Abstract
Abstract An organization including an elongate, flexible web mounting medially of its length a transparent cylinder defined by a predetermined length less than that of the web, wherein each web accordingly includes a respective first and second flap overlying respective first and second ends of the cylinder, wherein each first and second flap includes a respective first and second hook and loop fastener surface coextensive therewith. The cylinder includes a respective second and third hook and loop fastener surface mounted to an exterior surface of the cylinder diametrically opposed to that of the web to receive and secure a respective flap thereon. The cylinder includes a respective blind bore directed interiorly of the cylinder from each end of a length less than that of the cylinder, wherein the tubes are arranged offset and parallel relative to one another. Each tube includes an associated indicator marker and receives an associated wire of a pacemaker, notably the atrial wire leads and the ventricular wire leads.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
A heart pacemaker wire protector device comprising, an elongate, flexible web defined by a predetermined web length, and an elongate cylinder defined by a cylinder length less than the web length mounted medially of the web coextensively of the cylinder, the cylinder including a right circular end wall and a left circular end wall, and the flexible web including a first flap extending beyond the cylinder overlying the right circular end wall, and a second flap extending beyond the cylinder overlying and extending beyond the left end wall, and a first storage tube directed in the cylinder extending from the right circular end wall interiorly of the cylinder, and a second storage tube within the cylinder extending from the left circular end wall, and each storage tube defined by a storage tube length less than the cylinder length.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
138 words
A heart pacemaker wire protector device comprising, an elongate, flexible web defined by a predetermined web length, and an elongate cylinder defined by a cylinder length less than the web length mounted medially of the web coextensively of the cylinder, the cylinder including a right circular end wall and a left circular end wall, and the flexible web including a first flap extending beyond the cylinder overlying the right circular end wall, and a second flap extending beyond the cylinder overlying and extending beyond the left end wall, and a first storage tube directed in the cylinder extending from the right circular end wall interiorly of the cylinder, and a second storage tube within the cylinder extending from the left circular end wall, and each storage tube defined by a storage tube length less than the cylinder length.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
174 words
An apparatus as set forth in claim 1 wherein the first flap includes a first hook and loop fastener surface formed coextensively thereof, with the first hook and loop fastener surface arranged in confronting relationship relative to the right circular end wall, and a second flap including a second hook and loop fastener surface coextensively formed to the second flap in confronting relationship relative to the left circular end wall, and a first fastener patch mounted to the cylinder adjacent the right circular end wall diametrically opposed to the web, with the first fastener patch including a third hook and loop fastener surface cooperative with the first hook and loop fastener surface to secure the first flap to the first fastener patch, and a second fastener patch mounted to the cylinder aligned with the first fastener patch adjacent the left circular end wall diametrically opposed to the web, with a fourth hook and loop fastener surface formed coextensively to the second fastener patch for securement of the second flap to the second fastener patch.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
An apparatus as set forth in claim 2 wherein the cylinder is transparent for visual observation of wires directed within the cylinder.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
59 words
An apparatus as set forth in claim 3 wherein the first storage tube includes a first indicator formed to the cylinder for indication of a first wire directed within a first storage tube and a second indicator formed on the cylinder associated with the second storage tube for indication of a second wire directed within the second storage tube.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
An apparatus as set forth in claim 4 wherein the first storage tube and the second storage tube are arranged parallel relative to one another in a spaced relationship.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
34 words
An apparatus as set forth in claim 5 including a fifth hook and loop fastener surface formed to the web coextensively thereof opposed to the cylinder and the first hook and loop fastener surfaces.
