Abstract:

A single-piece side-loading box includes a top, a bottom, a plurality of wall portions, and a side-opening panel in one unitary piece. The unitary piece is foldable from an unformed configuration to a box configuration with the side-opening panel openable in the box configuration to permit access to an interior of the box. The plurality of wall panels are connected between the top and the bottom in the box configuration. At least some of the wall panels in the box configuration overlap to form one or more multi-panel walls. The box includes a releasable fastening mechanism for fastening the side-opening panel in the closed position. The releasable fastening mechanism may be part of the unitary piece. The releasable fastening mechanism may include mechanical couplers, latching tabs, magnetic members, Velcro strips, or the like. The side-opening panel may be transparent or include a transparent portion attached to an opaque frame.

International Classification:

A61B 1900

US Classification:

128 1R

Abstract:

A patient isolation room having walls surrounding a relatively smaller patient locus, with continuous air flow loop including an air inlet and outlet relatively sized and oppositely arranged to encompass the patient locus on every side with a horizontal, unidirectional, laminar air stream of uniform velocity throughout its cross-section to maintain patient isolation from room air beyond said locus, the loop conducting depurified air beyond the room for recirculation and repurification.

Appl. No.:

5/593023

Inventors:

Robert E. Foreman - Santa Ana CA
Casimir S. Strozewski - Santa Ana CA

Assignee:

Sterilaire Medical, Inc. - Santa Ana CA

International Classification:

B01D 4600
F24F 900

US Classification:

98 36

Abstract:

An air circulating console is disclosed which produces an ultra clean area suitable for performing surgical operations by first removing bacteria from the air and then forcing this ultra clean air at low velocity and in laminar fashion horizontally from the console to engulf an operation table, surgical team and associated equipment. The effective zone of ultra clean air is projected over a large area with the assistance of a pair of vertical high velocity air curtains emitted at an angle toward the ultra clean air from a pair of air curtain plenums which protrude from the console on opposite sides thereof. Air is returned to the console via a pair of intake ducts positioned on opposite sides thereof, rearward and outboard of the air curtain plenums. The air flow pattern generated by the console in a closed room exhibits a lifting effect which discourages the settling of bacteria.

International Classification:

A62B 702

US Classification:

1281427

Abstract:

Wearable, self-contained and fully mobile personal breathing apparatus adapted to be worn by a surgeon or other operating room personnel is provided. The apparatus controls contamination of operating room spaces generated by the air normally expired by the wearer during surgery. The apparatus comprises a vest, a high efficiency particulate air filter secured to said vest, and conduit means for capturing and directing contaminated exhaled air from the wearer through the upstream side of said filter and a blower connected to the downstream side of said filter for inducing air flow in the conduit means and through the filter for decontamination and return to the operating room space.

Assignee:

R.R. Foreman and Company - Stockton CA

International Classification:

B65D 542

US Classification:

229122

Abstract:

A single-piece side-loading box having triple side-wall construction and a unique latching tab. The box incorporates walls, a floor, a top, a side-opening panel and latching tab in one unitary piece. The one piece box generally includes a bottom panel, front, side and back panels attached to the bottom panel and a lid attached to the back panel. A latching tab with integral handle is incorporated into the front panel. The box is preferably assembled from a cutout made from a single piece of material. The side-walls, side wings and side reinforcements fold into each other to provide a triple-side-wall construction that allows the box to support a great weight.
