May 4, 1965 B. SMILG CARRIER FOR RESUSCITATOR EQUIPMENT Filed Sept. 7, 1961 INVENTOR. BENJAMIN SMILG ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,181,756 CARRIER FOR RESUSCITATOR EQUIPMENT BenjaminSmilg, Dayton, 0hio,-assignor, by mesne assignments, to Globe Safety Products, Inc.,'-Dayton, Ohio, a corporation of Ohio FiledSept. 7, 1961, Ser.No. 136,484
' 2 Claims. (Cl. 22445) This invention 'is concerned with first aid or rescue devices, and is more'parti'cularly directed to a carrier for resuscitation equipment.
It is one object-of the invention to provide a compact carrierfor resuscitation devices and accessories, which is economical of manufacture and relatively light in weight.
It is a second object of the invention to provide a carrier or mounting plate for resuscitation equipment which provides an optimum arrangement for the various resuscitation devices so that they are readily accessible.
A further object of the invention is to provide a carrier for a resuscitator kit which enables the transportation of the various resuscitator apparatus through small openings such as manholes, etc.
These and further objects of the invention will become more readily apparent upon a reading of the description following hereinafter, and upon an examination of the drawings, in which:
FIGURE 1 represents a perspective view of the carrier with the accessory resuscitator devices shown in phantom,
FIGURE 2 is a left side view of the carrier of the invention,
FIGURE 3 is a portion of the view of FIGURE 2 with certain elements removed.
FIGURE 4 is a sectional view taken along line 4-4 of FIGURE 2, and
FIGURE 5 is a front end view of the resuscitator of FIGURE 2.
In connection with the description of the device of the invention and a consideration of the objects and advantages thereof, it is seen that the carrier provides a means of balancing the oxygen cylinders against the various accessories mounted on opposite sides thereof. The cylinders are arranged on one side of the carrier in side-byside relationship, made possible by a pair of yokes arranged at 45 angles to the carrier plate. Additionally, the side of the carrier mounting the various accessories is so constructed and arranged as to provide a convenient reel configuration for storing the various hoses connected to the resuscitator accessories.
Referring now to FIGURE 1, it is seen that the carrier comprises a generally plate-like element 1 having an outwardly extending flange or lip 2 at one side thereof, which provides a mounting means for a carrying handle 4. The outstanding flange 2 also serves to locate the carrying handle 4 in such position away from the vertical plane of the plate 1 that it lies above the CG. of the unit, so that the unit is readily balanced and easily carried by the user. Mounted at the rear of the plate 1 is an accessory box 6 having a lid 8 which is appropriately retained in position as by the fastening 10. Within this accessory box 6 may be placed the various facepieces, airways, etc., generally indicated by the reference numeral 12. The central portion of the plate 1 provides a clip 14 for mounting an aspirator 16 (indicated in phantom); and also a pair of clamps 18 and 20 for retaining the connecting hoses for a pair of valves such as the resuscitation valve 22 (indicated in phantom, and a demand valve 24 (indicated in phantom).
The front end of the plate 1 has mounted to it a generally arcuate shaped member 26 which is held in spaced relationship to the plate 1 by a pair of spacers 28 and 39, and retained by the bolts 32 and 34, respectively. The arcuate shaped member 26 serves as an alternate carrying handle to enable the unit to occupy the least area, such as would be necessary in descending into mannecessity for a complete enclosure. The carrier plate of theinvention thus is at all times open and provides free access to the various elements as is necessary during first aid work.
The plate 1 is provided with the two openings 44 and 46 as shown in FIGURE 3 to receive the grommets 48 and 50, respectively (see FIGURE 5). These grommets will provide receiving holes for the valves 22 and 24, which may be of such dimension as to releasably retain these valves in position. The plate 1 is further provided with the cutout portion 52 (see FIGURE 3) to receive the air regulator 54. The air regulator is retained in position by a nut 56 on the threaded manifold 58 leading to the resuscitator and aspirator. The plate 1 is provided with a segment 60 in the shape of an arc to receive the regulator.
As shown in FIGURES 1, 2 and 5, the air regulator 54 is drilled to provide for the mounting of two yokes 62 and 64 which enable the clamping and retention of the air cylinders 66 and 68 (indicated in phantom). The yokes are arranged at 45 to the plate 1, thus permitting the cylinders to be mounted very close together and also reducing the width of the kit to an optimum minimum dimension. Thus, the air cylinders are mounted on one side of the plate 1, and the various accessory items are mounted on the opposite side of the plate. This results in a very compact arrangement. The pressure gauge and relief valve (indicated generally at 70) are provided on the rear portion of the regulator 54 in such manner that they are protected by the plate 1 from accidental damage.
The air cylinders are further retained by a clamping arrangement as shown in FIGURE 4. The plate 1 has mounted to it a lower casting 76 which is provided with a central upstanding threaded member or stud 78 and is generally formed in a double arcuate configuration. A handwheel 80 is threaded onto the stud 78 and serves to fasten a specially shaped clamp 82 of similar double arcuate configuration to that of the member 76; to that the two cylinders 66 and 68 are retained in position as shown in FIGURE 4.
A unit constructed in accordance with the above teachings of the invention has been found to be particularly advantageous in first aid and rescue operations, since it is lightweight (e.g., of the order of 30 lbs.), while still alfording a relatively long period of operation (80 to minutes air supply). The unit of the invention further provides resuscitator devices which are already connected, so that all that is necessary is to attach a facepiece to the appropriate valve and commence operation of the apparatus. For storage purposes the carrier kit may be placed within a larger suitcase.
It will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and rearrangements of parts may be made in the device of the invention while still coming within the spirit and scope thereof.
What I claim is:
I. A carrier for resuscitation equipment comprising a plate-like member, means on one side thereof for retaining a plurality of oxygen cylinders in side-by-side relationship, means on the opposite side thereof for retaining resuscitation valves, aspirators, hoses, and the like, including an accessory box;
handle means offset from said plate-like member and is extending on the side thereof to which said oxygen cylinders are supported;
said handle means being so located as to be vertically above the center of gravity of the carrier when the resuscitator equipment is mounted thereon;
means for mounting an air regulator juxtaposed to one end of said oxygen cylinders;
and a pair of yokes mounted at approximately 45 to said plate-like member and adapted to be affixed to said regulator for clamping one end of a pair of oxygen cylinders in spaced side-by-side relationship, whereby a small and balanced resuscitator kit is obtained.
2. The carrier of claim 1 wherein said plate-like member is provided with an alternate carrying handle which cooperates with a portion of said retaining means and said accessory box on the opposite side of said plate-like member to present a reel configuration for the storage of hoses leading to the resuscitation equipment.
