A chemical oxygen device having one or more CO.sub.2 -bonding and O.sub.2 -releasing chemical canisters (2) arranged in a housing (1); a breathing bag (3) for the exhaled air, which itself is arranged in a breathing bag (7) for the inhaled air; an inhalation valve (4); an exhalation valve (5); and a particle filter (6). The usage conditions of chemical oxygen devices is improved by reducing breathing resistances and by an indication of consumption indication in which, at any time, the supply of breathing gas still available is indicated. A bellows (8) is arranged between the breathing bag (3) and chemical canisters (2) to reduce the breathing resistances and the particle filter (6) is arranged at the input of the breathing bag (7). The bellows (8) is connected to an evaluation unit (9), via which the wearer of the chemical oxygen device can check at any time the supply of breathing gas still available.

Chemical oxygen generator breathing device with the exhalation bag

A chemical cartridge for respirators for respirators, the cartridge containing a chemical, e.g., potassium hyperoxide, which when acted upon by carbon dioxide and moisture, produces oxygen from a stream of inhaled air. Two discharge nozzles are provided which project into the chemical and out of which the regenerated exhaled air flows. The incoming flow occurs over a large area and the outflow occurs over a small area with the peripheral surfaces of the discharge nozzles being spaced substantially equidistant from an inlet surface of the chemical, thereby ensuring optimum use of the chemical for oxygen production purposes because a user's exhaled air is caused to flow completely through the entire space occupied by the chemical.
