An arm is pivotally coupled to a support structure at one end and a patient care equipment support, such as a service head, is pivotally coupled to the arm at the other end. The arm has a first portion and a second portion coupled to the first portion for extension and retraction relative to the first portion. Brakes are provided to brake the extension and retraction of the portions of the arm, to brake the pivoting movement of the arm relative to the support structure, and to brake the pivoting movement of the patient care equipment support relative to the arm. Each of the brakes is releasable. |

A modular in-wall medical services outlet system comprising separate standardized vertical units that can be shipped separately and assembled on site to form a consolidated horizontal system. The system includes a self-aligning feature that allows the units to be leveled as a single whole and eliminates the need to level each unit separately. The alignment system may be combined with connectors which secure the units to each other. Racks of medical service outlets are included. The racks may be horizontally aligned, vertically aligned, or both. Substantially continuous trim and cover plate assemblies extend entirely across the face of the system around the outlets giving the system the appearance of an in-wall horizontal unit. The trim is attachable to the wall structure, receives the wall board, supports the service outlets, and provides horizontal equipment tracks. The frame provides the system with load bearing capacity to support equipment in the horizontal tracks. |

An open medical system for deploying, supporting and organizing medical equipment and medical utilities comprising a utility connection, and a main assembly having an upper plate and lower plate held in fixed spaced apart relation by a plurality of spacers, at least one core located between the upper plate and lower plate, with each core having at least one utility supply line and one outlet. An open space bounded by the upper and lower plates and the inner surfaces of the cores is free of utility outlets. Equipment rails are connected between the spacers to support medical equipment. The utility connection can be a ceiling tube or a base assembly, permitting the supplying of utilities from above or below the main assembly. Alternatively, the system can be supported by a support which can be a base assembly and can rotate. A rotating base assembly can be used to restrict rotation, and several alternative means can provide indexed rotation. Alternatively, the support can be provided from above the main assembly by a fixed support, or a moving articulating arm, or from both above and below. |

A universal bracket has affixed to it a raceway system, a three conduit gas rail sub-assembly, and high and low voltage electrical conductors. The raceway system includes various "knock outs" which permit access to the internal passageways of the system to facilitate installation of wiring and flow passageways. The gas rail sub-assembly may be mounted on the universal bracket in any one of two diverse orientations. In the preferred embodiment, the universal bracket is mounted on a vertical surface of a hospital room. |
