| Abstract |
This dust helmet, developed in the United Kingdom by the Safety in Mines Research Establishment (SMRE), consists basically of a conventional miner's helmet, incorporating a battery-powered fan and removable filter. Air is drawn from behind the wearer, dust particles removed, and the clean air is then passed down over the wearer's face behind a movable visor. Protection is also ensured against flying particles, and respiratory protection is achieved without the discomfort associated with face masks. For mining use, the fan and filter can be powered by the small surplus capacity of the cap lamp battery. 2 versions have been devised, for mining and for industrial use. |
