Abstract
Abstract This invention is a paramedic airway kit. It comprises a case, interiorly divided into two compartments by a partition. A front wall serving as a door is hinged to the partition and pivotable to planularly extend the partition in the open position and thereby serve as an extended shelf. A second front wall, also serving as a door, is hinged to the base of the case and pivotable to planularly extend the base when in the open position and thereby expanding the perimeter of the base to render the case stable. The interior side of the first mentioned door is provided with anchor means for orapharyngeal airways. A plurality of article constraining straps are provided on the interior side of the first mentioned door to permanently locate articles used by a paramedic. On the interior side of the back wall of the case is provided a block member on which is mounted a mask for a bag mask resuscitator.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
190 words
An airway kit, comprising: end walls, base and top walls and a back wall; a partition wall extending between said end walls and parallel to said base and top walls; a front wall hinged to said partition wall pivotable to planularly extend said partition when in the open position, and to abut against said end and top walls when in the closed position; a second front wall hinged to said base wall pivotable to planularly extend said base wall when in the open position, and to abut against said end and partition walls when in the closed position; anchor means fixed to the interior side of said top front wall, said anchor means being a sheet member supported around the perimeter thereof and having a plurality of hole pairs; oropharyngeal airways fitted in said hole pairs of said anchor means; a plurality of straps fixed to the interior side of said front wall, the ends of each of said straps connecting together to form constraining means; a block member on the interior side of said back wall; and a mask from a bag mask resuscitator mounted on said block member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
190 words
An airway kit, comprising: end walls, base and top walls and a back wall; a partition wall extending between said end walls and parallel to said base and top walls; a front wall hinged to said partition wall pivotable to planularly extend said partition when in the open position, and to abut against said end and top walls when in the closed position; a second front wall hinged to said base wall pivotable to planularly extend said base wall when in the open position, and to abut against said end and partition walls when in the closed position; anchor means fixed to the interior side of said top front wall, said anchor means being a sheet member supported around the perimeter thereof and having a plurality of hole pairs; oropharyngeal airways fitted in said hole pairs of said anchor means; a plurality of straps fixed to the interior side of said front wall, the ends of each of said straps connecting together to form constraining means; a block member on the interior side of said back wall; and a mask from a bag mask resuscitator mounted on said block member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
The paramedic airway kit of claim 1 wherein the second front wall when positioned to planularly extend said base is further characterized as extending beyond the center of gravity of said kit when said first front wall is opened to planularly extend said partition wall.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The paramedic kit of claim 1 wherein each of said hole pairs in said sheet member is further characterized as being spaced apart different distances to accommodate different length oropharyngeal airways.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
102 words
A case for a paramedic kit comprising: end walls, base and top walls and a back wall; a partition wall extended between said end walls and parallel to said base and top walls; a front wall hinged to said partition wall pivotable to planularly extend said partition when in the open position, and to abut against said end and top walls when in the closed position; and a second front wall hingedly connected to said base wall pivotable to planularly extend said base wall when in the open position, and to abut against end and partition walls when in the closed position.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
