Personal gas supply delivery system

Abstract

A supply of gas such as oxygen is provided to a person in need of such gas supply. The delivery system includes an alarm to alert the recipient of the gas or another when and if the gas supply is disrupted. The alarm system preferably includes a reset and on-off switch that is recessed sufficiently to prevent accidental disabling of the alarm system.

       31 . A personal gas supply delivery system comprising: 
 a vessel, for when in use having a moisturizing liquid, to provide a source of moisture to increase the amount of moisture in an influent gas passing through the moisturizing liquid to obtain a moisturized effluent gas,    said vessel having a first opening for receiving an influent gas,    said moisturizing vessel having a second opening for when in use, receiving the moisturized effluent gas,    a single first flexible conduit connected with said second opening, said single first flexible conduit for when in use, for receiving the moisturized effluent gas,    a gas flow alarm connected with said single first flexible conduit, and    a single second flexible conduit connected with said gas flow alarm, said second conduit in fluid communication with said single first flexible conduit,    said gas flow alarm for determining the instantaneous pressure or flow volume of the moisturized effluent gas; and,    said single second flexible conduit connecting with a pair of spaced apart nasal fittings.    
   
   
       32 . The personal gas supply delivery system according to  claim 31  wherein the gas flow alarm is set to alert a recipient of the effluent gas by an audible signal.  
   
   
       33 . The personal gas supply delivery system according to  claim 31  wherein the gas flow alarm is set to alert a recipient of the effluent gas by a visual signal.  
   
   
       34 . The personal gas supply delivery system according to  claim 31  wherein the gas flow alarm is set to alert the recipient of the effluent gas by a vibratory signal.  
   
   
       35 . The personal gas supply delivery system according to  claim 31  further comprising an alarm reset feature located between said single first flexible conduit and said single second flexible conduit.  
   
   
       36 . The personal gas supply delivery system according to  claim 31  further comprising an alarm test feature located between said single first flexible conduit and said single second flexible conduit.  
   
   
       37 . A method of permitting a recipient of a moisturizing gas from a personal gas supply delivery system to respond to a condition of an alarm in the personal gas supply delivery system comprising: 
 obtaining personal gas supply delivery system having a vessel,    said vessel, for when in use having a moisturizing liquid, to provide a source of moisture to increase the amount of moisture in an influent gas passing through the moisturizing liquid to obtain a moisturized effluent gas,    said vessel having a first opening for receiving an influent gas,    said moisturizing vessel having a second opening,    a single first flexible conduit connected with said second opening, said single first flexible conduit for when in use, for receiving the moisturized effluent gas,    a gas flow alarm connected with said single first flexible conduit, and    a single second flexible conduit connected with said gas flow alarm, said second conduit in fluid communication with said single first flexible conduit,    said gas flow alarm for determining the instantaneous pressure or flow volume of the moisturized effluent gas;    said single second flexible conduit connecting with a pair of spaced apart nasal fittings and,    said gas flow alarm being proximate to said pair of spaced apart nasal fittings to permit the recipient of a moisturizing gas to respond to a condition of said alarm.
