Description

Device furred ceiling installed part Technical Field The present utility model relates to a ceiling mount for a device. Background An example of a device that may be carried by a device ceiling mount is a monitor. A monitor mounted on the ceiling is used where no bench space is available, for example in a catheterization laboratory commonly referred to as a catheterization laboratory. A catheter room is an examination room in a hospital or clinic with diagnostic imaging instruments that can be used in interventional procedures to visualize an artery and navigate treatment devices in the artery to a target location. During an interventional procedure, a surgical display is used to show the X-ray images and other critical inputs required by the physician. This requires a relatively large display (e.g., 58 ") or several smaller displays (e.g., 2 x 27") to be attached to the ceiling mount. To achieve monitor height adjustment with minimal effort, motorized monitor ceiling mounts may be used. A disadvantage of the electric device ceiling mount is the relatively slow up and down movement. There is a need for a device ceiling mount that can move up and down at a relatively high speed. Disclosure of utility model The utility model aims to provide a device suspended ceiling mounting piece capable of moving up and down at a high speed. The object is achieved by a device ceiling mount according to an aspect of the utility model. The device ceiling mount includes a telescoping arm having an upper end piece and a lower end piece. The upper and lower end members are slidably coupled such that the length of the arms can be adjusted according to the needs of the user. When bridging a relatively large distance is desired, the telescoping arm may include more components than the upper and lower end pieces. Each component is slidably coupled to its adjacent or neighboring components. For example, the telescoping arm may have three components, an upper end component that is slidably coupled to a middle component, a middle component that is slidably coupled to a lower end component, and a lower end component. The upper end piece may be attached to a ceiling of a room and the frame coupled to the lower end piece. A device (e.g., a monitor) may be attached to the frame. The height of the monitor relative to the user can be adjusted by changing the length of the telescoping arm. In order to enable a user to easily adjust the length of the telescoping arm with minimal effort, the device ceiling mount includes an adjustable constant force spring that counter-balances the weight of a monitor or additional instrument or accessory that has been attached to the frame with its force. When adjusting the length of the telescoping arm, the cable will exert a force on the adjustable constant force spring, which will act as a counter to the force of gravity acting on the device attached to the frame and keep the device stationary at the desired position to which the user wants to move. The speed of the up and down movement is determined by the user. By using an adjustable constant force spring (which acts as a counter to the weight of the device), the user does not have to expend great effort moving the device attached to the frame up and down. The spring force is adjusted for the weight of the device (e.g., a monitor or additional instrument or accessory attached to the frame). Measurements showed that the user could move the frame (and the device attached to the frame) up with one arm at a maximum speed of 260mm/s and down at a maximum speed of 338 mm/s. For an electrically powered device ceiling mount, an average upward velocity of about 15mm/s is measured, and an average downward velocity of about 17mm/s is measured. The device ceiling mount further comprises a friction element arranged to provide a predetermined level of resistance to adjustment of the length of the telescoping arm. The friction element provides a predetermined level of resistance when the length of the telescoping arm is adjusted by moving the frame up or down, such that when the user stops pushing the frame up or down (and the device attached to the frame), the friction element provides a "braking force" to stop the upward or downward movement of the telescoping arm and provide a stable balance, wherein the length of the telescoping arm is fixed until an external force from the user pushes the frame up or down with a force greater than a predetermined threshold set by the friction element. The friction element prevents the constant force spring from having to be adjusted to maintain static balance when a relatively small additional accessory (e.g., less than 3 kg weight) is attached to the frame. Examples of accessories that may be attached to the frame include an infusion stand, a waste basket, or a camera. The telescoping arm may include one or more intermediate members slidably coupled between the upper and lower end members. The maximum length of the telescoping ar
