Abstract: A surgery table load monitoring system utilizing a base member fixed to a surgery table support. The base member is connected to at least one platform structural member to determine load forces due to the weight of a patient on the platform structured member. Detectors are used to indicate particular stresses and generate a signal which may be employed to disable movement of the surgery table.

Abstract: An adjustable support apparatus for a surgery table utilizing a platform having first and second end portions. First and second end supports are used to mount the platform which is adjusted by a carriage having a pawl operator. The carriage includes studs having support surfaces for the platform. A tower utilizing a gear rack interacts with the carriage pawl operator to position the platform relative to the first and second end support of the surgery table.

Abstract: A tractor is provided with an endless belt which travels in a triangular path and a drive shaft located well below the level of the paper path. The tractor body has both an inner and outer body portion, each of which contains a journal bearing for support on the support shaft. An adjustable torsion spring lock is provided on the outer body portion and surrounds the support shaft to allow for easy locking adjustment of the axial location of the tractor on the support shaft. A front and rear closeable panel are provided along the document feed path. Only the front panel need be opened during feeding while both front and rear panels may be opened to clear the feed path during advancement jam. Two mirror image features are provided at the entrance of the feed path on either body portion such as to cover document pins located on the belt path and thereby decrease likelihood of injury to an operator during feeding operations.
