Abstract

An improved ear-mounted oral-nasal respiratory device for delivering oxygen and other therapy gases for respiratory treatments of patients. The device comprises an anchoring system for affixing the device to one of the patient'"'"'s ears and a support arm for placing a gas-conveying nebulizer in the vicinity of the patient'"'"'s mouth or nostrils.

Claims

1. An ear-mounted oral-nasal respiratory device comprising:

a curved ear hook having a front section and a rear section;

said front section is elongated into an adjustable supporting arm, said rear section further comprises an outer end and a gas nozzle for coupling said device to a source of therapy gases;

said adjustable supporting arm further comprising a plurality of pivot points and a front end;

a nebulizer flexibly attached to said front end of said adjustable supporting arm, said nebulizer further comprises a plurality of through orifices.

a therapy gas supply line embedded within said adjustable supporting arm and said curved ear hook having a front end and a back end, said back end is hermetically coupled to said gas nozzle, said front end is hermetically coupled to said nebulizer;

2. The respiratory device as in claim 1, wherein said gas nozzle further comprises a straight cylindrical tube with a threaded outer tube.

3. The respiratory device as in claim 1, wherein said gas nozzle further comprises a barbed connector.

4. The respiratory device as in claim 1, wherein said outer end of said rear section is formed into a bulbous region.

5. The respiratory device as in claim 4, wherein said bulbous region further comprises a mini-speaker.

6. The respiratory device as in claim 1, wherein said nebulizer having substantially rounded outer surface.

7. The respiratory device as in claim 6, wherein said through orifices are radially positioned onto said substantially rounded outer surface.

8. The respiratory device as in claim 1 further comprising a metering component.

9. The respiratory device as in claim 1 further comprising a failure monitor component.

10. The respiratory device as in claim 1 further comprising an inadequate gas delivery component.

11. The respiratory device as in claim 1 further comprising a dislodged nebulizer sensor.

12. An ear-mounted oral-nasal respiratory device comprising:

a curved ear hook having a front section and a rear section;

said front section is elongated into a molded tubular supporting arm, said rear section further comprises an outer end and a gas nozzle for coupling said device to a source of therapy gases;

said molded tubular supporting arm further comprises a front end and a nebulizer affixed and hermetically coupled to said front end, said nebulizer further comprises a plurality of through orifices;

a therapy gas supply line having a front end and a back end embedded within said curved ear hook, said front end of said embedded gas supply line is hermetically coupled to said molded tubular supporting arm;

a gas nozzle sealed into said rear section of said curved ear hook and hermetically coupled to said back end of said embedded therapy gas supply line.

13. The respiratory device as in claim 12, wherein said outer end of said rear section is formed into a bulbous region.

14. The respiratory device as in claim 13, wherein said bulbous region further comprises a mini-speaker.

15. The respiratory device as in claim 12, wherein said molded tubular supporting arm is removably coupled to said front section of said curved ear hook.

16. The respiratory device as in claim 12 further comprising a metering component.

17. The respiratory device as in claim 12 further comprising a failure monitor component.

18. The respiratory device as in claim 12 further comprising an inadequate gas delivery component.

19. The respiratory device as in claim 12 further comprising a dislodged nebulizer sensor.
