Abstract
An adjusting device for positioning support surface segments of an operating table is disclosed and may have a four-bar linkage, in which a base element of the operating table and a support surface segment of a patient bearing surface of the operating table are connected. The four-bar linkage may have a first guide bar and a second guide bar. The support surface segment may be connected to the four-bar linkage so that it can pivot about the second pivot.
Claims29
An adjusting device for positioning support surface segments of an operating table, the adjustment device comprising a four-bar linkage wherein a base element of the operating table and a support surface segment of a patient bearing surface of the operating table are connected,
- wherein the four-bar linkage has a first guide bar, which is connected at its first end to the base element so that it can pivot about a first pivot axis and at its second end to a first end of a coupler so that it can pivot about a second pivot axis parallel to the first pivot axis, and
- the four-bar linkage has a second guide bar, which is connected at its first end to the base element so that it can pivot about a third pivot axis parallel to the first pivot axis and at its second end to the coupler so that it can pivot about a fourth pivot axis parallel to the first pivot axis, wherein the support surface segment is connected to the four-bar linkage so that it can pivot about the second pivot axis.
