Abstract
An adapter device for detachably fastening instruments and equipment to a side rail of an operating table includes a clamping device by means of which the adapter device can be clamped to the side rail of the operating table, a longitudinal profile onto which the instruments and equipment can be detachably fastened, and a joint having at least one pivot axis formed between the clamping device and the longitudinal profile so that the longitudinal profile is pivotable relative to the clamping device about the pivot axis of the joint.
Claims14
An adapter device for releasable mounting of instruments and equipment on a side rail of an operating table, the adapter device comprising:
- a clamping device that clamps the adapter device to the side rail of the operating table,
- a longitudinal profile on which instruments and equipment are to be detachably fastened, and
- a lockable joint which is equipped with at least one pivoting degree of freedom around a pivoting axis and is arranged between the clamping device and the longitudinal profile so that the longitudinal profile can be aligned relative to the clamping device, wherein
- the lockable joint is adapted to be locked by a form closure in that a locking bolt being arranged offset from but parallel to the pivoting axis of the lockable joint detachably engages in a locking recess or in one of a plurality of locking recesses of the lockable joint, said locking bolt being operable by a first handle and the clamping device being operable by a second handle separately and independently from the operation of the locking bolt.
An adapter device for releasable mounting of instruments and equipment on a side rail of an operating table, the adapter device comprising:
- a clamping device by means of which the adapter device can be clamped to the side rail of the operating table,
- a longitudinal profile on which instruments and equipment are to be detachably fastened,
- and
- a lockable joint which is equipped with at least one pivoting degree of freedom and is arranged between the clamping device and the longitudinal profile so that the longitudinal profile can be aligned relative to the clamping device,
- wherein the lockable joint is adapted to be locked by means of force closure in that a clamping screw being arranged offset from but parallel to the pivoting axis of the lockable joint detachably clamps the lockable joint, said clamping screw being operable by a shoulder of the clamping screw and the clamping device being operable by a handle separately and independently from the operation of the clamping screw.
