lockout Explanation: It's very hard to tell without knowing the sort of equipment involved (looks more mechanical than eelctrical from the examples you give?) Your question is very unclear, when you talk about 'position', do you mean that "the machine goes into the X position"? It woul dhelp a great deal also to know what other options you've tried, and why you are dissatisfied with them? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2013-05-02 16:14:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- To me, the crux of the matter is "what is it that is being 'interdit'?" Upon that revelation hinges the type of term needed. I get the impression that for some reason, when this 'thing' goes wrong, it goes into 'lockout' in some way and prevents you from doing something — could be raising and lowering it, for example. If you knew that, you might be able to find a better targetted term. Without it, then 'lockout' (or hyphenated as Terry suggests) is a good way of saying that 'something' has been prevented from doing 'something'. |

latching, locking Explanation: Reminds me "verrouillage". I know medical tables from my inspections, but cannot associate the context to the correct item, except for the "lifting mechanism.", which is latched or locked in any position during operation. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 115 days (2013-08-26 09:38:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A mechanical lifting jack with a locking mechanism that arrests upward motion of the handle if the handle is suddenly released by the operator while raising or lowering a load. A latch on the pivot attachment of the handle to the lifting assembly is actuated by a lever disposed at the distal end of the handle, and engages into a toothed safety link when the lever is released. In the event that the operator suddenly releases the handle accidentally, the latch engages the safety link to arrest the upward motion of the handle. http://www.google.com/patents/US6176468 A medical equipment transport system for supporting medical equipment while a patient is transported. The system comprises an equipment rack, such as an IV stand. While in the hospital room, the rack is mounted on a bracket supported on a mobile tower. When the patient is moved, the rack is transferred to a similar bracket on the bed. Transfer of the rack between bed and tower brackets is accomplished using a lift mechanism in the tower. The lift mechanism includes a bogie stabilized by radially-arranged bearings, enabling the tower to accept omni directional loading and moment forces. The rack is supported on each of the brackets by two vertically-aligned conical pins nested in tapered bushings, providing additional stability. A self-locking, self-releasing latch assembly prevents inadvertent dislocation of the rack. http://www.google.de/patents/US7845601?hl=de |
