- TITLE INTEGRATED FOLDING BEDRAIL MOUNT AND HANDLE FOR A PATIENT MONITOR
- the present invention relates generally to a handle for a patient monitor. More specifically, the invention relates to a folding handle for a patient monitor having an integral bedrail mount.
- Portable monitors have been developed to move with the patient within a hospital setting.
- Portable monitors such as the Passport 2® monitor, manufactured by Datascope Corp.
- a typical hospital bed has a generally rectangular tubular metal frame construction with supports for a mattress and with a wheeled undercarriage.
- the mattress frame is typically supported on the wheeled undercarriage by an arrangement of collapsible legs so that the bed can be collapsed together for carriage in an ambulance.
- the bed may be supplied with various additional members, for example side rails.
- a typical hospital bed is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,435,027, issued on July 25, 1995 to Bourgraf et al . , herein incorporated by reference.
- Bed switching requires the transfer to the destination bed of any medical monitoring equipment connected to the first bed.
- medical monitors are typically either mounted on a rolling stand or are hooked onto a side rail via a bracket projecting from a rear surface of the monitor.
- bracket projecting from a rear surface of the monitor.
- the monitor must be lifted off the existing bed and connected to the transfer bed. The monitor is also removed from a patient's bed when there is a need to use the monitor for another patient.
- U.S. Patent No. 6,247,674 assigned to Datascope Investment Corp. discloses a unique foldable monitor bedrail which effectively address the above described concerns.
- the bedrail mount disclosed comprises a pair of U-shaped brackets pivotally connected on one end to a surface of a patient monitor and pivotally connected on the opposite end to a connecting rod.
- the U-shaped brackets pivot relative to the monitor and connecting rod between an open position, in which the monitor may be mounted on a bed rail, and a folded position, in which the mount assembly lies compactly against the rear surface of the monitor.
- One potential problem with the above described folding bedrail mount is its complexity and cost.
- the invention is an integrated folding be ⁇ rail mount and handle for a patient monitor.
- the handle comprising two pivoting support members connected by a cross handle member, is pivotally connected to an upper surface of the monitor.
- the handle pivots between an open position and a closed position in which at least a portion of the handle folds into a recess in the upper surface of the monitor.
- the two pivoting support members of the handle each have an integrated hook which together serve as bedrail mount when the handle is in the open position.
- FIG 1 is a rear perspective view of a patient monitor having . the folding bedrail mount of the present invention in an open/unfolded position.
- FIG 2 is a rear perspective view of the patient monitor having the folding bedrail mount in a closed/folded position.
- FIG 3 is an exploded assembly view of the folding bedrail mount assembly.
- FIG 4 is rear perspective view of the patient monitor with the bedrail mount mounted to a bedrail.
- FIG 1 illustrates a rear perspective view of a patient monitor 10 having a handle 12, a rear surface 14, an upper surface 16, and a display surface 18.
- Handle 12 comprises a pair of pivoting support members 20 interconnected by a handle cross member 22.
- Handle 12 is pivotally connected by a pair of pins 24 to patient monitor 10, as best seen in the exploded view of FIG. 3.
- One pin 24 passes through a lumen 26 in each pivoting support member 20 and snap into holes or grooves 28. Pins 24 are held in place through a press-fit, or some other common method known in the art for securing a pivot pin.
- FIG. 1 illustrates patient monitor 10 with handle 12 in an open position.
- monitor 10 can be easily mounted on or removed from a railing 30 on a hospital bed or gurney, see FIG. 4, via hook portions 34 of each support member 20.
- hook portions 34 may have the shape of a traditional hook or any other shape appropriate for hanging purposes, such as a C, U, or bracket shape.
- hook portions 34 are illustrated as integrally formed with support members 20 it is anticipated to connect a bracket element to straight or other shaped handle support member via a bolt, adhesive, or other known fastening or bonding means.
- the bracket element may have the shape of a traditional hook or any other shape appropriate for hanging purposes, such as a C, U, or bracket shape. In which case, recess 32 will have to be adapted to assure an unobtrusive handle in the closed position.
- FIG. 2 illustrates patient monitor 10 with handle 12 in a closed position.
- handle 12 In the closed position, after having been pivoted about pins 24, handle 12 is folded into a recess 32 in upper surface 16 and rear surface 14 of monitor 10.
- Recess 32 allows handle 12 to fold away unobtrusively.
- Recess 32 as illustrated in ⁇ FIGS 1-4, is formed in both upper surrace 16 and rear surface 14; however, if handle 12 is sized smaller a recess in the upper surface may only be necessary.
