Abstract
Abstract An artificial respiration device is provided and consists of an elastic head band affixed to a mask for securing the mask over mouth of a person with a removable hollow nipple threaded within the mask extending into the mouth. A manually operated mechanism is connected to the mask for supplying fresh air one-way through the nipple and into lungs of the person so that expired air can exit out through the person's nose into the ambient atmosphere.

An artificial respiration device which comprises: (a) a mask with an open peripheral end for covering a mouth of a person; (b) a removable hollow nipple threaded within said mask for insertion into a person's mouth; (c) means for securing said mask over the mouth of the person with said nipple extending into the mouth; and (d) means for manually supplying fresh air one way through said nipple and into lungs of the person so that the person can exit expired air back out through their nose into the ambient atmosphere; wherein said securing means is an elastic band affixed to said mask so that said elastic band can fit over head of the persons; wherein said fresh air supplying means includes: (e) an elongated hollow tube having a first end fluidly connected to said nipple within said mask and extending outwardly from said mask and a second end remote from said first end; (f) a normally closed air outlet valve disposed within said second end of said tube; (g) a flexible compressible bladder connected to said second end of said tube; (h) a normally closed air inlet valve connected to said bladder opposite said air outlet valve so that when said bladder is manually compressed said air outlet valve will open causing fresh air to move through said tube and out of said nipple into the lungs of the person and when said bladder is released said air outlet valve will close and said air inlet valve will open allowing fresh air to re-enter said bladder from the ambient atmosphere; wherein said mask includes: (i) an inflatable thin walled annular flange adaptable to contact the face of the person about the mouth thereof; and (j) a conduit in said mask fluidly correcting the end of said tube within said mask and said inflatable flange whereby during operation of said device a portion of the air from the tube will cause said flange to expand to bear against the face of the person forming a tight seal therebetween.
