Abstract: A particle therapy system is provided. The particle therapy system includes an imaging unit and a rotatable gantry with an irradiation unit. The irradiation unit projects into an irradiation room delimited by a wall. The imaging unit is arranged on a C-arm. The C-arm is operable to be moved between a retracted parking position and an extended diagnostic position for imaging purposes.

Abstract: A device for assembling and laying track support bridge sections displaceable at right angles to their longitudinal axis, with launching support structures, which are arranged between the track supports and are likewise transversely displaceable, into a bridge support structure. The device includes a base frame with a plurality of telescoping props, base frame being built up on a vehicle. A laying arm is provided pivotable around a horizontal axis at one end of the base frame. A front arm is provided pivotable around a horizontal axis at another end of the base frame. Both the laying arm and the front arm are adjustable by hydraulic cylinders. A displacing device is provided for pushing the bridge sections apart and together. The displacement device includes track support and launching support sections arranged between the front arm and the laying arm on the base frame in a transverse direction in relation to the base frame.

Abstract: Movable ground supports, which are folded out either manually or hydraulically, are arranged at the tip of the launching support in devices for laying collapsible bridges. An inflatable container (6) is integrated in the structural part (2) of the launching support (8), and the container acts as a movable support in the filled state. A release mechanism (10) arranged in the vicinity of the container ensures that the medium--compressed air or nitrogen--will escape from the inflated container (6) when the end of the bridge (5) has completely reached the bearing (9) after advancing forward.
