Abstract: Arrangement for preparing and positioning patients to be treated and/or cared for medically, with at least two devices for preparing and positioning a patient in a preparation area and with at least one device for medically treating and/or caring for the patient in a treatment area. The preparation area and the treatment area are different and separated from each other by mobile or solid walls in order to prevent any visual openness to other patients. The preparation and positioning device has a dimensionally-stable base for receiving, preparing and positioning the patient and a linearly guided telescopic device that supports the dimensionally-stable base. The dimensionally-stable base can be relocated or transported together with the patient, who by the linearly guided telescopic device without floor guidance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement for preparing and positioning patients (12) to be treated and/or cared for medically, comprising at least one device (14, 14? 14?) for preparing and positioning a patient (12) in a preparation area (16, 16?, 16?) and comprising at least one device (18, 18?, 18?) for medically treating and/or caring for the patient (12) in a treatment area (20, 20?, 20?), wherein the preparation area and the treatment area (16, 16?, 16?, 20, 20?, 20?) are different and are spatially separated, characterised in that the at least one preparation and positioning device (14, 14?, 14?) comprises a dimensionally-stable base (22) for receiving, preparing and positioning the patient (12) in the preparation area (16, 16?, 16?) and a telescopic device (24), which supports the dimensionally-stable base (22) and which is linearly guided, in order to move the patient (12), who has been prepared and positioned in the preparation area (16, 16?, 16?) on the dimensionally-stable base (22), from t

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for detachably interlinking two vehicle elements (12, 12′) of a vehicle that are arranged in tandem. The inventive device comprises two supporting elements (14, 14′) on ends (16, 16′) of the two vehicle elements (12, 12′) facing each other and connecting devices (18) disposed between the two supporting elements (14, 14′) for transmitting forces between the vehicle elements (12, 12′). At least three connecting devices (18) are provided that are all or all but one adjustable lengthwise and whose ends (20, 20′) are supported via ball joints (22, 22′) on the two supporting elements (14, 14′) via at least three different force transmission points (24, 24′) lying in a common plane in such a manner that tractive, pressure and torsional forces can be transmitted between the two supporting elements (14, 14′) of the two vehicle elements (12, 12′).
