RESUSCITATING SEESAW Filed April 11, 1952 IN VEN TOR.
Patented July 13, 1954 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE RESUSCITATING SEESAW Anthony F. McCavic, Virginia, Minn.
Application April 11, 1952, Serial No. 281,804
3 Claims. 1
This invention relates to new and useful improvements and structural refinements in resuscitating apparatus, particularly resuscitating see-saws, and the principal object of the invention is to provide an apparatus of this nature which is very simple in construction, which may be conveniently and easily manipulated and which, when not in use, may be efiectively supported and displayed in a prominent manner so that it may be quickly and easily noticed in case of an emergency.
With the above more important objects and features in view, and such other objects and features as may become apparent as this specification proceeds, the invention consists essentially of the arrangement and construction of parts as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the invention in use;
Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view of the invention per se;
Figure 3 is a fragmentary sectional detail, taken substantially in the plane of the line 3-3 in Figure 2; and,
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the invention while it is being displayed during inactivity.
Like characters of reference are employed to designate like parts in the specification and throughout the several views.
Referring now to the accompanying drawings in detail, the invention consists of a resuscitating see-saw which is designated generally by the reference character It and embodies in its construction a suitable base l2 having a pair of transversely spaced vertical standards I 4 thereon, the upper ends of the standards preferably being rounded or hemispherical, as indicated at IS.
The patient carrier designated generally by the reference character l8 consists of a pair of spaced side members 20 having tubular end portions 2| an elongated flexible sheet 22 which is disposed between the side member and has its opposite side edges suitably connected thereto, as will be clearly apparent.
The side members 20 are provided at the underside of their intermediate portions with apertures or openings 24 so that the upper end portions of the standards l4 may project therein to rockably engage convex sockets 26 which are fastened inside the side members 20 in any suitable manner.
When the invention is placed in use, a patient is positioned on the sheet 22 as shown in Figure 1 2 and the entire carrier is is rocked in a see-saw fashion on the upper ends of the standards M, the tubular ends 2| of the side members l2 func tioning as handles, as will be clearly apparent.
When the invention is not in use, the carrier 18 is simply removed from the standards I! by withdrawing the upper endportions of the standards from the recesses 24, whereupon the carrier may be vertically disposed as shown in Figure 4 and the end portions 2| of the side members 20 slidably telescoped over the upright standards M so as to sustain the carrier in its vertical position wherein the location thereof may be easily observed.
Transverse stop pins 28 may be provided in the standards l4 adjacent the base I 2 so as to limit the downward sliding movement of the carrier on the standards.
It is believed that the advantages and use of the invention will be readily understood from the foregoing disclosure and accordingly, further de scription thereof at this point is deemed unnecessary.
While in the foregoing there has been shown and described the preferred embodiment of this invention it is to be understood that minor changes in the details of construction, combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
Having described the claimed as new is:
1. A resuscitating seesaw comprising a pair of spaced vertical standards, and a patient carrier, comprising a pair of spaced side members, intermediate portions of said side members being provided at the underside thereof with downwardly opening apertures, concave sockets provided in said side members above said apertures, upper end portions of said standards extending through the apertures and rockably engaging said sockets, and an elongated flexible sheet disposed between and having its opposite side edges connected to the respective side members.
2. A resuscitating see-saw comprising a pair of spaced vertical standards, and a patient carinvention, what is rier comprising a pair of spaced side members having tubular end portions provided intermediate the ends thereof with downwardly disposed sockets rockably receiving the upper ends of the standards, and an elongated flexible sheet disposed between and having its opposite side edges connected to the respective side members, said sockets and the upper ends of said standards being complementally hemispherically shaped,
said side members teiescopingly fitting over said standards when the patient carrier is not in use.
3. A resuscitating see-saw comprising a pair of spaced vertical standards, and a patient carrier, comprising a pair of spaced side members having tubular end portions, intermediate portions of said side members being provided at the underside thereof with downwardly opening apertures, concave sockets provided in said side members above said apertures, upper end portions of said standards extending through the apertures and rockably engaging said sockets, and an elongated 4 flexible sheet disposed between and having its opposite side edges connected to the respective side members, the side Walls of said side members preventing lateral displacement of said mem- 5 bers from said standards.
