Definitions

  • the invention relates to a treatment table, in particular for physical therapy, with a support surface made up of lying surface sections which are fastened to one another at their respective adjacent edges by means of joints, the joint axes of which extend transversely to the longitudinal direction of the support surface, and a telescopic column which serves to adjust the height of the support surface which the support surface or its lying surface sections are pivotally attached.
  • Such a treatment table is known from DE 30 16 387 C2.
  • the vertical support column has a fixed column core and a column jacket which is axially movable and tapered towards the top.
  • One of the joints with which the lying surface sections are articulated is mounted in the tip of the column casing.
  • a working cylinder in particular a hydraulic cylinder, is provided in the column core, which acts on the column jacket.
  • Further working cylinders, which are articulated on the one hand on the column jacket and on the other hand on the lying surface sections are also available for pivoting the lying surface sections against each other.
  • the support surface can only be pivoted with respect to the vertical support column about the joint axis running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the support surface, the joint of which is mounted in the tip of the column jacket.
  • An operating table is known from EP 0 139 118 81, in which the support surface, which is also composed of bed surface sections, can be tilted both transversely to its longitudinal direction and parallel to its longitudinal direction.
  • a first frame is provided which is connected to a column head and is pivotably mounted about an axis running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the support surface.
  • a bearing sleeve is provided on the first frame, in which a second frame is pivotally mounted about an axis parallel to the longitudinal direction of the bearing surface.
  • the second frame is a central section, i.e. H. a central lying surface section of the support surface, rigidly connected.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a treatment table according to the preamble of claim 1, in which the support surface can also be pivoted about an axis parallel to the longitudinal direction of the support surface without too much additional design effort.
  • This object is achieved in that the connecting joint, with which the support surface is pivotally connected to the tapered column jacket about the joint axis extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the bed, at a bearing point fastened in the tip of the column jacket about a perpendicular to the joint axis of the connecting joint and perpendicular to Column axis extending longitudinal axis is pivotally mounted.
  • This bearing point can be realized without considerable constructional effort in that the hinge pin of the connecting joint is pivotally mounted on a bearing pin fastened in the tip of the column jacket, the axis of which runs parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bearing surface.
  • a working cylinder which is preferably designed as a hydraulic cylinder, can be supported in an articulated manner on the outer lateral surface of the column jacket and can act directly on the articulation pin of the connecting joint at an articulation point.
  • the additional working cylinders which are supported on the column casing and on the bed surface sections, can also carry out the pivoting about the longitudinal axis of the lying surface without any problems
  • the articulation points on the column casing and / or on the bed surface sections are designed as ball joints.
  • the support surface is divided in its longitudinal direction into four lying surface sections, which are connected to one another via three joints.
  • the middle of the three joints is designed as the connecting joint.
  • This is supported on the tapered column jacket by the bearing pin, the axis of which runs parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bearing surface.
  • the treatment table of the type mentioned at the outset can also be designed according to the invention in that its support surface is made in a known manner (eg British patent specification 910 029) from an X-ray transparent material, but in contrast to the known treatment table, the support surface on the two front edges and on the joints a frame can be suspended and can be detached from the rest of the treatment table.
  • a known manner eg British patent specification 910 029
  • the support surface on the two front edges and on the joints a frame can be suspended and can be detached from the rest of the treatment table.
  • this contact surface can be used as an additional contact surface of a treatment table, as is conventionally designed, or also of a treatment table according to the invention, and can additionally be placed on the contact surface provided there.
  • the patient on the additional support surface or on the support surface that can be detached from the treatment surface takes up the treatment position desired for an X-ray or also for sonography, the remaining part of the treatment table is removed and the support surface, as already explained, is hung on the frame.
  • An X-ray apparatus for example a C-arm of an X-ray recording device, can then be effortlessly attached to the patient, which lies on the suspended support surface can be moved up and the necessary recordings can be carried out.
  • the support surface is preferably made entirely of X-ray transparent material without additional disruptive supporting parts made of non-X-ray transparent material, such as iron parts.
  • the treatment table according to the invention can also be used in a variety of ways. It is not only suitable as a treatment table for massage purposes, but can also serve as a special table, operating table, therapy chair or therapy stool, as an extension bench, inclined plane or patient lifting platform and the like.
  • a treatment table 1 shown in FIG. 1 as an exemplary embodiment of the invention has a support surface 2, which in the longitudinal direction consists of several lying surface sections 3, 4, 5, 6, d. H. in the embodiment of four lying surface sections, is composed.
  • the four lying surface sections are connected to one another via three joints 7, 8, 9.
