Abstract
A breathing equipment training device and a method for breathing training using a breathing equipment training device. The breathing equipment training device includes a shell and a diaphragm. The shell includes a first opening and a second opening, the first opening configured to be inserted into a breathing opening in a mask to form a connection with the breathing opening of the mask, and the second opening configured to be exposed to ambient air. The diaphragm is positioned in an inner cavity of the shell about the second opening, and configured to impede airflow into the shell through the second opening.
Claims20
A breathing equipment training device, the device comprising:
- a shell having first and second openings, a portion of the shell adjacent to the first opening configured to be inserted into a breathing opening in a mask to form a connection with the breathing opening of the mask, the second opening configured to be exposed to ambient air;
- and
- a diaphragm positioned in an inner cavity of the shell about the second opening and configured to impede airflow into the shell through the second opening,
- wherein the shell includes a pin located within the inner cavity of the shell and fixed to the shell proximate the second opening, the pin configured to hold the diaphragm in position laterally between the first and second openings.
A method for breathing equipment training, the method comprising:
- attaching, to a mask, a breathing equipment training device that includes (i) a shell having first and second openings, a portion of the shell adjacent to the first opening configured to be inserted into a breathing opening in a mask to form a connection with the breathing opening of the mask, the second opening configured to be exposed to ambient air and (ii) a diaphragm positioned in an inner cavity of the shell about the second opening and configured to impede airflow into the shell through the second opening, wherein the shell includes a pin located within the inner cavity of the shell and fixed to the shell proximate the second opening, the pin configured to hold the diaphragm in position laterally between the first and second openings;
- and
- breathing through the breathing equipment training device.
A breathing equipment training device, the device comprising:
- a shell having first and second sets of openings, a portion of the shell adjacent to the first set of openings configured to be inserted into a breathing opening in a mask to form a connection with the breathing opening of the mask, the second set of openings configured to be exposed to ambient air;
- and
- a diaphragm positioned in an inner cavity of the shell about the second set of openings and configured to impede airflow into the shell through the second set of openings,
- wherein the shell further includes a pin located within the inner cavity of the shell forming a portion of the shell, the pin extending along an axis between the first and second sets of openings and positioned proximate the second set of openings, the pin configured to hold the diaphragm in position laterally between the first and second sets of openings.
