Abstract
A patient support mechanism has a patient gurney for the delivery and removal of a patient, the patient gurney having a removable bed board, and having a stationary patient bed provided for the acceptance of the bed board or having a stationary supporting part provided therefor at an imaging medical system such as, for example, a CT installation, an angiography device or a NMR installation. The patient gurney has carriages that are transversely displaceable toward both sides for accepting the bed board and for shifting the bed board from the patient gurney onto the patient bed or onto the supporting part and vice versa. A patient gurney having two double T-shaped supports that are centrally connected to one another by a longitudinal support.
Claims9
A patient support mechanism comprising:
- a stationary patient support;
- a patient gurney having a removable bed board adapted to be received at said stationary patient support upon removal from said patient gurney;
- and
- said patient gurney having carriages, each comprising telescopically extensible brackets, for accepting said bed board and for shifting said bed board from said patient gurney onto said patient support, said bed board occupying an unshifted position on said patient gurney and said carriages being transversely displaceable on opposite sides of said unshifted position allowing shifting of said bed board relative to said gurney at both of said sides.
A patient gurney comprising:
- first and second supports spaced from each other and connected to each other by a longitudinal carrier, each of said supports having an upper transverse strut and a lower transverse strut;
- running wheels melted on each of said lower transverse struts, each of said upper transverse struts and said lower transverse struts projecting beyond said longitudinal carrier at opposite sides of said longitudinal carrier so that each of said supports is substantially double T-shaped, wherein each of said upper transverse struts comprise transversely displaceable carriages, and wherein said gumey further comprises a bed board accepted on said carriages, said carriages being operable to shift said bed board selectively toward either of said sides.
