Backpack type carrier for portable oxygen dispensers

摘要

This invention relates to a backpack type carrier for portable oxygen dispensers characterized by a padded frame, shoulder straps and a hip-encircling belt for supporting the frame on the back of the wearer, a flap formed of breathable material having a lower marginal edge attached to the padded frame in the area of the belt and extending upwardly therefrom so as to cooperate with the frame to define an open-topped pouch for the reception of a portable self-contained oxygen dispenser, retaining members connecting portions adjacent the sides of the flap to the frame for confining the sides of the oxygen dispenser while simultaneously permitting by-products exhausted from the latter to escape into the atmosphere, and a pocket on the outside of the flap for storing the oxygen delivery tube and associated nosepiece when not in use.
