ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a lift-front type hood adapted for use by firefighters which has an improved latching means. The hood comprises a helmet including a bump cap capable of fitting onto the top of the head of a wearer and a rigid liner attached to the bump cap and extending down from the front of the cap so as to be in front of the face of a wearer, the liner having an opening therein so as to allow a wearer to have vision. The hood further includes a shroud of flexible material attached to the exterior of the helmet and extending about the helmet so as to form a generally cylindrical skirt about the head and upper torso of a wearer, the shroud having an opening therein coextensive with the opening in the liner, and a shield plate comprising a sheet of transparent material covering the opening in the liner and shroud and attached to the liner by hinges. A rotatable latch is on the shield plate which comprises a shaft projecting through a hole in the shield plate, handle means on the end of the shaft on the exterior of the shield plate, and a transverse arm on the other end of the shaft capable of engaging the edge of the opening of the liner so as to lock the shield plate over the opening in the liner and shroud.
