  • Publication number: 20230264860
    Abstract: A vessel includes a container, a bracket, a bail and a grip. The container has a cavity configured to hold a liquid. The bracket extends from the container and comprises an arm spaced from the container. The arm has opposed first and second ends, and the arm is connected to the container only at its first end. The bail is pivotally connected to the container and has a grip thereon. The vessel is configured so that the grip has a position that is in contact with the arm, thereby defining, in combination, a composite vessel handle. A method of supporting a vessel includes pivoting the bail so that the grip is in contact with the arm and positioning at least a portion of a hand on the grip.

  • Publication number: 20030062040
    Abstract: A medical rescue system comprises a pressure responsive valve system that is configured to permit respiratory gases to be actively passed through the valve system and to prevent the flow of respiratory gases through the valve system until a threshold negative intrathoracic pressure is exceeded. The valve system further includes a swivel mount, and a ventilation tube is provided to be pivotally coupled to the swivel mount in the valve system. A headrest may also be provided to elevate and tilt the patient's head back and away from the patient's chest to assist in ventilating the patient. The communication device may be stored in the headrest to send communication signals to a remote receiver for emergency service.
