[0001] This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 12/135,244, filed Sep. 9, 2008, now U.S. Pat. No. ______, which is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/605,018, filed Nov. 28, 2006, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,392,621, which is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/885,369, filed Jul. 6, 2004, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,219,472, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein, and which is a divisional application of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/154,314, filed May 23, 2002, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,040,057, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein, and which claimed priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/293,949, filed on May 25, 2001, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
[0011] The detailed description particularly refers to the accompanying figures, in which:
[0040] Headwall unit 32 has a frame (not shown) to which central panels 60 couple. Headwall unit 32 has other panels or walls, such as a vertical back wall 59 and a pair of outer side walls 61 that extend from back wall in perpendicular relation therewith. In addition, headwall unit 32 has horizontal walls 63 that underlie cavities 34, 36 and inner side walls 65 that are spaced from, but parallel with, walls 61 as shown in FIG. 8. Cavities 34, 36 are defined, in part, by walls 59, 61, 63, 65. One or more of walls 59, 61, 63, 65 are coupled to the frame of headwall unit 32. In the illustrative embodiment, headwall unit 32 includes a lower portion 67 that is situated between a floor 69 of the hospital room and the portion of headwall unit 32 having central panels 60 associated therewith as shown in FIG. 8. A set of auxiliary medical service outlets 71 are coupled to lower portion 67. In addition, the portions of headwall unit 32 in which cavities 34, 36 are defined overhang underlying portions of floor 69 that are laterally outward of lower portion 67.
[0073] Cart 560 is couplable to hospital bed 572 as previously mentioned. Cart 560 is also couplable to min assemblies 598 included, for example, in operating room 574 and in intensive care unit rooms (not shown). Arm assemblies 598 extend from the ceilings of the respective rooms, such as room 574 as shown in FIG. 19. When cart 560 is coupled to arm assemblies 578, cart 560 is suspended from the ceiling of the respective room so that casters 566 of cart 560 are spaced apart from the floor of the respective rooms. Casters 566 are also spaced apart from the floor of the respective rooms when cart 560 is coupled to bed 572. It is within the scope of this disclosure for cart 560 to be coupled to or included in columns 40, 42 of any of architectural systems 30, 230, 330, as well as any alternatives of these, described above with regard to FIGS. 1-16.
