Abstract
An improved oxygen delivery system for use in a fishing vessel which is capable of distributing oxygen to individual fish and minnow live-well holding tanks for oxygenating the water within each such holding tank to sustain the fish and minnows therewithin, as well as distributing oxygen to a person in need of oxygen, such as in the case of a medical emergency.
Claims17
An apparatus, comprising:
- oxygen supply means for providing a predetermined supply of pressurized oxygen;
- regulation means in fluid communication with said oxygen supply means for selectively dispensing said pressurized oxygen from said oxygen supply means, said regulation means including first metering means and second metering means;
- oxygen diffusion means connected to said first metering means for diffusing oxygen within a water bath, said first metering means for selectively adjusting the flow of said pressurized oxygen to said oxygen diffusion means;
- and
- oxygen mask means connected to said second metering means for delivering oxygen to a patient in need of oxygen, said second metering means for selectively adjusting the flow of said pressurized oxygen to said oxygen mask means.
An oxygen distribution system for use with a fishing vessel having at least one holding tank having a water bath disposed therein, comprising:
- oxygen supply means for supplying pressurized oxygen;
- regulation means associated with said oxygen supply means for controlling the egress of said pressurized oxygen from said oxygen supply means;
- oxygen diffusion means associated with said regulation means and disposed within said water bath within said at least one holding tank, said oxygen diffusion means for oxygenating said water bath within said at least one holding tank;
- and
- oxygen mask means for connection to said regulation means for supplying oxygen to a human being in need of oxygen.
A method of distributing oxygen, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing an oxygen distribution system including oxygen supply means for supplying pressurized oxygen, regulation means for controlling the egress of said pressurized oxygen from said oxygen supply means, oxygen diffusion means associated with said regulation means for placement within a water bath, and oxygen mask means for attachment to said regulation means;
- (b) adjusting said regulation means to control the oxygenation of said water bath with said oxygen diffusion means;
- and
- (c) attaching said oxygen mask means to said regulation means to supply oxygen to a victim during a medical emergency.
