International Classification:

A61B 1000

US Classification:

128751

Abstract:

A medical instrument for removing specimens from the lungs includes scissor-like cutting jaws and a tube which can be advanced toward the jaws to close them and slide over them. The jaws are biased to an open position when extended beyond the open end of the tube and include lateral projections which coact with longitudinal slots in the tube to guide the jaws relative to the tube.

Appl. No.:

5/615420

Inventors:

Arthur M. Harris - Miami Shores FL

International Classification:

A61M 1502
A61M 1300

US Classification:

128266

Abstract:

An inhalation device for encapsulated concentrates having a capsule piercing hypodermic needle, a mouthpiece and a cavity for receiving a capsule containing a granular medicant and the like, whereby the device is actuated to pierce the capsule to form a pair of aligned openings. An aerosol bottle is so mounted on the device that fluid under pressure is conducted through the hypodermic needle and through the aligned openings in the capsule to disperse particles of the medicant thereby. The mixture of fluid under pressure and particles of medicant are then discharged through a venturi passageway in the mouthpiece and into a person's mouth.

Inventors:

Arthur M. Harris - Miami Shores FL

International Classification:

A62B 700

US Classification:

1281455

Abstract:

A disposable mouth to mouth resuscitation device consisting of a pair of tubular members cemented together in end to end relation with a pair of valve discs in contact with each other interposed therebetween; one of the valve discs being rigid and the other flexible. Upon the person performing the resuscitation breathes into the tubular member having the rigid valve disc adjacent thereto, the flexible valve disc is made to flex away from the rigid valve disc and permit the air to pass through the second tubular member and into the person's mouth being resuscitated. Each exhalation of air and any vomit emitted by the person being resuscitated cause the flexible valve disc to seal against the rigid valve disc and be discharged to the atmosphere through openings formed in the side of the second tubular member. When the person performing the resuscitation breathes into the first tubular member, he closes off the openings with his fingers as well as the nostrils of the person being resuscitated and removes them when the latter exhales.

Appl. No.:

5/396123

Inventors:

Arthur M. Harris - Miami Shores FL

International Classification:

B65D 8314
G01F 1128

US Classification:

2224022

Abstract:

A metered valve assembly for dispensing a predetermined volume of fluid from a receptacle containing fluid under pressure for each actuation of the dispensing apparatus having a valve chamber of predetermined capacity with a check valve controlling the flow of fluid under pressure from the receptacle to the valve chamber and a control valve for discharging the fluid contained in the valve chamber. The valve structures are so characterized that upon the closing off of the control valve, fluid under pressure in the receptacle will lift the normally seated check valve off its seat to fill said valve chamber with fluid under pressure. Upon the actuation of the dispensing apparatus to dispense fluid, the force maintaining the check valve on its seat is progressively increased until the control valve is opened to permit the discharge of that volume of fluid trapped in the volume chamber.
