Claim 1

AN APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING AND INTERMITTENTLY DRIVING RESPIRATORS COMPRISING AN ELECTRIC MOTOR, A REDUCTION GEAR OPERATIVELY CONNECTED WITH SAID MOTOR, TWO PUMPS DRIVEN BY SAID REDUCTION GEAR, ONE OF SAID PUMPS BEING ADAPTED FOR INHALATION AND THE OTHER OF SAID PUMPS BEING ADAPTED FOR EXHALATION, A ROTATING AXLE HAVING A CAM SECURED THERETO FOR JOINT ROTATION THEREWITH, A SECOND MOTOR FOR DRIVING SAID ROTATING AXLE, A DISC MOUNTED ON SAID AXLE AND BEARING GRADUATIONS, TOOTHED GEARS SUPPORTED FOR ROTATION COAXIALLY WITH SAID ROTATING AXLE, A PLURALITY OF CIRCUIT BREAKERS DISPOSED RESPECTIVELY ONE ON EACH OF SAID TOOTHED GEARS AND PERIPHERALLY AND AXIALLY SPACED APART FROM EACH OTHER, OPERATIVELY CONNECTED WITH SAID PUMPS FOR INTERMITTENT DRIVE, AND SUCCESSIVELY ENGAGED BY SAID CAM, THE SEPARATION OF SAID CIRCUIT BREAKERS DETERMINING THE DIVISION OF THE CYCLES OF OPERATION, A CARBON COORDINATED TO OPERATIVELY CONNECT WITH THE CORRESPONDING OF SAID CIRCUIT BREAKERS, A COLLECTOR RING PROVIDED FOR AND ENGAGED BY THE CORRESPONDING OF SAID CARBONS, A PINION MESHING WITH EACH OF SAID CORRESPONDING TOOTHED GEARS, TIME RELAYS, SAID COLLECTOR RINGS BEING CONNECTED WITH SAID TIME RELAYS AND GENERATING PULSES, DURING ROTATION OF SAID CAM, AND HAND-CONTROLLED PINION MEANS FOR TURNING SAID PINIONS AND THEREBY VARYING THE RELATIVE POSITION OF SAID TOOTHED GEARS AND SAID CIRCUIT BREAKERS THEREON, IN ORDER TO CHANGE THE TIME PERIOD FOR A CYCLE.

Claim 2

AN APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING AND INTERMITTENTLY DRIVING RESPIRATORS COMPRISING AN ELECTRIC MOTOR, A REDUCTION GEAR OPERATIVELY CONNECTED WITH SAID MOTOR, TWO PUMPS DRIVEN BY SAID REDUCTION GEAR, ONE OF SAID PUMPS BEING ADAPTED FOR INHALATION AND THE OTHER OF SAID PUMPS BEING ADAPTED FOR EXHALATION, A ROTATING AXLE HAVING A CAM SECURED THERETO FOR JOINT ROTATION THEREWITH, A SECOND MOTOR FOR DRIVING SAID ROTATING AXLE, A DISC MOUNTED ON SAID AXLE AND BEARING GRADUATIONS, TOOTHED GEARS SUPPORTED FOR ROTATION COAXIALLY WITH SAID ROTATING AXLE, A PLURALITY OF CIRCUIT BREAKERS DISPOSED RESPECTIVELY ONE ON EACH OF SAID TOOTHED GEARS AND PERIPHERALLY AND AXIALLY SPACED APART FROM EACH OTHER, OPERATIVELY CONNECTED WITH SAID PUMPS FOR INTERMITTENT DRIVE, AND SUCCESSIVELY ENGAGED BY SAID CAM, THE SEPARATION OF SAID CIRCUIT BREAKERS DETERMINING THE DIVISION OF THE CYCLES OF OPERATION, A CARBON COORDINATED TO OPERATIVELY CONNECT WITH THE CORRESPONDING OF SAID CIRCUIT BREAKERS, A COLLECTOR RING PROVIDED FOR AND ENGAGED BY THE CORRESPONDING OF SAID CARBONS, A PINION MESHING WITH EACH OF SAID CORRESPONDING TOOTHED GEARS, TIME RELAYS, SAID COLLECTOR RINGS BEING CONNECTED WITH SAID TIME RELAYS AND GENERATING PULSES, DURING ROTATION OF SAID CAM, AND HAND-CONTROLLED PINION MEANS FOR TURNING SAID PINIONS AND THEREBY VARYING THE RELATIVE POSITION OF SAID TOOTHED GEARS AND SAID CIRCUIT BREAKERS THEREON, IN ORDER TO CHANGE THE TIME PERIOD FOR A CYCLE.
