A manifold assembly is provided which includes a manifold block having a gas inlet and a gas outlet. The block also includes a regulator inlet in a planar surface of the manifold block which is connected to the gas inlet. The regulator outlet is also provided in the planar surface spaced from the regulator inlet and connected to the gas outlet. A regulator is mounted to the manifold block at the planar surface and includes an inlet and outlet on a common wall of the regulator. The inlet and outlet of the regulator have the same spacing as and communicates with the regulator inlet and outlet of the manifold block. In the preferred embodiment, one of the inlet and outlet of the regulator is annular and encompasses the other. |

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. |
