Apps for Note-Taking With iPads
I vividly remember how I first learned to take notes. My sixth grade geography teacher lectured in outline style: "Roman Numeral one - China. A - Qin Dynasty. 1 - Rulers . . . " We wrote down precisely what he said, and to this day, I still take notes in outline form. However, consider Sunni Brown's TED Talk, "Doodlers Unite." She argues that engaging in sketching while listening to complex ideas further supports learning.
While outlining may work for me, what about those who value taking notes in the margins? How about students who may benefit from audio feedback? What about text-to-speech? Photos? Doodles?
When students learn to hand-write their notes, they focus on content and organization within a single medium -- paper. They can write in outline form, create concept maps, or use their own personalized system to support their acquisition of knowledge. But what about the students who struggle to write or prefer to type? For them, paper becomes an inhibitor. With iPads, the potential exists to leverage these same visual, auditory and kinesthetic processes with multiple media in order to help students make even deeper connections.
Cameras and Microphones
One of the most valuable features of iPad to support note-taking may be the camera. Students might take pictures of the whiteboard during class discussion and then add them to their personal notes. Others may choose to handwrite during class, take a picture of their paper, and then type additional notes to solidify their understanding.
In addition to incorporating photos, many note-taking apps also include audio recording. Imagine the power of supporting a student who struggles with written output by allowing him to quickly record his thoughts, in his own voice, and connect those ideas to the content. The camera and microphone have the potential of empowering students to focus on the task of learning rather than the job of capturing information on paper.
Typing and Drawing
We experienced an influx of "laptop kids" in our middle school. These were students with evaluations indicating that a laptop would support note-taking. However, after the first few weeks, these same students often stopped bringing their computers to school. Despite having spell check, a dictionary and legible text, the type-driven structure of a word processing program created a new layer of issues rather than supports. Because the technology eliminated the ability to handwrite and draw, it put my students at a further disadvantage rather than supporting their learning.
With iPad, these same students could both type and draw their notes. Whether using Penultimate combined with Evernote, PaperPort Notes (which also includes speech-to-text) or Notability, the potential exists to type and draw simultaneously as well as include photos and audio. Consider the impact on the note-taking process when a student could take a picture of a paper note-taking guide and then type, draw or speak on top if it. Suddenly, students have the opportunity to choose the medium that best fits their learning style.
Supporting the Process
In a recent workshop, one of my participants -- Cynthia McClelland (@CynMcCl), an eighth grade social studies teacher in a 1:1 iPad program -- explained how she addresses note-taking in her class. First, she encourages the students to take notes on paper. Then, she asks them to type a summary of their notes in Evernote and include a picture of their hand-written work. Finally, students add their notes to a shared notebook so that she can review them.
However, iPads could also bolster the first step in her process. What if, during the process of reviewing her students' notes in Evernote, she discovers that some of her students consistently miss important points or don't seem to include enough detail? With either AudioNote or SoundNote, she could document their note-taking process in real-time, within the context of the class, and then work to support the development of specific skills.
Both of these apps sync audio recording with what is typed or drawn on screen. (You can test this out using the free AudioNote Lite.) Tapping on a word or part of a drawing jumps the audio recording to the relevant position in the track. These apps provide the capability to review exactly what a student writes down while playing back the audio. iPad literally highlights whether or not the salient points were recorded.
More Than One Solution
One of my former colleagues would write all key concepts on the board before the start of her French class. She asked her students to transcribe the notes into their notebooks during the first few minutes of each period so that they could focus on listening and speaking rather than writing once she started the lesson. Across the hall, another colleague asked his history students to come with a three-ring binder. Each day, as they entered the room, he provided a new note-taking guide for them to annotate. Next door, our English teacher leveraged active reading strategies and note-taking directly in a text. When I describe this scenario to other middle school teachers, they regularly nod in agreement as they reflect on their own practices.
Much like teachers choose a teaching process that best suits their content area, students need to identify the app, or features of an app, that best supports their learning. Some students might enjoy the freedom of being able to actively listen and then take photos for later reference. Others might furiously type each word, and for some students, paper may be the most effective note-taking tool. The beauty of note-taking with iPad is its impact on all learners.

Hi Beth,
I really enjoyed your article. My school has just been awarded a magnet school grant and our focus is technology and language. I am excited that we will be getting ipads into the classrooms. I was thinking of the game applications that we could use. After reading your article, I can see we could do so much more - I can especially see how your ideas could work for 4th and 5th graders.
Today during my 1st graders science hands on investigation of seeds, I could see how I could apply the same ideas as far as letting them take pictures of what they observed and then record the ideas that they can't write yet.
I've recently started a reflection journal for my masters program and realized that I could be taking pictures of pieces of my lessons with my iphone or ipad and then adding it to a journal entry in Pages.
