Abstract
Abstract The oxygen caddy is a carrier for an oxygen tank of the type used by emergency medical personnel. It includes a fabric case which covers a rigid, protective, supporting frame in which the oxygen tank is held. The case includes pockets in which oxygen delivery means, such as a demand valve, an inhalator, or an aspirator, may be stored for use. The oxygen delivery means, such as a demand valve, an inhalator, or an aspirator, are attached to the oxygen tank via hoses which extend into the pockets through openings in the case. A shoulder strap is provided in order to allow emergency personnel to carry the oxygen carrier without using his hand, which is then free to carry other equipment.
