Patent ID: 7686014

Claim:
Nebulizer-connecting device for respirators with a breathing air-directing unit comprising: a first connecting mechanism for connecting a duct supplying breathing air, a second connecting mechanism for connecting a duct evacuating breathing air, and a third connecting mechanism for connecting a nebulizer, wherein a sealing unit is arranged on the third connecting mechanism and comprises a sealing member housing, with a sealing member arranged therein, wherein the sealing member is configured so that in a first position, the sealing member seals a flow path for an aerosol generated by a connected nebulizer and in a second position, the sealing member unblocks the flow path from an aerosol generated by a connected nebulizer, wherein the sealing member is also configured so that in the second position, the flow path is free of the sealing member such that the sealing member completely unblocks the flow path, and wherein the unblocking or sealing of the flow path for the aerosol is performed by the action of the nebulizer, or a part thereof, on the sealing unit.
