Siegfried Kiske; Hans-Karsten Reimers |
A mobile medical supply device with a supply apparatus, especially an anesthesia apparatus, with a plurality of supply and drain lines. To make simple handling possible in connection with the moving along of the supply and drain lines during the movement of the supply apparatus (12) and to make it at the same time possible to install the entire device simply and inexpensively, the supply apparatus (12) can be moved on rollers (14) and a ceiling fixture (2) with a rotatably suspended multilink arm (4) is provided, which arm carries a frame (8) at its end away from the axis of rotation of the ceiling fixture (2), so that the frame (8) is movable due to the rotation of the multilink arm (4) and the pivoting of the links (5, 6) of the arm in relation to one another. Furthermore, a mechanical connection (10) is provided between the supply apparatus (12) and the frame (8), and the connection (10) has clearance for vertical movements between the frame (8) and the supply apparatus (12), so that unevennesses of the floor can be compensated during the movement of the supply apparatus (12) without load on the ceiling fixture. The frame (8) is provided with a supply and drain lines suspending apparatus. The supply apparatus (12) of the device can thus be moved and supply and drain lines suspended on the frame (8) are carried automatically and simple handling is thus possible. At the same time, the ceiling fixture (2) may be designed as a simple and inexpensive ceiling fixture because of the low load to which it is subjected. |

Modular medical gas services column |
US08781220 |

James A. Walker |
A modular medical gas services unit with multiple medical gas outlets supported at the same level on the column. The unit preferably comprises a hollow column with an internal space for housing the gas conduits and power lines. The medical gas supply outlets are mounted so that their longitudinal axes extend radially from the vertical axis of the frame, and the longitudinal axes of adjacent outlets intersect to form an acute angle. In this way, the horizontal dimensions of the column can be minimized while the number of medical gas outlets at the desired height is maximized. In one embodiment, the column is pentagonal in cross-section providing five planar support surfaces for five medical gas outlets. In another embodiment, a square column is equipped with angled outlet panels, each supporting two medical gas outlets. Thus, though the frame is four-sided, as many as eight medical gas outlets can be mounted at the same height on the frame. |

A continuous care treatment platform includes a first service junction at a head end and a second service junction at a foot end. The first service junction delivers physiological surfaces to a patient supported by medically related utilities available from either an onboard supply or an offboard supply through the input service junction. An umbilicus, which includes a bundle of lines for conveying the utilities, has a first head end that connects to any of a plurality of standardized offboard service junctions and a second end that connects to the second onboard service junction at the foot of the platform. The standardized offboard service junctions make available larger quantities of the medical utilities. Continuous care is maintained by switching between the onboard supplies and offboard supplies available through the umbilicus. |

A method for selectively transportable equipment support system is provided for operative association with an invalid transport vehicle such as a hospital bed. The system includes a transport bracket for selective secured association with a hospital bed or a service column. Various patient care items are secured to the transport bracket. Such items preferably comprise infusion pumps with associated fluid bags that are typically transported with the patients and employed in surgical rooms or intensive care units. The transport bracket includes a pivot post for reception in a service column latching assembly which allows pivotable movement of the transport bracket when it is secured to a service column support arm. The service columns are pneumatically powered for powered lifting and positioning of the transport bracket. |
