Patent number: 10738808Abstract: A clamp for mounting a structure on a support. The clamp includes a fixed jaw, a base, and a moveable thruster plate between the fixed jaw and the base. The clamp includes a thruster cylinder configured to be rotatably received through the clamp body and having threads that engage a screw so that when the thruster cylinder rotates, the screw is advanced or retracted to move the thruster plate into and out of engagement with the support. A knob is used to rotate the thruster cylinder. The clamp includes a friction washer or collet located between the thruster cylinder and the clamp body. The clamp is configured so that when the thruster plate engages the support, further axial movement of the screw is prevented and further rotation of the knob and thruster cylinder compresses the friction washer or collet.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2018Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: PRYOR PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Paul Pryor, Richard Enoch Quintania, James Mark Cox, Kevin Donahue

Publication number: 20180073528Abstract: A clamp for mounting a structure on a support. The clamp includes a fixed jaw, a base, and a moveable thruster plate between the fixed jaw and the base. The clamp includes a thruster cylinder configured to be rotateably received through the clamp body and having threads that engage a screw so that when the thruster cylinder rotates, the screw is advanced or retracted to move the thruster plate into and out of engagement with the support. A knob is used to rotate the thruster cylinder. The base includes an annular opening for storing a spring and receiving the screw and the thruster cylinder. The clamp is configured so that when the thruster plate engages the support, further axial movement of the screw is prevented and further rotation of the knob and thruster cylinder compresses the spring thereby causing the thruster plate to apply additional force to the support.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2017Publication date: March 15, 2018Applicant: Pryor Products, Inc.Inventors: Paul PRYOR, Richard Enoch Quintania, James Mark Cox

Publication number: 20160245317Abstract: The device utilizes a thruster cylinder driven by a enlarged knob and terminating in a thruster plate to clamp to a support. Provision is made to attach a device to the clamp through a rotating index wheel which can lock the device by receiving a tang from a trigger lever at a selected increment of rotation. A second embodiment has two index wheels so that the attached device can be displaced in one of four directions to avoid conflict with other devices on the same support. The second axis is normally used to return a displaced device to an upright orientation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2014Publication date: August 25, 2016Applicant: Pryor ProductsInventors: Richard Enoch Quintania, James Mark Cox

Patent number: 8020815Abstract: The stand has modules to form a support base with elongated support members with wheels or legs. The stand can either incorporate two spaced load supporting posts or a single post extending from a spanner module that connects between the elongated support members. When two load support members are employed the user can step between the posts. When a single post and spanner are employed the user can step as far as the spanner near the center of support. The support members diverge from their centers provide a wide stance of the wheels or legs for stability. At the upper end of the post or posts a load support platform is carried either directly on a single post or through a cross-piece on a two post configuration. T-shaped slots in the post can be utilized to attach loads to the posts and a panel extending between posts.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2010Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Pryor ProductsInventor: James Mark Cox

Patent number: 5890687Abstract: The stand incorporates two pairs of wheels and a support pole carried from a central pivot member. The stand is collapsible from an upright orientation in which all wheels are floor-engaging to a folded orientation in which the wheels lie closely alongside the support pole. The wheels are carried on wheel support elements which in turn are connected to a central pivot member. Folding and collapsing actions are synchronized by control arms that extend between the support pole and wheel support elements.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 1996Date of Patent: April 6, 1999Assignee: Pryor ProductsInventors: Paul E.

Patent number: 5385324Abstract: A quick clamping system has a clamping device for releasable clamping engagement in a clamping direction with a selected support member oriented vertically or horizontally. A support portion on the clamping device projects outwardly from the support member, and has three orthogonally oriented mounting bores projecting inwardly from spaced regions on the outer surface of the support portion such that one of the bores will be upright whatever the orientation of the support member. A carrier for supporting one or more objects, such as medical equipment, has a pin member for selective engagement in the upright mounting bore.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 1994Date of Patent: January 31, 1995Assignee: Pryor ProductsInventors: Jeffery W.

Patent number: 5344169Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 1993Date of Patent: September 6, 1994Assignee: Pryor ProductsInventors: John W. Pryor, Jeffery W. Pryor, Jack W. Ratcliff

Patent number: 5337992Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 1993Date of Patent: August 16, 1994Assignee: Pryor Products, Inc.Inventors: John W.
