A coupling mechanism which supports an inventory divider within a storage bin. The coupling mechanism comprises a joint extension and a holding mechanism. The coupling mechanism is coupled to an interior wall of a supply bin. An inventory divider is inserted into the joint extension and is rotated within the joint extension between and upper and lower position within the storage bin. The holding mechanism of the coupling mechanism retains the inventory divider in the upper position, dividing the storage bin into two compartments. By retaining the inventory divider with a holding mechanism that is not directly connected to the bin, the wear on the holding mechanism is substantially reduced and the inventory divider is more secure.

Inventory management system

A surgical table is provided which is capable of conventional surgical table functions and is provided with a radioluscent tabletop which may be horizontally displaced to allow radiographic procedures to be performed without requiring relocation of the patient. The surgical table includes a base member which may be locked to a floor mount pivot. The base member supports a table superstructure which may be raised and lowered and tilted relative to the longitudinal axis of the table as well as tilted relative to a lateral axis of the table. A carriage assembly is provided intermediate the tabletop and the superstructure which allows the translation of the tabletop both longitudinally and laterally. Locking means are provided to prevent the horizontal translation of the tabletop when the table is in the surgical mode. Control means are provided to select either the surgical mode in which the tabletop is locked to the superstructure or the translation mode in which the tabletop may be translated relative to the superstructure. In the translation mode the table is locked to the floor bracket and the tabletop may be displaced relative to the superstructure. In addition, means are provided for automatically returning the table to a level condition either in the surgical mode or in the translation mode.

A fluid channelling pad is comprised of a padded portion for substantially covering a work surface. A member extends from the perimeter of the padded portion and has at least a portion thereof extending upwardly. The upwardly extending portion is displaced from the padded portion a predetermined distance to form a channel to control the flow of fluids.
