Surgical Light Apparatus With Improved Cooling

View page
US Patent:
6443596, Sep 3, 2002
Filed:
Mar 30, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/050529
Inventors:
John M. Bulko - Apex NC
Gerald L. Yeaney - Raleigh NC
Michael A. Taft - Raleigh NC
Assignee:
Hill-Rom Services, Inc. - Batesville IN
International Classification:
F21V 900
US Classification:
362293, 362 33, 362804
Abstract:
A surgical light apparatus is disclosed having a first light source generating visible light and heat energy radiation, an enclosure surrounding the first light source and including a lens substantially transparent to visible light and a reflector for reflecting light from the first light source through the lens, and a filter apparatus coupled to the enclosure and formed at least in part from a material that is substantially transparent to at least a portion of visible light radiation and that substantially blocks transmission of heat energy radiation The filter apparatus is configured to block transmission of heat energy radiation from the first light source to the reflector and to intercept substantially all radiation from the first light source that otherwise would pass to the reflector and through the lens. The filter apparatus includes a plurality of filter elements configured to define at least one gap between two adjacent filter elements allowing air flow therethrough.

US Patent:
60128216, Jan 11, 2000
Filed:
Mar 30, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/050530
Inventors:
Gerald L. Yeaney - Raleigh NC
John M. Bulko - Apex NC
Frank L. Martyna - Oil City PA
Thomas M. Peterson - Erie PA
Michael A. Taft - Raleigh NC
Assignee:
Hill-Rom, Inc. - Batesville IN
International Classification:
A61G 1300
F21V 2126
US Classification:
362 33
Abstract:
An arm assembly for supporting a surgical lighthead of a surgical light apparatus includes a first arm and a first clevis appended to the first arm and having a first stop surface and a second stop surface. The arm assembly also includes a second arm formed to include an interior region and a second clevis appended to the second arm and having a third stop surface and a fourth stop surface. The surigcal lighthead is supported by the second arm. The second arm and second clevis are pivotable about a main pivot axis relative to the first arm and first clevis between a first position in which the third stop surface engages the first stop surface to limit pivoting movement of the second clevis and second arm in a first direction and a second position in which the fourth stop surface engages the second stop surface to limit pivoting movement of the second clevis and second arm in a second direction.
