  • Sleeve 31 is hingedly-connected to cross-arm end 15 by a pair of axially aligned short hinge pins 37a and 37b that are received in a pair of mutually opposed ears 39a and 39b extending from the opposite end of sleeve 31.
  • An axial bore 41 is formed in cross-arm end 15 and spans the distance between hinge pins 37a and 37b and is of a size and shape adapted to receive hanger arm first end 21 therein.
  • a coil spring 43 is disposed over hanger arm 19 and compressed between inwardly tapered end or stop 33 and a second stop or collar 45 affixed to hanger arm 19 and secured thereto by a snap ring 47 mounted in a groove 49 for ed circumferentially thereabout.
  • hanger arm 19 and hanger arm first end 21 urges hanger arm 19 and hanger arm first end 21 into receipt within bore 41 to lock cross-arm 13 and hanger arm 19 in axial alignment. Penetration of hanger arm first end 21 into bore 41 is limited by snap ring 45 coming into abutment with cross-arm end 15 (see Figure 4). As shown in Figure 5, hanger arm 19 may be unlocked from axial alignment with cross-arm 13 by pulling outward on hanger arm 19 to overcome the compression bias of coil spring 43 and withdraw hanger arm first end 21 from bore 41. Thereafter, hanger arm 19 and sleeve 31 may be rotated through an angle such as 90 degrees to place them parallel to pole 5 for storage and transfer purposes.

Abstract

Un assemblage de suspension (1) d'un matériel médical ou autre possède des bras pivotants (19) se verrouillant dans une position opérative et se déverrouillant pour pouvoir être déplacés vers une position de rangement. Pour améliorer le caractère portatif de l'assemblage, la connexion entre l'assemblage et le montant de support (5) peut aisément être fixée et détachée. L'assemblage de suspension (1) est verrouillée dans une position opérative au moyen d'une liaison sollicitée entre un bras suspenseur (19) et un bras transversal (13). Ledit verrouillage permettant de mettre l'assemblage de suspension dans une position de stockage peut s'effectuer aisément en appliquant une force à l'encontre de la force de sollicitation pour libérer les bras de la liaison d'accouplement, puis en faisant tourner les bras (19) autour du point de pivot. La suspension d'un matériel médical ou autre est assurée par des moyens disposés sur le bras suspenseur.