  • the support surface 2 is mounted on a vertical telescopic support column 10 via the central joint 8, which is designed as a connecting joint.
  • the bearing point is explained in more detail with reference to Figures 2 and 3.
  • Working cylinders 15, 16, 17, 18, which are preferably designed as hydraulic cylinders, are provided for adjusting the support surface or lying surface sections in different positions depending on the treatment.
  • the vertical support column 10 has a column core 11 which is anchored in a base 27. At this fixed column core 11, a column jacket 12 is axially displaceably mounted, so that the support column 10 is telescopic det.
  • the working cylinder 14 is supported on the base 27 or on a base piece of the column core 11 and engages on the column jacket 12 in the area of the column jacket tip 13.
  • the mode of operation of this support column is the same as that known from DE 30 16 387 C2.
  • the working cylinders 16, 17 are supported in ball joints 24, 25 on the outer surface of the column casing 12 and engage the lying surface sections 4 and 5, which are connected to the connecting joint 8, in ball joints 23, 26.
  • the working cylinders 15 and 18 are connected to the lying surface sections 3 and 4 or 5 and 6.
  • the control of the working cylinders 15 to 18 takes place in a known manner, for example with the aid of a keyboard via control electronics, which actuates valves for the working medium of the working cylinders.
  • the keyboard can be provided on the treatment table or can also be used for remote control of the working cylinders.
  • the connecting joint 8 and thus the entire bearing surface 2 can be pivoted about a longitudinal axis 19.
  • a hinge pin 20 is mounted on a bearing pin 22.
  • the axis of the bearing pin 22 is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the bearing surface 2 and extends perpendicular to the hinge axis 28 of the connecting joint 8 and perpendicular to the column axis 30 of the vertical support column 10.
  • the hinge pin 20, which extends over the entire width the support surface 2 extends, is provided with molded, for example welded on support jaws 21 and 31 which support the hinge pin 20 on the bearing pin 22.
  • the lying surface sections 4 and 5 with hinges, of which a hinge 47 is shown, are pivotably mounted on the hinge pin 20.
  • the bearing pin 22 is supported on the column jacket tip 13 on a support 48.
  • the support 48 is connected to the column jacket tip 13, preferably by welding.
  • the support jaws 21 and 31 and the support 48 can be made of flat steel, the support 48 protruding between the two support jaws 21 and 31 and the transverse bearing pin 23 connecting these elements to support the hinge pin 20 and thus the bearing surface 2.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 It can also be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3 that the working cylinder 14, which is guided in the column core 11, is connected to the support 48 via an articulation point 49.
  • a further working cylinder 32 which is also preferably designed as a hydraulic cylinder, is supported in an articulation point 50 on the outside of the column jacket 12.
  • the working cylinder 32 engages with its piston on the piston rod 51 at a hinge point 52 on the hinge pin 20 of the connecting joint 8.
  • the working cylinder 32 can also be operated in a known manner by remote control or by keyboard and corresponding control electronics. Through the working cylinder 32, however, it is achieved that the hinge pin 20 and thus the articulated support surface 2 can additionally be pivoted about the longitudinal axis 19, which extends perpendicular to the hinge axis 28.
  • the working cylinder 32 can pivot in a vertical plane, in which the joint axis 28 also lies, on the column jacket in the joint point 50.
  • This support surface 40 can be a support surface that can be detached from a treatment table or an additional support surface that can be placed on the support surface provided on the treatment table.
  • the support surface 40 is composed of several lying surface sections 53, 54, 55, 56. The individual lying surface sections are connected to one another via joints 43, 44, 45. At the front edges 41 and 42 of the support surface 40 and at the respective points of the joints 43, 44 and 45, hooking devices are provided, so that the support surface 40 at the front edges and at the points of the joints on length-adjustable support parts 63, 64, 65, 66 and 67 can be hung.
  • the length-adjustable support parts are connected to sliders 58, 59, 60, 61 and 62. These sliding pieces, which can also be designed as sliding rollers, are guided on an overhead rail 47.
  • the rail 47 located above can be mounted on a frame (not shown in more detail) or can also be attached to a ceiling of the treatment room.
  • the support 40 is released from the treatment table.
  • the treatment table or the support surface on the treatment table can be lowered and / or moved away.
  • an X-ray recording device in particular a C-arm of such a device, can be easily moved to the corresponding part of the patient's body for the recording. In this way, a comfortable, in particular pain-free and optimal positioning for the examination of the patient during the x-ray or also during the sonogram recording is achieved, and thus the examination technique is significantly improved.
