ATTORNEY T. A. TAYLOR ALLOVER BED CANOPY TO ADMINISTER OXYGEN 5 Sheets-Sheet 3 July 15, 1952 Filed July 13, 1951 INVENTOR Thaddeus A. Taylor.
ATTORNEY Patented July 15, 1952 OFFICE ALLOVER BEDCANOPY 'ro .ADMINIST'ER OXYGEN Thaddeus A. Taylor, Luiki n, Tex. V Application July 13, 1951, Serial No. 236,506 10 Claims. (01. 12s 191) The present invention relates to improvements in bed canopies, oxygen tents and the like and more particularly to all-over-bed canopies or tents to administer oxygen to a sick patient, and particularly adapted for use with refrigeration and oxygen supply means of standard makes.
Usually heretoioreoxygen tents, canopies and the like have not been sumciently sealed because there is provision only to tuck the bottom edge under the mattress and there is a great loss of oxygen through the mattress and around the edge of the canopy. Also when the tent or canopy is removed from under the mattress for nursing care there is still further loss in oxygen concentration in the tent.
The present invention greatly reduces oxygen loss by providing in combination with the upper part of the tent a sealed base section of gas-tight material for either enclosing the entire mattress or for resting on top of the mattress, whereby all mattress undertucking is eliminated and all nursing care and treatment of the patient in the interior of the up er part of the tent may be performed through slide fastener sealed openings at the head, foot and sides of the tent without material loss of oxygen concentration. Accordingly an object of the invention is to provide a gas-tight canopy or the like, which may be mounted to completel cover the top of the mattress as a unit or which may be arranged to completely enclose the mattress, whereby any passage of oxygen and air through the mattress material fails to reduce oxygen concentration and only a small liter of flow is needed.
Another object is to provide a novel bed canopy for d nis ering oxy en, which is forrred of two separable upper and lower sections, the lower section or bottom section being of generally durable permanentnon-transparent material and formed to enclose the bottom and sides of a mattress, theupper or top section being of trans-' parent material detachable from the relatively more permanent non-transparent bottom section without disturbing the mattress or a patient reclining thereon, whereby new top sections can be re laced when torn or worn out and whereby the bottom section which is less likely to be damaged may continue to be used with each new top section.
A further obiect is to provide sl de fasteners completely around the head and foot of the upper edge and lower edge of the respective bottom and top sections of the canopy, whereby the sections may be separated and connected at the head or foot of the canopywith a minimum of time and effect to facilitate nursing care and various forms of treatment.
Still a further object isto provide slidejastener sealed openings in the upper section of the canopyat the side, foot and end of the bed for nursing care and treatment of the patient during the process of administering the oxygen without much loss in concentration of oxygen in the tent. I
Yet another object is to provide slide-fastener means in the wall of the upper section for a sealing connection around the intake and outlet conduits of an ice cooling unit or a refrigeration unit foruse with or without the oxygen supply.
Still another object is to provide as an article of manufacturea separable two part oxygen tent of simple, durable and inexpensive gas-tight material, wherein either part of the tent may be sold separately for replacement purposes if desired.
With these and other objects in view which will become apparent as the invention is fully understood, the same resides in the novelty of, construction, combination and arrangement of elements hereinafter described in detail and distinctly claimed in the appended claims.
The description should be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
Figure 1 is a general perspective view of a bed showing the mattress enclosed and completely housedinside the tent and showing an air conditioning unit and oxygen'tank with inlet and outlet pipes thereof sealed in the side of thetent by double slide fasteners. V
' Figure 2 is a partial cross-section view taken along the line 22 of Figure 1 atthe head of the canopy. H
Figure 3 is a partial cross-section view taken along the line 3-3 at the foot of the canopy- Figure 4 is a partial perspective view showing an arrangement for oxygen supply withasfafety valve, and refrigerated air inlet and outlet conduits enclosed by double slide fasteners.
Figure 5 is a horizontal cross-section view taken around the canopy on the line 5-501 Figure 1.
Figure 6 is a partial vertical cross-section view taken I on a line transverse a snap fastener closure formed of overlapping plies of material.
