Screen suspension rod, e.g. for hospital use, has articulated joint with covering sleeve to lock it in extended position

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The suspension rod for a screen, comprising a wall fixing (2), a connector (3) and the rod (4), has an articulated joint (5) between the connector and rod, with a covering sleeve (8) to lock the joint in its extended position. The sleeve has an inner spring that holds it in the closed position and requires an effort of between 8 and 16 N to expose the articulated joint. It also has a rounded edge (14) that allows it to close when the the connector and rod are slightly misaligned. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Suspending a screen used to provide privacy e.g. in a hospital or other situation. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The suspension rod is easily folded away to occupy a minimum of space when not in use. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a perspective view of the deployed rod. 2 : Wall fixing 3 : Connector 4 : Rod 5 : Articulated joint 8 : Sleeve 14 : Rounded edge.
