Abstract

A tractable emergency breathing tube for life-saving in the event of fire includes a first tube and a second tube assembled together to form a series of telescoping tubes. The telescoping tubes are nested one within the other when the emergency breathing tube in a retracted stowed position. The inner tubes are latched in the stowed position by a caging mechanism. Furthermore, the emergency breathing tube can be extended until the final deployed position to reached out of the building on fire for fresh air. A user can inhale fresh air through the pursed mouth slowly by means of the instrument and exhale carbon dioxide through the nose rapidly, and repeat the above inhale/exhale procedures until being rescued.

Claims

1. An emergency breathing tube for life-saving in case of fire, comprising:

a first tube; and

a second tube, wherein the second tube couples with the first tube and forms a retractile breathing tube with adjustable length;

wherein, in case of fire, a user extends the breathing tube, holds one end of the breathing tube in his or her mouth, and then extends another end thereof out from the fire scene via an opening of a building to get fresh air.

2. The emergency breathing tube for life-saving in case of fire as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first and second tubes are made of material with perfect heat-resistant characteristics.

3. The emergency breathing tube for life-saving in case of fire as claimed in claim 1, wherein an inner diameter of the second tube is larger than an outer diameter of the first tube, and the second tube is mounted outside the first tube.

4. The emergency breathing tube for life-saving in case of fire as claimed in claim 1, wherein one end of the first tube defines a locating portion, and one end of the second tube defines a contractive portion, an inner wall of the contractive portion contacts an outer wall of the first tube closely, and the locating portion abuts against the contractive portion, the first tube and the second tube thereby being located when they are extended.

5. The emergency breathing tube for life-saving in case of fire as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first tube has a replaceable mouthpiece mounted on an end thereof.

6. The emergency breathing tube for life-saving in case of fire as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first tube is ringed with a holding portion, and the holding portion is made of a low heat-conductive material and has an studded surface.

7. The emergency breathing tube for life-saving in case of fire as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a first outer tube and a second outer tube respectively disposed outside the first tube and the second tube, wherein the first outer tube and the second outer tube are made of a low heat-conductive material and capable of coupling together to form a retractile outer tube with an adjustable length.

8. The emergency breathing tube for life-saving in case of fire as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a pair of safety belts fastened thereon, wherein the safety belts have enough resistance to resist external pulling forces and are adjustable in length, and one end of the rope is fastened to the breathing tube while another end thereof is fastened to the user.

9. An emergency breathing tube for life-saving in case of fire, comprising a tubular body made of a material with perfect heat-resistance;

whereby, when a fire occurs, a user holds one end of the breathing tube in his or her mouth, and extends another end thereof out from the smoky fire scene via an opening in a building to get fresh air.

10. The emergency breathing tube for life-saving in case of fire as claimed in claim 9, wherein the tubular body has a replaceable mouthpiece mounted on an end thereof.

11. The emergency breathing tube for life-saving in case of fire as claimed in claim 9, wherein the tubular body is ringed with a holding portion, and the holding portion is made of a low heat-conductive material and has an studded surface.

12. The emergency breathing tube for life-saving in case of fire as claimed in claim 9, further comprising an outer tube made of a low heat-conductive material disposed outside the tubular body.

13. The emergency breathing tube for life-saving in case of fire as claimed in claim 9, further comprising a pair of safety belts fastened thereon, wherein the safety belts have enough resistance to resist external pulling forces and are adjustable in length, and one end of the rope is fastened to the breathing tube while another end thereof is fastened to the user.
