Abstract

The integrated facemask firefighting hood packing system allows a hood to be packed on a facemask. This system reduces the possibility of a hood being in the way of a user when it is not in use.

A hood packed and a facemask, the facemask for being in contact with the perimeter of the face with the first connector means secured to at least one portion of a hood and a second connector means secured to at least a second portion of the hood such that the first and second connector means are compatible.

2. A hood packed with a facemask, the facemask for being in contact with the perimeter of the face with a first connector means secured to at least one portion of the facemask and a second connector means secured to at least a second portion of the hood such that the first and second connector means are compatible.

3. An integrated hood and facemask, the hood with the packed facemask, the facemask for being in contact with the perimeter of the face with a first connector means secured to at least one portion of a hood and the second connector means secured to at least a second portion of the hood such that the first and second connector means are compatible.

4. An integrated hood and facemask, the hood with the packed facemask, the facemask for being in contact with the perimeter of the face with a first connector means secured to at least one portion of the facemask and a second connector means secured to at least a second portion of the hood such that the first and second connector means are compatible.
