International Classification:

A47E 2900

US Classification:

248125

Abstract:

A support for an ambulatory patient has a hub member with a mounting device for mounting the hub member on a vertical IV pole of a wheeled IV stand. An arcuate hand grip member is secured to the hub member and radially spaced from the mounting device for gripping by an ambulatory patient receiving medication from an IV bottle on the stand. A downwardly facing, U-shaped channel is provided on the hub member for allowing the support to be hooked onto the rim of the head or foot board of a bed or gurney.

US Classification:

280289WC

Abstract:

An accessory carrier for carrying oxygen bottles, intraveneous containers and other medical accessories includes a lower vertically extending post for detachable attachment to the back of a wheelchair in a position to permit folding of the chair and including an upper elongated vertically extending post detachably connectable to the first post for supporting additional accessories. The lower post includes a slip bracket at the lower end thereof for attachment to a trailing kick tube of a wheelchair and includes a clamp sleeve for retaining the slip bracket in place on the tube. The tube clamp and the upper post may include either a thumb screw for holding it in place or a screw requiring a special tool, such as an Allen Wrench, to discourage theft.

Appl. No.:

8/009655

Inventors:

John W. Pryor - Oceanside CA
Jeffery W. Pryor - Vista CA
Jack W. Ratcliff - Carlsbad CA

Assignee:

Pryor Products - Oceanside CA

International Classification:

A47G 2100
B62B 310

US Classification:

280 793

Abstract:

A mobile support stand for hospital equipment has a plurality of poles projecting upwardly from a wheeled base with IV hangers at the upper ends of the poles. The base has a span sufficient to provide the needed stability against tipping, with legs projecting outwardly from the base with wheels at their free ends for supporting and transporting the stand. At least one of the legs is retractable between a fully extended, operative position and a retracted, non-extended position. A securing mechanism allows the stand to be secured to existing mounting holes on a hospital bed with the retractable leg facing outward, and once the stand is secured to the bed the retractable leg is retracted out of the way so that the floor space taken up by the bed and attached stand is minimized.

Appl. No.:

7/639671

Inventors:

John W. Pryor - Oceanside CA

Assignee:

Pryor Products - Oceanside CA

International Classification:

A47G 2900

US Classification:

248125

Abstract:

A support stand suitable for use in medical or other applications, which can be shipped or stored in a flat configuration. A support base is equipped with several rollers, located generally around the outside perimeter, which serve to support the assembled medical support stand. The depressed inside portion of the base is equipped with a permanently attached base post having a Morse taper or the like. A support post can be quickly assembled to the base with a single bolt by slipping the support post over the base post and tightening the bolt from beneath the base. The use of a Morse taper, a depressed inner portion in the base, and a female support post configuration are improvements that ensure the necessary strength, rigidity, stability and hygiene necessary for a support stand intended for use in medical applications.

International Classification:

G01B 700

US Classification:

377 24

Abstract:

The present invention provides a system for determining the deployed length of a flexible tension element such as cable which is wrapped in a pack and fed through a funnel. The element may be sensed using different types of sensors such as optical, acoustical or magnetic sensors. A sensor is mounted in a funnel flush with the inside funnel surface. As wraps of the flexible tension element are deployed, or pulled off from the pack, individual wraps of the flexible tension element pass across the face of a detector as the flexible tension element is displaced in a generally circular pattern around the inside of the funnel. Signal processing circuitry produces a signal indicating the presence of the flexible tension element within a predetermined distance of the sensor. For example, when a wrap of the flexible tension element is within a predetermined range of the sensor, head a signal representing a first logic level, such as a logic 1, generally in the form of a pulse, is produced; when the flexible tension element is beyond a predetermined range of the sensor head, a signal representing a second logic level, such as a logic zero is produced. A computer counts the pulses and a software program implemented in the computer calculates information about the pack status, such as the deployed length of the flexible tension element.

International Classification:

A47H 1104

US Classification:

248343

Abstract:

An apparatus for installing a cubicle curtain or IV track on a dropped ceiling constructed with standard tee-bars and lay-in tile includes a sliding channel member for sliding engagement over the track, and a clip device secured to the upper wall of the channel member for engaging over a ceiling tee-bar. The channel member can slide along the track and the clip device can slide along the tee-bar for positioning the track, before fastening the track in position. The clip device in one version includes a vertical support for direct attachment to ceiling or roof wires, where additional support is necessary.
