Abstract
The invention relates to a head clamping device (1) comprising a frame composed of two elements (2,3) exhibiting each first ends (7) flexibly connected to each other and second ends (5) with spikes (13,19) for fixing the head. The aim of the invention is to increase the mechanical stability of such a device. For that purpose, the frame elements (2,3) are mounted in such a way that they can rotate relatively to each other around a common rotation axis (4).
Claims25
Head clamp for positioning a head, with a frame formed from two frame elements, which respectively have first ends which are movably joined together and second ends which carry pins for fixing the head in position, the frame elements being pivoted relative to one another about a common axis of rotation, wherein the frame comprises a swivel position fixing device with at least one fixing component, on one of the two frame elements, which has at least one projection, and with corresponding recesses, disposed on the other frame element, in which the projection engages in a fixing position and fixes the frame elements in their position relative to one another, and the fixing component can be brought relative to the recesses from the fixing position into a release position in which the frame elements can be swivelled relative to one another.
