  • Publication number: 20110084039
    Abstract: An organizer for surgical instruments and the like comprising a T-shaped plastic body defining an interior channel having two inlets and an outlets, a cover for the channel which may be hingedly attached to the body or connected by way of snap fittings. A plurality of split cylinder instrument holders are mounted to the top surface of the cover in side-by-side parallel relationship to receive and hold elongate instruments or tools with flexible tubes, hoses or cables gathered and held in the body channel. Two-sided tape may be used to secure the organizer to a surgical drape. The organizer is preferably packaged in a sterile condition inside of a hermetically-sealed plastic package.

  • Patent number: 6430036
    Abstract: A housing for electrical devices such as connectors, circuit breakers, and fuse panels. A cable outlet port member is separate from the housing to provide unidirectional resistance to movement of a cable relative to the housing. The non-integral relationship permits the members to be replaced in the event of damage. A busbar formed by a stamping and bending operation is also disclosed for use in combination with conventional circuit breakers.

  • Patent number: 5486205
    Abstract: An air diffuser system for a medical thermal blanket wherein air forced over an elongated heat exchanger is substantially uniformly distributed over the heat exchanger and a thermal sensor located downstream over the heat exchanger to eliminate localized hot and cold "spots" and permit accurate temperature measurement of the air and provide an effective exchange of heat between flowing air and the heat exchanger, the apparatus of invention is characterized by its concise configuration and dimensions.

  • Patent number: 5283718
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a fiber optic lamp system such as those employed in medical diagnostic systems using a cabinet containing a power supply having a front extendible drawer containing a 250 watt focused beam metal halide arc lamp mounted in a removable bracket which includes a sensing tab extension. The bracket sensing tab operates an electrical interlock switch when the proper lamp is properly installed. The interlock switch controls power to the system whose circuit includes pin and floating sleeve electrical connectors which automatically directly completes the circuit to the arc lamp upon the drawer being closed. The amount of light transferred to the fiber optic cable is optimized by offsetting the axis of focused light with respect to the optic cable axis at the cable interface.

  • Patent number: 5272610
    Abstract: A light fixture having an arcuate convex lens includes a decorative strip extending across the lens convex configuration usually adhered thereto by an adhesive mounted on the strip. Decorative strip end retainers are homogeneously defined at lateral edges of the lens and comprise recesses having an opening adjacent the lens exterior convex surface whereby the decorative strip ends are received within the recess opening and the recesses retain the decorative strip end preventing the ends from pulling away from the lens surface.
