  • Mobile operating table column having an integrated stability system
    Patent number: 12201565
    Abstract: A mobile operating table column comprising a base and a stability system for ensuring that the base rests securely on an uneven surface, wherein the stability system comprises: four retractable and extendable upright support elements arranged at four different corners of the base, as well as support surfaces and an actuator for retracting and extending each of the four upright support elements. Each upright support element is associated with a support surface and can be retracted and extended relative to the latter. Moreover, the stability system may assume at least two different operating states: i) a parked state, in which the base rests on the floor with at least three of the support surfaces and the upright support elements are retracted; and ii) a fixed stationary state, in which the base rests on the surface with at least three of the support surfaces and the support elements are extended such that they are in contact with the surface and thereby ensure that the base rests securely on the floor.
