Claim 11

A resuscitator comprising: a. a mask having a peripheral portion adapted to sealingly engage a face of a person and to enclose a mouth and a nose of the person; b. a tubular body member on said mask, said body member having spaced portions and a port to the exterior in one of said portions; c. a gas inlet adjacent the other portion of said body member for communicating a source of gas to said body member; d. a flexible gas bag having one end thereof mounted on the other portion of said body member and adapted to be expanded by gas from said gas source; e. a second port within said body member and spaced from said first named port; f. said body portion between the ports having communication with the interior of the mask; g. valve means in said body member normally closing said second named port and movable between said second named port and said first named port for substantially closing same to thereby control gas flow into said mask for inhalation and exhalation flow from said mask respectively; h. said valve means comprising:

Claim 12

a connecting portion of reduced thickness between said mounting portion and said first flap portion, said connecting portion having one side thereof substantially coplanar with one side of said mounting portion and one side of said first flap portion; and

Claim 13

a connecting portion of reduced thickness between said mounting portion and said first flap portion, said connecting portion having one side thereof substantially coplanar with one side of said mounting portion and one side of said first flap portion; and

Claim 14

A resuscitator comprising: a. a mask having a wall having a peripheral portion adapted to be in sealing engagement with a face of a person and to enclose a mouth and a nose of the person; b. a tubular body member mounted on said mask and having a side wall and an end wall at one end of said body member; c. a tubular gas passage mounted on said body member and having one end thereof within and adjacent the other end of said body member for communicating a source of gas to said body member; d. a flexible gas bag having one end thereof open and mounted on the other end of said body member and adapted to be expanded by gas from said gas passage; e. a first port in the end wall of said body member; f. portions extending inwardly from said side wall of said body member and defining a second port, said second port being positioned in close proximity to said first port; g. said body member between the ports having communication with the interior of said mask; h. valve means in said body member and normally closing said second port and being movable between said end wall of said body member and said portions defining said second port for closing said first port and said second port respectively to thereby control gas flow through said second port for inhalation and flow through said first port during exhalation; i. said valve means comprising:

Claim 15

A resuscitator comprising: a. a mask having a wall having a peripheral portion adapted to be in sealing engagement with a face of a person and to enclose a mouth and a nose of the person; b. a tubular body member mounted on said mask and having a side wall and an end wall at one end of said body member; c. a tubular gas passage mounted on said body member and having one end thereof within and adjacent the other end of said body member for communicating a source of gas to said body member; d. a flexible gas bag having one end thereof open and mounted on the other end of said body member and adapted to be expanded by gas from said gas passage; e. a first port in the end wall of said body member; f. portions extending inwardly from said side wall of said body member and defining a second port, said second port being positioned in close proximity to said first port; g. said body member between the ports having communication with the interior of said mask; h. valve means in said body member and normally closing said second port and being movable between said end wall of said body member and said portions defining said second port for closing said first port and said second port respectively to thereby control gas flow through said second port for inhalation and flow through said first port during exhalation; i. said valve means comprising:
