Motorized RF wireless controlled tubing storage device for home therapeutic oxygen use patients

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.

1 . 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.  
   
   
       2 . 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.  
   
   
       3 . The motor controlled rewind operation is far superior and safer than using a spring retraction system.  
   
   
       4 . Possible tripping hazards will be reduced with the tubing exiting the device at floor level.  
   
   
       5 . The spool/tubing/swivel replacement procedure is not complicated and is simple to perform.
