Dual arm overhead air supply system
| Details |
Inventors: Funicello, John C.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Lee; Kevin
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm:
An overhead dual arm tubular structure for supplying fresh and/or pneumatic air power to an operator and/or his air tool in a work area of varying shape. A structure whose main arm is freely revolvable about its vertical axis has a second arm of similar length swinging radially from its free end. Self returning hoses carrying air down from the second arm's outward end, enable an operator to work high or low anywhere within the periphery of the dual arm radius. A belt clip hanging at the end of the self returning hoses incorporates a quick release mechanism and hose swivels to allow the operator to easily engage and disengage from his fresh air supply and revolve freely about the attached fresh and/or compressed air hoses without risk of entanglement. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What I claim is: 1.
A dual arm overhead air supply system for supplying fresh air to a breathing apparatus worn by a worker comprising a main arm rotating around a vertical axis, mounted overhead in a chosen work area, with a second arm swinging radially within said work area from an outer end of said main arm, with said main and second arms carrying fresh air to an outer end of said second arm to a down turn, from said down turn a hose having a swiveling means connects through an operator attachment means to a breathing apparatus.
2.
A system according to claim 1, wherein said operator attachment means has a quick release means to easily disengage said worker from said attachment means.
3.
A dual arm overhead fresh and compressed air supply system for supplying fresh and compressed air to a worker comprising a freely rotatable main arm mounted overhead in a work area, with a second arm swinging radially from an outer end of said main arm, whose said main and second arms carry the fresh and compressed air in separate lines to an outer end of said second arm to a down turn, attached to said down turn, two hoses having a swiveling means carry separately said fresh and compressed air to an operator attachment means, allowing said worker to rotate freely about said hoses, with said fresh air conducted to a breathing apparatus on the worker and said compressed air conducted in a separate airline from said attachment means to an air tool.
4.
A system according to claim 3, wherein said operator attachment means has a quick release means to easily disengage the worker from said attachment means.
5.
A system according to claim 3, wherein said fresh air is generated from an electric blower or other air pressurization means to provide the worker with air for breathing.
6.
A system according to claim 3, wherein said breathing apparatus is comprised of a hood, or a full or half-face respirator.
7.
A system according to claim 3, wherein said hoses are comprised of two self-coiling hoses each constructed of preformed plastic coils, with one said hose carrying said compressed air and the other carrying said fresh air to said operator attachment means
