| Abstract: | This diploma thesis deals with an exemplary restoration of a representative rescue oxygen apparatus for mines produced between 1904 and 1910 from the collection of the Deutsche Bergbaumuseum Bochum. Besides talking about the historical meaning of the apparatus, the thesis focuses on its function and technology. One emphasis is the examination and removing of mould from the leather components. Furthermore the state of the leather is determined and the sealing of tears in the leather straps is discussed in a test. Afterwards the stabilization of the apparatus’ rubber parts, which are degraded to different degrees, is reviewed. Concerning the collection of the museum, the climatically conditions of the depot is examined. The thesis also discusses how one could transfer the methods used to restore the Draeger-Rescue-Apparatus 1904/09 to the remaining objects of the collection. |
