Abstract
Each of seven shown and described embodiments of anti choking implements serves for both self-rescue and assisted rescue. A trekking staff embodiment () includes a thrust pad pack () supportable by a length-adjustable trekking staff () having an anti shock feature (). The thrust pad pack is comprised of a series of nested selectable thrust pads (, and) differing in size and height relative to each other to suit the size and stature of a choking victim. Each thrust pad includes bilaterally adjustable elastomeric protuberances for abdominal thrusting bilaterally to avoid or minimize collateral compression of organs in the middle of the chest. Three table model embodiments (, and) are designed for use on household furniture. Among the table models is an embodiment having a pack () of detachably connected thrust pads (, and) differing in size and height. Three walking cane embodiments (, and) are shown and described wherein each can convert into an anti choking implement. Each cane embodiment includes a twin dome thrust pad pivotally supported to pivot from a storage position to a deployed position. The canes differ in the method of actuation, orientation, or position of the pivot mechanism.
