Abstract:
1. An incubator transporter interface assembly for releasably securing an incubator to a transporter, comprising: a plurality of parallel interface support brackets to support the incubator on the transporter, wherein the interface support brackets respectively comprise a plurality of slots; a plurality of parallel locking bars to secure the incubator in a secured state with the incubator transporter interface assembly, wherein the locking bars pass through the slots of the interface support brackets and respectively comprise at least one equipment mount; and a pivoting mechanism to facilitate simultaneous bidirectional actuation of the locking bars along opposite directional paths through the slots of the interface support brackets, wherein the pivoting mechanism comprises a stationary bar and a pivot bar that couples the locking bars with the stationary bar, wherein actuation of a first of the locking bars in a directional path pivots the pivot bar about a connection with the stationary bar such that the pivot bar actuates another of the locking bars in an opposite directional path simultaneously with actuation of the first of the locking bars, and wherein actuation of the locking bars pivot the equipment mounts together between a position for engaging the incubator in the secured state with the incubator transporter interface assembly and a position for disengaging the incubator from the secured state with the incubator transporter interface assembly.
