Abstract

A CPR training assembly for instructing a person to perform CPR or choking rescue on an infant, a child or an adult includes a housing and an audio unit that is coupled to the housing. The audio unit emits audio outwardly from the housing to audibly alert a user. The audio unit stores data pertaining to audible instructions for performing CPR or choking rescue on infants, children and adults. A control unit is coupled to the housing and the control unit is electrically coupled to the audio unit to select the audible instructions for a respective one of the infants, children and adults. In this way the user can choose to receive audible instructions that correspond to whether an infant, a child or an adult needs CPR or choking rescue.

Claims

1. A CPR training assembly being configured to emit spoken instructions for performing CPR on an individual in an emergency situation, said assembly comprising:

a housing;

an audio unit being coupled to said housing and emitting audio outwardly

therefrom wherein said audio unit is configured to audibly alert a user, said audio unit storing data pertaining to audible instructions for performing CPR or choking rescue on infants, children and adults; and

a control unit being coupled to said housing, said control unit being electrically coupled to said audio unit such that said control unit selects said audible instructions for a respective one of the infants, children and adults wherein said control unit is configured to facilitate the user to receive audible instructions that correspond to whether an infant, a child or an adult needs CPR or choking rescue;

wherein said housing has a top wall, a bottom wall and an exterior wall extending there between, said exterior wall having a first lateral surface and a second lateral surface, each of said first lateral surface and said second lateral surface being concavely arcuate with respect to a center line of said housing such that said housing has a heart shaped cross-section taken along a line extending through said top wall and said bottom wall, said bottom wall having a plurality of audio apertures extending into an interior of said housing.

2. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein said audio unit comprises:

a control circuit being positioned within said housing; and

an electronic memory being positioned within said housing, said electronic memory being electrically coupled said control circuit, said electronic memory storing a plurality of data sets, each of said data sets pertaining to a respective one of the audible instructions for CPR or choking rescue on infants, children or adults.

3. The assembly according to claim 2, further comprising a speaker being positioned within said housing, said speaker being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said speaker emitting said audible instructions, said speaker being aligned with said audio apertures in said bottom wall of said housing to pass said audible instructions through said audio apertures.

4. The assembly according to claim 3, further comprising a volume up button being movably coupled to said housing, said volume up button being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said volume up button increasing a volume of said speaker when said volume up button is manipulated.

5. The assembly according to claim 3, further comprising a volume down button being movably coupled to said housing, said volume down button being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said volume down button decreasing a volume of said speaker when said volume down button is manipulated.

6. The assembly according to claim 2, further comprising a power supply being positioned within said housing, said power supply being electrically coupled to said control circuit.

7. The assembly according to claim 6, wherein said power supply comprises at least one battery being positioned within said housing, said at least one battery being electrically coupled to said control circuit.

8. The assembly according to claim 7, further comprising a charge port being recessed into said exterior wall of said housing wherein said charge port is configured to insertably receive a charge cord from a power source, said charge port being electrically coupled to said at least one battery for recharging said at least one battery.

9. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein said control unit comprises a plurality of buttons, each of said buttons being movably positioned on said top wall of said housing, each of said buttons being electrically coupled to said control circuit, each of said buttons having one of said data sets in said electronic memory being associated therewith.

10. The assembly according to claim 9, wherein said plurality of buttons includes an infant choke button, an infant CPR button, a child choke button, a child CPR button, an adult choke button and an adult CPR button, said electronic memory communicating said associated data set to said speaker when said associated button is manipulated wherein said speaker is configured to emit audible instructions specifically for whether an infant, a child or an adult needs choking rescue or CPR.

11. A CPR training assembly being configured to emit spoken instructions for performing CPR on an individual in an emergency situation, said assembly comprising:

a housing having a top wall, a bottom wall and an exterior wall extending therebetween, said exterior wall having a first lateral surface and a second lateral surface, each of said first lateral surface and said second lateral surface being concavely arcuate with respect to a center line of said housing such that said housing has a heart shaped cross-section taken along a line extending through said top wall and said bottom wall, said bottom wall having a plurality of audio apertures extending into an interior of said housing;

an audio unit being coupled to said housing and emitting audio outwardly

therefrom wherein said audio unit is configured to audibly alert a user, said audio unit storing data pertaining to audible instructions for performing CPR or choking rescue on infants, children and adults, said audio unit comprising;

a control circuit being positioned within said housing;

an electronic memory being positioned within said housing, said electronic memory being electrically coupled said control circuit, said electronic memory storing a plurality of data sets, each of said data sets pertaining to a respective one of the audible instructions for CPR or choking rescue on infants, children or adults;

a speaker being positioned within said housing, said speaker being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said speaker emitting said audible instructions, said speaker being aligned with said audio apertures in said bottom wall of said housing to pass said audible instructions through said audio apertures;
