A protective hood that can be easily worn and that has an excellent degree of contact is described, where the protective hood includes: a hood that covers the head of the wearer; an opening formed at a position corresponding to the face of the wearer; and a latching tool A that can be latched around the head of the wearer and is provided on the upper side of the opening.

This invention offers a fully protective cowl neck garment with various fasteners designed to attach additional protective gear, such as gloves and shoe coverings. Additionally, a temperature sensor shield is located on the hat and protective mask. This allows the clients or patients the ability to see and to monitor the temperature of their caregivers. The caregiver's temperature is visible on the hat, as well as the face mask. This makes the caregivers accountable to their clients or patients, as well as their colleagues and coworkers. This invention eliminates the worry of contact with infectious diseases or dangerous liquids, by utilizing elastic manual ties and hook-and-loop fasteners to ensure the garment is secured fully on a user's body. Overall, this invention ensures medical professionals, firemen, emergency medical personnel, government workers, and so forth, are protected fully from contagious and infectious diseases, liquids, and so forth.

A firefighting water garment consists of a reinforced cotton fabric with combing manufactured through weaving of doubled yarn with loose end with an area weight approximately 346 g/m2 which is able to absorb up to six-times more liquid than it weights. The fabric is soaked with a water solution that consists of 50% of water, at least, of 2.7 to 50% of extinguishing agent and of 1 to 10% of a component reflecting heat radiation. Another necessary component is powder titanium dioxide which reflects heat radiation perfectly. Evaporation of water from the suit occurs under presence of fire, and the water starts to cool surface of the fabric and thus prevents overheating of the organism. This way marked extension of time for suit exposure in the fire and prevention of rise of dangerous burns on skin is achieved.

Protective garments are disclosed having a fabric material treated with a durable water resistant treatment. In accordance with the present disclosure, the durable water resistant treatment is substantially free of fluorocarbon chemicals and yet provides not only excellent water resistance, but also has excellent durability properties.

A protective hood that can be securely positioned on a user's head. The protective hood includes a section that aligns with the user's eyes and provides for them to see through. Another section aligns with the user's mouth and restricts fluids from the user's mouth from passing beyond the section. The protective hood is design to be placed onto the top of the user's head and be pulled over their eyes and mouth.

An autonomous cooling vest to cool its user by evaporating a coolant in contact with the user's skin surface is described. Multifunctional panels attached to the vest in the parts corresponding to the human body are permeable to ambient air and contain a liquid retaining screen kept in contact with the user's skin. The cooling support system automatically controls the transfer of the coolant liquid contained in a reservoir to each screen and allows the user to adjust the operation of the system to activate and deactivate the ventilation on the liquid retained in the screens and adjust the amount of liquid dispersed over the screens as needed. The flow of air ventilated by the fans and the air that permeates through the referred multifunctional panels favor the evaporation of the liquid retained in the screens, promoting the user's cooling.

There are provided firefighter protective pants including an inner liner, an outer shell and two pant legs. The outer shell is made of a flame-resistant material and extends over at least a portion of the inner liner. Each of the two pant legs includes a knee sleeve affixed to the inner liner at a knee height inside the corresponding pant leg and a knee pad held on the knee sleeve and extending across a front knee portion of the corresponding pants leg.

A chemical protective poncho system for encapsulating a patient is presented. The system has a body extending a length between a top end and a bottom end and having a hood attached near the top end and having a liner attached near the bottom end. The system includes a layer of adsorbent impregnated media capable of filtering chemical agents while allowing oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass through the material. The chemical protective poncho is specially adapted to fit over the top of a patient and chemically seal the lower portion of the patient while allowing the patient ambulatory freedom. The system also includes ports for intravenous access as well as a port for respiratory access. The system may also include a powered air purifying respirator which positively pressurizes the interior space of the system.

There is provided a process for manufacturing a firefighter protective garment. The process includes providing an outer shell material having an exposed surface; printing one or more reflective features directly on the exposed surface of the outer shell material; cutting the outer shell material to define outer shell panels; and assembling the outer shell panels to form an outer shell of the firefighter protective garment with the reflective features facing outwardly of said garment. There is also provided a firefighter protective garment, including an inner liner and an outer shell made from a flame-resistant material, the outer shell extending over at least a portion of the inner liner. The outer shell has an outermost surface, the outermost surface including reflective features printed directly thereon, the reflective features facing outwardly of said firefighter protective garment. The garment may be a firefighter protective coat and/or firefighter protective pants.

1. Method and device for connecting a protective cover to a safety cover sealed against the environment.

2. The invention relates to a method and an assigned device for connecting a first at least partially flexible protective cover (2) sealed against the environment, which cover forms a barrier between a contaminated (12) and an uncontaminated area, to a second at least partially flexible safety cover (20) including the process stages listed below: Transferring the protective cover (2) out of the contaminated area (12) by inverting the protective cover (2) over an opening such that its inside is turned out and then severing it from the safety cover (20) and closing the opening; or transferring the protective cover (2) from the contaminated area (12) by sheathing the protective cover (2) with the safety cover (20) as it is pulled through a passage and subsequent severing of both covers (2, 20) from the safety cover (20) and closing the sheathing; or pulling the protective cover (2) back into the contaminated area (12) and then sealing the ends shut to sever the safety cover(20) by forming a further sealed joint between adjacent film parts.
