Radial arm system for patient care equipment

A patient care equipment support system comprising

• a generally vertically disposed support structure,
• a first arm mounted to the support structure for pivotable movement in a first generally horizontal plane, the first arm carrying a first patient care equipment column,
• a second arm mounted to the support structure for pivotable movement in a second generally horizontal plane, the second arm carrying a second patient care equipment column, and
• a console having a space configured to receive the first and second arms when the first and second arms are in a storage position.

A patient care equipment support system comprising

• a generally vertically disposed support structure,
• a telescopic arm mounted to the support structure for pivotable movement in a horizontal plane, the telescopic arm having a tubular first portion coupled to the support structure and a tubular second portion that is extendable and retractable relative to the tubular first portion, a part of the tubular second portion which is received in the tubular first portion being surrounded by the tubular first portion,
• a second arm pivotably attached to the tubular second portion of the telescopic arm, and
• a patient care column coupled to the second arm and having at least one service outlet thereon, each of the tubular first portion, the tubular second portion, and the second arm having passageways through which at least one service line is routeable for connection to the at least one service outlet.

A patient care equipment support system for use in a room having a ceiling and a floor, the patient care equipment support system comprising

• a generally vertically disposed support structure extending from the floor to the ceiling of the room,
• a first arm mounted to the support structure for pivotable movement about a pivot axis in a first generally horizontal plane, the first arm having a pivotable mount end and a distal end,
• a second arm mounted to the support structure for pivotable movement about the pivot axis in a second generally horizontal plane, the second arm having a pivotable mount end and a distal end,
• a first service head mounted to the distal end of the first arm and having at least one first service outlet thereon, and
• a second service head mounted to the distal end of the second arm and having at least one second service outlet thereon, the first and second arms and the first and second service heads being adapted to have service lines routed therethrough, and the at least one first service outlet and the at least one second service outlet being couplable to the service lines.

A patient care equipment support system for use in a hospital room having a floor and a ceiling, the patient care equipment support system comprising

• a support structure extending from the floor to the ceiling of the room,
• a telescopic arm mounted to the support structure for pivotable movement in a horizontal plane,
• a patient care column supported by the telescopic arm,
• an electrical conduit having portions disposed in the telescopic arm and disposed in the patient care column, and
• a first flexible carrier disposed in the telescopic arm to guide movement of the portion of the electrical conduit disposed in the telescopic arm as the telescopic arm extends and retracts.