Do you have any similiar ideas for primary students?
Thank you,
Thanks for sharing that article! You may also like Chris Harrow's post in how he uses AirSketch for the same reasons in his class where he only had 1 iPad.
Hi Mara.
You hit on some great points. The camera and microphone on iPad may be the most valuable assets for primary students! I wrote a bit about this in a few other posts:
There are some extraordinary teachers who are blogging about their use of iPads in primary classrooms.
http://www.mrswideen.com (grades 1-3)
http://blogs.falmouth.k12.ma.us/simplysuzy/ipaddling-in-the-byod-classroom/ (3rd grade)
https://sites.google.com/site/ipadsatnta/ (NTA iPad team from Chicago)
http://mattbgomez.com (kindergarten)
I hope that helps!
Thank you so much Beth. I will be looking at all these this week!
Thanks Beth so much for your blog and the other helpful blogs. I have been teaching Algebra with iPads for three years. When I started it was fairly new to my area and it has been amazing to watch the use of iPads in the classroom evolve.Your blog and the others have really helped me think about new things to try in my classroom.
Hi Jackie.
Happy to help! You may also really like Kyle Pearce's blog (http://tapintoteenminds.com) and Chris Harrow (http://casmusings.wordpress.com). They are both doing great things with Algebra and mobile devices.
You can set up a free WordPress.com site so that you can "Post via Email" and "Post via Voice" (phone call). I've suggested that any device that can create an email easily (for me that is with a full-sized keyboard [Bluetooth], for accuracy & speed) can be used to create digital notes. I have a Samsung Galaxy S III phone that will even connect to an Apple Wireless Keyboard. I can take photos of black/whiteboard notes, and handwritten or typed notes and attach them to the posting emails that I send. If there is no WIFI available, the email program will still let me create the notes, and then send at a later time when connected. I tried using a drawing pad to get handwritten notes digitized, but you just don't have the control of pen & paper.
My kids and I use Audionote and evernote- Audionote works great for classes, conferences, and more. My personal favorite, and worth the upgrade. You can also sync the audio with the Mac App and see content on your computer, avoiding any space limitations on your ipad.
Many schools prefer note-taking in Cornell Notes format.
If you'd like to take Cornell Notes, there is Classmint.
It also works in browser on iPad.
Beth -
Our school's technology policy requires that iPads be checked out daily, have their memories wiped at the end of each day, and be blocked from accessing student personal email accounts or personal cloud based accounts.
As our iPads are not linked to a printer, these policies prevent students from being able to save or retrieve work created on the iPads. I would love to be able to use iPads for note taking in my room using any of these apps you mention. Do you have recommendations for how to make that possible within our school technology policies?

People here act like its a virtue to want to play better players but ignore people in the higher league who also want to play better players. Once you let people play against higher level players just because they wish they could have that challenge then the system becomes worse for everyone else. Go out and show you don't belong at that level. If you aren't getting any straight set victories at your current level you obviously have a lot you can still learn there.
Completely agree with everything you said.
Question is what to do with players who have legitimate reason to believe that they are significantly better than where the league thinks they belong, and how to determine what is their true competitive level.
As an extreme example, if a player recently out of DI tennis wants to play, we're obviously not going to ask them to 'prove' their level by starting them out at a low level. Instead, we would take their tennis history into account. Likewise, the OP has a history at a higher level (3.5), so it seems that should be taken into consideration.
Disclaimer: I know nothing about Ultimate or other leagues outside of USTA, so I'm assuming levels between leagues are roughly equal.

9 Ways to Use Social Media to Launch a Book
Wondering how to get people excited about your book? Do you want people actively sharing your book with their friends?
In this article I'll reveal some of the social media techniques I used to get thousands of people excited enough about my new book Launch: How to Quickly Propel Your Business Beyond the Competition that they shared it with friends and peers.
By the way, you don't need to have a book to benefit from these tactics.
Why Social Media for Books?
Back in the old days, book promotion heavily relied on the traditional press. I remember the challenge of promoting my first book (Writing White Papers) back in 2006. I had to work with journals and print magazines—and their long editorial cycles. I also needed to speak at physical events and perform many other time-consuming tasks.
9 Companies Doing Social Media Right and Why
Is your business experiencing the social media success you had hoped for? Are you curious what successful companies are actually doing to gain social media success?
You've come to the right place. This article highlights nine companies (big and small) that have transformed their online presence by implementing innovative social media marketing.
You're sure to find inspiration for your social media efforts here.
5 Ways to Make Your Blog Posts Outstanding
Are your blog posts just "okay"? Want to make them great? If so, keep reading.
