An air delivery hose (10) has a CBRN resistant outer butyl rubber layer (12) convolute over a metal wire reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane inner hose (14). A combination unit respirator (20) has an air delivery hose (10, 10) with a proximal end (22) with a three position lockable switch (40) that allows selection of APR, PAPR or SCBA modes, and a distal end (24) with a compact demand valve (30) responsive to the switch position. A filter cover accessory (60) is a modular accessory to a PAPR manifold that protects a PAPR filter (62) from premature degradation in harsh environments.

There is disclosed a lung demand valve comprising: a body within which is disposed a diaphragm and a valve assembly having a valve inlet, the valve assembly and diaphragm arranged to cooperate to control the delivery of breathable gas to a user. There is also provided a breathable gas inlet fluidically connected to the valve inlet inside the body and arranged to be fluidically connected to a supply of breathable gas; and a whistle coupled to the body. The whistle has a whistle inlet fluidically connected to the breathable gas inlet inside the body and a whistle outlet disposed outside the body. In use, when the pressure of the breathable gas in the breathable gas inlet is less than a threshold, breathable gas flows from the breathable gas inlet through the whistle inlet and outlet thereby causing the whistle to sound outside of the body.

A pulsed oxygen delivery system is disclosed for a closed breathing environment, which includes a source of gaseous oxygen, a phase dilution type oronasal dispensing mask worn by a user in a closed breathing environment defined by a pressure suit, and a pulse control module for delivering a timed and metered bolus of oxygen from the source of gaseous oxygen to the oronasal dispensing mask upon inhalation by the user.

An exhale valve assembly includes a housing, a valve carrier body, a primary valve assembly, a plunger, a lock assembly, and an air pressure activated actuator assembly. The valve carrier body is disposed the housing and has a passageway. The primary valve assembly is mounted to the valve carrier body. A first air flow path passes through the passageway and a second air flow path passes through the primary valve assembly. The plunger is configured to permit a flow through the first air flow path when the plunger is in a first position and to direct a flow through the second air flow path when the plunger is in a second position. The lock assembly is configured to secure the plunger in the first position. The air pressure activated actuator assembly is configured to release the lock responsive to a pressure change within the cavity of the housing.

A demand regulator for a breathing apparatus. The demand regulator comprises: a flow regulation mechanism for regulating a flow of breathing gas, the flow regulation mechanism having a closed configuration in which breathing gas flow is substantially prevented; a connection mechanism for releasably connecting the flow regulator to a breathing mask, the connection mechanism comprising a release actuator for releasing the connection mechanism; a latch configured to be activated to thereby releasably retain the flow regulation mechanism in the closed configuration; a first latch activation mechanism configured for manual actuation by a user to thereby activate the latch; and a second latch activation mechanism configured to be actuated by the release actuator of the connection mechanism to thereby activate the latch during release of the connection mechanism.
