Problems solved by technology

However, when the headgear 14 portion of the hood 10 covers all or most of the back of the wearer's head, his or her hair may become bunched or tangled within the hood.
Not only can this cause discomfort to the wearer, but it can also compromise the proper fit of the hood and possibly compromise the seal of the mask against the wearer's face

Abstract

A headnet (20) for first responders has a net lattice (22) formed to cover the first responder's head (100) from the first responder's frontal bone area (102) to the occipital bone area (104) in support of protective turnout gear for respiratory protection (44) with a first set of straps (24a, 24b) extending forward from a level approximate to the intersection of the first responder's parietal bone (108) and occipital bone (104) and a second set of straps (28a, 28b) extending forward from a level approximate to the lower portion of the first responder's occipital bone (104). The headnet (22) has an opening (36) formed within the headnet (22) that is vertically centered with the back of the first responder and horizontally between the two straps (24, 28), having sufficient area in either anextended state or non-extended state to pull through the first responder's hair (46).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to personal protective equipment, and in particular to methods and systems for ensuring proper fit of personal protective equipment on wearers with long hair, such as first responders. Background technique [0002] The many types of personal protective equipment worn by first responders include head coverings. For example, the hood may be strapped or coupled to a panel for the respiratory system and used to support the panel on the wearer's face. The hood may enclose all or a substantial portion of the wearer's head. [0003] First responders with long hair, such as firefighters, face problems with improper fitting of respiratory equipment. Such as figure 1 As can be seen, the known breathing apparatus includes a hood 10 to support the face shield of the first responder. Presently known hoods 10 may generally include one or more straps 12 connected to an at least substantially continuous hood 14 . However, when the he...