A great blog post respects the needs of three distinct entities. It educates and informs your audience (your subscribers and visitors), optimizes for the search engines and sufficiently energizes you so that you do a good job creating it.
Every blog post should address the following five components to ensure it hits the mark for your audience, the search engines and you.
Are You Using Social Media as Social Proof?
Did you know you can use social media to influence website visitors to stick around, read your content, become a subscriber or even tell their network about you or your business?
You can, and social media can be more effective than other forms of influence, as you'll see in a minute.
First, let's talk about the phenomenon I'm referring to. Influencing people you don't know (in this case, new web visitors) by using information is known as social proof.
How to Use Your Blog to Drive Social Sales
No matter how great your company is at playing the social media game, let's not kid ourselves… The ultimate goal for many businesses is profit, not engagements, retweets or Facebook likes.
The real question is how many people are buying what you're selling?
Unfortunately, getting your blog readers to buy what you're selling, especially if you run an online business, can be difficult. This article will reveal a proven technique to turn your blog into a sales engine.
3 Reasons Facebook Trumps Twitter for Business
Have you built a loyal following on Twitter but question the value of Facebook for business? Have you tried and abandoned your Facebook account?
If so, I can relate. I was there. My first attempt at using Facebook for business was a big flop. For the longest time I focused most of my social media marketing efforts on Twitter.
But now my tune has changed. Facebook offers far more opportunities for businesses. I predict that in the near future, businesses of all stripes will soon declare Facebook as their number-one social media target.
In this article I'll demonstrate why your business needs to invest heavily in Facebook.
7 Social Media Truths You Can Ignore and Still be Successful
There are a lot of social media experts out there—including the ones who claim there's no such thing as a "social media expert"—and they're telling us how social media works, how it doesn't work, and how we all must behave in the social media arena.
Much of this advice is framed as "universal truths" that every business must follow. Unfortunately, a lot of it is based on the expert's personal experience. And that may not be appropriate for you. Even the most well-intended advice is often off the mark when it comes to your business.
7 Ways to Use Psychological Influence With Social Media Content
One of the hallmarks of social media is content: creating it, sharing it and engaging with it.
The best content in social media inspires, informs, educates or entertains (and if you're really lucky, it does all four!). But how do you create content that goes viral?
What follows are seven strategies you can employ to help your content succeed.
The idea for this post came from Jay Baer's excellent article on creating reusable social media content, which defined how companies can generate more value by repurposing existing content.
21 Creative Ways To Increase Your Facebook Fanbase
If you build a Facebook Page, will fans come? This is the great hope for many businesses. However, fans do not magically appear from the Facebook mist.
People must be lured to your fan page. And there are some good and bad ways to go about doing this. In this article, I'll share a big myth and 21 ways to drive more fans to your Facebook fan page. (Though Facebook recently changed the "Become A Fan" button to the new, omnipresent "Like" button – and a fan page is called a "Business Page" or "Facebook Page" – we can still call them fan pages and people who join are fans!)
The Big Myth
There's a great myth that once you create a Facebook fan page for your business, the first thing you should do to get fans is invite ALL your friends from your personal profile using the "Suggest to Friends" feature.

Phentermine 37.5 Mg No Prescription
It seems like Qysmia must be a winner inside the fat reduction medication field. Apparently, the abundant availability of vitamin C provided by lemons and also other citrus fruits can trigger biochemical reactions that reduce fat content. The company must give doctors detailed information in regards to the risks in the drug, that they can can then pass on to their patients.

Since the compounds attach themselves towards the fat, fat deposits too becomes tough to digest, and also the body is unable to absorb such fat. Most with the diet pills suppress your appetite thus making you feel full.
It really is utilized medically being an hunger suppressor. It can be felt in a part of the body. Certain patients who don't respond adequately to 1 10mg capsule per day, could possibly be prescribed a 15mg capsule instead, provided that this 10mg capsule was well tolerated.

