Abstract
A medical suspension system () includes a ceiling plate () configured for mounting to a support structure (). The ceiling plate supports a device (), such as a lighthead or video monitor, which is mounted to the ceiling plate via an articulated arm () and a spindle (), which is centrally mounted to the ceiling plate. A second device () is mounted to the ceiling plate, not through the spindle (), in the conventional manner, but via an adapter plate (), which is mounted directly to the ceiling plate. This increases the number of devices which are readily carried by the support structure without extending the spindle length which conventionally occurs when additional hubs are added to the main spindle.
