ABSTRACT:
A protective enclosure fabricated from a clear, flexible, plastic material that, in the event of an emergency, is easily positionable over at least the head of a wearer to protect the wearer from the adverse effects of a contaminated environment, such as that filled with smoke or similar noxious fumes.
The enclosure is provided with an opened side for receiving therethrough the head of the wearer. The ends of the enclosure which define the opened side thereof are structured so as to generally conform to the shape of a human chest. The aforementioned ends which define the opened side are provided with fastening means by which the opened side may, be secured to the chest of the wearer in order to form an airtight fit therebetween and thereby close the opened end against the chest and around the neck of the wearer.
Hence, a relatively low cost, reliable, and easily operable protective enclosure is provided that can be folded and conveniently placed in a pouch for either storage or distribution, such as to the occupants of a high-rise building or to passengers of an airplane for use in the event of fire, or similar catastrophe.
