Abstract: A method and a fastening system for the releasable fastening of a component to an apparatus are described. Here the fastening system comprises a detent spring arranged on the apparatus, a detent pin with a groove arranged on the component and a Bowden cable arranged on the apparatus. If the component is fastened to the apparatus, the detent spring locks in the groove in a locking position. The Bowden cable is connected to the detent spring such that when pulling on the Bowden cable, the detent spring releases from the locking position in the groove, as a result of which the fastening of the component to the apparatus is released.

Abstract: A medical examination or treatment facility is proposed. The medical examination or treatment facility, which is a magnetic resonance facility in particular, comprises a main unit and a support structure that can be fastened to the main unit, the support structure being a profile frame structure. Because of their particular form profile frames allow a wide range of components to be fastened without major outlay. They are simple, stable and flexible to use and allow a significant cost reduction compared with conventional steel structures. The profiles in the profile frames allow changes to be made easily to the arrangement of fastened parts at any time by moving fastening units in the profile frames.

Abstract: A patient positioning couch includes an illumination apparatus having at least one light source that is arranged in the patient positioning couch. The patient positioning couch is capable of being placed in an examination area of a medical device. Through the arrangement of the at least one light source of the illumination apparatus of the patient positioning couch, it is always ensured that the illumination does not lose its location relative to a patient or another object positioned on the patient positioning couch, even if the position of the patient positioning couch changes, e.g. if the patient positioning couch is moved into or out of the examination area. At the same time an especially space-saving illumination of the examination area can thus be achieved.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cladding part for components. The cladding part has at least two areas with different vibration damping properties. The different areas make it possible in a simple manner to meet partly conflicting requirements for cladding parts of the components in an optimum manner. The components include medical examination devices.

Abstract: An inventive retaining device which can be adjusted in three spatial directions, in particular for fastening a first component to a second component, includes a first plate, which can be fixedly connected to the second component, as well as a second plate, which can be adjusted in a first spatial direction relative to the first plate, and a third plate, which can be adjusted in a second spatial direction relative to the second plate and a centering pin, which can be fixedly connected to the first component and can be adjusted in a third spatial direction relative to the third plate. The inventive retaining device allows a particularly flexible regulation of tolerances and facilitates an assembly and/or disassembly of the components.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pipe/cable enclosure for pipes and cables of a medical diagnostic device, said enclosure surrounding the pipes/cables running from the diagnostic device to a partition wall and having at least one folding wall element with folds which, in the assembled state, is disposed folded at the folds around the pipes/cables, thus surrounding the pipes/cables.

Abstract: Medical device with a patient tunnel lined by a lining and a patient couch that can be moved into and out of the tunnel and accommodated in a recess in the lining enclosing the sides of the patient couch, with the patient couch having a clearance from the lining when fully withdrawn from the tunnel, with an element that can be moved against a resetting force being provided at both sides in each case in the area of the recess near to the couch, it being possible for said element during a vertical movement from a lowered position into the completely withdrawn position or at the start of the inward movement to be deflected by the patient couch against the resetting force to a position separated from the patient couch by a narrow gap or to a position abutting against the patient couch.

Abstract: An inventive vibration-generating device comprises a cover and isolating device arranged between the cover and the assembly. The isolating device reduces the propagation of vibrations from the vibration-generating assembly to the outer casing of the cover and is hereby supported according to the embodiment so that they float in relation to the assembly and/or the cover.

Abstract: A medical examination or treatment facility, in particular a magnetic resonance facility, having a number of electronic modules and a number of casing elements encasing the facility on the outside, with at least some of the electronic modules and/or casing elements being fixed to support rails disposed on one or more components of the facility by means of quick-action tension elements that are guided in such a manner that they can be displaced longitudinally and can be secured on said rails.
