Problems solved by technology

[0007] The problem with restricting the movement of the cable axis-by-axis is that the cable must be quite long because the length of cable necessary to manipulate the rotation in each axis is increased
As a result, changes in the deflection of the wave washer caused by dimensional changes in the wave washer and its mating parts cause large changes in the spring force

Embodiment Construction

[0019] Such as figure 1 As shown, the disclosed control display positioning system 10 is used to support and position a control display 90 for a medical / surgical system 100, such as an ophthalmic surgery system. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the disclosed system 10 may also be used with other types of medical / surgical equipment.

[0020] An important feature of the disclosed system 10 is the electrical cables 110 housed within the control display positioning system 10 , which carry electrical power and signals to the electronic components housed within the control display 90 . Another feature of the disclosed control display positioning system 10 is that friction within the hinges 20, 30, 50, 70 maintains the control display 90 in any selected position. The healthcare professional simply repositions the control display 90 by applying sufficient force to overcome the friction within the hinges 20, 30, 50, 70. The result is that the disclosed control display po...

Abstract

A control display positioning system includes three vertically oriented hinges and a horizontally oriented hinge attached to the back of the control display. Two arms are used to connect the three vertically oriented hinges one to another. In each vertically oriented hinge is a central space for the passage of electrical cables therethrough. Also in each vertically oriented hinge is a washer stack that provides the necessary friction forces for the control display positioning system to remain in a selected position after being repositioned by a user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to positioning systems for control displays; more particularly, the present invention relates to control display positioning systems for use with medical / surgical equipment. Background technique [0002] Prior art medical / surgical systems with control displays, such as ophthalmic surgery systems, provide limited access to control displays, touch screens, and graphical user interfaces (GUIs). In some medical / surgical systems, the control display is permanently affixed to the front panel of the machine such that it cannot be moved. In other medical / surgical systems, the control display is mounted on a yoke-type device so that the control display can be rotated from side to side about a vertical axis and can also be tilted about a horizontal axis. However, even though because the display is centered on and mounted to the medical / surgical system, access to the control display by the health care professional is still limited f...
