Abstract: Radiology holding device for a radiology apparatus comprises an attachment device and pivotally accommodated thereat, a supporting arm with at least one axle component and a supporting component. A locking device is provided for locking the supporting arm in at least one locking position. An actuating mechanism actuates the locking device. A patient may grip a holding device attached to the supporting arm. The axle component of the supporting arm is pivotally accommodated on the attachment device. The actuating mechanism comprises a force direction unit that locks force transfer in one direction, so as to specifically transfer to the locking device an operating force introduced into the flexible pull member for actuation.

Abstract: Radiology holding device (1) for a radiology apparatus (50) such as an X-ray apparatus (51), MRT apparatus (52), CT apparatus (53) or radiotherapy apparatus (54), comprising an attachment device (2) and pivotally accommodated thereat, a supporting arm (3) with at least one axle component (4) and a supporting component (5). Furthermore, a locking device (6) is provided for locking the supporting arm (3) in at least one locking position (7). An actuating mechanism (8) serves to actuate the locking device. A holding device (9) provided for attachment to the supporting arm (3) is comprised to provide a patient with a holding means. The axle component (4) of the supporting arm (3) is pivotally accommodated on the attachment device (2). The actuating mechanism (8) comprises a transfer component (11) passing through a hollow section (10) of the axle component (4).

Abstract: A bathtub comprises a frame structure and a tub body. The tub body is pivotally accommodated at the frame structure wherein the tub body is pivotable between a bathing position and an emptying position. The method of emptying the bathtub is distinguished in that the tub body pivots from the bathing position to the emptying position. Another bathtub comprises a frame structure and at least one tub body, the tub body being accommodated on the frame structure and wherein a drainage device is disposed in the bottom of the tub body. The drainage device comprises at least one tube extending from the drain hole of the drainage device up to beneath the tub body.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for filling bags wherein bags are filled one by one with a filling material and thereafter closed by means of an oscillating structure of an ultrasonic welding device. A parameter for the oscillating behavior of the oscillating structure is determined at no-load between closing two bags.

Abstract: Apparatus for supplying valved sacks or bags to filling nozzles is disclosed, including a first conveyor for transporting a sack to a waiting position spaced from the filling nozzle a distance at least equal to the width of the sack, and a second conveyor for transporting the sack in a suspended valve-open condition to the filling nozzle. A releasable gripping device associated with the second conveyor engages the sack adjacent the bottom of the valve means, thereby to open the same, which gripping device includes a pair of spaced opposed sheet metal plates.
