Abstract: A clamping device for machine tools, comprising a chuck (1.1) and a drawbar (1.2) for clamping separate pallets (1.3), with a bayonet-connection via rotational motion of that drawbar (1.2). Rotational motion of the drawbar (1.2) is guided and determined by means (2.5, 2.7, 2.6, 2.4, 2.12, 3) provided in the chuck housing (2.3) interacting with the drawbar (1.2, 2.13). The drawbar (1.2) is turnable mounted in the chuck (1.1) to impede the drawbars extraction out of the chuck, independent if the drawbar (1.2) is in clamping or unclamped condition.

Abstract: The invention relates to an X-ray stand comprising an outer C arm along which a support for an inner C arm is displaceably mounted. The inner C arm which carries an X-ray tube and an image intensifier is displaceably arranged in the support. The X-ray stand further comprises a drive device for the displacement of the support along the outer C arm and the displacement of the inner C arm along the support. The aim of the invention is to create an X-ray stand of the above-described kind that comprises a drive device that is relatively inexpensive, requires little space and allows for a relatively high positioning accuracy. This aim is achieved in that the drive device is provided with a single drive means that influences the inner C arm and the support simultaneously in such a manner that the inner C arm and the support move in the same direction.

Abstract: An x-ray examination apparatus has a base with at least one fixed part and one carriage that can be vertically shifted in relation to the fixed part. The carriage is provided with a horizontally projecting shaft, to which an apparatus component is mounted and which has a center axis around which the apparatus component can rotate. A pulley with a peripheral surface that is at least partially round is rotationally mounted to the shaft and is firmly connected to the apparatus component. A first pair of wheels is arranged at the fixed part of the base and a connector is provided to connect the pulley to the wheels so that whenever the wheels are respectively simultaneously rotated in different directions, the pulley and thus the apparatus component are vertically shifted and whenever the wheels are rotated in the same direction, the pulley and thus the apparatus component are caused to rotate around the center axis.
