Abstract
An oxygen trainer system that includes a circulation body attachable to and in fluid communication with a mouthpiece. A valve cover can be mounted over a valve seat and a one-way valve. The valve can be configured to seal against the valve seat to prevent intake of air during inhalation into the circulation body from one or more exhaust apertures. A knob can be rotatably coupled to a second end of the circulation body. The knob can include an open end with one or more walls extended to a second end opposite the first end and an array of apertures positioned on the one or more walls between the first and second ends. The knob can be rotatable so that at least one of the apertures is alignable with an intake aperture of the system to control an air level resistance of the system.
Claims17
An oxygen trainer system, comprising:
- a circulation body attachable to and in fluid communication with a mouthpiece;
- a valve seat coupled to a first end of the circulation body:
- a valve cover mounted over the valve seat and the first end of the circulation body, the valve cover comprising one or more exhaust apertures;
- a one-way valve coupled to the valve seat and within the valve cover, the valve configured to seal against the valve seat to prevent intake of air during inhalation into the circulation body from the one or more exhaust apertures;
- a knob coupled to a second end of the circulation body, the knob comprising an open end with one or more walls extended to a second end opposite the first end and an array of apertures positioned on the one or more walls between the first and second ends;
- wherein the valve cover, the valve seat, and one-way valve are separate components;
- wherein the knob is rotatable so that at least one apertures of the array of apertures is alignable with an intake aperture of the oxygen trainer system to control an air level resistance of the oxygen trainer system;
- and
- wherein the apertures of the array of apertures are selectively positioned circumferentially along the knob in a spiral.
An oxygen trainer system, comprising:
- a circulation body attachable to and in fluid communication with a mouthpiece;
- a valve seat coupled to a first end of the circulation body;
- a valve cover mounted over the valve seat and the first end of the circulation body, the valve cover comprising one or more exhaust apertures;
- a one-way valve coupled to the valve seat and within the valve cover, the valve configured to seal against the valve seat to prevent intake of air during inhalation into the circulation body from the one or more exhaust apertures;
- a knob coupled to a second end of the circulation body, the knob comprising an open end with one or more walls extended to a second end opposite the first end and an array of apertures positioned on the one or more walls between the first and second ends;
- an exhaust valve cover nested within the valve cover, the exhaust valve cover comprising an array of apertures so that rotating the valve cover relative to at least one aperture of the array of apertures of the exhaust valve cover controls an air level resistance of the system during exhalation;
- wherein the valve cover, the valve seat, and one-way valve are separate components;
- wherein the knob is rotatable so that at least one apertures of the array of apertures is alignable with an intake aperture of the oxygen trainer system to control an air level resistance of the oxygen trainer system;
- and
- wherein the one or more exhaust apertures are radially arranged along an outer surface of the valve cover, the valve cover being rotatably coupled to the first end.
A method of using an oxygen trainer system, comprising:
- positioning a one-way valve on a circulation body of the oxygen trainer system that seals against an exhaust valve seat to prevent intake of air into the circulation body from one or more exhaust apertures of a valve cover during inhalation and wherein the valve cover, the valve seat, and one-way valve are separate components;
- nesting an inner valve cover within the valve cover, the inner valve cover comprising an array of apertures;
- and
- rotating the valve cover relative to at least one aperture of the array of apertures of the inner valve cover to control an air level resistance of the system during exhalation.
