    摘要: A hinge assembly includes a pivoting body attached to a base with a front surface. The pivoting body has a front end and rear end and at least one friction reducing member biased rearwardly against the front surface of the body. The friction reducing member is retractable relative to the pivoting body substantially parallel to the direction of the bias. The front surface has an inclined portion and an apex. When the pivoting body is in a rest position the at least one friction reducing member is maintained at the apex. The pivoting body is pivotable in a first direction to an activation that causes the friction reducing member to roll along the inclined portion with the friction reducing member retracting in the forward direction against the bias. When force is removed from the pivoting body in the activation position, the bias against the contoured front surface returns the pivoting body to the rest position via indirect forces.

    摘要: One embodiment of a bidirectional pedal assembly includes a base structure connectable to a vehicle structure and a pedal support member pivotally mounted on the base structure to be pivotable around an axis of rotation from a rest position in a first direction and in a second direction opposite to the first direction. First and second spring elements to urge the pedal support member to its rest position. First and second frictional mechanisms are disposed between the pedal support member and the first and second springs, such that the first and second frictional mechanisms, respectively, moves with the pedal support member and transmits force from the pedal support member to one of the first and second spring elements. Each frictional mechanism is arranged to increase a frictional resistance to retard pivotal movements of the pedal support member upon force being transmitted through the respective frictional mechanism.

    摘要: A foot pedal with a treadle that pivots up and down to vary its pitch, and/or side to side to vary its yaw. The pivot range of motion is divided into a plurality of zones, each zone configured to correspond to a respective virtual switch. When the treadle is pivoted into one of the zones, the corresponding virtual switch is activated. The virtual switch controls an operatively coupled device such as a handpiece used in a surgical procedure.

    摘要: The present invention pertains to programming a foot pedal and switches located therewith that is used with a medical device and/or medical device system. A user may select any switch or directional movement available on the foot pedal for programming by activating the switch and/or moving a treadle located on the foot pedal or by selecting a foot pedal feature on a display. The programming options available for the selected switch or directional movement are displayed on the display screen. Using the foot pedal, the display screen, voice command or combinations thereof, the user can navigate through different options to select one or more options and confirm the chosen option(s) for the particular switch or directional movement. The control and feel of the movement of the treadle and/or switch provides the user with the ability to program custom settings that suit the user's foot position(s) and/or particular style of surgery.

    摘要: A medical system (10′) is disclosed that uses at least two-foot activated controllers (160, 165). These foot-activated controllers (160, 165) communicate with a common mon medical device (12, 30). However, the foot-activated controller (160) controls more functionality than the foot-activated controller (165) in relation to the medical device (12, 30) in common communication therewith.
