  • Patent number: 11951259
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel designs of a medical tube for delivering a respiratory gas to a subject in respiratory therapy, wherein the medical tube is in fluid connection with a user interface and a respiratory device. The medical tube has a tubular body, a first rib helically extending along the outer surface of the tubular body, and optionally, a second rib disposed next to the first rib, and optionally, a membrane encapsulating the first and/or second ribs thereby creating a helical space along the outer surface of the tubular body. In some embodiments, the first rib has a lumen and at least one wire disposed outside the lumen. In other embodiments, the first rib is free of any lumen and includes one or more wires extended therethrough. The lumen of the first rib or the helical space created by membrane encapsulation is configured to monitor the temperature, humidity, flow rate or pressure of the respiratory gas or an exhaled/inhaled gas of a subject.

  • Patent number: 11920586
    Abstract: An air compressor is received in an accommodation box and contains a body, a cylinder, a motor, and a transmission mechanism. The body includes a first positioning orifice and a second positioning orifice. The cylinder is connected on the body and communicates with an air storage holder. The motor is fixed on the body, a small gear is received in the first positioning orifice, and a connection seat is accommodated in the first orifice. The transmission mechanism actuates a piston to move in the cylinder reciprocately so as to produce compressed air. The motor includes at least one locking extension for engaging the motor with the body. A first end of a respective one locking extension extends from the motor, and a second end of the respective one locking extension is engaged on the body, hence the motor is fixed on the body securely without using any screws.
