Abstract

Abstract To a gas mask (1) is connected an inspiration and suction device consisting of an evacuation hose (6), an oxygen hose (7) and a suction hose (8). The evacuation hose (6) is connected to the oxygen mask's connecting piece (4) for open communication with the oxygen mask's interior. The oxygen hose (7) is in open communication with the oxygen mask's interior and runs from an oxygen gas supply. One end of the suction hose (8), which hose evacuates the exhaled air, is in open communication with the evacuation hose's (6) interior and located at a suitable distance from the oxygen mask's (1) connecting piece (4), while the other end is connected to an evacuation system.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim 149 words
A device for use in patient oxygen masks, wherein the oxygen mask is designed to cover the patient's nose and mouth, providing as tight a seal as is practical, said mask being equipped with a connecting piece to which is coupled an inspiration and suction device, characterized in that the inspiration and suction device consists of an evacuation hose (6) which is connected to the connecting piece (4) in open communication with the interior of the oxygen mask (1), an oxygen hose (7), which runs from an open end in communication with the oxygen mask's (1) interior to an oxygen gas supply, and a suction hose (8) for evacuating exhaled air, one end of which hose in is open communication with the interior of the evacuation hose (6) at a suitable distance from the connecting piece (4), and the other end of which is connected to an evacuation system.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 149 words
A device for use in patient oxygen masks, wherein the oxygen mask is designed to cover the patient's nose and mouth, providing as tight a seal as is practical, said mask being equipped with a connecting piece to which is coupled an inspiration and suction device, characterized in that the inspiration and suction device consists of an evacuation hose (6) which is connected to the connecting piece (4) in open communication with the interior of the oxygen mask (1), an oxygen hose (7), which runs from an open end in communication with the oxygen mask's (1) interior to an oxygen gas supply, and a suction hose (8) for evacuating exhaled air, one end of which hose in is open communication with the interior of the evacuation hose (6) at a suitable distance from the connecting piece (4), and the other end of which is connected to an evacuation system.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 51 words
A device according to claim 1, characterized in that the oxygen hose (7) passes through the evacuation hose (6) to the connecting piece (4), and in that the suction hose's (8) aforementioned one end is in open communication with the space between the evacuation hose (6) and the oxygen hose (7).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 19 words
A device according to claim 1, characterized in that the oxygen hose (7) runs outside the evacuation hose (6).
Claim 5
Independent Claim 28 words
A device according to any of claims 1-3, characterized in that the suction hose (8) runs inside of the evacuation hose (6) up to the aforementioned suitable distance.
Claim 6
Independent Claim 29 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim 49 words
A device according to claim 2, characterized in that the suction hose (12) is tightly connected (13) to the end of the evacuation hose (6) opposite the connecting piece (4), and in that the oxygen hose (7) passes from the evacuation hose (6) through part of the suction hose.
Claim 8
Independent Claim 36 words
A device according to any of the above claims, characterized in that the suction hose (8, 11, 12) is mounted in such a way as to be adjustable along the length of the evacuation hose (6).
Claim 9
Independent Claim 42 words
A device according to any of the above claims 1-2, 4-7, characterized in that the oxygen hose (7) is mounted against the outer hose's (6) inner wall at the point where the outer hose (6) is coupled to the connecting piece (4).
Claim 10
Independent Claim 22 words
A device according to any of the above claims, characterized by a fastener (10) for setting the length of the suction hose.
Claim 11
Independent Claim 26 words
A device according to any of the above claims, characterized in that the end of the evacuation hose (6) opposite the connecting piece (4) is open.
Claim 12
Independent Claim 97 words
A device for connection to a patient's respiration equipment com­prising an evacuation hose for exhalation, a coupling device at the end of the evacuation hose to connect the evacuation hose and the respiration equipment via an open channel, and a gas hose which runs from a gas supply to a coupling device, characterized in that the gas hose (7, 7a, 7b) is in open communication with a channel (17) which is mounted radially outside of the coupling device's (16) channel , which channel (17) is open towards the evacuation hose (6) and closed in the other direction.
Claim 13
Independent Claim 97 words
A device for connection to a patient's respiration equipment com­prising an evacuation hose for exhalation, a coupling device at the end of the evacuation hose to connect the evacuation hose and the respiration equipment via an open channel, and a gas hose which runs from a gas supply to a coupling device, characterized in that the gas hose (7, 7a, 7b) is in open communication with a channel (17) which is mounted radially outside of the coupling device's (16) channel , which channel (17) is open towards the evacuation hose (6) and closed in the other direction.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 34 words
A device according to claim 11, characterized in that the gas hose (7, 7a, 7b) is mounted along the evacuation hose's (6) wall, at least along the extent close to the coupling device (16).
