Abstract: An operating table including a support structure and an elongate table top mounted on the support structure. The table top is composed of four relatively movable sections arranged in edge to edge relationship with the adjacent edges of each two adjacent sections extending transverse of the longitudinal axis of the table top and each section being movable relative to its adjacent section about an axis also extending transverse to that longitudinal axis. One of the sections forms a first transferable or head section and is normally releasably mounted at one end of the table. A second transferable or leg section is normally releasably mounted at the opposite end of the table. The leg section includes a coupling hole at the outer end thereof so that the head section can be selectively releasably attached to the outer end of the leg section.
