Abstract
(EN)
A medical suspension system (10) includes a ceiling plate (30) configured for mounting to a support structure (16). The ceiling plate supports a device (12), such as a lighthead or video monitor, which is mounted to the ceiling plate via an articulated arm (50) and a spindle (40), which is centrally mounted to the ceiling plate. A second device (14) is mounted to the ceiling plate, not through the spindle (40), in the conventional manner, but via an adapter plate (62), which is mounted directly to the ceiling plate. This increases the number of devices which are readily carried by the support structure without extending the spindle length which conventionally occurs when additional hubs are added to the main spindle.

(FR)
Cette invention concerne un système de suspension médicale (10)comprenant une plaque de plafond (30) se montant sur une structure porteuse (16). Cette plaque de plafond soutient un dispositif (12), tel qu'un scialytique ou un écran vidéo, qui est monté sur la plaque de plafond via un bras articulé (50) et un axe (40), lequel part du centre de la plaque de plafond. Un second dispositif (14) est monté sur la plaque de plafond non pas classiquement au travers de l'axe (40), mais par l'intermédiaire d'une plaque raccord (62) qui est fixée directement sur la plaque de plafond. Cette configuration permet d'augmenter le nombre de dispositifs que la plaque porteuse peut supporter facilement sans augmentation de la longueur de l'axe, contrairement à ce qui se produit normalement lorsque des moyeux supplémentaires sont ajoutés à l'axe principal.
