DEF

Máscara que cubre la boca y la nariz para proteger al que respira, o a quien está en su proximidad, de posibles agentes patógenos o tóxicos.

OBS

mascarilla: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que las palabras que sirven para especificar el tipo de "mascarilla" se escriben con minúscula al no ser nombres propios (higiénica, quirúrgica, textil, filtrante, etc.). Sin embargo, algunos nombres son siglas, como es el caso de las FFP —del inglés "filtering face piece"—, y en ellos lo adecuado es respetar las mayúsculas. Cuando estas denominaciones de "mascarillas" añaden a la sigla un número —que indica el grado de protección—, lo correcto es escribirlo unido.

OBS

La forma "cubreboca" es un compuesto válido —de cubrir y boca— usado en algunas zonas en referencia a una "mascarilla sanitaria" (que también recibe, según el lugar, nombres como "tapaboca" o "tapabocas", "barbijo" o "nasobuco"). Es también válida la variante "cubrebocas".

Subject field(s)
  • Mine Passages
DEF

A form of advance support in loose ground for tunnels and workings.

OBS

Forepoles are driven from behind the permanent supports and into the loose ground and usually angled outwards. The method provides temporary protection to the miners at the face until space is available for erecting another set of permanent supports. On longwall faces, slots may be made in a soft band over the coal seam into which steel straps are forced. After the coal has been worked, the straps may be supported by props or again advanced to provide a measure of pre-support at the face.

OBS

Roof support method where horizontal bars are supported by a cantilever arrangement.
