Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
72 words
A stand particularly suitable for use in stabilizing a drainage receptacle designed and configured to receive and collect fluids from a patient comprising a pedestal with means for nondetachable coupling to a box of said receptacle and adapted for deployment in a position for stabilizing said receptacle against upset, and means of unitary structure formed in a surface of said pedestal for positively mechanically locking said pedestal at said receptacle stabilizing position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
72 words
A stand particularly suitable for use in stabilizing a drainage receptacle designed and configured to receive and collect fluids from a patient comprising a pedestal with means for nondetachable coupling to a box of said receptacle and adapted for deployment in a position for stabilizing said receptacle against upset, and means of unitary structure formed in a surface of said pedestal for positively mechanically locking said pedestal at said receptacle stabilizing position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
83 words
A stand particularly suitable for use in stabilizing a drainage receptacle designed and configured to receive and collect fluids from a patient comprising a pedestal with means for rotatively coupling to said receptacle and adapted for movement between first and second positions, with said pedestal at said second position stabilizing said receptacle against upset, and means of unitary structure formed in a surface of said pedestal for positively mechanically locking said pedestal at said second position rendering said pedestal non-rotative between said positions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
83 words
A stand particularly suitable for use in stabilizing a drainage receptacle designed and configured to receive and collect fluids from a patient comprising a pedestal with means for rotatively coupling to said receptacle and adapted for movement between first and second positions, with said pedestal at said second position stabilizing said receptacle against upset, and means of unitary structure formed in a surface of said pedestal for positively mechanically locking said pedestal at said second position rendering said pedestal non-rotative between said positions.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The stand according to claim 2 wherein said locking means comprises at least one resilient finger disposed in said pedestal.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
43 words
The stand according to claim 3 wherein said finger includes a ramp face adapted for cooperative coaction with said receptacle during pedestal rotation, with said finger first being deflected and subsequently returning to the predeflection state after said pedestal reaches said second position.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
The stand according to claim 2 wherein said pedestal in said second position assumes an orientation substantially perpendicular to that of said pedestal in said first position.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
The stand according to claim 2 wherein said locking means is a releasable locking means adapted for release to free said pedestal for rotation to said first position.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
The stand according to claim 2 further including means for preventing rotation of said pedestal beyond said receptacle stabilizing position.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
86 words
A drainage receptacle and stand in combination comprising a housing forming a collection chamber for collecting fluids drained from a patient, an inlet in said housing adapted to be connected to said patient for draining said fluids from said patient, a pedestal nondetachably coupled to a base of said receptacle and adapted for deployment in a position for stabilizing said receptacle against upset, and means of unitary structure formed in a surface of said pedestal for positively mechanically locking said pedestal at said receptacle stabilizing position.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
86 words
A drainage receptacle and stand in combination comprising a housing forming a collection chamber for collecting fluids drained from a patient, an inlet in said housing adapted to be connected to said patient for draining said fluids from said patient, a pedestal nondetachably coupled to a base of said receptacle and adapted for deployment in a position for stabilizing said receptacle against upset, and means of unitary structure formed in a surface of said pedestal for positively mechanically locking said pedestal at said receptacle stabilizing position.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
97 words
A drainage receptacle and stand in combination comprising a housing forming a collection chamber for collecting fluids drained from a patient, an inlet in said housing adapted to be connected to said patient for draining said fluids from said patient, a pedestal rotatively coupled to said receptacle and adapted for movement between first and second positions, with said pedestal at said second position stabilizing said receptacle against upset, and means of unitary structure formed in a surface of said pedestal for positively mechanically locking said pedestal at said second position rendering said pedestal non-rotative between said positions.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
97 words
A drainage receptacle and stand in combination comprising a housing forming a collection chamber for collecting fluids drained from a patient, an inlet in said housing adapted to be connected to said patient for draining said fluids from said patient, a pedestal rotatively coupled to said receptacle and adapted for movement between first and second positions, with said pedestal at said second position stabilizing said receptacle against upset, and means of unitary structure formed in a surface of said pedestal for positively mechanically locking said pedestal at said second position rendering said pedestal non-rotative between said positions.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
20 words
The combination according to claim 9 wherein said locking means comprises at least one resilient finger disposed in said pedestal.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
43 words
The combination according to claim 10 wherein said finger includes a ramp face adapted for cooperative coaction with said receptacle during pedestal rotation, with said finger first being deflected and subsequently returning to the predeflection state after said pedestal reaches said second position.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
27 words
The combination according to claim 9 wherein said pedestal in said second position assumes an orientation substantially perpendicular to that of said pedestal in said first position.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
28 words
The combination according to claim 9 wherein said locking means is a releasable locking means adapted for release to free said pedestal for rotation to said first position.