Given its subject, this snazzy, mawkish, and practically Pavlovian rock-doc is not only poignant but topical. In the summer of 1971, counterculture deity John Lennon relocates to New York and within a year of political activism with Yoko Ono elicits a memo from Senator Strom Thurmond to Attorney General John Mitchell suggesting that he be deported; a month later, the Immigration and Naturalization Service refuses to renew his visa. Lennon eventually prevailed, but he was neutralized for the duration of Nixon's presidential campaign. The film establishes its protagonist as the most quick-witted of public figures. You needn't be half as sharp to grasp the parallels made to Bush's America. -J. Hoberman Opens September 29

A rebel with a cause (and an eye), Portuguese director Pedro Costa is redefining cinema, working with Lisbon slum dwellers to create a collaborative expression of social injustice. In this defiant, astonishing film, Costa's experimentation reaches an aesthetic peak. Colossal Youth follows a middle-aged man on encounters with his "children," a series of downtrodden yet vibrant individuals who recount their deeply personal, tragic stories. A luminous glow caused by natural light reflecting from mirrors held off-camera often coats the characters, revealing them as wandering souls unable to find rest. The film is a cryptic, heartbreaking masterpiece: Patience is demanded-and completely rewarded. The screening begins at 1:00 p.m. -Mark Peranson October 8

Written and narrated by Kevin Kling, and shot in high-definition video, this short takes a comedic approach to telling the story of our fair city-"how we harnessed a waterfall, survived grain explosions, built skyscrapers and skyways, danced to polkas, punk, and Prince, won the World Series, and, along the way, ate a lot of sauerkraut." The film screens at 7:00 p.m. as part of Mill City's "Minneapolis Homecoming Party," which also includes the music of Martin Zellar, a variety of food samples, and a cash bar. October 13
Lagoon Cinema, 1320 Lagoon Ave., Mpls.; 612.825.6006.
Quite possibly the most accomplished indie film our state has ever seen, this first feature by St. Paul-based Ali Selim follows a German mail-order bride (Elizabeth Reaser) and her intended, a Norwegian immigrant farmer (Tim Guinee); the two slowly fall for one another while working on the land and against their insular community's ample prejudices in the wake of World War I. But it's equally the story of a filmmaker in love with his actors and his material. Directing with a light comic touch and a palpable affection for the characters, Selim draws pitch-perfect acting from a large cast and achieves breathtaking levels of color and clarity from 35mm film shot on a spare budget. -Rob Nelson Opens October 13

Shaun TabattCottage Grove, MNAge: 35-44Gender: male3 Stars Out Of 5June 12, 2009Shaun TabattCottage Grove, MNAge: 35-44Gender: maleWhen it comes to church, kids sometimes think and say the darnedest things. The Tales from the Back Pew series takes a light-hearted look at some of the misconceptions our children may have about church.In Easter Egg Haunt, the main character is heading over to the Easter egg hunt at church. In preparation, the kids paint all sorts of things on the eggs. After the kids finish the decorating, their Sunday school teacher tells them the real story of Easter. As it turns out, Easter is actually all about Jesus. Eggs and bunnies were added later, much like Santa Claus was added on to Christmas.Children ages 4-8 and their parents will enjoy the light-hearted fun found in the Tales from the Back Pew series. As you complete each story, you'll be able to talk about the realities of "church life" and how it really isn't as bad as they maybe thought it was at first. Be on the lookout for two new titles in this series (Walking the Plank to the Baptism Tank & The Three Wise Guys), both scheduled to release later this year.
Kathy Velasquez5 Stars Out Of 5April 28, 2009Kathy VelasquezI loved these books. They were humerous and told the story of Easter so children would understand.
Tammy Kiser3 Stars Out Of 5April 15, 2009Tammy KiserI personally didn't like the book that much. I debated on whether or not to use the book in my sunday school class. But I did kids responded well to it and really liked it especially the jokes. Just goes to show you what adults don't know. I recommend for ages 8-10.
Kristina4 Stars Out Of 5March 10, 2009KristinaFull of puns and jokes, this cartoon-illustrated book is ideal for a boyish or boisterous sense of humor, as well as for children who are only being introduced to the principles of Christianity in the early grades."It's Easter, and our church is going to have an Easter egg hunt. I hope they're not scrambled!" the text begins. Our young male storyteller wonders if the preacher will dress up like a bunny (or maybe Bunzilla or the Easter Mummy), while in Sunday school class, the girls paint flowers on eggs and the boys mostly paint their eggs like clowns. Our storyteller paints his eggs to look like Frankenstein. When the Sunday school teacher suggests this may not quite be in the spirit of Easter, our storyteller asks "What is the spirit of Easter?" The teacher then explains the true story of this holiday.Then the storyteller wonders what Easter has to do with eggs. "Well," the teacher replies, "the eggs are eggstra. People added them to the Holiday...sort of like Santa Claus was added to Christmas." The same is true with the Easter bunny, he says. "'So,' I said, 'Easter is really all about Jesus.' 'Like everything else.' My teacher smiled. 'Like everything else.'"The book also includes three pages of Easter-related riddles and jokes, interspersed throughout the main story of the book.What I Like: The humor running through this book is the stuff many preschoolers and early graders adore. The illustrations compliment the text so well, one wonders if Mike Thaler and Jared Lee are twins separated at birth.What I Dislike: It's distracting to read the interspersed riddle pages and all the little dialogue bubbles within the main illustrations. I suggest reading the book without these extras first, then going back and adding the sillier stuff later.Overall Rating: Very good.Kristina Seleshanko, Managing Editor, Christian Children's Book Review

The Louisiana Tech athletic department released photos of a special stars-and-stripes helmet the Bulldogs will wear in their Heart of Dallas Classic game against Army on Sept. 28 in the Cotton Bowl.

