    Patent number: 4576368
    Abstract: A table mechanism suitable for use in a tomographic system, such as an X-ray computerized tomograph, has a table movable upwardly and downwardly by a parallel link mechanism. The distance of horizontal movement of a cradle on the table can be automatically compensated for, dependent on an angle of angular movement of the parallel link mechanism, while holding the cradle and a gantry, relatively positioned in a constant relation. A side of the parallel link mechanism is covered with a cover mechanism having a relatively small area.
