Integrated storage system with locking containers

A container system includes a plurality of containers, a plurality of container receiving regions, a plurality of base unit latches, and a base unit. Each base unit latch is arranged to latch an associated one of the containers at least partially within an associated one of the container receiving regions. The containers may be transported separately from the base unit, and may be used to store tools and other accessories. In one embodiment of the container system, each base unit latch comprises a resilient latch member connected to the base unit. The resilient latch member is biased into a lock position to engage a lock engagement portion on an associated one of the containers. The resilient latch member may be movable against the bias to a release position wherein the associated container is able to be removed from the associated container receiving region.

Hidden electric power elevating stand structure

An improved hidden electric power elevating stand structure includes upper and lower symmetric frame bodies, and upper and lower braking rods crossed with each other for fixing the upper and lower frame bodies on their lateral sides longitudinally, a transversal rod disposed at the bottom of the lower braking rod, a bearing installed separately on both sides of the transversal rod, such that the bearing is connected to a sliding track on both sides of the lower frame body, an electric power screw rod connects one of the transversal rods of the lower braking rod to the intersection of the upper braking rod, so that the extension and withdrawal of the screw rod change the intersecting angle of the braking rods and adjust the elevation of the frame bodies for placing an audio / video equipment such as a projector or a speaker. Symmetric microswitches are installed on the internal side of the track at the lower frame body to define the limit position for displacement and an elevator is installed on a detachable fixing stand to facilitate the construction and adjust the angle of elevation and the level of the stand.

Variable height support

A variable height support with a platform and a base supporting the platform and reconfigurable to selectively change a height of a support surface on the platform relative to a subjacent surface. A control assembly is operable to selectively: a) maintain the support surface at a selected height; and b) release the platform to allow the base to be reconfigured to change the height of the support surface. The control assembly has a ratchet subassembly that, with the control assembly in a first state, allows the base to be reconfigured by exerting a continuous upward force upon the platform that causes the platform to elevate and be blocked within a range at a plurality of different vertical locations against downward movement. The control assembly further has an actuator that is repositionable to change the control assembly into a second state wherein the platform can be lowered over the range.

Ergonomic Filmless Radiology Work Station with Keyboard Sanitizer

An ergonomic radiology work station has front and back tables or work platforms that can be raised or lowered electrically to adjust for optimum posture and comfort of the user. Video monitors on the rear platform displays medical images. Interface equipment, e.g., keyboard and mouse, are situated on the front work platform. A pull-out sanitizer hood irradiates the keyboard and other interface devices with ultraviolet radiation after a radiology work session. An interlock arrangement ensures that the work platforms cannot be moved up or down when the hood is pulled out, and ensures that UV lamps in the hood are disabled when the hood is pushed back in to its home or withdrawn position. The hood with slide(s) and interlock(s) may be provided as a kit to retrofit an existing work station.
