CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62/831,013, filed on April 8, 2019, entitled "ACCESSORY FOR MANIKIN
TRAINING
DEVICE," the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
FIELD OF INVENTION
[0002] The present application is directed to an accessory for a medical training device, and more particularly to an accessory for a portable training manikin for teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
[0003] Providing inexpensive medical training manikins which can be used in a training environment for groups of trainees has become an important component of first aid training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED).
Such medical training manikins are of necessity lightweight for easy transportation to the training site, as well as compact for ease of packing and carrying, and for simple and quick assembly.
Such medical training manikins are of necessity lightweight for easy transportation to the training site, as well as compact for ease of packing and carrying, and for simple and quick assembly.
[0004] To ensure that the training manikin devices provide a realistic training experience, clothing, such as a shirt, has been added to the training manikin so that performing CPR and AED device training includes the realistic and required step of removing clothing from the manikin torso to expose the chest prior to use of an AED training device, Unfortunately, as the training manikins are of such a lightweight material and simple construction, the use of clothing on the manikin torso during the first step of CPR training may make it difficult for the student to maintain the manikin in proper position during use.
The manikin "wearing" mock clothing has a tendency to slip or move across the floor surface when the student applies a load to the manikin torso portion during CPR
training. Although a rubber or foam pad, or other anti-skid material, could be used on the floor to support the manikin during training, the addition of such materials requires added weight and space for storage, and time-consuming management by the trainer.

[0005] While many manikin clothing accessories, such as a mock shirt or jacket, are provided by manikin manufacturers, none of the clothing accessories incorporates any anti-slip features to overcome this problem.
SUMMARY
SUMMARY
[0006] The present clothing accessory for a medical training device provides a number of improved features over prior clothing accessory manikin products.
The present accessory is a mock shirt, jacket or other clothing for fitting a CPR training manikin. The accessory may appear from the front as a mock shirt or jacket when "worn" by the manikin.
The clothing accessory has a front panel and a back panel. An anti-slip feature is added to the back panel of the accessory. The anti-slip feature may take a variety of forms, such as the use of elastomeric "feet" or button-like projections sewn, or otherwise attached, at the corners or additional locations on the back or back panel of the accessory. In another embodiment, the entire back panel of the accessory may be manufactured of elastomeric material. While these embodiments of the anti-slip feature may provide sufficient resistance to movement of the manikin, the potential for removal of the "feet," the labor cost to add the "feet," and the expensive of elaborate elastomeric materials, may be significant.

The anti-slip feature may take a variety of forms, such as the use of elastomeric "feet" or button-like projections sewn, or otherwise attached, at the corners or additional locations on the back or back panel of the accessory. In another embodiment, the entire back panel of the accessory may be manufactured of elastomeric material. While these embodiments of the anti-slip feature may provide sufficient resistance to movement of the manikin, the potential for removal of the "feet," the labor cost to add the "feet," and the expensive of elaborate elastomeric materials, may be significant.
[0007] Thus, the preferred embodiment of the anti-slip feature is to manufacture the back panel of the accessory from a fabric material that has been manufactured to include small silicone rubber dots or nibs secured to, and extending out of, the surface of the fabric. The use of this anti-slip feature would be provided as the entire back panel, or strips within the hack panel, of the mock shirt, such that the dots of silicone would be in contact with the floor surface when the mock clothing is on the manikin or manikin torso. The clothing accessory may be manufactured with an elastomeric portion along a bottom edge to secure the clothing accessory on the manikin, and also provide a realistic item of clothing.
Alternatively, Velcro , snap or button closures may also be provided to secure the bottom edge. The front closure along the front panel may also be a zipper, Velcro , snaps or button closures. As shown, the mock clothing accessory need not have arm portions, but requires a neck opening, an ability to remove the clothing, such as opening the front to access the chest of the manikin, and a bottom edge which retains the clothing accessory on the manikin torso. As shown, the clothing accessory includes a two-piece front panel, and a one piece back panel.
However, the back panel may be provided in strips containing the anti-slip feature.
Alternatively, Velcro , snap or button closures may also be provided to secure the bottom edge. The front closure along the front panel may also be a zipper, Velcro , snaps or button closures. As shown, the mock clothing accessory need not have arm portions, but requires a neck opening, an ability to remove the clothing, such as opening the front to access the chest of the manikin, and a bottom edge which retains the clothing accessory on the manikin torso. As shown, the clothing accessory includes a two-piece front panel, and a one piece back panel.
However, the back panel may be provided in strips containing the anti-slip feature.
