Abstract
A medical apparatus that includes an apparatus body that has a surface with an opening and a cover coupled to the apparatus body about an axis of rotation angled to the surface. The cover is operable to rotate about the axis of rotation to move between a first position wherein the cover closes the opening and a second position wherein the cover is moved to allow access to the opening.
Claims20
A medical apparatus comprising:
- an apparatus body having an apparatus body wall with an exterior surface and a recess in said apparatus body wall, and said recess including an opening;
- and
- a cover pivotally coupled to said apparatus body wall by a member about a tiltable axis of rotation, said member received in said opening and being operable to rotate said cover about said axis of rotation to move between a first position wherein said cover closes said opening and a second position wherein said cover tilts and rotates relative to said apparatus body and moves at least partially out of said opening to allow access to said opening, said cover having an exterior surface that faces outwardly from said apparatus body and is flush with said exterior surface of said apparatus body when said cover is moved to said first position, said apparatus body including attachment point below said cover and accessible through said opening, and said attachment point for receiving an attachment device to attach said apparatus body to a mounting surface.
A medical apparatus comprising:
- an apparatus body having an apparatus body wall with a recess, said apparatus body wall having an exterior surface, said recess having an opening formed therein, and said recess having a recess diameter;
- a cover being mounted to said apparatus body relative said recess and having an outer perimeter, and said outer perimeter defining a cover diameter generally equal to said recess diameter of said recess;
- a member configured to pivotally couple said cover to said apparatus body about an axis of rotation inward of said outer perimeter of said cover and operable to allow said cover to move between a closed first position to close said opening and an open second position to allow access to said opening, said cover having an exterior surface facing outwardly from said apparatus body and being flush with said exterior surface of said apparatus body when said cover is moved to said closed first position, and said member being configured to tilt said cover when said cover pivots between said closed first position and said open second position;
- and
- wherein said apparatus body includes an attachment point below said cover and accessible through said opening, and said attachment point for receiving an attachment device to attach said apparatus body to a mounting surface.
