Patent number: 9737452Abstract: An arm is pivotally coupled to a support structure at one end and a patient care equipment support, such as a service head, is pivotally coupled to the arm at the other end. The arm has a first portion and a second portion coupled to the first portion for extension and retraction relative to the first portion. Brakes are provided to brake the extension and retraction of the portions of the arm, to brake the pivoting movement of the arm relative to the support structure, and to brake the pivoting movement of the patient care equipment support relative to the arm. Each of the brakes is releasable.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2012Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Inventors: David P. Lubbers, Paul R. Weil, D. Scott Manlove, Brian J. Hoffman, Christian H.

Patent number: 6899442Abstract: A surgical theater apparatus for suspending from a ceiling structural member of a hospital includes a central hub mountable to the ceiling structural member to rotate about a rotation axis. The hub has a pivot axis spaced apart from the rotation axis. First and second devices, such as surgical lights, a cameras, and monitors, are mounted to a first end of a first device arm and a first end of a second device arm, respectively. A second end of the first device arm is mounted to the hub for movement about the rotation axis and about the pivot axis. A second end of the second device arm is mounted to the hub for movement about the rotation axis. The pivot axis and the rotation axis are parallel.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2002Date of Patent: May 31, 2005Assignee: Hill-Rom Services, Inc.Inventors: Charles A. Howell, Jonathan D. Turner, Howard Reed, Richard H. Heimbrock, Scott Manlove, Gary A. Gray

Patent number: 6681426Abstract: A mattress for a stretcher comprises a mattress back portion supported on the stretcher back frame, a mattress shoulder portion supported on the stretcher head frame and a mattress head portion supported on the stretcher head rest. The thickness of the mattress shoulder portion is reduced relative to the thickness of the mattress back portion so that upwardly facing top surfaces of the mattress back and shoulder portions are generally coplanar.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2003Date of Patent: January 27, 2004Assignee: Hill-Rom Services, Inc.Inventors: Richard H. Heimbrock, Jonathan D. Turner, D. Scott Manlove

Patent number: 6639623Abstract: A surgical light apparatus includes a hub assembly configured to be attached to a ceiling, and an arm coupled for pivotal movement about the hub assembly. In certain embodiments, a monitor is mounted on a monitor mount attached to the arm. The monitor mount includes a handle on which a first actuator is mounted. A video input controller is electrically coupled to the monitor. The video input controller includes a first channel input having a video coupling for attachment to a first video input device providing a first video feed, a second channel input having a video coupling for attachment to a second video device providing a second video feed, and a channel controller coupled to the monitor, the first channel input, and the second channel input. The channel controller is coupled to the first actuator and is configured to select a video feed to the monitor in response to actuation of the first actuator. In certain embodiments, a camera mount is mounted to the arm.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2000Date of Patent: October 28, 2003Assignee: Hill-Rom Services, Inc.Inventors: Charles A. Howell, Jonathan D. Turner, Howard Reed, Richard H. Heimbrook, Scott Manlove, Gary A. Gray

Patent number: 6598247Abstract: A mechanism for initiating movement of a stretcher includes a drive wheel, and a lever or pedal actuated assembly. Moving the pedal or the lever moves a flexible drive link which is wound around a hub of the drive wheel. As the flexible drive link is pulled and unwound from the hub, the drive wheel engages the floor and rotates a sufficient distance to overcome inertia and align the swivel wheels of the stretcher in the desired direction.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2000Date of Patent: July 29, 2003Assignee: Hill-Rom Services, Inc.Inventors: Richard H. Heimbrock, Jonathan D. Turner, Stephen R. Hamberg, D. Scott Manlove, Donald E. Smith, Robert Mark Zerhusen
