Protective hood

Abstract

The invention relates to a protective hood (1) which is integral with a protective clean-room garment (8), said hood (1) having: an outer surface (2) provided such as to be in contact with a surrounding environment; an inner surface provided such as to be in contact with the head of a user; a head-insertion section (3); a face opening (4) provided level with the eyes of the user; and first and second means (5) for connecting protective goggles (L), said connection means (5) being connected to said hood on either side of the face opening (4), respectively, said hood including, in the packaged state and upon wearing, protective goggles (L) retained on the hood (1) by at least one of said first and second connection means.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a head guard which is an integral part of a protective suit in a clean room, said cover providing: [0002] The outer surface, the outer surface is designed to be in contact with the surrounding environment, [0003] an inner surface, the inner surface is designed to be in contact with the user's head, [0004] for parts passing through the head, [0005] a facial opening that is at eye level with the user, and [0006] First and second attachment means of safety glasses are attached, the attachment means being secured to the shield on both sides of the face opening. Background technique [0007] Such a hood is known from document FR2928260, where a strap that allows the initial adjustment of the hood for the user's head (by fastening the strap behind the head) is also used when wearing Thread through the loop on the safety glasses. According to the previous document, these straps thus constitute the attachment mea...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0013] All these stages for fitting the safety glasses increase the risk of handling errors (dropping the safety glasses, contaminating the front of the goggles...) and thus increasing the risk of contamination

It should be noted that, as indicated above with respect to document FR2928260, the same problem can be observed with safety glasses, the positioning of which involves attaching the strap to the back of the head, an operation that is more restricted than in the case of elastic straps, dropping The risk of falling and contamination is even more significant

[0014] It is therefore evident that at present, even if safety glasses are among the preferred devices, recourse to safety glasses as a device for eye protection is restrictive, requires several manipulations of the glasses and the connecting system (elastic straps, straps...), slows down impairs the donning process and significantly increases the risk of contamination

The fact that the possibility of safety glasses falling out exists and the many operations required to install the safety glasses increases in a non-negligible manner the risk of transferring contaminants from the operator to the safety glasses and then to the surrounding environment

Furthermore, the methods of this technique generally involve separate sterile packaging for the mask and safety glasses, these two elements are not subjected to the same sterilization conditions

The operator therefore has to open two different packages, which again increases the risk of contamination transfer in a non-negligible way
