  • Patent number: 10292785
    Abstract: A grip (1), for a medical device (2), has an inner part (3), which has fastening features (6) for fastening to the medical device (2) and an outer part (4), which has a snap-in element (5), which can lockingly engage an snap opposing element (7) of the inner part (3) for the detachable fastening of the outer part (4) to the inner part (3) and at least partially overlaps the inner part (3) on surfaces not facing the medical device. An actuating element (8) is provided on the outer part (4), and is manually actuatable for unlocking detachment. The actuating element (8) is configured in one piece with the snap-in element (5) and the outer part (4) such that the actuating element (8) performs a movement with the snap-in element (5) in relation to the snap opposing element (7) during the unlocking.

  • Patent number: 8177181
    Abstract: A carrying arrangement having a carrier arm adjustable in elevation is improved so that a load carried thereby can be easily exchanged. A gas-pressure spring (6) incorporates a latching device in such a manner that the gas-pressure spring self latches when a predetermined blocking position (P2) is reached and the self-latching device is disabled in response to an application of pressure to the carrier arm so as to move the carrier arm beyond the blocking position (P2).

  • Patent number: 7735198
    Abstract: A pivotable bracket is provided such that a constant moment of friction is present at the hinge (4). A first hinge part (5) is provided, which has a cylindrical pin (6) and a contact surface (11). A second hinge part (12) is provided, which has a bearing bush (13), which can be pushed over the pin (6), with two friction surfaces (15, 16) directed at right angles to the central axis (14). The second hinge part (12) is braced against the contact surface (11) by means of a tensioning device (7, 19, 20, 21, 22) arranged on the upper side of the pin (6).
