  • REDUCING VIBRATION OF A CANTILEVERED PATIENT SUPPORT SURFACE
    Publication number: 20170071556
    Abstract: A system and method for reducing vibration of a cantilevered patient support surface are provided herein. A system includes a spring and roller coupled with the spring. The spring creates an upwards spring bias on the patient support surface. The roller is coupled with the spring via a roller lever arm. A frictional resistance at the roller arm and an upward directed spring bias enables the roller to maintain constant contact with the patient support surface.
    Type: Application
