Compact Treatment, Examination and Waiting Station
20210361504 · 2021-11-25 · ·

A device that adapts/upgrades an existing, or new medical facility to provide a method of examining and treating occupants in a safe, efficient manner which is one quarter the size of conventional examination and treatment spaces through the use of a system that utilizes a modular frame and compartments to organize medical utilities, services and equipment to be more space efficient than conventional examination and treatment spaces. The frame and compartments have a shaped surface that focuses acoustic energy to increase intelligibility between a caregiver and the occupant and at the same time reduce ambient acoustic energy propagation. Additionally, the device can be disassembled, moved and reassembled easily. Further, the surface over the compartments creates a safety barrier between expensive and delicate utilities that mitigates tampering, accidental damage and reduces the possibility of infectious disease transmission.

Modular construction system and method of use thereof

A modular construction system, including, first and second walls, each having first and second broad surfaces. Each wall includes throughgoing connector-receiving bores. The modular construction system further includes a connector including a longitudinal body portion arranged along a longitudinal axis and having a first width. A head portion of the longitudinal body portion includes a base surface having a second width in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis. A pair of protrusions extend outwardly from the longitudinal body portion and are disposed between the base surface and a tail end of the longitudinal body portion. The protrusions include an engagement surface facing toward the base surface and having a third width, the third width being greater than the first width.

Personal workspace assembly

A lounge assembly comprising a lower wall structure including at least first and second spaced apart side walls and a rear wall that together form an assembly space, each of the side walls and rear wall including an internal surface, a seat assembly supported between the first and second side walls, a first coupler mounted to the internal surface of the first side wall, a support arm having an arm length dimension between proximal and distal ends, the proximal end mounted to the first coupler adjacent the internal surface of the first side wall for rotation about a first vertical axis and a tablet member supported at the distal end of the support arm for rotation about a second vertical axis through a second range of motion with respect to the support arm.

Soundproof enclosure
11788308 · 2023-10-17 ·

A method for building a soundproof enclosure (10) in the form of an independent structure with acoustic properties for isolating noise and vibration is disclosed. The soundproof enclosure (10) comprised a plurality of acoustical wall panels (12) interconnectable each to another at opposing sides for enclosing an interior space (41) of various sizes. The soundproof enclosure (10) further comprised one or more modular multilayer ceiling unit(s) (13) assembled onto the top edges of the acoustical wall panels (12) to form the enclosure. The ceiling unit (13) comprised a plurality of ceiling layers (17), each ceiling layer (17) being vertically spaced apart with one another by brackets to topographically form the multiple guided spaces necessary for air flow circulation within the enclosure (10). These guided spaces can also house multiple implements such as circulation fan, air filter and sound silencer. Sound insulating material layer(s) are interposed between the contacting surfaces of the ceiling unit (13) and the acoustical wall panels (12) and/or all around the surfaces to isolate and decouple the ceiling unit (13) from the acoustical wall panels (12) from vibrations. A sound barrier cover (16a or 79) is interposed at the openings (25) of the air passages (24) to further reduce the sound level emitted into and exiting from the enclosure. In addition, a construction method by elevating the heavy acoustical wall panels (12) and the ceiling units (13) until they fall into precise assembly location for ease of assembly of the components of the enclosure (10) and a floor base unit 11 that enabled the enclosure (10) to about easily in whole is also disclosed. Furthermore, a method to ease assembly of the enclosure (10) by use of removable heavy-duty handles (87) is disclosed.
