Abstract: An operating apparatus comprises an operating table with an operating support post, an operating table top and means for detachably fastening said operating table top to said operating support post, an anesthesis station and an examining station located at a distance from said operating support post and comprising an examining support post for receiving said operating table top. An overhead rail extends above said operating table and said examining station, and an overhead conveyor comprising means for carrying said operating table top is mounted on said overhead rail for movement therealong from a first position above said operating support post to a second position above said examining station. An overhead support carrying said anesthesis station is also mounted on said overhead rail for movement therealong. First coupling means are provided on said overhead conveyor and second coupling means are provided on said overhead support.

Abstract: A rack for receiving an object to be supported is disclosed. The rack has a pair of parallel corner profiles (1) each having two legs (2, 3) connected at an angle along an edge. A groove (4) extends parallel to the edge and has a longitudinal portion (5) which extends through the edge and which is inclined with respect to the two legs (2, 3). It also has a transverse portion (6) formed at the base of the longitudinal portion (5) and extending to both sides thereof with respective first and second portions (13, 13′). Bolts (44) engage each of the longitudinal portions (5) of the grooves (4). Sliding blocks (20) positioned in the transverse portions (6) cooperate with the bolts for fastening the object to be supported to the frame.

Abstract: An operating equipment comprises an operating table (9) and a ceiling support carrying the operating table. This equipment achieves the advantage that the essential parts for the operation can be moved without a great expenditure of force to various places of the operating room relative to operating or sterilizing devices thereat.

Abstract: An infusion supply apparatus is provided which is attachable to a stationary apparatus such as an overhead support (1), on the one hand, and with a patient transporting apparatus (3), on the other hand. The transfer from one such apparatus to the other shall be possible in a simple and locked manner. To this end, the stationary apparatus (1), the patient transport apparatus (3) and a handle (12) each have a coupling member (2, 4, 13) and a support (7) for the medical appliances comprises a coupling (8) cooperating with respective two such coupling members. The coupling (8) comprises a lock means (16, 17) which unlocks in case of engagement of two coupling members in the coupling means for selective detachment of an engagement and locks in case of engagement of a single one of the coupling members.

Abstract: An overhead support for carrying medical appliances and providing supply lines in the medical field comprises support arms and a support column. In order to allow a simple and cheap manufacture of such an overhead support, the support arms are made of an extruded profile having a substantially rectangular cross section, side walls, a top wall, a bottom wall, longitudinal webs extending between the top wall and the bottom wall in a direction substantially parallel to the side walls in spaced relation thereto, and a channel for the supply lines, the channel being defined by the top and bottom walls and the webs.

Abstract: An infusion supply apparatus is provided which can be connected with a stationary apparatus such as an overhead support (1) on the one hand, and with a patient transporter (3) on the other hand. In order to allow an easy and locking transfer from one such apparatus to the other the stationary apparatus (1), the patient transporter (3) and a mobile chassis (5) each have a coupling member (2, 4, 9) and a support for the medical appliances has a coupler system (13) cooperating with respective two such coupling members. The coupling system (13) comprises a locking apparatus (19, 20) which unlocks for selective release of an engagement if two coupling members engage the coupling system and which locks upon engagement of a single coupling member.

Abstract: In a line connector system an incorrect interconnection of different lines shall be excluded. This is achieved by connecting a female connector (1-3, 1-6) to one line and a male plug (2-3, 2-6) to the other line, the female connector and male plug having a defined total length when connected; the total length may for example exactly correspond to the distance between two holding members (4, 5) of a holder (3) which receives the connected coupling members with the lines connected thereto. The individual female connectors and male plugs, respectively, have a respective different length such that the total length of incorrect coupling members in a connected state deviate from the predetermined length, whereby for example an insertion of the connected coupling members into the holder is impossible.
