Publication number: 20140202461Abstract: An oxygen concentration and compression system includes an oxygen concentrator, a boost stage, a compressor, and a portable container. The boost stage receives oxygen enriched gas at a first pressure from the oxygen concentrator. The boost stage includes a pressure increasing device that increases the pressure of the oxygen enriched gas from the first pressure to a second, controlled pressure. The compressor receives the oxygen enriched gas at the second, controlled pressure and compresses the oxygen enriched gas to a third pressure in the portable container for later use by a patient. A patient outlet provides oxygen enriched gas from the oxygen concentrator or the boost stage for use by a patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2012Publication date: July 24, 2014Applicant: Invacare CorporationInventors: Gerold Goertzen, Michael R.

Publication number: 20130291300Abstract: An assembly includes a first and second frame members and a latch. A second interlocking feature of the second frame member is configured to interlock with a first interlocking feature of the first frame member when the second frame member is assembled with the first frame member and the second frame member is moved with respect to the first frame member from a first vertical position to a second vertical position. The latch is secured to the first frame member and is horizontally movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the latch engages a catch portion of the second frame member to secure the second frame member in the second vertical position. In the unlocked position, the latch disengages from the catch portion of the second frame member to permit movement of the second frame member to the first vertical position.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2013Publication date: November 7, 2013Applicant: INVACARE CORPORATIONInventors: Robert R.

Patent number: 7040637Abstract: A rollator with a tubular frame assembly includes a pair of U-shaped side frames connected by a front brace. Each side frame has a cross bar that extends between front legs and back legs of the frame. The side frames are pivotably attached to the front brace so that the side frames can fold inwardly. The rollator has a molded rigid seat that is mounted on pivot brackets to allow it to pivot upwardly out of the way of the user. The pivot brackets have an offset axis of rotation so that the seat is arranged in a curved area of the front brace when pivoted upwardly.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2001Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Assignee: Invacare CorporationInventors: John Owens, Robert R.

Patent number: 6314977Abstract: An orthopedic crutch is provided which has a parallel vertical support members which oppose a central longitudinal axis of the crutch. The support member include apertures on the opposing surfaces to form parallel pairs of apertures. An adjustable hand crutch includes a locking member which engages the aperture for each vertical support. The handgrip further has a support terminating in the collar on either side which encircles the corresponding vertical support. A yoke member cooperates with the inner portion of the collar relative to the longitudinal central axis of the crutch. The yoke member can be slid inwardly to disengage the locking element from the pairs of apertures. The locking member is retained in the retracted position until the next aperture is encountered.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 1999Date of Patent: November 13, 2001Assignee: Invacare CorporationInventors: Shane Obitts, Paul C.
