A system includes a pressure regulator including a housing, an inlet for connection to a pressurized gas comprising oxygen, and at least one energy transfer element. The system further includes a respiration facepiece including at least one seal system to form a sealing engagement with the face of a user to encompass the nose and mouth of the user, thereby creating a volume of sealing engagement between the respiration facepiece and the user, an opening into the volume of sealing engagement of the respiration facepiece in communicative connection with an interface for removable attachment of the pressure regulator to the respiration facepiece, and an inspiration port in fluid connection with the interface and in fluid connection with the volume of sealing engagement. The pressure regulator interface includes at least one cooperating energy transfer element such that energy can be transferred between the at least one energy transfer element and the at least one cooperating energy transfer element to transfer at least one of data or power into the volume of sealing engagement.

Data communication and displays for breathing apparatus facepieces and pressure regulators

An embodiment relates to a hose device for a breathing apparatus, characterized by at least one electric line () and at least one pressure line () within the open-cross-section of the hose device ().

Hose device for a breathing apparatus

A respiration system includes a pressure regulator including a housing, an inlet for connection to a pressurized gas comprising oxygen, and a first data communication system, and a respiration facepiece including an interface to which the pressure regulator is removably attachable, at least one seal system to form a sealing engagement with the face of a user to encompass the nose and mouth of a wearer; an inspiration port in fluid connection with the pressure regulator interface and in fluid connection with the interior of the facepiece and at least one display within a volume of sealing engagement with the face of the user that is within the field of view of the user. The pressure regulator interface includes a second data communication system to receive data from the first data communication system to control the at least one display. A sealing attachment may, for example, be formed between the pressure regulator and the interface of the facepiece.

A coupling for a compressed gas cylinder () includes a separate coupling part () that can be screwed to the standardized fitting () on the cylinder valve (). The connection to the coupling means () of a pressure reducer () or the like is provided by plug-and-socket-type connecting means that can be plugged into each other, interlocked, and closed off by means of locking elements to prevent contamination from outside, the locking element provided on the coupling part at the same time forming a blow-off protection that allows only a limited gas flow when the cylinder valve is opened in uncoupled condition.
