A patient support platform or mobile support cart is provided. The mobile support cart includes a transmission system that allows the patient and/or medical staff member to choose a stop, walk or roll mode. In the stop mode, the castor wheels are prevented from rolling across the floor by a braking mechanism. In the walking mode, the transmission causes a tracking wheel to engage the floor for pro-viding tracked or guided motion to the mobile support cart. In a roll mode, the tracking wheel is raised and is disengaged from the floor, and the castor wheels are free to rotate. The platform is capable of supporting devices that may be attached or associated with a patient throughout their stay at a healthcare facility. The braking mechanism can include a cable and an associated brake arm, with the cable po-sitioned to allow braking without inhibiting the ability of the castor wheel to swivel with respect to a castor mounting plate.
L'invention concerne une plate-forme de support de patient ou un chariot de support mobile. Le chariot de support mobile comprend un système de transmission qui permet au patient et/ou à un membre du personnel médical de choisir un mode d'arrêt, de marche ou de roulement. Dans le mode d'arrêt, un mécanisme de freinage empêche les roues pivotantes de rouler sur le sol. Dans le mode de marche, la transmission déclenche l'application sur le sol d'une roue de guidage pour permettre le mouvement guidé du chariot de support mobile. Dans le mode de roulement, la roue de guidage est relevée et retirée du sol, et les roues pivotantes sont libres de tourner. La plate-forme est capable de supporter des dispositifs qui peuvent être attachés ou associés à un patient pendant tout son séjour dans un établissement de soins. Le mécanisme de freinage peut comprendre un câble et un levier de frein associé, le câble étant placé de façon à permettre le freinage sans entraver la capacité de la roue pivotante à pivoter par rapport à la plaque de montage de la roulette.
