1 FIRE-P~OTECTING _U

BAG~GROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a fire-protecting suit which comprises a fire-proof eye shield, an air tank mouthpiece (or gas filter mouthpiece) and a cap-lamp directly fastened to the face mask of the fire-protective clothing thereof, and which can be quickly dressed in within a very short time.

The protective clothing for a fire-fighter is generally made of asbestos or metallic fabric which is simply a protective covering. Therefore, a mask and an air tank shall be separately prepared. The air tanks which are commonly used by fire-fighters are heavy and not suitable for home use. It has been known that .most victims of fire disasters were died because of the blockade of the nasal passage by a thick smoke. If any person in the scene of a fire can be equipped with a protective apparatus within a short time, one's life and many precious articles may be saved.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has been accomplished under the aforesaid circumstances. According to the `\7f~

l present invention, a fire-protecting suit is generally comprised of ~ protective clothing, a fire-proof eye shield, A mouthpiece and a cap-lamp, an air tank (or a gas filter) and a battery power supply. The fire-proof eye shield and the cap-lamp are directly fastened to the face mask of the protective clothing. The mouthpiece is directly sewn on the face mask on the inside. The air tank and the battery power supply are received inside the protective clothing.
A pocket is made on the front side of the protective clothing for saving precious articles. When not in use, the fire-protecting suit is folded up inside out. When in use, the face mask is put on the head to let the protective clothing fall down and cover over the body. Once the hands are respectively inserted through the sleeves of the protective clothing and extended to the outside, the fire-protecting suit is dressed in, and therefore one is well-equipped to perform the task of a fire-fighter. Any important documents or precious articles taken from the scene of a fire can be saved in the front pocket of the protective clothing. Because the mouthpiece and other accessories are received inside the protective clothing, the user is permitted to get closer to or pass through the scene of a fire to fight the fire or rescue the people in the scene of the fire.
