Abstract
Therapeutic oxygen tubing length is controlled with this device, using a wireless RF remote, utilizing a low voltage motor, a torque activated clutch for rewind/free-wheeling unwind operation and has a simple spool/tubing change out process without the need of tools.
Claims5
This device will reduce the tripping hazards caused by twists and tangles in excess therapeutic oxygen tubing by controlling the length of the tubing on the floor, with a wireless RF motor controlled spool.
The torque activated clutch, connects the motor to the tubing spool only during the rewind function, then leaves the spool in a free-wheeling condition, reducing the effort necessary to pull the tubing from the spool.
The motor controlled rewind operation is far superior and safer than using a spring retraction system.
Possible tripping hazards will be reduced with the tubing exiting the device at floor level.
The spool/tubing/swivel replacement procedure is not complicated and is simple to perform.