Figure '7 is a side elevational view oi the closure in Figure 6 closed and sealed, and
Figure 8 is a side elevational view of the closure in Figure 6 open for nursing care or special treatment of a patient in the tent or canopy. a
Referring in detail to the drawings and first with particular reference to Figures 1 and 2, there is shown a bed A, a mattress B, a canopy supporting stand C at the head of the bed and a canopy support D at the foot of the bed. As illustrated the canopy I9 is completely enclosing the mattress B and comprises a bottom nontransparent section II, which covers the. bottom and most of the'sides of. the mattress; The' upper rim of the section II is edged with spaced apart lower sections I2 and I3 respectively of slide fasteners I4 and I5, which cooperatewith similarly spaced sections I6 and Il fastened-to the lower edge of the upper canopy section I8 of said respective slide fasteners I4 and I5. Thus slidefast;
ener section I2 of the canopy bottom section and slide fastener section I6 of the upper canopy sec tion when joined together encompass -or-encircle the mattress at the head of the bed from each .side, while. thefastener lower section I3 and .the
upper fastener section I'l'encircle the mattress atthe foot of the bed fromeach sideto therelugs-of each slide fastener. are positioned in aligned .spacedapart relation on each end of a .m'ultii-ply snap fastener closure for anopening 2 I' as shown in Figure8.
This multi-ply closure isgas-tight and comprises .a looped over stripwith the overlapping outer. flap'2'3isecuredito the upper section I8 of the tent by stitches '2'4; .inFigure '6. The outer flap carries the femaleparts of two or more snap fasteners and25, while the inner leg oriiap of the'loopficarrie's. a plurality oflmale parts 2i, 28.18,.30, 3I and. 32', .whi'chsnaps connect with thecooperating femaleparts-ZI'; 28, 29', 30", 3I' and 32 of a doubled overffiap. 33 stitched to the lower tent se'ctioii'l I. As shown in Figures 6' and 8-the.flap 33=fitsbetween fla s-22 and 23 so-t at male snap. fasten relements 21 through 32 on flap 2'2. snapflt with the female fastener elements on fiaoe33'. .After these. are. snapped together then the outer flap 23 folds over and'fe ale snap elements 25 and'ZSI engage with ma leelementsZB' and 26' on he exterior .side of flan 33.- Disconnection of these. snap fasteners make the opening ZI available for uses, such as stomach. drainage, chestabscess .drainaqeand the like.
.Most all patients takingv oxygen need blood transfusions orglucose. and itis important to pro ide closure means "for this purpose in the walls of the canopy so there will be very little loss :of oxvgen concentration. As illustrated. in Figure lithere are numerous sealed slide fastener openings for these and similar pur oses. For
example, at the .foot of the canopy II! is a; slide fastener. adapted .to provide access to the feet oi the patient when the tent is setup. The "foot of the tent. orcanopy Ill 15. held above the feet of the patient by elongated straps 35 andSS', respectively, spaced apart on-each s de of the slidefas- .tener 34.. These straps are. stitched tothe exterior of the canopy- IO andinclude a snap fastener element on each of their respective ends soithat when the. straps are looped around an upstand- U-shaped support 31 having right angled =feet 3'8 .an'dl39, whichfit under the mattress .B,
thefoot of the canopy is held elevated above the mattress B to enhance the patients comfort.
.The head of the canopy is held in elevated ioperating position by means of tabs 4I' having treatment to the patient and the slide fastener may be closed around the arm of the doctor or nurse giving ,the treatment or around the arm of the patient for transfusions and the like, thereby avoiding any appreciable loss of oxygen dining'the treatment. In addition to closure 43 and substantially perpendicular to the same are - slideastener closures 44 and 45 for giving medication, water and nourishment. These closures 'like43 may be closed around the arm of the nurse or. person giving the treatment or the like.
