Bungis cord not just for jumping

To you out there troubled and tired,
Try this trick. I set up a retired airforce colonel who had difficulty moving around in the nght causing mask leaks..alas interupted sleep. He attached a bungi cord system to his tubing and hung it from the ceiling. This allowed free movement of his tube and stopped the problem of leaks. Don't ask me how it was set up. He told me this over the phone during a follow up. Anyone else have a good trouble shooting idea? Let us not continue to reinvent the wheel. We are closer to a more practical cure than we realize. I'll split the patent with you...AUTOMATIC

Hey Automatic,

rested gal uses the women's version of a bungee cord, it's called a "hair scrunchy"

Everybodies "wheel" is a little different.

I made a stand out of 1/2" PVC, but did not glue it so that it could be disassembled for travel. It fits under the mattress and extends up about 18" above the mattress with an end cap. I then installed an eye hook to the PVC cap and attached a electronic access card holder (the kind you attach to your belt) that has a retractable string attached. On to this I attached a hair scrunchy and ran the hose through it.

Hmmmm. Interesting. I just talked my wife into standing next to the bed and holding my hose.... (er, let me rephrase that)

Liam, who couldn't resist.

There used to be a device resmed made, the "swingarm" that you could attach to your bed post and have it hold up your hose. Alas, it was canned due to lack of sales.

I toss and turn alot.. so much that my hose often falls off my mask - do any of you have that happen?

Hanging my hose in a nice clean way would probably help...thanks for the tip!
