Abstract
An adjustably locking stethoscope identification tag having a first body and a second body, the first body defining a first surface and a second surface, the second body defining a third surface and a fourth surface, a first leg positioned adjacent to the second surface of the first body and extending in a direction away from the second surface of the first body, and a first leg retainer positioned adjacent to the third surface of the second body and extending in a direction away from the third surface of the second body, wherein a space defined between the first body and the second body is increased by moving the first body in a direction away from the second body and is decreased by moving the first body in a direction toward the second body.
Claims13
An adjustable stethoscope identification tag comprising:
- a first body having a first surface and a second surface, the first body having a first leg extending in a substantially perpendicular direction away from the second surface of the first body, the first leg having a first tab and second tab spaced apart from one another along a first leg length of the first leg, wherein the first tab and the second tab protrude in the same direction away from the first leg;
- and
- a second body having a third surface and a fourth surface, the second body having a first leg retainer extending in a substantially perpendicular direction away from the third surface of the second body, the first leg retainer defining a first leg retainer orifice having a first orifice end and a second orifice end, wherein the first orifice end is open and the second orifice end is closed by the third surface of the second body, the first leg retaining orifice having a first lip positioned in the orifice, wherein the first tab and the second tab are each capable of releasably engaging the first lip, with the first body adjustable with respect to the second body such that a space defined between the first body and the second body is increased by moving the first body in a direction away from the second body and is decreased by moving the first body in a direction toward the second body.

- a first leg retainer positioned adjacent to the third surface of the second body and extending in a direction away from the third surface of the second body;
- a first tab and a second tab spaced apart from one another along a first leg length of the first leg and the first tab and the second tab protruding in the same direction away from the first leg;
- and
- a first lip positioned in a first leg retainer orifice defined by the first leg retainer, the first leg retainer orifice having a first orifice end and a second orifice end, wherein the first orifice end is open and the second orifice end is closed by the third surface of the second body,
- wherein a space defined between the first body and the second body is increased by moving the first body in a direction away from the second body and is decreased by moving the first body in a direction toward the second body, and wherein the first tab and the second tab are each capable of releasably engaging the first lip.

A stethoscope comprising:
- a diaphragm;
- a Y-shaped hollow tubing having a trunk, a first ear portion, and a second ear portion, the trunk having a first trunk end and a second trunk end, the first trunk end connected to the diaphragm and the second trunk end connected to both the first ear portion and the second ear portion at an intersection of the second trunk end, the first ear portion, and the second ear portion;
- an identification tag positioned at the intersection of the trunk, the first ear portion, and the second ear portion of the Y-shaped hollow tubing, the identification tag comprising a first body and a second body, the first body defines a first surface and a second surface, the second body defines a third surface and a fourth surface;
- a first leg extending in a substantially perpendicular direction away from the second surface of the first body and a first leg retainer extending in a substantially perpendicular direction away from the third surface;
- and
- a first tab and a second tab spaced apart from one another along a first leg length of the first leg and the first tab and the second tab protruding in the same direction away from the first leg, wherein the Y-shaped hollow tubing passes between the first body and the second body, and the first body is adjustable with respect to the second body such that a space defined between the first body and the second body is increased by moving the first body in a direction away from the second body and is decreased by moving the first body in a direction toward the second body.