Similar slide fastener openings may be on the opposite side, if desired, and just below the dome 40 on this side -are two spaced apart -multiple zipperclosures 46 each for'connecticnwith an icecooled unit or with an air conditioning unit-48 by encircling the inlet and outlet pipes 49 and 49a; respectively, see Figuresl and 4. An oxygen tank 50 with asupply line 5| may alsoilend into the canopy at this connection.
The basesection II of the canopy It] may be mounted on top of the mattress if desired'by using the anchoring tabs 52 secured in each corner and on each side to the exterior of the base action material by stitches '53. The free end of each tab hangs down' over th sidesof th mattress B and pin fasteners 54 or thelike'securethe-tabs to the mattress material. 7 7
Operation anduse- The operation and-use or the presentinvention is believed to be apparent from the foregoing detailed description. For example, to completely enclose the mattress B, the base section I I is applied to the bottom of the mattress and sides with the upper canopy section I8 detached, next the dome, 40- of the canopyand its tabs II are attached to the hooks on-the support arms 42 and the main slide fastener anchors of' the respective top and bottom canopy sections are locked together as well known in the slide fastener art. The slide elements I4 and I5 are adiacent their respective pairs of anchorelements on their side of the canopy and may now'be slid at wilaround their respective paths of travel to enclose the head of the mattress and the foot of the mattress. Prior to closing the main slide fasteners I 4 and i5, the canopy foot support 37 is put in position at the foot of the mattress and straps 35 and '36 are looped over the top bar of the support and snapped into holding position."
This now causes the canopy to be held to proper shape and the patient may be placed on the, mattress before the main slide fasteners are closed on one side of the mattress.
The same general operation takesplace when using the base section II on top-of the mattress B and the same is secured to the mattress by tabs 52 and pin fasteners 54.
It'often is desirable to fold back the upper section I8 of the canopy and open the main slide fasteners around the head and foot of the canopy permitting the rear side to stay fastened. To facilitate folding back of the upper section I8, there are provided handle loops 68 adapted to be gripped by the nurse to raise and fold over the side of the canopy Ill.
The air conditioner unit and oxygen supply are readily attached by inserting the connecting pipes 19 within the double slide fastener openings as shown in Figure 4 on the sideof the dome portion 40 and it is of course understoodthat such connections may be provided at the rear of the dome portion instead of the side, if desired, A safety valve 6| is shown in Figures 1 and l; and another 'valve, not shown, if desired may be mounted in the wall of the upper section l8. Also to provide a safety vent for excess pressures in the tent, the slide fasteners 14 and I 5 may be left slightly open at the side, thereby permitting escape of excessive air and oxygen and also C02 7 which is exhaled by the patient. A graduated air meter may-be connected to the oxygen gausefso; that a certain amount of air may be given with the oxygen.
Thus there is provided an all-over-bed oxygen canopy that can be operated on top of the matf tress or with the mattress completely housedinside the same. Also there is provided a canopy with a top completely removable from the base section of the canopy by separating head and foot slide fasteners, one around the head and one around the foot of the canopy, said top section having further slide fastener openings for nursing care and treatment of the patient without much loss of oxygen in the canopy, and double slide fastener openings for air tight connection with conduit connections from an air conditioning unit and/or an oxygen supply tube.
While the foregoing specification describes and the drawings illustrate the specific details ofthis invention, it is to be understood that the same'is not limited by these details and is therefore susceptible to changes and modifications within base section, and-tabs with pin fasteners secured to the exterior corners and sides of "said sealedbase section, saidtabs hanging adjacent the sidesj of a mattress on which said base sec-' tion is resting,whereby said pin fasteners ma be secured to the sides of the mattress. Y 5. An oxygen tent for maintaining a high'con centration offoxygenper low liter of flow comprising a non-transparent'base section open at the top, said top rim having the lower elements of a pair of slide fasteners secured around its peripheral edge, a transparent upper section open at the bottom, said bottom rim having the upper elements of said pair of slide fasteners around its peripheral edge, and a pair of slide fasteners one for each of said adjacent lower and upper elements, one of said slide fasteners being slidable around the head of the tent to join the said sections together and the other of said slide fasthe scope of the appended claims without a departure from the spirit of the invention.
