Welder protection mask

Abstract

A welder protection mask, containing a basic support element with a viewing opening for receiving a filter element as a dazzle protection device. The welder protection mask includes at least one pliable mask region which connects to the basic support element, and the pliable mask region contains a sheet-like, wall-like mask element or consists thereof, which is characterised by a characteristic that it is manually deformable and may be bent into different positions or three-dimensional shapes.

1 . A welder protection mask, containing a basic support element with a viewing opening for receiving a filter element as a dazzle protection, wherein the welder protection mask comprises:
 at least one pliable mask region which connects to the basic support element, and   wherein the pliable mask region contains a sheet-like, wall-like mask element or consists thereof, which is characterised by the characteristic that the mask element is manually deformable and may be bent into different positions or three-dimensional shapes.   
     
     
         2 . A welder protection mask according to  claim 1 , wherein the pliable mask element is characterised by the characteristic that it is plastically deformable in a manual manner, and is self-supporting and shape-stable before as well as after a manual reshaping step. 
     
     
         3 . A welder protection mask according to  claim 1 , wherein the pliable mask region comprises a flexible, pliable sheet-like mask element which via a support and locking device fastened directly or indirectly on the welder protection mask, on the basic support element, may be fixed and supported in a certain position or shaping. 
     
     
         4 . A welder protection mask according to  claim 3 , wherein the welder protection mask comprises a head strap for wearing the welder protection mask, said head strap being fastened on the basic support element, and the support and locking device is attached on the head strap. 
     
     
         5 . A welder protection mask according to  claim 1 , wherein the flexible, pliable mask element is or contains a sheet-like, textile sheet formation. 
     
     
         6 . A welder projection mask according to  claim 1 , wherein the mask element is composed of a composite of at least two materials, wherein at least a first material is plastically deformable and exerts a shape-stabilising effect on the mask element. 
     
     
         7 . A welder protection mask according to  claim 6 , wherein the pliable mask element as a first material has one or an arrangement of several metal elements which assumes or assume a material composite with a flexible or deformable material, with a material containing or consisting of plastic, as a second material. 
     
     
         8 . A welder protection mask according to  claim 6 , wherein the pliable mask element comprises one or more metal elements which are coated on one or on both sides with a plastic. 
     
     
         9 . A welder protection mask according to  claim 6 , wherein the metal element or metal elements of the pliable mask element are two-dimensional-like metal elements, such as sheet metals or metal films or metal wires. 
     
     
         10 . A welder protection mask according to  claim 6 , wherein the material composite as a first or second material comprise a textile sheet formation. 
     
     
         11 . A welder protection mask according to  claim 5 , wherein the textile sheet formation comprises one or a combination of two or more of the following materials, or consist thereof:
 plastic fibres   carbon fibres   glass fibres   metal fibres/metal wire.   
     
     
         12 . A welder projection mask according to  claim 5 , wherein the textile sheet formation is coated on one or on both sides with a plastic. 
     
     
         13 . A welder protection mask according to  claim 1 , wherein the pliable mask region edges the basic support element at least on sections, preferably completely. 
     
     
         14 . A welder projection mask according to  claim 1 , wherein the welder protection mask comprises at least one or any combination of two or more than two of the following zones, which are designed as pliable mask regions:
 side zones for covering the ear portions;   a neck zone for covering at least a part of the neck portion;   a crown zone for covering at least a part of the crown region (head upper side);   a rear head zone for covering at least a part of the rear head,   a nape zone for covering at least a part of the nape of the neck;   a jaw zone for covering at least a part of the lower jaw portion.
