Can sombody give me a drawing of a medical oxygen tank with its parts and uses?

The link below shows a First Aid oxygen tank, with tubing and face mask etc, (I would be ashamed to own this kit as it old and the tubing etc needs replacing). Trying to find a full break down of the components in drawing form is difficult.

I have one drawing which I hand out to my students, but Unfortunately i don't have it on file, other wise I send it to you.

However I can give you a list of components and their uses, which are very similar to all oxygen therapy kits. Hospitals may vary a little differently, but on the whole similar.

Oxygen unit components;
The tank comes in various sizes, either a black tank with white shoulder or sliver tank with a green shoulder.
They are clearly labeled Medical Oxygen, and the valve has O2 stamped on it.

The valve - has to locating pins, which the Yoke fits onto

Yoke - Fits onto the valve of the cylinder, by the locating pins, once in place the thumb screw is tightened to hold the cylinder in place.

Bodok seal - (maybe called something else in other countries) this is a neoprene washer, with an aluminum surround which is located in the yoke and provides a seal between the yoke and the cylinder valve.

Regulator - This is the name given to the stainless steel section between the yoke and the pressure gauge. The regulator reduces the high cylinder pressure so the that the oxygen can be administered at a set flow rate.

Pressure gauge - Indicates the amount of oxygen contained in the cylinder, this gauge is attached to the regulator.

Flow rate control - Allows the flow of oxygen (liters per minute) to be adjusted.

Yoke plug - A solid piece of steel (often brass or stainless steel) which should be fitted in the yoke when no cylinder is fitted. This prevents dust getting into the regulator.

Oxygen tubing - Green or white plastic tube (disposable), which carries oxygen from the regulator to the therapy mask.

Therapy mask - A therapy mask (disposable) fits over the patients face and has a nipple for the oxygen tubing to fit onto. This mask usually has a number of holes in the side to allow exhaled air to vent from the mask. Use only for spontaneously breathing people.

Hope this helps
