Abstract: A remote-controlled, tilting table X-ray apparatus comprises a patient-supporting table carried by a tilting frame. An X-ray examining assembly comprises an X-ray source spaced above the table. A film-holder selector is disposed beneath the table. A tilt axis for the frame on a stand is provided parallel to and on each side of a transverse axis of symmetry of the frame, the tilting mechanism tilts the frame with respect to the stand in either direction about a selected one of the tilt axes. A carriage supporting the X-ray source is movable mounted on a guide running longitudinally and outwardly of the frame. The X-ray examining assembly comprises ancillary member such as an image intensifier connected to the frame. The film-holder selector and the ancillary member are guided longitudinally of the frame.

Abstract: A radiological table includes a platform for supporting a patient. The table is equipped with a single supporting mechanism for effecting the desired different translational movements in the transverse direction and the vertical direction, and its rotation and about axes parallel to its longitudinal axis. The platform is suspended at each of its ends by a mechanism which includes two concentric cranks, each journalled at one of their respective extremities to a pivot integral with a carriage or slide block gliding in a slide fixed transversely at the end of the platform. The transverse position of each of the carriages in the slide is independently controlled by a pinion secured to a hollow shaft rotatably mounted on said pivot and engaging a chain whose two ends are fixedly secured to the opposite extremities of the slide.
