This invention relates to a replaceable eye-protecting lens system for breathing masks that is easy to handle and ensures a firm and safe, i.e. gas-tight fit of the lenses in the body of the mask. It is the object and problem of this invention to create a replaceable eye-protecting lens system that provides a wide field of vision for the person wearing the mask and ensures a mechanically firm and gas-tight fit of mask body and lens. This problem is solved according to the invention by creating a replaceable lens system for breathing masks wherein a groove-shaped holding fixture is placed on the rim of eye-protecting lens which holds a fastening element of the mask body and a locking ring

Replaceable lens system

A protective breathing mask has a connector housing unit having a connector housing for accommodating breathing mask components. The connector housing unit has a flange-like collar extending from the connector housing. The flange-like collar has a connecting rim. A mask body made of an elastomer has a profile-reinforced portion defining a cutout for the connector housing unit and the profile-reinforced portion is shaped to match the peripheral rim. A clamping ring is provided for fixedly securing the profile-reinforced portion at the connecting rim. The clamping ring has a slot for holding the profile-reinforced portion. The clamping ring is shaped to match the connecting rim of the flange-like collar and has a connecting surface for connecting the clamping ring to the collar at the connecting rim.
