- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates generally to a structural support system for securing and suspending medical equipment or telecommunications equipment, and more particularly, to a modular and adjustable structural support system that is secured to and suspends from a ceiling for supporting medical or telecommunications equipment and allows the flexibility of changing and, or adjusting equipment without having to remove and re-build the structural support and, or individual installations of booms and the like.
- 2. Description of the Background Art
- Structural support grid systems employing steel girders, beams and connectors are known for supporting heavy medical equipment, such as x-ray machines, monitors, microscopes surgical lighting, gas columns, injector systems, corresponding booms and the like. Similar grid systems are also used for telecommunication equipment. These systems are typically secured to concrete or steel structures. Conventional structural support grid systems comprise steel frames secured to and suspended from the ceiling. Medical or telecommunication equipment is typically bolted to the steel frame or otherwise secured directly to the steel frame. In fact, it is appreciated that structural support frames are designed for specific equipment and equipment placement. Accordingly, the structural support system normally must be completely removed and rebuilt when equipment is replaced or in need of adjustment or relocation. This can be extremely costly and time consuming. If there existed a modular and adjustable structural support system that facilitated adaptation to new equipment and, or adjusting or relocating equipment without having to be removed and rebuilt, it would result in substantial cost savings, minimal interruption of operations and be well received. Unfortunately, there are no such modular and adjustable structural support systems known that adequately or effectively address and resolve these problems. Accordingly, there exists a need for a structural support system to resolve this need. The instant invention addresses and fulfills this unfulfilled need in the prior art by providing a modular and adjustable structural support system as contemplated by the instant invention disclosed herein.
- In light of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide a modular structural support system for securely installing and suspending medical equipment above operating rooms.
- It is also an object of the present invention to provide an adjustable structural support system for securely installing and suspending medical equipment above operating rooms.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a modular and adjustable structural support system that allows and facilitates changing, adjusting and, or relocating medical equipment above operating moves without having to remove and rebuild the structural support system.
- It is also an object of the present invention to provide a modular and adjustable structural support system that allows and facilitates changing, adjusting and, or relocating medical equipment above operating moves without having to remove and rebuild individual booms in ICU rooms.
- It is an additional object of the present invention to provide a modular and adjustable structural support system that allows and facilitates a stronger system for power and data distribution.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide a modular and adjustable structural support system that allows and facilitates changing, adjusting and, or relocating telecommunication equipment above a telecommunications facility without having to remove and rebuild the structural support system.
- It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a modular and adjustable structural support system that allows and facilitates changing, adjusting and, or relocating suspended equipment without having to remove and rebuild the structural support system.
- It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide a modular and adjustable structural support system that allows and facilitates changing, adjusting and, or relocating suspended equipment in a manner that is cost effective.
- In light of these and other objects, the instant invention provides a modular and adjustable structural support system comprising a plurality of steel girders, girder connectors, steel installation connectors, concrete installation connectors and bracing connectors. These components of the instant invention are interconnected to form a grid. The system comprises multiple square modules or a single module for the installation of medical equipment, surgical lights and equipment booms. The steel modules are modular and adjustable. The steel girders are adjustable on the grid for accommodating the size of the equipment and for convenient relocation of equipment. The girders are movable and secured to the grid by the girder connectors. The grid is secured to a concrete structure with the concrete installation connectors and to a steel structure with the steel installation connectors. The bracing connectors provide diagonal bracing for girders and grid.
- In accordance with these and other objects, which will become apparent hereinafter, the instant invention will now be described with particular reference to the accompanying drawings.

- C. The MASS GRID range of vertical drops will vary from 42 inches minimum to 72 inches maximum spacing depending on the design criteria and MASS GRID size.
- D. Use two MIC-90-U corner connectors at every corner vertical drop. Each connector will make a 90° degree connection making a square pattern when all four corners are connected.
- E. Use MI-90 Girders the length of the MASS GRID side for all four corners. Cut MI-90 Girder as required per design size of MASS GRID.
- a. After installation of all four corners and girders, level all four sides and square MASS GRID.
- b. All four corner vertical drops will be a minimum 3½″ longer than the inner vertical drops to allow for adjustability and leveling of MASS GRID.
