NASA-L RESPIRATCR Filed Feb. 25, 1955 Patented Sept. 29, 1955 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE This invention relates to improvements in nasal respirators and particular to that type of nasal respirator which is inserted and retained in the,
nostrils.
An object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which is readily altered in dimensions and contour to fit nostrils of different size and shape.
Another object is to provide, in the device,
means to firmly hold it in place with minimum pressure, to the end that it may be worn without discomfort.
Another object is to provide means whereby the filtering medium employed in the respirator may be removed and renewed expeditiously.
That these and other objects and meritorious features are attained will be readily apparent from a consideration of the description and drawing. In the drawing,
Fig. 1 is a plan view of a sheetmetal blank from which the frame of the respirator is made.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the sheet metal blank for the retainer which holds the filtering medium in the frame.
end view, and vertical cross section respectively of the frame made from the blank Fig. 1.
Figs. '7, 8, and 9 each is top, front, and end view of the retainer made from the blank Fig. 2.
Fig. 10 is a longitudinal vertical section thru the completed device with the filtering material in place.
Character numerals refer to the same parts thruout the several views.
The sheet metal blank ll comprises two strips l2 connected by a bridge H. The strips l2 are arcuate except for the segmental infiexions IS in the edges.
Prongs l6 extend oppositely from the concave 40 sides of the arcuate portions. Two small but sharp indentations l8 are pressed in the metal preferably at the time the blank is cut.
The sheet metal blank comprises two pairs of oppositely extending prongs 22 connected by a 45 bridge 24. The bridge 24 is preferably slightly wider'over the dimension 25 than the bridge l4.
Extending oppositely between each pair of prongs 22 is a short tang 26. The purposes of and the reason for the configuration of the blanks ll and 20 will hereinafter appear.
Resilient sheet metal should be used for the blanks II and 20. It should, however, be sufficiently pliable to permit initial bending to the form shown and subsequent slight hand bending in fitting the device to individual wearers.
Figs. 3, 4, 5, and 6 each is top view, front view,
Aside from the resiliency of the metal, it is highly important that it be of a kind which is non corrosive" as well as non toxic. A metal having these properties in the greatest measure is tantalum which is preferably employed, altho there are other usable materials which possess these qualities to a high degree.
The frame 28, Figs. 3 to 6, is made by bending the arcuate portions l2 of the blank II to compose tapered oval thimbles as. at 30, and by bending the bridge M to compose a yoke 32 connecting of the nose without pinching, since the septum is always the thickest part of the partition separating the two nostrils and second, to provide a member over which the retainer shown in Figs. 7 to 9 may be sprung for the purpose of holding the retainer snugly to the frame.
The prongs I6 are bent over the upper open sides of the ovalthimbles to form a grid which will prevent the filtering material from moving upwardly.
The ends of the arcuate portions l2 of the blank overlap at 3| in the oval thimbles 30, in order that these thimbles may be made larger or smaller to fit the individuals nostrils. The segmental inflexions l 5 of the blank I I appear at the upper edge of the thimbles 30 at one end of the oval as at 33 and are provided for the purpose of clearing the inferior meatus to insure free respiration.
' The retainer 34, Figs. '7 to 9, is formed by bending the blank 20, Fig. 2, to compose'the U shaped yoke 36 having two grids each composed of a pair of the retaining prongs 22 extending oppositely. The tangs 26 are bent so as to point toward each other at the upper open side of the U.
' When it is desired to assemble the retainer 34 and the frame 28 together, as in Fig. 10, the two the prongs 22 obstructs the under side of the 55 openings of the thimble so slightly but suiiicient ly to prevent the filtering material 31 from falling out. a
The filtering material 31 with which the thimbles 30 are preferably filled is lambs wool altho other materials may be used with somewhat less effect. The wool is preferred because of the fact that it has very little tendency to mat together when it becomes moistened, lends itself readily to medication, and has good mechanical straining properties.
Lambs wool is now commercially obtainable for nasal filtering, but is provided in the form of slugs intended to be inserted directly into the nostrils. The difiiculty, however, in using lambs wool in this manner is first, that it must be packed relatively close to provide a slug which will hold itself in the nostril, and second, that the contact of the lambs wool directly with the membrane in the nostrils is in itself irritating.
It will therefore be seen that it is important in the device herein shown that means are provided for holding small quantities of the wool in a fiufiy, spread apart manner and out of contact ,with the membranes, yet so holding them that they will neither be drawn upward nor blown out by the respiratory function.
When it becomes advisable to change the wool in the thimbles 30, the thimbles are pressed toward each other with the thumb and forefinger of one hand and the yoke 36 is grasped on the edge of the metal strip with the thumb and forefinger of the other hand whereby the retainer 34 is removed, the soiled wool removed, new wool inserted, and the retainer put back in place as heretofore described.
It will now be apparent why the bridge 25 is wider over the dimension 25 than the bridge M, for, if the dimension 25 were the same in both bridges, then pressure of the thumb and forefinger on the edges of the metal strip of the yoke 36 would also grasp the yoke 32. It will be understood that the retainer 34 cannot be readily removed by grasping the yoke 36 over the sides of the U since this springs the yoke 36 and causes it to all the more tightly fit the yoke 32 from which it is being removed.
When adjusting the thimbles 30 to the individual, a size respirator slightly larger than required is preferably chosen and then the thimble pressed with thumb and forefinger across the long dimension of the ovals until they take a permanent set, such as will fit with just a very slight degree of dilation of the nostrils. The spread between the thimbles may also be adjusted by slightly altering the spread of the U shaped yokes 32 and 36.
I am aware that respirators of somewhat similar nature have heretofore been employed, and I therefore claim only the improved features of the device, such as the features which render it easily fitted to the individual which make it comfortable in use, which facilitate the renewal of the filtering medium, etc.
Having described an embodiment of my invention, I claim,
