Filed: 1937-08-16
Abstract: 489,209. Respiratory appliances. DRAGER, O. H. Aug. 16, 1937, No. 22482. Convention date, Aug. 15, 1936. [Class 81 (ii)] In respiratory appliances wherein oxygen is supplied under pressure, and wherein a signal is provided to give warning when the apparatus is used with the oxygen cylinder closed or when the oxygen supply fails, the signal being rendered inoperative by oxygen - pressure - actuated mechanism, the latter mechanism is arranged outside the respiratory circuit and has a controlling element in abutting relation to the part operating the signal, thus permitting of the signal containing part being dismantled, as for cleaning, without affecting the pressure-controlled mechanism. As shown, a valve b in the inlet valve casing a is normally held by a spring c in occluding position in relation to a constriction g but is raised from this position by the pressure of oxygen supplied through a pipe y when the cylinder is opened, the pipe h leading to a chamber e separate from a and supported by a bracket f. The chamber e contains a diaphragm i bearing against a spring-pressed rod m itself abutting against the stem of valve b through a diaphragm d. The valve b gives warning by closing the respiratory circuit and may contain a whistle or the like operated by the respired air only when the valve is closed. In place of diaphragm i a collapsable metal or other bellows may be employed secured by its upper wall in a casing subject to the oxygen pressure, the lower wall carrying a rod extending freely through the upper wall and engaging diaphragm d. In another construction an expansible bellows subjected internally to the oxygen pressure is used. The diaphragm or like casing e may be detachably connected to the part a by a screw ring connecting flanged parts of the two members, or, in the case of a bellows construction, by a headed stud secured to and extending downwardly from diaphragm d and engageable with a radial and peripheral slot in the top of the bellows casing, the stud head abutting against the operating rod of the bellows.
