Abstract: A medical procedure table has parallel spars supported by the base of the table. A number of accessories, such as table top segments, retractors, support pads, etc. can be removably attached at desired locations along the spars. Each accessory has a base with at least one downwardly-extending lip defining a channel for removably seating the accessory over at least one spar. A locking mechanism extends from the base of the accessory adjacent to the channel to automatically grip the spar between the locking mechanism and the lip as the accessory is seated over the spar. The locking grip mechanism can be manually released to reposition or remove the accessory.

Abstract: A detachable side rail assembly has male and female brackets that can be removably secured to opposing sides of a spar of a medical procedure table to facilitate attachment of accessories. The spar has a series of horizontal holes spaced at intervals along its length. The male bracket has a plurality of alignment pins for insertion through selected holes with their ends protruding through the spar. The female bracket is positioned on the opposite side of the spar and has openings to allow the protruding ends of the pins to pass through the female bracket. Keyways in the openings of the female bracket drop into corresponding recesses in the protruding ends of the pins to restrict withdrawal of the pins. A tightening mechanism is employed to exert a tensile force on the pins to removably retain the keyways of the female bracket in the recesses of the alignment pins.

Abstract: A medical procedure table has a plurality of removable table top segments, each having a substantially planar top surface and downwardly-extending lips defining channels for removably seating the table top segment over corresponding parallel spars supported by the base of the table. Each table top segment can be attached at a desired position along the length of spars to create a customizable top surface for the medical procedure table, while the lips constrain lateral movement of the table top segment. Each table top segment also includes locking mechanisms that automatically grip the spars between the locking mechanisms and the lips as the table top segment is seated over the spars. These locking grip mechanisms can be manually released to reposition or remove the table top segment.
