Patent Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention is related to first aid accessory
for a patient and particularly to a first aid prompt tag, which
can be carried with the patient, to be marked with first aid method
in case of the patient being attacked and to be marked with information
concerning identification of the patient and the contact person
with a compartment being provided for storing first aid medicine
such that the medicine can be taken out by the patient or others
beside the patient during performing the first aid.
[0003] 2. Brief description of related art:
[0004] Patients having chronic diseases such as high blood pressure,
heart disease, diabetes mellitus and epilepsy can be attacked suddenly
at any time and any places including taking bath in the bath room.
It is very easy to result in paralytic stroke if the patients of
high blood pressure and heart disease are not treated with proper
first aid within 3 to 5 minutes right after sudden attack. Even
more seriously, the patients may be dead in case of not being rescued
in time. As for the patient of diabetes mellitus, it may result
in stupor due to too much low blood sugar without being helped in
time. First aid done by others is extremely required while a patient
is unable to help himself or loses consciousness during being attacked.
A stranger beside the patient is incapable of performing effective
first aid within key timing due to being unaware of the patient's
condition.
[0005] Some patients of high blood pressure, heart disease and
diabetes mellitus carry first aid medicine with them for being able
to take the medicine themselves in case of being attacked suddenly
so as to avoid the worsening of illness. However, when the patients
are unable to help themselves during being attacked suddenly, the
key timing of the first aid may be lost because others do not know
the patents have carried the medicine with them and do not want
and dare to use the medicine to perform the first aid even they
know the medicine is carried about with the patients.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The crux of the present invention resides in that a first
aid tag is provided for being carried by patients of chronic diseases
such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes mellitus and
epilepsy with case history and first aid method thereon such that
others can promptly learn the patient's condition and use the medicine
therein to perform the first aid so as to avoid that the state of
illness is getting worse or even more seriously the patient becomes
dead due to not performing the first aid in time.
[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a first
aid prompt tag, which can be carried with the patient, for others
beside the patient can perform the first aid according to instructions
on the tag in case of the patient being attacked suddenly.
[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a
first aid prompt tag, which has a container for receiving first
aid medicine needed by the patient, for others or the patient himself
being able to take out the medicine during performing the first
aid.
[0009] A further object of the present invention is to provide
a first aid prompt tag with which the personal identification information
of the patient and phone number of the emergency contact person
can be marked so that it is possible for others to reach the patient's
relative or friend for helping the patient seeing a doctor or going
home.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIENT
[0015] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a first-aid prompt tag according
to the present invention includes a main member 10, which has a
first label side 11, a second label side 12, a compartment 13 and
a hanging hole 14. The first label side 11 as shown in FIG. 3 indicates
a first-aid notice for being used in case of the patient being attacked
by chronic disease suddenly and the notice can be expressed such
as "notice for first-aid of angina pectoris: put a tablet of
medicine under tongue or at a lateral side of the mouth cavity for
being melted and absorbed, another tablet of the medicine is taken
after 5 minutes if the patient is not relieved and goes to see a
doctor if it is ineffective after taking 3 tablets in 15 minutes;
if there is no feeling of scorching hot under the tongue during
taking the medicine, the medicine is expired and it is necessary
to take a note of expiration date." The second label side 12
is behind the first label side 11 as shown in FIG. 4 and it is recorded
that "The first-aid medicine in the compartment has to be prescribed
by the doctor in advance." Information of patient's Name, phone
number, address, blood type, case history and emergency contact
person's name and phone number are also marked at the second label
side 12. The compartment 13 is located under the first label sides
11 and the second label side 12 for storing first aid medicine with
an opening provided with internal screw threads to engage with the
screw rod 151 on a plug 15. The screw rod 151 is attached with an
elastic washer 152 to allow the plug 15 closing the opening of the
compartment 13 tightly. A hang hoe 14 is disposed at the top of
the tag above the first and second label sides 11, 12 for an elongated
soft object such as a hanging chain or a hanging thread 16 being
able to pass through so that the first aid prompt tag of the present
invention can be carried about with the patient by way of being
hung on the neck or the hand of the patient with the hanging thread
16.
[0016] Both the main member 10 and the plug 15 used in the first
aid prompt tag of the present invention can be made of acrylic material
and the plug 15 also can be made of metallic material. The main
member 10 can be integrally made with the compartment 13 or can
be joined to a container with the compartment 13. Due to the washer
152 being placed between the plug 15 and the main member 10, the
plug 15 can block the compartment 13 with air tightness, waterproof
and dryness so as to prevent the medicine in the compartment 13
from going bad. The hanging chain or hang thread 16 is made of high
temperature resistant and soft material for the patient feeling
snug.
[0017] The first-aid notice, which is used in case of the patient
being attacked by chronic disease suddenly and located on the first
label side 11, can be printed directly to the first label side 11
or can be printed on a piece of water resistant stick paper before
being stuck to the first label side 11. The personal information
of the patient and the emergency contact person on the second label
side 12 can be printed by the medical institute or pharmacy personnel
or the patient himself or printed on a piece of stick paper before
being stuck to the second label side 12. The personal information
can be refrained from marking on the second label side 12 if privacy
of the patient is needed to keep confidential.
[0018] It is appreciated that the first aid emergency tag of the
present invention is possible to be carried with the patient at
all times even during taking bath. The first aid medicine in the
compartment can be taken out by the patient himself or others beside
the patent at any time in case of the patient being attacked suddenly
by the disease while the medicine is needed to take. The first aid
notice on the first label side lets others know what the disease
of the patient is and take effective action according to the first
aid notice. The personal information of the patient and the emergency
contact person is helpful for the helper to recognize who the patient
is before guiding the patient back home or to notify the contact
person before the subsequent treatment or to see a doctor immediately.
Hence, it is very helpful for the patient himself or others beside
the patient to perform necessary first aid and best help for the
patient can be obtained promptly.
[0019] While the invention has been described with referencing
to a preferred embodiment thereof, it is to be understood that modifications
or variations may be easily made without departing from the spirit
of this invention, which is defined by the appended claims. |
