Abstract
Les modes de réalisation concernent de manière générale des systèmes et des procédés relatifs à un masque qui est retenu par la bouche de l'utilisateur, le masque fournissant de l'air respirable filtré lorsqu'un utilisateur revêt et/ou enlève un vêtement de protection. Le procédé consiste à : fixer un masque filtrant à l'intérieur d'un vêtement de protection, une pièce faciale du masque étant placée à l'intérieur d'un capuchon du vêtement, et le masque étant maintenu en place par une boucle sur l'intérieur du vêtement ; enfiler le vêtement, la pièce faciale du masque étant placée sur le côté de la tête de l'utilisateur, à l'intérieur du capuchon du vêtement ; avant d'enlever le vêtement, placer le masque sur le visage de l'utilisateur de sorte que l'utilisateur saisisse dans sa bouche l'embout buccal du masque ; et enlever le vêtement en maintenant le masque maintenu contre le visage de l'utilisateur pour protéger l'utilisateur de l'air dangereux.