Oxford, Oxfordshire (PRWEB UK) 13 January 2014
There is a direct correlation between house price changes in particular areas of London and economic and political risks in different parts of the world, according to a new methodology developed by academics Professor Tarun Ramadorai and Dr Cristian Badarinza from the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. This goes a long way towards explaining why London house prices have continued to rise at a disproportionate rate compared with those in the rest of the country, and can also shed light on the well-known fact that capital flows appear to flow 'uphill' from relatively poor to relatively rich countries.
Ramadorai and Badarinza developed the methodology to investigate effects of 'safe haven' demand on the prices of a number of assets, which they test using data on London house prices. The methodology could also be applied to a range of other assets such as gold, real estate in other major cities of the world, or international equities.
"The seeming invulnerability of London's property market has long been assumed to be a result of its status as a 'safe haven' – an investment location in which assets will retain or even increase their value in the face of turbulence in other parts of the world. However, this perception has not been backed up with rigorous, empirical research on the issue," said Ramadorai. "The granular level at which we have analysed the data allows us to confirm that safe haven demand effects from Southern Europe, China, the Middle East, Russia, and South Asia are indeed important factors in explaining the dynamics of London house prices."
The research takes the simple approach of sub-dividing London into smaller geographic areas (electoral wards). The researchers linked each London area with specific foreign countries by the share of London residents in the area that hail from those countries. The research finds that increases in political and economic uncertainty in specific foreign countries strongly predict price rises in their linked London areas.
The research employs millions of house price transactions to identify this effect over the past decade and a half, using information from the Land Registry, the Office of National Statistics, and the Nationwide Building Society, as well as data on international economic and political uncertainty from a number of sources.
Specific findings include:
"Our methodology has allowed us to provide a rigorous analysis of the recent rise in London house prices, a phenomenon that has been widely commented upon in the press," said Ramadorai. "The potential to identify future unusual price rises using our method, and the implications for global capital flows suggests that our research could make a useful contribution to policy discussions."

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a holder for a medical tube, in general, and to a holder for attaching a medical tube to the body of a patient in order to enhance patient comfort and safety during medical procedures, in particular.
2. Prior Art
Many medical and surgical procedures require drainage and/or injection tubes to be applied to a patient. These tubes include tubes such as Foley catheters, bladder catheters, nose tubes, drainage tubes, intravenous tubes, cannulas, and the like. In use, such tubes extend from the body of the patient to a fluid source or drainage receptacle. It is frequently necessary to provide support for the tubes along the length thereof. This support is intended to prevent dislodging of the tube or fittings from the respective locations with regard to the patient and/or the source/drain units.
Typically, in the past, the procedure has been to support the medical tube by taping the tube directly to the body of the patient. Of course, the tube can be attached to splints or other devices which are also mounted on the body of the patient. As a result of these prior types of mountings, the connection and the mounting is extremely rigid and quite inflexible. This rigid, inflexible connector becomes more uncomfortable the longer it remains in place. Thus, it is a frequent source of complaints by the patient. Moreover, the patient frequently moves and, deliberately or inadvertently, causes the medical tube or fitting to become dislodged. Obviously, when the tube or fitting is dislodged, leakage or drainage can occur. Such leakage or drainage is frequently hazardous to the patient. In addition, it is wasteful of the materials which are to be provided to the patient. On the other hand, it is frequently unsanitary and, at least, unpleasant if the bodily fluids are discharged into the wrong location. The medical problems associated therewith such as infection and the like are clear.
Moreover, the utilization of tape directly on the body of the patient frequently causes rashes, inflammation and/or bed sores which are unpleasant to the patient and potential sources of infection or the like. The removal of this tape is another source of discomfort to the patient.
A more suitable method of mounting the tubing to the patient so that the disadvantages are overcome is clearly necessary.
The results of a preliminary patentability search are listed herewith. The patents uncovered during the search are listed in descending numerical order without any specific ranking thereof.

It includes an anchoring strip with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer covered by a peel-off cover sheet and a cord which passes through a pair of adjacent openings in the anchoring strip.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,025,015; DETACHABLE ARTICLE-MOUNTING DEVICE; E. S. Kolic. This patent is directed to a mounting device which includes first and second adapters having separable plug-and-socket engagement to each other. One of the adapters includes a means for mounting the same to a relatively thick surface by adhesive means.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,728,388; MEDICAL TUBE HOLDER; S. J. Page. This patent is directed to an article for attaching a medical tube to the body of a patient and comprises a clip releasably connectable to the medical tube, a pad having adhesive on one side thereof for adherence to the body of the patient and a flexible, stretchable band connected between the clip and the pad.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,702,612; CATHETER SUPPORT; R. M. Schlesinger. This patent is directed to a catheter support which has a yoke attached to a base plate by a resilient beam capable of accommodating limited motion of the catheter without pulling the catheter from the patient. The base plate is adhesively backed for placement on the patient's body surface.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,146,778; CATHETER SUPPORT; H. A. Krawiec. This patent is directed to a catheter support which includes a pair of elements, one for holding the catheter and the other for securing to the body of the patient. The two elements are snapped together when support of the catheter is needed.
This invention provides a holder for mounting a medical tube to the body of a patient. The holder prevents the easy dislodgment of all types of medical tubes such as IV tubes, catheters and the like from a patient while permitting increased comfort to the patient. The present invention eliminates the rigid, inflexible attachment technique of the prior art and replaces same with a holder which is swivelable so as to provide a substantial degree of freedom of movement between the medical tube and the body of the patient. By being able to swivel and pivot, the holder puts no undue pressure or stress on the skin site. This arrangement inhibits skin breakdown or trauma due to lack of strain and twisting on the skin site.
The tube holder of the instant invention includes a clip in the form of a flexible twist strap which can be readily locked or unlocked by merely twisting the respective ends thereof. A base for mounting on the patient's body is provided and can be adhered to the skin of the patient through a suitable adhesive. The clip is joined to the base in such a manner that permits the clip to swivel in relation to the base.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the holder of the instant invention.
FIG. 2 is a side view, partially broken-away, of the holder of the instant invention as shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the holder of the instant invention taken along the lines 3--3 in FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the holder of the instant invention taken along the lines 4--4 in FIG. 2.
FIG. 5 is a partial cross-sectional view of a portion of another embodiment of the instant invention.
FIG. 6 is a side view of another embodiment of the instant invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the swivel holder 100 of the instant invention. The holder 100 includes a tube-retaining clip 101, an interlocking unit 105 and a base 107. In a preferred embodiment, a suitable adhesive patch 108 can be provided at the underside of base 107 for securing the holder 100 to the body of a patient.
More particularly, the clip 101 includes a generally U-shaped retainer (see FIG. 2) formed of a relatively thin, flexible strand of a suitable material such as nylon or the like. The strand includes an inherent "set" or hysteresis so that the ends thereof will securely engage when twisted together but will easily separate when untwisted. The strand should be able to endure several twist/untwist operations without breaking or losing resilience. The clip 101 includes the spherical ends 102 at or near the ends of the arms of the U-shaped retainer. The ends 102 are utilized to provide an interlocking relationship when the upper ends of the clip 101 are twisted and engaged. Ends 102 can take any shape or configuration desired. In fact, in some instances, the ends can be omitted. However, the ends 102 provide a more secure interlocking relationship between the arms of the clip 101.
The lower, closed portion of the clip 101 is configured to receive appropriate tubes 150 or the like. Depending upon the type of tube 150 to be utilized, different dimension clips 101 can be utilized so that the tube 150 can be retained within the clip 101 when twisted without producing any constriction in the tube.
In addition, a plurality of protuberances or bumps 103 may be formed on the inner edge of the strip which forms clip 101. These bumps can be used to grip and center the tube 150 within the space at the lower, closed end of the clip 101.
In a preferred embodiment, clip 101 includes a separate, closed loop 104 formed of the same material as the clip 101. The lower loop 104 is joined to the clip 101 at the sides of the closed portion of the clip. In a preferred embodiment, the extended diameter of the arc of the lower, closed end of clip 101 is used to define the connecting points for the ends of the lower loop 104. The lower loop 104 is arranged to be substantially uniformly spaced away from the bottom of the closed loop portion of clip 101. It is contemplated that lower loop 104 can be joined to clip 101 in any suitable configuration.
The clip 101 and the lower loop 104 can be joined together with any suitable process such as sonic welding or the like. Alternatively, the loop 104 and the clip 101 can be formed integrally during the fabrication process.
A bottom connector unit 105 is a substantially inverted U-shaped device which is adapted to engage the lower loop 104 by passing through the opening thereof. The ends of the U-shaped connector 105 include appropriate flanges, ledges or the like. These ledges or flanges extend outwardly from the outer surface of the U-shaped connector 105 (see FIG. 3).
The base 107 includes the raised central portion thereof which defines a dome-like cavity 118 which receives the ends of U-shaped connector 105. An aperture 116 is formed in the upper surface of the base 107. The ends of connector 105 pass through the aperture 106 into cavity 118. Specifically, the ends of the connector 105 are adapted to be squeezed together and inserted through the aperture 106 in the base 107. The connector 105 has sufficient hysteresis so that, when released, it expands within the aperture 106 whereby the flanges on the ends of connector 105 engage and slidably interlock with the undersurface of base 107.
