Embodiment Construction

[0045] figure 1 A connector according to the invention is shown, indicated generally at 10 . The connector 10 is injection molded from a suitable plastics material as a single component, ie integrally formed. The connector 10 includes an upper channel 20 and a lower channel 30 .

[0046] figure 1 The connector 10 is shown oriented in use. In particular, the lower end of the lower channel 30 is connected to an upwardly protruding outlet port of the humidification chamber in use, and the upper end of the upper channel 20 is connected to a breathing tube for carrying humidified inhaled gas to the patient. In the following description the "upper" and "lower" parts of the connector 10 are figure 1 The orientation of the connector 10 is shown.

[0047] The upper and lower gas channels 20, 30 are generally tubular, the lower channels extend from openings in the walls of the upper channels, the upper and lower channels 20, 30 are oriented at an angle of 135° to each other.

Abstract

A component (10) of a respiratory apparatus is disclosed. The component (10) comprises a gas passageway defined by an enclosing wall (20, 30), and a port (40) which is disposed in the enclosing wall (20, 30) and adapted to receive an ancillary device (60). The component (10) also comprises a retaining arm (50) that is movable between an open configuration in which an ancillary device (60) may be engaged with the port (40), and a retention configuration in which the retaining arm (50) acts, in use, to resist removal of the ancillary device (60) from the port (40).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to respiratory apparatus and in particular to components of respiratory apparatus having ports for insertion of auxiliary devices such as sensor probes. Background technique [0002] Medical respiratory equipment typically includes a breathing circuit that is composed of a plurality of cooperating components that are connected together to form a gas pathway that carries inhaled and / or exhaled gases. It is often desirable to engage an auxiliary device with an air passage of a breathing circuit, for example for monitoring the temperature, flow and / or humidity of the air in the breathing circuit. In particular, the auxiliary device is usually a sensor probe which is exposed to the gas flow in the gas channel of the breathing circuit. [0003] In order to enable the auxiliary device to engage the gas passages of the breathing circuit, a suitable port is typically provided on one or more components making up the breathing circ...
