Abstract

An acoustically advanced infant incubator housing system of special value for helicopter transport. This system is comprised of an ovally shaped infant housing using double wall construction with an air space between them supported on a cradle suspension system. This process creates a superior noise and vibration rejection system, providing for a quiet chamber interior.

Claims

1. An acoustically advanced incubator housing system for a transport incubator, said housing system comprising:

a housing formed of transparent material and having an oval shape, said housing comprising double walled upper and lower halves, a tongue and groove system for mating said housing halves, means for hinging and latching for opening and closing of said housing halves, a cradle system for supporting said housing, said cradle system comprising a top rail, a bottom mounting plate, and a plurality of supports connecting the top rail to the bottom mounting plate, a plurality of suspension means provided between said housing and said cradle system for isolating vibration and noise pressure levels from the interior of said housing, and means for providing air flow to said housing for establishing normal incubator conditions.
