Patent number: 9072486Abstract: A C-arm x-ray device includes a C-arm and bearing rollers, on which the C-arm is moveably mounted. At least one drive unit drives or brakes the C-arm with the bearing rollers. The at least one drive unit is actively connected to the bearing rollers.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2012Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Andreas Limmer, Manfred Sechser

Patent number: 8662748Abstract: An X-ray device including a C-arm movably guided on a mount is provided. A radiation source and a radiation detector are arranged on the C-arm. The radiation source and the radiation detector are connected to the C-arm by cables fed in from outside, the cables being arranged on a cable clamp that may be moved at least in segments along the C-arm.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2011Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Norbert Herrmann, Andreas Limmer, Manfred Sechser

Publication number: 20130253485Abstract: A system includes at least one device that includes at least one device component. For a defined movement of the at least one device component, a movement axis and/or a movement direction may be selected by a selection element and may be identified by an activatable lighting element. The identified movement axis and/or the identified movement direction may be released by at least one actuation element, so that a desired movement of the at least one device component may be performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2012Publication date: September 26, 2013Applicant: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Jens Fehre, Andreas Limmer, Ralf Nanke, Manfred Sechser

Patent number: 8480303Abstract: A mobile x-ray device that is operable to be moved for a change in position and is operable to be controlled and braked during movement is provided. A handle is arranged on the x-ray device, and the handle is operable to both control and brake the mobile x-ray device. The combination of control and braking in a handle results in improved manageability and allows for a more compact design.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2010Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Reinhold Hartwich, Norbert Herrmann, Josef Rupprecht, Manfred Sechser

Patent number: 8025441Abstract: A movement system for a C-arm. The movement system comprises at least one first guide element arranged in a plane, a movement device arranged to allow movement along the first guide element as well as a first motion link rotatable around a first axis of rotation standing at right angles to the plane. The movement device is connected rotatably to the first motion link to a second axis of rotation standing at right angles to the plane such that a movement of the movement device along the first guide element causes the second axis of rotation to be moved on a circular track around the first axis of rotation. The advantage of this is that the arm is prevented from jamming as a result of leverages during movement of a C-arm.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2009Date of Patent: September 27, 2011Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Franz Fadler, Norbert Herrmann, Manfred Sechser

Publication number: 20110069820Abstract: A mobile medical diagnostic or therapy apparatus has at least one Bowden cable element via which the travel movement of the diagnostic or therapy apparatus is controlled. The use of one or more Bowden cable elements allows them to be placed relatively freely in the mobile diagnostic or therapy apparatuses and they require very little space.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2010Publication date: March 24, 2011Inventors: Reinhold Hartwich, Norbert Herrman, Andreas Limmer, Manfred Sechser

Patent number: 7901135Abstract: A displacement system for a C-arm arranged on a trolley is provided. The displacement system includes at least a first and at least a second guiding element arranged in a plane or parallel thereto. The first and second guiding element are arranged at right angles to one another and a displacement device arranged in a displaceable fashion along the first and second guiding element, with the displacement device being coupled to the guiding elements such that by rotating the displacement device about a drive axis, the displacement device is moved along the first and second guiding element. As a result, the displacement system prevents jamming as a result of leverage forces during displacement of the C-arm.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2009Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Franz Fadler, Norbert Herrmann, Manfred Sechser

Patent number: 7810995Abstract: The present embodiments relate to a displacement apparatus for a C-arm arranged on a trolley. The displacement apparatus includes at least a first and at least a second guide element arranged in a plane, whereby the first and second guide elements are arranged at right angles to one another, a first displacement device which can be moved along the first guide element, and a second displacement device, which can be moved along the second guide element. A linking device connects the first and second displacement device in such a way that any movement of the first displacement device will result in the second displacement device being moved along the second guide element. This avoids the possibility of any jamming which may arise as a consequence of the leverage forces generated when a C-arm is moved.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2009Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Franz Fadler, Norbert Herrmann, Manfred Sechser
