Patent number: 9084864Abstract: The present disclosure provides a universal breathing tube adaptor that can accept or otherwise accommodate a metered dose canister (MDC) having a variety of shapes, structures, sizes, and/or configurations. The present breathing tube adaptor includes a sidewall which defines a chamber. A conduit extends from the chamber through a floor of the device for discharging aerosolized medicament from the MDC. The sidewall includes opposing exposed edges which define a channel. The sidewall supports the MDC when it is invertingly inserted into the chamber. The channel permits structure of an MDC to extend radially outward through the channel and outside the chamber thereby enabling the valve stem of the MDC to engage the conduit.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2011Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: Barthel LLCInventors: Mark Schroeder, Timothy Patrick Barry, Evan James Joyce, Ryan Ross Childs, Ozair Iqbal Chaudhry
