  • a mounting system comprising several upright girders supported by the floor and several horizontal girders connecting the upright girders to provide a self-supporting girder system.
  • the horizontal girders provides support for equipment to be mounted to the room and the upright or vertical girders provide limitations, such as delimitations of rooms, as well as also serving the purpose as supportive elements for the room.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a mounting system according to the present invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view similar to Fig. 1 disclosing further equipment attached to the mounting system.
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view similar to Fig. 1 disclosing further modes of functions of the present mounting system.
  • Fig. 4 is a perspective view similar to Fig. 1 and shows the connection of gas and electricity conduits.
  • Fig. 5 is a perspective view similar to Fig. 1 and shows another connected equipment.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the mounting system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • the building of a hospital starts with the erection of a house including foundation, walls and ceiling.
  • the house is built with large rooms, the size and dimensions of which are only dictated by the construction constraints.
  • the house is made ready by the building workers.
  • the house is rebuilt into a hospital by using the mounting system according to the present invention.
  • the mounting system is based on the use of standardised girders of a sufficient strength to provide a supporting system for the necessary equipment.
  • Such girders are mounted as upright girders 1, 2. 3... close to the walls of the room.
  • Other upright or vertical girders 4. 5... are mounted at a distance from the first-mentioned girders 1, 2, 3.
  • the system of vertical girders are interconnected at their upper ends by several horizontal girders 6, 7, 8....
  • horizontal smaller girders 9, 10 interconnects the first-mentioned horizontal girders.
  • All the girders form a three-dimensional girder system as shown in Fig. 1.
  • This girder system is self-supporting and can be mounted anywhere in the room. either close to a wall as described above, or completely stand-alone.
  • This girder system is the basis for mounting hospital equipment.
  • Fig. 1 a wall panel 11 mounted between and supported by the upright girders 1, 2, 3.
  • the wall panel supports several horizontal rails 12, whereby five such rails are shown in Fig. 1.
  • the rails can be used for supporting cabinets 13 as shown in Fig. 1 or can serve other purposes as described in more details below.
  • Each upright or vertical girder is provided with, at the lower end thereof, an adjustment foot 14, by means of which the height of the upper end of the relevant girder can be adjusted.
  • adjustment feet 14 it is possible to adjust the upright girders so that the horizontal girders will be just horizontal, independently of possible irregularities on the floor of the room.
  • Such an adjustment foot 14 may comprise outer screw windings co-operating with inner screw windings in a nut portions in the lower end of the girder.
  • Other adjustment mechanisms can also be used, such as keying constructions.
  • the smaller horizontal girders can be provided with lamps 15. Moreover, the upright girders can be provided with electric outlets for mains current 16 or signal voltage connections.
  • the girder system is interconnected by conventional means, for example screw connection means 17.
  • Each girders is provided with a longitudinal groove intended for attachment of a mounting clamp.
  • Such groove is not shown in details in the drawings.
  • the groove can provide a means for attaching equipment at different heights along the upright girder, such attachment also being adjustable in height.
  • Fig. 2 shows the same mounting system as Fig. 1, but complemented with a first moveable pillar 18 attached to the horizontal girder 6.
  • the moveable pillar 18 comprises a first horizontal portion 19 rotatably connected to the girder 6 to be pivotable around a vertical axis 20.
  • a second horizontal portion 21 is rotatably connected to the first portion 19 to be pivotable around a second vertical axis 22.
  • a vertical pillar 23 is rotatably connected to the second portion 21 to be pivotable around a third vertical axis 24.
  • the construction enables the pillar to be moved into close proximity to the patient being placed in a bed 25.
  • the pillar can also be moved to a position away from the bed where it leaves the room free for the patient when the service of the pillar is not needed.
  • the pillar can include gas connections and electric supplies and signal connectors for the patients need and comfort.
  • FIG. 1 To the right of the bed 25 there is shown another moveable unit 26 similar to the moveable pillar 18.
  • the pillar is replaced by a frame construction comprising two vertical pillars 27, 28 interconnected by two horizontal girders 29, 30. Between the pillars 27, 28 there can be mounted equipment needed at the bed side, such as monitors, suction units, heart monitoring equipment etc.
  • Fig. 3 shows another disposition of the mounting system according to the present invention.
  • the bed 25 in Fig. 2 has been replaced by an adjustable chair 31 which is moveable on wheels 32.
  • the moveable unit 26 is provided with a monitor 32 and several gas panels 33.
  • the horizontal girder 7 is provided with a curtain delimiting the room from an adjacent room as clearly appears from Fig. 3. Moreover, the horizontal girder 7 is provided with an indication lamp 35 controlled by a switch 36 at the adjacent upright girder 5.
  • the lamp 35 can indicate that the room is occupied by showing a red light or can be used for indicating an alarm condition by emitting a blinking light.
  • the lamps 15 at the smaller horizontal girders 9, 10 are controlled by a switch 37 at the adjacent upright girder 4, via electric wires 38.
  • Fig. 4 there is shown how the girders are provided with electric current and gas.
  • a longitudinal rail 39 for example connected to the wall of the building, or supported by the ends of the upright girders.
  • the rail comprises electric mains supply and connections for signal voltages.
  • the rail is provided with necessary gas pipes, such as oxygen gas, nitrogen gas and air supply.
  • gas pipes are connected to the interior of the girders via flexible hoses 40 and connected to outlets in the upright girders.
  • the gas supplies is connected directly to respective equipment in for example a moveable unit 26.
  • the electric supplies are connected via wires 41 to connectors at the uprights or at other suitable locations. Consequently, the gas supplies and electric supplies are well hidden inside the girders.
  • the connections are placed in a position where they cannot easily be tampered.
  • Fig. 5 shows the attachment of a patient lift equipment 42 to the horizontal girder system according to the present invention.
  • the patient lift 42 is connected to a protruding portion 43 of the horizontal girder 6. Thence, the patient lift 42 can be used in two rooms of the hospital only by rotating the patient lift over 270 degrees.