Alternatively, the base 107 may be sufficiently flexible to permit the ends of connector 105 to pass through aperture 106, but sufficiently rigid to retain the connector 105 therein.
In either case, the ends of connector 105 are free to rotate about the center axis of connector 105 which passes through the aperture 106 of housing 107. Thus, the connector 105 can rotate through 360�. The clip 101, which is joined to connector 105, either directly or through loop 104, can, therefore, rotate through 360�, as well.
In a preferred embodiment, an adhesive layer 108 can be provided on the outer undersurface of base 107. Thus, the support device 100 can be mounted securely to a bed or a patient. The adhesive layer 108 is conventional and may include any suitable adhesive material 109 such as adhesive tape, a gel adhesive, or the like. A peelable liner 137 can be used with the adhesive layer.
Referring now to FIG. 2, there is shown a partially broken away side view of the holder 100. The generally U-shaped clip 101 is shown having a bell-lyre shape in the open, untwisted condition. That is, the arms 141 and 142 of the clip are curved toward each other to form a pair of sinuous arms which will easily entwine. Again, this curvature permits an improved interlocking relationship between the arms 141 and 142, with or without the ends 102. The lower, closed end of the U-shaped clip 101 includes any desired number of the protuberances or bumps 103. A tube 150 is shown, in dashed outline, to represent the operation of the clip in maintaining the tubing.
The ends 102 of the clip 101 are generally spherical in shape. Again, the end configurations can be of any desired shape or omitted altogether, as desired. The clip 101 is, as noted, fabricated of nylon (or other suitable medical grade material) and configured to have a degree of hysteresis so that when the arms are twisted, they tend to return to the original condition whereby the interlocking thereof is achieved.
The lower loop 104 is shown adjacent to the bottom of the closed end of clip 101. It is conceivable that the loop 104 could be reconfigured or even omitted in some instances. However, the loop 104 permits a greater degree of freedom of movement of the clip 101 relative to the connector 105, as is readily apparent. Moreover, the tube 150 does not interfere with movement of the clip 101. The clip 101 can move through approximately 180� from left to right when the loop 104 passes through the connector 105. As will be seen subsequently, the clip 101 can move through 180� when rotating in the plane of the Figure.
The base 107 is shown to have a relatively flat lower surface 117 with an upraised, dome-like center portion which produces a cavity or chamber 118 at the center portion of the base. This space in the chamber 118 is provided to receive the ends of the connector 105. The connector 105 (shown in cross-sectional view) is substantially U-shaped and engages the loop 104 of the clip 101. The connector 105 includes flanges 125 or ledges at the ends thereof. These flanges extend outwardly from the sides of connector 105 and engage the underside of the upraised central portion 149 of base 107. The aperture 106 passes through the base 107, typically, at the center of the dome 149. The connector 105 passes through the aperture 106 and is free to rotate through 360� relative to the base.
Referring now to FIG. 3, there is shown an edge view of the holder 100. In particular, there is shown a cross-sectional view of the clip 101 taken along the lines 3--3 in FIG. 2. The clip 101 (or catch) is shown as a relatively straight or planar component, as described above. The protuberances or bumps 103 are shown to be relatively thin and extending inwardly from the inner surface of the clip 101. As shown in FIG. 3, the clip 101 has a generally cylindrical configuration.
Likewise, the loop 104 which extends from clip 101 has a generally cylindrical configuration which is, in this embodiment, somewhat smaller in diameter. This is not a requirement of the device. However, it provides a somewhat greater degree of flexibility and movement of the clip 101.
The base 107 includes the upraised portion 149 thereof and the aperture 106 in the upper surface of the upraised portion. The U-shaped connector 105 includes the flanges 125 shown in FIG. 3. These flanges, as noted above, engage the undersurface of base 107 adjacent to aperture 106 so that the expanded connector 105 will not pass through the opening 106. Typically, the connector 105 has one end thereof passed through loop 104. The two ends of the U-shaped connector 105 are then squeezed together and passed through aperture 106. This can be enhanced by applying a bevel or chamfer to the side wall 106A of the opening 106. However, the upper surface of the flanges 125 engages the undersurface of the dome 149 in the base 107 so that the connector 105 does not pull out through the aperture 106. Moreover, as seen from the Figures, the connector 105 is free to rotate through 360� thereby carrying with it the clip 101 which also rotates through 360�.
Referring now to FIG. 4, there is shown a bottom view of the holder 100 of the instant invention wherein the clip 101 and other parts are shown in phantom outline. It is seen how the flanges 125 of the connector 105 engage with the undersurface of the dome 149 of base 107 to retain the items together. The relationship of the loop 104 and the clip 101 (including the end portions 102) is also clear from FIG. 4.
