![]() ![]() OKZK Headgear has been observed to be used with a number of different protective gear including: the PMK Respirator the R2 Half-Mask Respirator various “helmet-type” respirators and as mentioned previously, the OPF Goggles. An opening on the left hand side of the Collar allowed a filter to pass through and connect to its respective mask (usually the PMK). The 2 bilateral collar ‘flaps’ are also held together at the midline by a similar system. The OKZK Cap is connected to its associated Collar through the use of a button system. ![]() These goggles were used by the Soviet Military when dealing with situations involving high intensity nuclear flashes and have been observed to be worn with the OKZK Protective Suit alongside other setups (including the KZS suit). Made by: This example was made in the city of Saratov.ĭescription: The OPF ( ОПФ ) Goggles were flash protective eyewear that utilized green photochromic glass lenses (that is, these lenses darkened on exposure to light of a sufficient and specific intensity/wavelength). This example was produced in the first quarter (between January and March) of 1984. OPF Photochromic Flash Protective Goggles It could also have been used as a drainage hole. I suspect that this may have been used when a larger filter was employed. A hole surrounded by a metal ring can be found at the bottom of the bag. All of these are held together by ‘peg-type’ fasteners. Its rubberised fabric carrier bag has a number of pockets to contain the accessories mentioned earlier and is closed internally by 2 rubberised fabric wings and externally by a flap. ![]() It is assumed that the ‘87’ on the left side of the mask refers to its form. The face-piece exhibited here is a size 1 and was produced in the first quarter (January – April) of 1981 in Yaroslavl (Ярославль). The exhale valve component is made up 2 valves, one internal and one external. The style of the Voice Diaphragm Cover protects the membrane underneath from damage due to heat and rocket fuel fumes. The 2 main differences include its Voice Diaphragm Cover (which is similar to that of the ШМС-Р Face-piece or PRV-U Gas Mask), the separation of the Filter Input and Exhale Valve and the absence of ‘ear holes’. The SHM-70R is a helmet-style respirator that bears a slight resemblance to the ШМ-66м (PMG-2 Face-piece). The PRVM Kit consisted of the SHM-70R (ШМ-70Р) Face-piece, a carrier bag, a КРВ-М filter (not pictured), anti-dimming lenses and NMU-1M insulating outserts. This was replaced by the PRV-U in the mid-1970s and the PRV-M in the 1980s. Made by: This example was made in Yaroslavlĭescription: The first gas mask developed for use by Russian missile handlers and rocket refuelers was the PRV. Used by: Missile Handlers/Rocket Refuelers This Mask was produced in the first quarter (between January and April) of 1981 These were sewn together at home.Ĭopies of this mask include the Czech OR1 which was produced out of white fabric and had round lenses, instead of the conventional rectangular ones displayed by its Russian counterpart. PTM-1s were produced by civilians who were taught to cut the mask’s pattern through public demonstration. This range of diversity is due to the use of both new and worn textiles, which could be used so long as the material was not threadbare or soiled. The mask was made in 7 sizes and has been observed in a wide variety of colours including: white grey green blue red and the odd ‘pyjama colour scheme’. 2 celluloid, plastic or glass eyepieces were integrated into the front of the mask, providing the individual with a field of view. The mask’s simple design consisted of a fabric (coarse calico, staple/knitted linen or plaid) body made up of 2 parts and held onto the user’s head by elastic straps. This is justified by a translated publication released by the US Army Foreign Science and Technology Center in 1965 (original document published in 1963). As many of the trainees brought different coloured supplies with them, many variants arose)ĭescription: The PTM-1 Anti-dust mask was used by Russian civilians throughout the 1960s as a form of protection from radioactive dust (arising from nuclear fallout that follows the detonation of a nuclear bomb). Public Instructors taught trainees how to cut out and sew up these Masks from fabric. Made by: Civilians (These masks were produced by Civilians, for Civilians. Years used: Assumed to have been used throughout the 1960s - 1970s. ![]()
