Definitions

• the invention relates to an equipment cart. Such a trolley is used in particular in the hospital sector.
• a known device trolley of this type has a body with a base part and an upper part which usually carries drawers.
• the bottom part and the upper part are connected to one another by rods provided at the four corners or by side walls or by side walls and rear wall. Wheels are attached to the four corners under the base.
• the application possibility of the equipment trolley is determined by the preselected design of the corpus. For example, one or more drawers and an upper cover plate, which also serves as a worktop or storage plate for devices, are provided. A modification is not possible without disturbing the corpus.
• the production and storage is also complex because complete devices have to be manufactured and stored for every application.
• the object of the invention is to provide an equipment trolley which can be converted for a wide variety of applications, so that it can be used universally in use and that manufacture and storage can be simplified.
• Fig. 1 is a perspective side view of the basic structure of the equipment cart according to a first embodiment
• FIG. 2 shows a section along the line II-II in Fig. 1.
• Fig. 3 the equipment cart with drawers attached to it;
• the equipment trolley 1 has a plate-like base part 2 and profile rails 3, 4 supporting it laterally. At the respective outer ends of the profile rails 3, 4, two pairs of wheels 5, 6 are provided in the usual way. The pairs of wheels are mounted symmetrically, so that the geometric center 7 of the base part 2 is also the geometric center between the wheels and the center of gravity of the base part.
• a column 8 extending in the vertical direction is fixedly mounted on the base part.
• the column 8 is arranged so that its center of gravity is offset in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the profile rails from the center of gravity 7 to the rail 3, in the direction parallel to the profile rails on the center line of the base part 2.
• the column 8 is offset relatively close to the side edge of the base part 2.
• the column has a profile-like cross-section. This is formed by two mutually mirror-symmetrical side walls 9, 10 and a rear wall 11 connecting the two side walls and a front wall 12. 92/10158
• Each of the side walls 9, 10 has two T-shaped grooves 13, 14 which extend vertically and at a distance from one another and in each case close to the side edges parallel to these. All four grooves run parallel to one another and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the column 8.
• the side walls 9, 10 are formed in one piece with the rear wall in such a way that the three walls together have sufficient rigidity and load-bearing capacity for the devices to be accommodated.
• the side cheeks 9, 10 On its end facing away from the rear wall 11, the side cheeks 9, 10 have mutually facing and vertically extending slots 15, 16 which, like the T-slots, extend over the entire height of the column 8.
• the slots serve to receive and hold the front wall 12 inserted therein.
• the slots are dimensioned such that the front wall 12 can be inserted into the slots in a removable manner, but is seated so firmly that there is firm guidance.
• the front wall 12 carries plugs 17, 18 and switches 19 for supplying the devices to be attached to the column.
• the associated supply lines are surrounded by the channel-like cavity surrounded by the side walls 9, 10, the rear wall 11 and the front wall 12 20 led to the bottom part 2 and there provided further connection options.
• a table top 21 is screwed onto the top end face of the column. As can be seen from the figures, the latter is arranged in such a way that its geometric center is essentially above the center of gravity 7 of the base part.
• the accommodated devices are designed as drawers 22, 23.
• each drawer 22, 23 has a laterally extending pair of support rods 24, 25, which are at a distance from one another which corresponds to the outer distance of the side walls 9, 10.
• Each of the support rods has a pair of bores, the distance from the associated drawer and from one another corresponds to the distance between the T-slots 13, 14 from the rear wall 11 and the distance from one another.
• a handle 28 is provided on the side cheek 9, which is fastened in a corresponding manner in the associated T-groove and serves as a handle for the equipment cart.
• the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 differs from the previous embodiment in that the column 8 does not offset laterally relative to the center of gravity 7 to one of the rails 3, 4, but parallel to the latter at the edge 29 of the base part 2 is and the column is rotated by 90 °, so that here as seen from the center of gravity 7, the two side cheeks 9 and 10 form the side surfaces with the T-shaped grooves.
• the handle 28 has the holding rods 25 corresponding holding rods 30, via which the handle is fastened with the aid of suitable screws and nuts 26, 27 in the T-slots and thus on the column 8. Otherwise the floor, chassis, design of the column 8 and in particular its profile and other parts correspond in all details to the first exemplary embodiment, so that reference is made to the corresponding description. O 92/10158
• a tray 31 is attached instead of the drawers 22, 23.
• the table top 21 as well as the corresponding support rods 24, 25 and the T-slots can be attached to the side of the column 8, the attachment taking place in such a way that the center of gravity of the part to be attached is on the the side of the column 8 facing the center of gravity 7.
• all devices are offset from the laterally offset center of gravity of the column 8 to the center of gravity 7 of the base plate 2, so that a great stability of the trolley with the devices arranged thereon is achieved.
