  • 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).

  • Patent number: 7597298
    Abstract: A carrying device for medical devices provides simple adjustment operation. The carrying device has a height-adjustable bracket (1) designed in the form of a parallelogram cranking mechanism with a self-locking pneumatic spring (13). A supply unit (21) for medical devices is arranged at one end of the bracket (1). A handle (22) with an electric release element (23) is arranged at the supply unit (21). A valve, which releases the blocking function, is opened within the pneumatic spring (13) during the actuation of the release element (23).
