a carriage supported from the track and movable between a first carriage position outside of the cavity and a second carriage position inside of the cavity,
a vertically oriented member supported from the carriage, the vertically oriented member operable to extend and retract relative to the carriage, and
at least one hook supported from the vertically oriented member, wherein extension or retraction of the vertically oriented member relative to the carriage changes the vertical position of the at least one hook.
2. The architectural system of claim 1 , wherein the vertically oriented member is rotatable about a vertical axis to change the position of the at least one hook about the vertical axis.
3. The architectural system of claim 2 , wherein the at least one hook is detachable from the vertically oriented member.
4. The architectural system of claim 3 , wherein the at least one hook comprises a plurality of hooks.
5. The architectural system of claim 4 , wherein the plurality of hooks are secured to structure removably coupled to the vertically oriented member.
6. The architectural system of claim 5 , wherein the structure is secured to the vertically oriented member by a hook.
7. The architectural system of claim 5 , wherein the structure is secured to the vertically oriented member by a latch.
8. The architectural system of claim 4 , further comprising patient care equipment supported from the hooks.
9. The architectural system of claim 8 , wherein the patient care equipment comprises at least one flexible member that extends from the hooks and is configured to engage a patient.
10. The architectural system of claim 9 , wherein the patient care equipment comprises at least one user input operable to control operation of the patient care equipment.
11. The architectural system of claim 10 , wherein the vertically oriented member is extendable to position at least a portion of the patient care equipment on a patient support apparatus such that the weight of the portion of the patient care equipment is supported by the patient support apparatus.
12. An architectural system comprising
a headwall unit positioned in a room, the headwall unit including a frame defining a cavity,
a support structure supported from a ceiling of the room,
a vertically oriented member depending from the support structure, the vertically oriented member having a variable length, and
at least one hook supported from the vertically oriented member, wherein extension or retraction of the vertically oriented member relative to the support structure changes the vertical position of the at least one hook,
wherein the vertically oriented member is movable between a stowed position wherein the hook and the vertically oriented member are positioned inside the cavity and a use position wherein the hook and the vertically oriented member are positioned outside the cavity.
13. The architectural system of claim 12 , wherein the headwall unit includes a door movable between a first position in which the cavity is enclosed and a second position in which the cavity is accessible from the room, and wherein the door is closable when the hook and the vertically oriented member are positioned inside the cavity.
14. The architectural system of claim 13 , wherein the vertically oriented member is rotatable about a vertical axis to change the position of the at least one hook about the vertical axis.
15. The architectural system of claim 14 , wherein the at least one hook is detachable from the vertically oriented member.
16. The architectural system of claim 15 , wherein the at least one hook comprises a plurality of hooks.
17. The architectural system of claim 16 , further comprising patient care equipment supported from the hooks.
18. The architectural system of claim 17 , wherein the patient care equipment comprises at least one flexible member that extends from the hooks and is configured to engage a patient.
19. The architectural system of claim 18 , wherein the patient care equipment comprises at least one user input operable to control operation of the patient care equipment.
20. The architectural system of claim 19 , wherein the patient care equipment is selectively is removable from the vertically oriented member.
