Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to an anaesthesiology draping screen structure and more particularly to a structure to support (1) a first anaesthesiology draping cloth screen disposed crosswise of a surgical table and aligned at a level just caudad to the head of a patient and (2) a second anaesthesiology sterile screen. The second screen is characterized by being formed of a rigid, transparent material, such as Plexiglass or methyl methacrylate and is adjustably and detachably supported by the surgical table through (1).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
An anaesthesiology draping screen structure comprising two spaced-apart supports adapted to be carried by a surgical table; a first draping screen support extending across said surgical table carried by said spaced-apart supports, and adapted to support an anaesthesiology draping cloth screen in draping position relative to a patient on said surgical table; a second anaesthesiology sterile translucent screen extending across said surgical table and carried by said spaced-apart supports; and, the upper part of said second anaesthesiology sterile translucent screen being higher than said first draping screen support so as to preclude the positioning of an object on said anaesthesiology draping cloth.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
An anaesthesiology draping screen structure comprising two spaced-apart supports adapted to be carried by a surgical table; a first draping screen support extending across said surgical table carried by said spaced-apart supports, and adapted to support an anaesthesiology draping cloth screen in draping position relative to a patient on said surgical table; a second anaesthesiology sterile translucent screen extending across said surgical table and carried by said spaced-apart supports; and, the upper part of said second anaesthesiology sterile translucent screen being higher than said first draping screen support so as to preclude the positioning of an object on said anaesthesiology draping cloth.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
49 words
The combination of claim 1 wherein said two spaced-apart supports comprise two spaced-apart base supports, each of which carries a first vertical support and wherein the second sterile screen is carried by two spaced-apart second vertical supports, each of which is carried by one of said first vertical supports.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
41 words
The combination of claim 1 wherein said second sterile screen is substantially parallel to a draping cloth screen carried by said first draping screen support, and is disposed toward the head end of the surgical table relative to draping cloth screen.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
The combination of claim 1 wherein said second sterile screen is formed of a rigid transparent material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
The combination of claim 1 wherein said second sterile screen is formed of a central panel and two side panels, each of which side panels is hinged to the central panel along a vertical side marginal edge portion thereof.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
The combination of claim 5 wherein each of said two spaced-apart supports is connected to a side panel of said second sterile screen.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
20 words
The combination of claim 2 wherein each of said second vertical supports is detachably connected with its supporting first support.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
38 words
The combination of claim 7 wherein each of said first vertical supports comprises a tubular member and each of said second vertical supports comprises a split clamp detachably connected on the periphery of a first vertical tubular member.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
21 words
The combination of claim 2 wherein each of said second vertical supports is vertically adjustable relative to its supporting first support.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
87 words
The combination of claim 9 wherein each of said first vertical supports comprises a first vertical plate, each of said second vertical supports comprises a second vertical plate pivotally connected to a said first vertical plate, said second vertical plate is provided with an opening registering with different openings in the first vertical plate upon pivotal movement of the second vertical plate relative to the first vertical plate, and a removable pin inserted through registering openings in said plates maintains an adjusted vertical position between said plates.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
77 words
An anaesthesiology screen structure comprising: A. an anaesthesiology screen extending transversely across a surgical table; B. at least two spaced-apart first supports; C. said first supports connecting with and supporting said anaesthesiology screen; D. said first supports being spaced sufficiently far apart so that said first supports are on opposite sides of the surgical table; E. a second support means for supporting the first supports; and F. said anaesthesiology screen is formed of a rigid transparent material.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
77 words
An anaesthesiology screen structure comprising: A. an anaesthesiology screen extending transversely across a surgical table; B. at least two spaced-apart first supports; C. said first supports connecting with and supporting said anaesthesiology screen; D. said first supports being spaced sufficiently far apart so that said first supports are on opposite sides of the surgical table; E. a second support means for supporting the first supports; and F. said anaesthesiology screen is formed of a rigid transparent material.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
42 words
An anaesthesiology screen structure according to claim 11 and comprising: a. said screen having a central panel and two side panels; and b. each of which side panels is hinged to the central panel along a vertical side marginal edge portion thereof.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
176 words
A combination of an anaesthesiology translucent screen structure and an anaesthesiology draping screen structure, said combination comprising: a. two spaced-apart first supports with a support on each side of the surgical table; b. a first draping screen support extending transversely across a surgical table and supported by said two spaced-apart first supports; c. said first draping screen support adapted to support an anaesthesiology draping screen structure in draping position relative to a patient on said surgical table; d. said anaesthesiology draping screen structure extending transversely across said surgical table; e. said combination comprising at least two spaced-apart second supports; f. said second supports connecting with and supporting said anaesthesiology draping screen structure; g. said second supports being space sufficiently far apart so that said second supports are on opposite sides of the surgical table; h. support means for supporting the second supports; and, i. the upper part of said anaesthesiology translucent screen structure being higher than said anaesthesiOlogy draping screen structure so as to preclude the positioning of an object on said anaesthesiology draping screen structure.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
176 words
A combination of an anaesthesiology translucent screen structure and an anaesthesiology draping screen structure, said combination comprising: a. two spaced-apart first supports with a support on each side of the surgical table; b. a first draping screen support extending transversely across a surgical table and supported by said two spaced-apart first supports; c. said first draping screen support adapted to support an anaesthesiology draping screen structure in draping position relative to a patient on said surgical table; d. said anaesthesiology draping screen structure extending transversely across said surgical table; e. said combination comprising at least two spaced-apart second supports; f. said second supports connecting with and supporting said anaesthesiology draping screen structure; g. said second supports being space sufficiently far apart so that said second supports are on opposite sides of the surgical table; h. support means for supporting the second supports; and, i. the upper part of said anaesthesiology translucent screen structure being higher than said anaesthesiOlogy draping screen structure so as to preclude the positioning of an object on said anaesthesiology draping screen structure.
