Patent number: 7297127Abstract: A cervical immobilization device is disclosed and includes at least one and, preferably, at least two opposite arms that can be folded between a flat and an upright position to engage and support a patient's head. A reversible actuating device folds the arms to the supporting position, and can lock the arms in the folded supporting position. Alternatively, a locking device for locking the position of the arms in the folded supporting position can be provided. The reversible actuating device can be coupled to the arms for folding the arms to an upright position symmetrically and uniformly. In one embodiment, the reversible actuating device is a flexible member that passes around a guide to a position which can be gripped by the user.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2002Date of Patent: November 20, 2007Assignee: Ambu Inc.Inventors: Freddy T. Lee, Sanjay H. Parikh, Ronald M. Rudy, Jr., Thomas Murphy

Patent number: 7291121Abstract: A cervical immobilizing device includes a pair of arms that can be folded to an upright position to engage and support a patient's head, an actuating device for folding the arms to the supporting position, and a locking device for locking the position of the arms in the folded supporting position. The actuating device is coupled to the outer ends of the arms for folding the arms to an upright position symmetrically and uniformly. In one embodiment, the actuator device is flexible member that passes around a guide to a position which can be gripped by the user. The locking device can be a cinching, ratcheting or clamping device, or a combination thereof, on the actuator device. In one embodiment, the folding arms include a coupling device for coupling the arms to a base in a sliding arrangement to enable the arms to slide along the base to a folded position. A blank is also disclosed that can be folded to form the cervical immobilizing device.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2005Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignee: Ambu Inc.Inventors: Ronald M.

Patent number: 5842713Abstract: A stroller having wide wheels for use on soft sand. A forward wheel is mounted midline supported by a forward frame portion that is hingedly connected to a rear frame portion on which are mounted spaced apart rear wheels so that another stroller's forward wheel will nest therebetween. The hinge connecting the frame portions enables folding them to be parallel to one another and unfolding to lie in a common plane but prevents rotation beyond that plane. A vertical strut hinged to the rear of the rear portion is attached to a diagonal strut hinged to the rear of the forward frame portion to secure the use position, and a handle is hinged to the diagonal strut. The various components fold to lie parallel to one another in a compact storage position. A fabric or mesh seat is mounted on the diagonal strut and a footrest on the forward frame portion.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1997Date of Patent: December 1, 1998Assignee: Ambar Concepts, Inc.Inventors: Deborah A.
