Abstract: Apparatus for blocking the release of a surgical table from engagement with a floor bracket is provided. In a surgical table having a foot lever which actuates a bar to cause the release of connecting means from a tongue of a floor bracket, a vertical pin is provided on the bar. A base plate having a slot therein is provided on the lower portion of the surgical table adjacent to the pin. A blocking plunger of a first pulling solenoid may be extended across the slot to block the movement of the pin to prevent the displacement of the bar and the release of the connecting means from the tongue. The extension of the blocking plunger is caused by the retraction of an extension plunger of a second solenoid, which extension plunger is parallel to but disposed above the blocking plunger and is connected to the blocking plunger by a connecting block. The extension of the blocking plunger causes a cam surface on the connecting block to engage a cam follower to actuate a microswitch which produces a signal indicating the blocking of the pin. The blocking plunger may be retracted from its blocking position by being retracted by the first solenoid to free the pin and allow release of the surgical table from the floor bracket.

Abstract: A device for stabilizing/ejecting a lamp from a plug-in socket wherein the lamp is mountable in a frame. The device includes a spring member for stabilizing the lamp in the frame and an ejection member pivotally attached to the spring member. The ejection member includes an upper ejector, or cam formed therein for separating the socket from the lamp, an outwardly extending lower ejector for ejecting the lamp from the frame and a lever for sequentially actuating the upper ejector and the lower ejector in one stroke. The stroke moves the lever from a rest position in which the spring member is operative, through a transition position in which the upper ejector is operative to eject the socket from the lamp and to reinforce the spring member to stabilize the lamp during the socket separation. The lever moves from the transition position to a final position in which the lower ejector is operative to eject the lamp from the frame. The spring member includes two prongs spaced from each other to receive a portion of the lamp therebetween to align the lamp relative to the frame.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for preventing the undesired movement of the tabletop of a surgical table. The table is provided with a superstructure which supports a carriage assembly having lateral and longitudinal channels supported by rollers. A first rotary electric solenoid is mounted on the table superstructure and actuates by linkages a first locking shaft to lock the lateral carriage to the table superstructure. A second rotary electric solenoid is mounted on the lateral carriage and is connected by linkages to a second locking shaft to lock the longitudinal carriage to the lateral carriage. When the rotary solenoids are activated, their respective locking shafts are retracted thereby enabling horizontal translation of the tabletop.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for adjustably supporting an object, such as a surgical light, between two points on a yoke-type frame. A housing having a cylindrical cavity and a threaded axial bore therethrough is secured to one of two hubs provided on the legs of the yoke. An adjustment screw having a face plate passes through the aperture. Wave washers and a spherical washer having a spherically concave friction surface are provided within the housing's cavity. A shaft is supported within the housing by a spherical bearing and terminates in a nut having a spherically convex friction surface. A keyway and recessed area on the shaft serve to secure the light to the shaft. The hub on the other leg is provided with a spherical bearing which supports a second shaft. The second shaft has a keyway and a recessed area which are engaged by a key and adjusting screw on a second mounting bracket in the opposite side of the light. As such, the axial force generated by the adjusting screw creates a force on, respectively, the face plate, wave springs and the spherical washer. Such axial force creates a frictional force between the mating surfaces of the spherical washer and nut thereby adjustably retaining the light.

Abstract: An indirect locking and lock release mechanism is provided that permits remote actuation of the lock release function and automatic reset of the locking function in a chamber. Linear actuation of a push rod from a transfer platform causes linear actuation of a linearly aligned push rod on the ramp which in turn causes pivotal movement of a blocking member from a locked to an unlocked position in the chamber. A detent means on the transfer platform sealed in an airtight workstation permits remote actuation of the locking components in the chamber from a worksuit provided in the workstation. The locking function is automatically reset without any intervention by the user of the workstation.

Abstract: A hydrogen peroxide vapor generation unit (10) receives hydrogen peroxide and water solution at an interface (20) and interconnects with an air dryer (14) by way of nipples (72, 92). In one embodiment, the dryer includes a clamping assembly (42) which is latched (74, 94) with the nipples and which receives a disposable desiccant cartridge (40). In an alternate embodiment, a reusable desiccant cartridge (40′) is connected directly to the nipples (72, 92). When the desiccant cartridge (40′) is saturated, it is removed and placed in a regenerator unit (120). A regenerated cartridge is installed in its place.

Abstract: A sequential delivery assembly (30) sequentially releases three different treatment materials into a fluid flow path (24) to form a treatment fluid with a composition which varies throughout a cleaning and microbial decontamination cycle. A chamber (12) receives items to be cleaned and decontaminated. A pump (22) pumps the treatment fluid from the sequential delivery assembly along a fluid flow line (24) to nozzles (16, 18) disposed within the chamber. The nozzles spray the treatment fluid over the items to be cleaned and decontaminated. The delivery assembly includes a well (34) for receiving a three compartment cup (44). The cup contains a first compartment (70) which includes a cleaning material (76), such as a detergent. A second compartment (72) contains pre-treatment materials (78), such as buffers and corrosion inhibitors, which prepare the system for receiving a microbial decontaminant (80), such as a concentrated solution of peracetic acid, contained in the third compartment (74). The sequential delivery assembly includes a cup cutter assembly which sequentially cuts base portions (90, 94, 118) of the three compartments to release the treatment materials into the fluid flow line. The system allows items to be cleaned and then microbially decontaminated in a single process, avoiding the need to handle potentially hazardous instruments between cleaning and decontamination steps and ensures thorough cleaning and decontamination of the instruments with measured doses of the treatment materials.

Abstract: A counterbalanced arm for a lighthead has an upper arm portion, a lower arm portion adapted at one end to be connected to the lighthead and at the other end for articulation about the upper arm portion, and a pivot assembly connecting the upper arm portion to the lower arm portion. The pivot assembly defines a pivot axis about which the lower arm portion pivots with respect to the upper arm portion. A lever mechanism is positioned so that a first end is positioned on one side of the pivot axis and a second end is positioned on the opposite side of the pivot axis, with the first end being pivotally secured to either the upper arm portion or the lower arm portion. A pull rod is positioned within either the upper arm portion or the lower arm portion and is pivotally attached to the second end of lever mechanism. The pivot assembly and lever mechanism are designed to enable the lower arm portion to pivot about the pivot axis from a position forming an acute angle with respect to the upper arm portion through a position forming a 180 degree angle with upper arm portion. A spring is operatively connected to the pull rod so that the spring provides a force to counterbalance the lighthead.
