Fixing device for breathing tube
View Patent ↗A fixing device is applied to fix a breathing tube which includes a free segment located outside a patient, and the fixing device contains: a strap, a connector, and a fixer. The strap has two opposite ends, and each end is provided with a hooks-fastener portion and a loops-fastener portion. The connector defines a first slit and a second slit. Each end of the strap can be inserted through one of the slits to have the loops-fastener portion joined with the hooks-fastener portion, so that the strap is connected with the connector and formed into a collar capable of surrounding a patient's neck. The fixer includes a base mounted on the connector and includes two arms extending outwardly from the base so that the free segment of the breathing tube is clamped by the two arms.
1 . A fixing device for breathing tubes comprising a connector, a strap, and a fixer; wherein the connector defines a first slit and a second slit; the strap is made of a flexible, air-permeable material and has two opposite ends, each end provided with a hooks-fastener portion and a loops-fastener portion and capable of being inserted through one of the first and second slits of the connector to have the hooks-fastener portion joined with the loops-fastener portion, so that the strap is connected to the connector and formed into a collar that is adjustable in size to surround a patient's neck; the fixer has a base and two arms extending from the base and defining a space therebetween, the base being mounted to the connector, each of the two arms configured to have an inwardly curved section next to the base, and an outwardly curved section distal from the base; and wherein the connector is constructed of a first body, a second body, and a third body, the first slit defined at a top of the first body, the second slit defined at a top of the second body, the first body having a first retainer formed at a bottom thereof, the second body having a second retainer formed at a bottom thereof, the third body defining a locking hole to receive the first and second retainers of the first and second bodies, and provided at two opposite sides thereof with two press buttons engageable with the first and second retainers respectively, the base of the fixer mounted at a front of the third body, whereby the first and second bodies are detachably joined to the third body by inserting the first and second retainers thereof into the locking hole of the third body.
2 . The fixing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the base of the fixer is rotatably mounted at the front of the third body.
