Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel oxygen tank flotation device. The device is designed to be used in a pool without worry of the oxygen tank tipping over into the water while exercising. The device comprises an injection-molded body preferably made from a urethane foam, in addition to a plastic superstructure. The body and superstructure have at least one continuous opening that receives an oxygen tank. The opening of the superstructure also comprises at least one ratcheting clip that secures the oxygen tank within the opening. The device further comprises a clip to secure a valve tool of the oxygen tank and a tether strap to keep the device floating near a user.
Claims11
An oxygen tank flotation device that allows a user to swim or exercise in water without risk of an oxygen tank becoming submerged or tipping over into the water, the oxygen tank flotation device comprising:
- a body component, wherein the body component is square shaped;
- and
- a superstructure component, wherein the body component comprises a shallow interior component and an elevated perimeter component for securing the superstructure component;
- wherein the body component and the superstructure component comprise at least one continuous opening that receives an oxygen tank;
- wherein once the oxygen tank is secured within the superstructure component, the user can connect a cannula to a regulator of the oxygen tank and then secure the cannula around the nose and ears of the user before turning on the oxygen tank;
- wherein the superstructure component comprises four curved legs that come together to form an arched structure that suspends over the shallow interior component of the body component;
- and
- further wherein the oxygen tank flotation device keeps the oxygen tank afloat and protects the regulator of the oxygen tank from being submerged in the water.
An oxygen tank flotation device that allows a user to swim or exercise in water without risk of an oxygen tank becoming submerged or tipping over into the water, the oxygen tank flotation device comprising:
- a body component comprising a shallow interior component and an elevated perimeter component for securing the superstructure component;
- and
- a superstructure component comprising four curved legs which come together to form an arched structure which suspends over the shallow interior component of the body component;
- wherein the body component and the superstructure component comprise at least one continuous opening that receives an oxygen tank;
- wherein the oxygen tank is secured within the superstructure component via a ratcheting component and a slider component that allows the ratcheting component to secure around the oxygen tank;
- wherein there are two ratcheting components and two slider components which are positioned one on either side of the oxygen tank to secure the oxygen tank within the superstructure component;
- and
- further wherein once the oxygen tank is secured within the superstructure component, a user can connect a cannula to a regulator of the oxygen tank and then secure the cannula around their nose and ears and turn on the oxygen tank.
