Abstract

A wall mounted power supply for medical diagnostic instruments provides a continuously variable output voltage over the normal operating range of such instruments and a discreet excess voltage above the normal operating range to provide extra illumination during brief periods. The power supply output is regulated so as to be independent of load. The power supply is adapted to be conveniently wall mounted on a bracket assembly which permits quick and secure attachment and removal.
