摘要: An exposure indicating apparatus for monitoring air flowing along a flow-through path extending from the external environment, through an air purifying respirator cartridge and into a face mask. A reversible sensor is releasably attached to the flow-through path so that it can be removed without interrupting the flow of air along the flow-through path. A processing device generates a concentration signal responsive to at least one property of the reversible sensor. The processing device provides and active indication, such as audio, visual, or tactile response to the concentration signal. A flow-through housing may form a portion of the flow-through path. The flow-through housing is preferably interposed between the air purifying cartridge and the face mask. A processor housing containing the processing device and indicator is attached to the flow-through housing or the air purifying respirator cartridge. The reversible sensor is located in the processor housing, the air purifying respirator cartridge or the flow-through housing. The sensor is coupled to the processing device by an optical, electrical, or general electromagnetic coupler covering the frequency range, for example, from DC to RF to microwave.

摘要: A respirator (10) that includes a face piece (14) and a cartridge receiving structure (22) located on the face piece (14). The face piece (14) is sized to fit snugly over the nose and mouth of a person, and the filter cartridge (12) is capable of being manually snapped into engagement with the cartridge receiving structure (22). The snap-fit can be instantaneously obtained without rotational movement of the filter cartrdige (12), simply by pressing the filter cartridge (12) against the receiving structure (22).

摘要: An exposure indicating apparatus having a sensor with at least one property responsive to a concentration of a target species within an environment. A processing device generates a concentration signal as a function of the at least one property. The exposure signaling rate varies as a function of the concentration signal. Alternatively, the processing device may provide a threshold detector for generating a threshold signal in response to the concentration signal when a predetermined threshold concentration is attained. The exposure signaling rate may then vary thereafter as a function of the concentration signal. The processing device drives the indicator at a ready signaling rate indicative of an exposure indicating apparatus operating within predefined design parameters and a fault signaling rate different from the ready signaling rate indicative of the exposure indicating apparatus operating outside of the predefined desing parameters. The indicator operates at a signaling rate in the frequency range of 0.001 to 30 Hz.
