Abstract: An apparatus for transporting surgical needles includes a needle holding apparatus having a movable jaw structure. The jaw structure is releasably biased in a closed position for holding needles in a predetermined position. The jaw structure may include laterally movable first and second sections for rotating a needle therebetween.The needle holding apparatus may be removably positionable on a work surface such that the needle holding apparatus may interface with a needle loading apparatus. The needle loading apparatus provides accommodating means capable of containing a multiplicity of needles. A needle advancing structure, such as a movable track, advances the needles in a predetermined fashion from the accommodating means. The needle advancing structure positions needles such that said jaw structure of the holding apparatus can selectively grasp the needles and transport the needle to another location.

Abstract: This invention relates to a computer servicing cart which includes a structural frame for use in defining a housing for the cart and for use in carrying and rollably supporting said housing. The frame includes a base, uprights, and angular struts connecting the uprights and base. A cross member and a handle are secured to the uprights. Rolling means are secured to the base. Rearward rolling means are provided and includes an angularly disposed mount system for positioning larger rear wheels rearwardly for ease of rolling. The housing is formed about the frame and includes a forward section and a rearward section. The forward section is provided for carrying servicing items and the rearward section carries a vacuum tank, gas cylinder and a hose reel. The rearward section includes a depressed well section in the center thereof for receiving the hose reel in a lowered position. The top of the cart includes a foldable top for opening onto the handle and providing a work surface.

Abstract: There is disclosed herein a cart for computer cleaning. The cart includes a wheeled housing which defines a housing and a work surface at the top end of the frame. The housing includes a rear compartment in which a compressed gas unit, a retractable hose reel, a vacuum, and a retractable power cord are mounted. In addition, the housing includes an openable front compartment in which various tools are carried at convenient locations. The top of the cart carries a foldable work surface which may be folded to an open position wherein the computer components can be laid on the work surface. The frame defines a bottom well within which the hose reel may be partially positioned so as to lower the center of gravity and afford the cart with enhanced stability and reduce tipping susceptibility.
