Abstract

An oxygen deliver system for supplying oxygen from a supply tank under pressure to a patient wearing a nasal cannula is provided. The system includes a first tube connected at a first end to the oxygen supply tank for receiving oxygen therefrom, a swivel connected at a first end to a second end of the first tube, a second tube connected at a first end to a second end of the swivel and connected at a second end to the nasal cannula for delivering the oxygen to the patient, and a receiver for limiting movement of the swivel such that the first and second tubes are retained in position and allowed to revolve around the swivel.

Claims

1. An oxygen deliver system for supplying oxygen from a supply tank under pressure to a patient wearing a nasal cannula, comprising:

a first tube connected at a first end to the supply tank for receiving oxygen therefrom;

a swivel connected at a first end to a second end of said first tube;

a second tube connected at a first end to a second end of said swivel and connected at a second end to the nasal cannula for delivering the oxygen to the patient; and

a receiver for limiting movement of the swivel,

whereby the first and second tubes are retained in position and allowed to revolve around the swivel.

2. The oxygen deliver system of claim 1, wherein said receiver attaches to a belt of the patient.

3. The oxygen deliver system of claim 1, wherein said receiver loops around a belt of the patient.

4. The oxygen deliver system of claim 1, wherein said receiver attaches to an article of clothing worn by the patient.

5. The oxygen deliver system of claim 1, wherein said receiver attaches to a piece of furniture supporting the patent.

6. The oxygen deliver system of claim 1, wherein said receiver includes a ring at a distal end for receiving said swivel.

7. The oxygen deliver system of claim 6, wherein said receiver attaches to a belt of the patient.

8. The oxygen deliver system of claim 6, wherein said receiver includes an elongated piece of material and a fastener for securing a first end of said material to a second end of said material, adjacent said ring, forming a loop.

9. The oxygen deliver system of claim 8, wherein said loop is sized to receive a belt worn by the patient.

10. The oxygen deliver system of claim 8, wherein said loop receives a clip for securing the receiver to the patient or a piece of furniture supporting the patient.

11. The oxygen deliver system of claim 8, wherein said elongated piece of material is leather.

12. The oxygen deliver system of claim 8, wherein said fastener is a snap.

13. An oxygen deliver system for supplying oxygen from a supply tank under pressure to a nasal cannula, comprising:

a first tube coupled at a first end to the supply tank for receiving oxygentherefrom;

a mechanism coupled at a first end to a second end of said first tube;

a second tube coupled at a first end to a second end of said mechanism and coupled at a second end to the nasal cannula for delivering the oxygen to the patient; and

a receiver for limiting movement of said mechanism,

whereby said mechanism coupled to said first and second tubes enables one of said first and second tubes to revolve without turning the other.

14. The oxygen deliver system of claim 13, wherein said receiver attaches to a belt of the patient.

15. The oxygen deliver system of claim 13, wherein said receiver loops around a belt of the patient.

16. The oxygen deliver system of claim 13, wherein said rece attaches to an article of clothing worn by the patient.

17. The oxygen deliver system of claim 13, wherein said receiver attaches to a piece of furniture supporting the patent.

18. The oxygen deliver system of claim 13, wherein said receiver includes a ring at a distal end for receiving said mechanism.

19. The oxygen deliver system of claim 18, wherein said receiver attaches to a belt of the patient.

20. The oxygen deliver system of claim 18, wherein said receiver includes an elongated piece of material and a fastener for securing a first end of said material to a second end of said material, adjacent said ring, forming a loop.
