Emergency electrode
First Claim
1. An emergency electrode comprising:
- a housing assembly,stressed spring means mounted within said housing assembly so as to be released in response to a predetermined manual actuating procedure,an electrode needle structure mounted within said housing assembly in a sterile condition in cooperating relation with said stressed spring means for movement outwardly of said housing assembly in response to the release of said stressed spring means so as to penetrate into the muscle tissue of a patient,said needle structure being a hypodermic needle member provided with a hollow interior and having a bendable wire member extending outwardly from said hollow interior adjacent the leading end thereof in a trailing direction for yieldably retaining the leading end portion of said hypodermic needle member in penetrating condition within the muscle tissue of a patient,said hypodermic needle member being encased within a resilient shroud within said housing assembly through which the leading end portion thereof extends when moved outwardly of said housing assembly, andmeans for completing an electric circuit exteriorly through said needle structure when in said penetrating relation within the muscle tissue of a patient.

Abstract
An emergency electrode comprising a housing assembly, a stressed spring mounted within the housing assembly so as to be released in response to a predetermined manual actuation procedure, an electrode hypodermic needle member mounted within the housing assembly in a sterile condition in cooperating relation with the stressed spring for movement outwardly of the housing assembly in response to the release of the stressed spring so as to penetrate into the muscle tissue of a patient, a bendable wire member extending outwardly from the hollow interior adjacent the leading end thereof in a trailing direction for yieldably retaining the leading end portion of said hypodermic needle in penetrating condition within the muscle tissue of a patient. An electric circuit is completed exteriorly through the needle when in said penetrating relation within the muscle tissue of a patient.
