METHOD OF PREPARING A HOSPITAL ROOM OR THE LIKE

摘要

Method of mounting equipment in a hospital room or the like. The room is first prepared by building workers, so that the room is completely finished with respect to painting, floor-laying etc., and so that gas ducts and electric wiring open at one single location in the room in a terminal box (2). A supporting profile (3) for electric and gas modules is then mounted on the wall, for example along a short side of the room, whereupon one or more supporting rails (7, 8, 9) are mounted horizontally on the wall spaced by predetermined distances from each other. Thereafter, the eletric and gas modules are connected to said gas ducts and electric wiring and remaining equipment is mounted and suspended on the supporting rails. Upon subsequent redispositions the room is changed by unhooking the equipment and mounting new equipment on the supporting rails. The room may be equipped as a treatment room, wherein a cabinet (6) is suspended in the corner of the room comprising the terminal box (2), so that the cabinet covers the connections. The room may be equipped as a heart infarct room, wherein an extra gas panel (15) is mounted on the supporting rails and connected to the gas module. Finally, the room may be equipped as an intensive care room, wherein a TV monitor (17), an examination lamp (16), a lockable cabinet (28), and an undercupboard (22) with a working surface are mounted on said supporting rails. To obtain greatest possible strength the supporting profile (3) for the electric and gas modules and the supporting rail (7) located under these modules are mounted hitched to each other in order to distribute the load on a surface as large as possible of the wall. The equipment is mounted on a supporting frame (14) comprising engagement means, which are hitched on said supporting rail. The supporting frame comprises upper and lower engagement means, the lower engagement means being pivotable. The supporting frame is first hitched with the upper engagement means engaging an upper rail, whereupon the supporting frame is pivoted towards the wall, so that the lower engagement means engages a lower rail and latches the frame in position.