In operation, holder 100 may be used for attaching medical tube 150 to the body of a patient (not shown). Assuming for example, and as shown in FIG. 1, that tube 150 is a bladder drainage tube. Tube 150 is typically draped over one leg of the patient and connected thereto at two locations. To use holder 100, the removable protective sheet 137 is removed from the adhesive layer 108. The holder 100 is attached to the body of the patient, as desired. Thereafter, clip 101 is twisted (if necessary) and opened, in the manner shown in FIG. 2, to permit the insertion thereinto of tube 150. The clip 101 is then twisted and closed as shown in FIG. 1. Thus, clip 101 will securely grip tube 150, thereby restricting movement thereof. Such firm connection may result in many different ways. For example, the inner diameter of clip 101 may be made slightly smaller than the outer diameter of tube 150 so that a slight pinching action occurs. Alternatively, clip 101 may have a sticky surface thereof to achieve the same result. However, neither of these possibilities may be necessary because of the well known fact that a cylindrical member passing through a thin annulus, at an angle thereto, tends to be gripped by the inner edges of the annulus and to prevent axial motion relative thereto. The bumps 103 also tend to grip the tubing 150. If desired, the bumps 103 may comprise a tacky material.
The resultant attachment of tube 150 to the body of the patient greatly enhances patient comfort and safety during a variety of medical procedures. With holder 100, the rigid, inflexible attaching techniques of the prior art are eliminated and replaced by a holder having built-in multi-direction motion capability which permits relative movement between medical tube 150 and the body of the patient. As a result, slight patient movement is permitted without discomfort and skin breakdown or trauma. Moreover, the possibility of tube dislodgement is significantly reduced. Holder 100 is simple and may be manufactured and sold inexpensively so that it may be used only once and thereafter discarded.
Referring now to FIG. 5, there is shown another embodiment of the instant invention. In this embodiment, holder 500 is quite similar to holder 100 shown in FIG. 1. The clip 501 is substantially the same as clip 101. However, in this embodiment, a spherical knob 505 is formed at the closed end of clip 501. Preferably, a short neck 525 is interposed between clip 501 and knob 505.
The base 507 is substantially identical to base 107 and includes an aperture 506 through when knob 505 is inserted. If necessary, base 507 may include one or more cuts 551 extending radially outwardly from aperture 506 to provide flexibility for receiving knob 505. The clip 501 is free to rotate and pivot as before. The neck 505 permits a degree of freedom of movement even though the knob 505 remains trapped in the base 507.
Referring now to FIG. 6, there is shown a side view of another embodiment o the instant invention. In this embodiment, the holder 600 includes the clip 601 which is substantially identical to the clip 101 in FIG. 1. The twistable, U-shaped or lyre-shaped clip 601 is formed of a thin strand or filament of plastic, such as nylon. The clip is provided with a hysteresis or resilience which causes the clip to selectively assume a normal position and an engaged (twisted) position. The knobs 102 and bumps 103 are substantially the same as the similar components described supra.
In this embodiment, the base 607 can be similar to the base 107. However, the base 607 can be flatter than the base 107 in that an interior chamber is not required. Thus, the base 607 can be substantially planar. In the typical configuration, base 607 is a round, disk-like element.
The adhesive layer 617 and the peelable liner 637 are similar to the adhesive layer 109 and the liner 137 described supra.
In the embodiment of FIG. 6, however, the stem 625 interconnects the base 607 and the clip 601. Moreover, the stem, base and clip can all be formed of a unitary element. The stem 625 is formed of a relatively thin strand of material, e.g. nylon. The stem 625 is capable of bending approximately 90� in any direction. Thus, the clip can fold down onto the base 607 (or the supporting surface such as a patient's skin). Likewise, the stem 625 can twist around the vertical axis thereof by up to 180�. (The twist limitation is normally defined by the use of the holder rather than the construction of the stem.) The resilience of the material of the holder causes the holder to return to the original position when the stem returns to its original position.
Thus, there is shown and described a unique design and concept of a swivel clip medical tube holder. The particular configuration shown and described herein relates to a holder for IV tubing or the like. In a preferred embodiment, the holder is formed of a suitable plastic material such as nylon, polyethylene, Delrin or the like. However, any appropriate material can be used. Moreover, the holder can be formed in a one-piece or in a multi-piece configuration. While this description is directed to a particular embodiment, it is understood that those skilled in the art may conceive modifications and/or variations to the specific embodiments shown and described herein. Any such modifications or variations which fall within the purview of this description are intended to be included therein as well. It is understood that the description herein is intended to be illustrative only and is not intended to be limitative.
