Abstract: An appliance support as used in particular in intensive care stations of hospitals comprises a support arm for receiving support members for the appliances and supply connections for operating the same. Such an appliance support shall be modified to allow as many appliances, such as pumps and the like, as possible to be mounted thereto and to be movable relative thereto. To this end the support arm comprises a longitudinally extending groove and a support member being slidable in the groove and being pivotable around an axis relative to the support arm.

Abstract: A support system comprises a cantilever for taking up objects running on roller wheels. The cantilever is formed to roll the objects onto the cantilever in a first direction up to a lock position and to remove them from the cantilever by rolling in a substantially opposite direction. The roller wheels shall be locked in a rest position and removal of the objects by rolling the roller wheels from the cantilever shall be eased. In order to achieve this object the cantilever comprises a depression formed at the lock position of the roller wheels and extending transversely to the roll-on direction. A substantially plane portion is provided at the roll-on side of the depression and a roller wheel arriving in the depression contacts said plane portion.
