Mounting bracket for respiratory therapy devices with polygonal cross-section

Abstract

Mounting bracket for a respiratory therapy device with a polygonal cross-section, comprising: a) a support element with fastening means for attachment to a supporting structure, b) a receiving tray arranged on the support element, which is form-fitting to the cross-section of the respiratory therapy device and receives the device rotated relative to its intended standing position, c) a clamping element that secures the respiratory therapy device against tipping, d) a locking element that engages in a recess on the device side and secures the respiratory therapy device against slipping out, characterized in that the respiratory therapy device can only be released from the holder by a defined movement.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a bracket for respiratory therapy devices, in particular CPAP devices for the treatment of sleep apnea, with a polygonal, in particular triangular, cross-section. The bracket is designed for attachment to a wall, a piece of furniture, a bed frame, or another supporting structure. State of the art

[0002] Common mounting systems for respiratory therapy devices are typically simple shelves or trays on which the device is placed horizontally. This arrangement leads to ergonomic disadvantages for devices with a polygonal cross-section. Furthermore, many devices lack designated mounting points for secure installation. Existing solutions do not provide reliable protection against the device accidentally falling out. Object of the invention

[0003] The invention is based on the objective of creating a holder for respiratory therapy devices with a polygonal cross-section that enables secure attachment without device-side attachment points, can be mounted on various support structures and at the same time ensures improved usability. Solution

[0004] This problem is solved by a mounting with the features of claim 1. The mounting according to the invention comprises a support element with fastening means for attachment to a support structure, a receiving shell that is form-fittingly adapted to the device cross-section, a clamping element, and a locking element that engages in a recess on the device. The respiratory therapy device is mounted rotated relative to its intended standing position so that the control panel is oriented towards the user. The device can only be released from the mounting by a defined movement. Advantages of the invention

[0005] The bracket according to the invention provides secure fixation without moving parts, screws, or straps. The rotated arrangement with the control panel facing the user significantly improves usability. The locking element utilizes an existing device recess not intended as a mounting point and prevents the device from unintentionally slipping out. The bracket can be attached to various supporting structures such as walls, furniture, or bed frames, either directly or via a separate mounting element.
