A chair arm rest system containing a chair having a vertical chair member hingedly connected to a horizontal chair member. A base proximal to the vertical chair member is attached to the horizontal chair member. The arm rest post is spring-biased towards the horizontal chair member but pivots in opposition of the spring towards the vertical chair member. A distal end of the arm rest post is pivotally attached to the top end of the base. An arm rest surface is attached to a proximal end of the arm rest post. A first end of a sling is attached to the vertical chair member. A second end of the sling is connected to the arm rest surface. In operation, by moving the vertical chair member relative to the horizontal chair member, the sling self-adjusts and the spring-biased arm rest post pivots towards the vertical chair member.
The present invention is a system for administering nitrous oxide. The system includes an adjustable post mechanism attached to a dental chair. A mounting surface structure includes a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface of the mounting surface structure attached to a top end of the adjustable post mechanism. A fluid control system for controlling the flow of nitrous oxide and oxygen is attached to the mounting surface structure. A nitrous oxide and oxygen supply, vacuum source, a breather bag, and a nasal delivery interface system are fluidly connected to the fluid control system and a patient. The breather bag is vertically mounted to a top surface of the mounting surface structure. In operation, the present invention provides a system for administering anesthesia/analgesia gas which provides convenient and direct access to a medical practitioner.

Abstract:
The present invention is a method and system for administering nitrous oxide. The system includes a fluid control system for controlling the flow of nitrous oxide and oxygen to the patient. A nitrous oxide and oxygen supply, vacuum source, a breather bag, and a nasal delivery interface system are fluidly connected to the fluid control system and a patient. The fluid control system also includes a safety scavenge system including a mass airflow sensor, master controller, nitrous oxide valve, and alarm. The mass airflow sensor reads the scavenging vacuum pressure which it communicates to the master controller. Depending upon the scavenging vacuum pressure, the master controller can activate an alarm or shut off the flow of nitrous oxide. In operation, the present invention provides a system for administering anesthesia/analgesia gas which prevents excessively high volumes of exhaled nitrous oxide in the operatory environment through monitoring of the scavenge vacuum pressure.
The present invention provides a multi-view system containing a means for retaining multi-view system on a user's head. A frame support is pivotally connected to the means for retaining multi-view system. At least one display device, such as an LCD, is hingedly connected to the frame support. The display device is positioned away from the direct view of the user's eyes. In a preferred embodiment, the display device is positioned at least 3 degrees away from the direct view of the user's eyes. In operation, the user can see objects in direct view and the display device by moving the eyes to provide direct view and display device view capability.
The present invention is a delivery system that conceals instruments and supplies to reduce patient anxiety while also providing an additional storage area that is accessible in an ergonomically acceptable manner by the user. The delivery system contains a delivery platform and a storage unit. The delivery platform has a base connected to a primary work surface area. The primary work surface area is capable of storing instruments and supplies. A storage unit has an outer surface attached to a wall surface proximal to the delivery platform. The storage unit has an inner surface containing a secondary work surface area capable of storing instruments and supplies designed to supplement the primary work surface area. In addition, a cover is hingedly connected to the outer surface of the storage unit to conceal the secondary work surface area from direct view of a patient.
The present invention is a delivery channel is configured movement while maintaining a consistent orientation of items attached thereto. The delivery channel includes a frame support with a front plate attached thereto. The front plate includes at least one means for holding a medical instrument and at least one control mechanism for the medical instrument. The at least one means for holding medical instrument and the at least one control mechanism are attached to the front plate to facilitate a consistent orientation during movement of frame support. A support body engages an aperture defined within the frame support and is configured for engaging a support post attached to an object. In operation, the at least one means for holding medical instrument and the at least one control mechanism are in a consistent orientation relative to one another during movement of the frame support.

Abstract:
The present invention is a nitrous oxide safety system or method that provides a safety control valve actuated by low-vacuum fluids to control the release of nitrous oxide therethrough. The nitrous oxide safety system may include a low-vacuum fluid, a nitrous oxide fluid, a scavenging mask assembly, and a safety control valve. The low-vacuum fluid is generated by a vacuum source operating to achieve a predetermined parameter and the nitrous oxide fluid is provided by a nitrous oxide source. The scavenging mask assembly is fluidly connected with the nitrous oxide source and the vacuum source. The safety control valve is fluidly connected to the fluid connection between the nitrous oxide source and the vacuum source. The safety control valve is configured to be actuated when the low-vacuum fluid is input to the valve to release a flow of the nitrous oxide fluid through the safety control valve.
