OPERATION OF APPARATUS. As the wearer of -the apparatus exhales, the air from his lungs passes into the breathing chamber through the mouth- piece, thence through the absorption cartridge, which absorbs the CO2 and allows the un combined oxygen (and nitrogen if there is any left) to pass into the breathing bag. The absorp- tion of oxygen by the body causes a decrease in volume of the air in the breathing bag which, in flattening out, allows a weight to come in contact with and operate the autom...atic oxygen-inlet valve which supplies fresh oxygen to the bag. Those unfamiliar with the necessity for the obviously un- comfortable tight-fitting mouthpiece and nose clip frequently BREATHING APPARATUS. 21 suggest that these features be eliminated by the providing of a mask face piece or helmet covering the entire head into which the wearer would breathe through his nose, leaving the mouth free for conversation.
