Abstract

See full text

An alignment and connection mechanism for more quickly attaching a mask-mounted regulator to the facepiece of a self-contained breathing apparatus is disclosed. The alignment and connection mechanism provides an alignment member preferably mounted on the regulator and a guide member preferably mounted on the facepiece. The user initially attaches the alignment member to the guide member at a connection point which is visible to the user through the lens of the facepiece when it is being worn. The regulator is then slid down the guide member until it is in proper alignment for connection to the facepiece.
