Abstract: A tripod head (5, 5′) for a support for a supply device for patients, with an elongated supply part (10, 10′) with feeds (11, 12) of supply lines and a carrying device (13, 13′, 14, 14′, 16, 19) attached to the supply part for carrying appliances, is provided, wherein the carrying device is adjustable in position on the supply part.

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 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: An appliance support as used in particular in intensive care stations of hospitals comprises a support arm for receiving support members for the appliances and supply connections for operating the same. Such an appliance support shall be modified to allow as many appliances, such as pumps and the like, as possible to be mounted thereto and to be movable relative thereto. To this end the support arm comprises a longitudinally extending groove and a support member being slidable in the groove and being pivotable around an axis relative to the support arm.

Abstract: An appliance carrier for use in particular with supports for appliances in a hospital is adapted for mounting appliance receiving supports in an adjustable height. To this end an extension arm of the carrier comprises a profiled portion having grooves extending in longitudinal direction of the carrier on two opposite sides thereof. The grooves receive a respective support member for connection with a carrier member. The support members are slidable in the respective grooves.

Abstract: An overhead support for receiving medical appliances comprises an extension arm and appliance receiving means and is modified for receiving various chassis-mounted appliances on said appliance receiving means. To this end the appliance receiving means is level-adjustable such that it receives a medical appliance carried on a chassis by grabbing the chassis from below.

Abstract: A support structure with a support arm pivotal for purposes of height adjustment which is balanced by means of a spring and includes at its free end a mounting structure for apparatus, for example, medicinal apparatus or data processing apparatus. The support arm of the support structure includes a support frame and at least two connecting rods which, for purposes of forming two parallelogram guidances, are connected at one end thereof with a guide element and at the other end thereof with a connecting member. The connecting members as also the guide element are rotatably mounted on the support frame. For balancing the weight, at least one compression spring is installed between the support frame and the guide element. In a preferred embodiment, gas pressure springs are used as compression springs.
