection suit also includes an inspection port to allow an air-tightness inspection of the protection suit before a wearer entering into a working environment; and an air-guiding case fitted around each pressure relief valve provided on the protection suit to provide a space for air released from the pressure relief valve.

Claims (6)

1. An air ventilated protection suit comprising an entry/exit opening, which is openable via a zipper for a wearer to put on the protection suit; a seal flap set provided on an outer side of the entry/exit opening to prevent air from entering the protection suit via the entry/exit opening; an air input port; a flat air duct connected to an inner end of the air input port for delivering air to four limbs of the protection suit; and pressure relief devices for releasing air that causes instantaneous high internal pressure in the protection suit; characterized in a plurality of hoses provided in the flat air duct to separately extend in directions along which air is delivered; the hoses respectively including an axially extended spiral cut, such that air supplied into the hoses pushes open the spiral cuts on the hoses to flow from the hoses into the air duct via the push-opened spiral cuts, and wherein the flat air duct has four hoses provided therein, and the four hoses separately extend from the inner end of the air input port to the four limbs of the protection suit.

2. The air ventilated protection suit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pressure relief devices are separately positioned in pockets provided on the protection suit, and respectively include a pressure relief valve and an air-guiding case; the pressure relief valve including a first thin sheet and a second thin sheet, the first thin sheet having an aperture in close contact with a pressure relief port formed on the protection suit; the second thin sheet being superimposed on the first thin sheet with four corners of the two thin sheets fixedly connected to one another for sealing the pressure relief port; the air-guiding case being a substantially flat case configured for inserting in the pocket on the protection suit and having front and rear open ends, with at least four bars being provided at the front open end for preventing the same from deformation; and the pressure relief valve being introduced into the air-guiding case.

3. The air ventilated protection suit as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the air-guiding case includes a top plate being provided at a rear end with four air outlets, and a bottom plate being provided at a rear end with a notch; and the pressure relief port on the protection suit being arranged at a position corresponding to the notch on the bottom plate of the air-guiding case.

4. The air ventilated protection suit as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an inspection port and a plug for sealing the inspection port; and the plug being connected to an outer wall of the inspection port via a flexible belt.

5. The air ventilated protection suit as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising an openable sealing member covered over an outer side of the inspection port and the plug, such that external air is stopped from entering into a space between the sealing member and the protection suit before the sealing member is opened.

6. The air ventilated protection suit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the seal flap set includes a left flap and a right flap, which can be fastened to each other to prevent air from entering the protection suit via the entry/exit opening; and the left and right flaps of the seal flap set being fastened to each other at a position offset from the zipper on the entry/exit opening.
