Abstract: A point of application workstation (10) is disclosed and generally includes a base unit (12), a power unit (24), a support unit (26), a work surface and storage unit (56), a monitor assembly and a control unit (27). Extending upward from the base unit is the support unit which carries the work surface and storage unit, control unit and monitor assembly (28). The workstation may be stationary or mobile. The power unit is housed in the base unit. The work surface and storage unit may be configured with a variety of storage solutions for any of a number of work environments and tasks. The work surface and storage unit may house a computer that is integrated into the workstation. The control unit provides a measure of security for the workstation by allowing access to the workstation and control over its features only by authorized users.

Abstract: A utility cart includes a sensor or plurality of sensors to determine the state of a cart and secure cart contents. A sensor may be used to determine whether the contents of the cart have been accessed. When the sensor determines that the cart has been accessed, an alarm sequence that sounds an alarm or activates a visual indicator will be initiated. The alarm sequence may be terminated by a kill switch or by using an input device to deactivate the alarm. After the cart is used, the cart is re-stocked and the alarm controller is re-armed to return the cart's alarm system to an access sensing state.

Abstract: A lock mechanism for manually or automatically fixing a slide bar in either of two positions. A lock body has a key barrel adapted to rotate a lock cam in a first rotational direction. A latch is biased in a closed position, the latch being adapted to move to an open position when the lock cam is rotated in the first rotational direction. A slide bar is fixable in a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein the slide bar is biased in the unlocked position. A knob slider is adapted to move the slide bar into the locked position such that the latch moves to the closed position and engages a notch of the slide bar to fix the slide bar in the locked position. A servo motor is adapted to rotate a servo cam in a second rotational direction to move the slide bar into the locked position, and is adapted to rotate the lock cam in the first rotational direction to move the slide bar into the unlocked position. The key barrel is adapted to rotate in the first rotational direction to move the slide bar into the unlocked position. The lock mechanism can be made smaller, more compact, less expensive, have fewer parts, and be easier to manufacture.

Abstract: A utility cart includes an auxiliary swivel caster wheel assembly, a locking mechanism, and a trigger mechanism for causing the locking mechanism to releasably lock the auxiliary swivel caster wheel assembly. The auxiliary swivel caster wheel assembly is unlocked to enable the auxiliary swivel caster wheel to rotate about a vertical axis for improved maneuverability in small areas, and is locked to hold the auxiliary swivel caster wheel in a predetermined position for improved steering as the cart is moved from one location to another. The trigger mechanism is disposed on a steering handle to enable dynamic actuation of the locking mechanism while the cart is in motion.
