Definitions

  • This invention relates to a novel form of handle or grip for use in manipulating the overhead lamp in an operating room.
  • a lamp which is so mounted above the operating table that it can be manipulated to heights and positions desired.
  • a handle or grip by means of which the surgeon or others on the team can move the lamp to the desired position, the lamp being mounted so as to be moveable to any needed position, to permit vertical and lateral adjustment and to retain the lamp in any desired position until it is moved, by the handle, to another position.
  • the handle is a re-usable metal part of the lamp but such requires sterilization of the handle before each operation is commenced.
  • a disposable plastic handle is also in use which has a threaded upper portion which can be screwed into a socket on the lamp structure, or into an adaptor which is secured to the lamp structure. Below the threaded portion is a handle which is gripped by hand. As an added precaution the handle is formed with a disc just beneath the threaded upper end which serves as a guard to prevent the gloved hand of the person manipulating the lamp from coming into contact with non-sterile parts of the lamp structure. The handle per se extends downward from the disc.
  • This structure is more advantageous than a metal re-usable handle because it can be packaged in sterile condition, removed from the sterile package at the time of use and then discarded. Nevertheless this form of detachable/attachable handle has the disadvantage that it is bulky and inconvenient to package, to ship and to store.
  • FIG. 1 is a view in elevation of the handle element of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a top view as seen along the line 2-2 of FIG. l;
  • FIG. 3 is a top view of a detachable, attachable disc for use with the handle of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is a view of the disc as seen along the line 4-4 of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 5 is a view in elevation of the complete handle including the handle portion of FIG. 1 and the disc of FIG. 3 shown mounted on the handle portion;
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 are, respectively, a top plan view and an end view of two handles shown with detached discs illustrating the packaging advantages of the invention.
  • the handle (without the protective disc) is indicated generally at 10. It is preferably molded in one piece from a suitable plastic material. It has a tubular body or grip 11 having preferably a textured interior 12, a flat hexagonal base 13, a hexagonal lip 14 and a threaded upper end 15 which can be screwed into a socket (not shown) which is either a part of the lamp (also not shown) or into an adapter (not shown) attached to a lamp fixture.
  • the body 11 is formed about midway between base 13 and lip 14 with an annular groove 16, or alternatively with a pair of indentations.
  • a disc 17 is provided made, for example, of the same plastic material as the handle 10 and having a central opening 18. Surrounding the opening 18 and projecting above and below the body of the disc is an inner rim 19. An outer rim 20 projects above and below the disc. Notches 21 are provided at opposite ends of a diameter of the disc.
  • the complete assembly indicated as 10A, has the disc 17 mounted on the lip 14, the hole 18 being such that the disc fits snugly over the threaded portion 15, the fit being such that the disc is stable but not difficult to place it in and to remove it from the position shown in FIG. 5.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 a pair of the handles 10 and discs 17 are packaged as shown.
  • the handles 10 are laid alongside one another but slightly offset so that the bases 13 and lips 14 nest as shown.
  • One of the discs 17 is laid on top and the other disc 17 lies beneath the handles 10, as shown.
  • a rubber band 26 is stretched around the handles 10 and secured in the grooves 16 thus locking the two handles together.
  • another rubber band 27 is passed around the package and is secured in place by the notches 21 in the discs.
  • handles 10 and their discs 17 are neatly and conveniently packaged together.
  • the discs add little to the volume and the assembly can, after sterilization, be enclosed in a sterile plastic bag (not shown) .
  • a sterile plastic bag not shown
  • one or both handles 10 and discs 17 may be removed, using sterile gloves. assembled as shown in FIG. 5 and screwed into a socket on the lamp, meanwhile observing sterility procedures.
  • the hexagon shape at the base 13 and lip 14 are preferred because, when lying flat, the handles 10 do not roll.
  • the handle 10 will be such that it can be grasped conveniently by hand and manipulated.-
  • the disc 17 will have a diameter such that it will effectively prevent the manipulating hand or fingers from touching non-sterile hardware above. Typical dimensions are:
