Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung zur Halterung von Zubehörteilen an einer Patientenlagerfläche eines Operations- oder Untersuchungstisches.The invention relates to an arrangement for mounting accessories on a Patient support surface of a surgical or examination table.

Herkömmliche Operationstische haben entlang den Längsrändern der jeweiligen Operationstischfläche oder Patientenlagerfläche Gleitschienen, an denen mit Hilfe von Spannkloben verschiedene Zubehörteile angebracht werden können. Solche Zubehörteile sind beispielsweise Stützen für die Armlagerung, ein Narkosebogen für die Halterung von Gerätschaften für die Narkose, Körpergurte usw.Conventional operating tables have along the longitudinal edges of the respective Operating table surface or patient support slide rails, with which help By clamping different accessories can be attached. Such Accessories include, for example, supports for arm support, an anesthesia sheet for holding equipment for anesthesia, body straps etc.

Spezielle medizinische Untersuchungen und chirurgische Eingriffe benötigen den Einsatz von Röntgengeräten und erfordern damit Patientenlagerflächen, die artefaktfrei durchleuchtbar sein müssen. Metallgleitschienen der vorstehend genannten Art stören dabei die Durchleuchtbarkeit dieser Lagerflächen. Aus diesem Grunde hat man Lagerflächen entwickelt, die vollständig aus röntgenstrahlendurchlässigem Material, beispielsweise kohlefaserverstärktem Kunststoff, bestehen. Damit hat man aber das Problem, daß die Zubehörteile nicht mehr in der üblichen Weise an der Patientenlagerfläche selbst befestigt werden können sondern beispielsweise an eigenen Ständern gehalten werden. Dies wiederum behindert den Zugang zu der Patientenlagerfläche.Special medical examinations and surgical procedures are needed Use of x-ray equipment and thus require patient storage areas that need to be artifact-free durchleuchtbar. Metal slide rails of the above mentioned type disturb the transillumination of these storage areas. Out For this reason, storage areas have been developed that are completely made up X-ray transmissive material, for example carbon fiber reinforced Plastic, consist. But you have the problem that the accessories no longer attached to the patient support surface itself in the usual way can be kept but for example on their own stands. This in turn hinders access to the patient storage area.

Eine relevante Druckschrift ist die US-A-1 797 847, welche den ersten Teil des Anspruchs 1 entspricht.A relevant document is US-A-1 797 847 which discloses the first Part of claim 1 corresponds.

The invention is based on the object, an arrangement for mounting of Specify accessories of the type mentioned, the attachment of Accessories are also allowed on patient storage areas that out radiopaque material.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen auf das Profil der Patientenlagerfläche aufsteckbaren Zubehöradapter gelöst, an dem Halterungselemente für Zubehörteile befestigt sind.This object is achieved by a on the profile of Patient storage surface detachable accessory adapter solved at the Retaining elements for accessories are attached.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung hat den Vorzug, daß der Zubehöradapter an der Patientenlagerfläche verschoben oder bei Bedarf ganz von ihr abgenommen werden kann, um das Durchstrahlen der Patientenlagerfläche nicht zu behindern. Auf der anderen Seite können die Zubehörteile wie bisher unmittelbar an der Patientenlagerfläche angebracht werden, so daß der freie Zugang zu der Patientenlagerfläche gewährleistet ist.The solution according to the invention has the advantage that the Zubehöradapter on the Patient storage area moved or removed as needed from her can be so as not to hinder the irradiation of the patient support surface. On the other hand, the accessories as before can be attached directly to the Patient support surface be attached so that the free access to the Patient support surface is guaranteed.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform hat der Adapter zwei zum Umgreifen der Längsränder der Patientenlagerfläche bestimmte Klauen, die durch ein sich über die Breite der Patientenlagerfläche erstreckenden Bügel miteinander verbunden sind. Dieser Bügel kann einstückig mit den Klauen ausgebildet und in seiner Form auch an das Profil der Patientenlagerfläche angepaßt sein, so daß er wenig Platz benötigt. Der Zubehöradapter kann ferner vollständig oder mindestens im Bereich des Bügels aus einem röntgenstrahlendurchlässigen Material wie beispielsweise kohlefaserverstärktem Kunststoff bestehen, so daß er nicht bei allen röntgenologischen Untersuchungen entfernt oder verschoben werden muß.In a preferred embodiment, the adapter has two for grasping the Longitudinal edges of the patient support surface certain claws, which is a through the width of the patient support surface extending bracket connected together are. This bracket can be integrally formed with the claws and in shape be adapted to the profile of the patient storage area, so that he little space needed. The accessory adapter may also be complete or at least in the range the temple of a radiolucent material such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic so that it is not at all X-ray examinations must be removed or moved.

Vorzugsweise sind an dem Zubehöradapter Feststellmittel vorgesehen, um ihn an einer Patientenlagerfläche in seiner gewünschten Position festzulegen und ein versehentliches Verrücken des Zubehörs relativ zum Patienten zu verhindern. Zweckmäßigerweise sind die Feststellmittel an mindestens einer der Klauen angeordnet, wo sie leicht bedient werden können. Um den Zubehöradapter an einer beliebigen Stelle der Patientenlagerfläche festlegen zu können, umfassen die Feststellmittel zweckmäßigerweise eine in eine Klauenöffnung eingreifende Klemmvorrichtung, die ein kraftschlüssiges Festlegen des Zubehöradapters ermöglicht. Die Klemmvorrichtung hat bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung eine zur' Anlage an einem Randstreifen der Patientenlagerfläche bestimmte Klemmschiene, die beweglich in der Klauenöffnung gelagert und durch ein Spannelement gegen den Randstreifen der Patientenlagerfläche andrückbar ist. Die Klemmschiene bildet ein relativ großflächiges Klemmelement, durch das die spezifische Flächenpressung der Patientenlagerfläche durch die Klemmvorrichtung verringert und damit eine Beschädigung der Patientenlagerfläche durch die Klemmvorrichtung vermieden wird. Preferably, locking means are provided on the accessory adapter to engage it a patient support surface in its desired position set and a prevent accidental dislocation of the accessory relative to the patient. Conveniently, the locking means on at least one of the claws arranged where they can be easily operated. To the accessory adapter to be able to determine any desired location of the patient support surface the locking means expediently engaging in a claw opening Clamping device, which is a force-locking fixing of the accessory adapter allows. The clamping device has in a preferred embodiment of Invention one for 'abutment on an edge strip of the patient support surface certain clamping rail, which is movably mounted in the mouth opening and through a clamping element against the edge strip of the patient support surface pressed is. The clamping rail forms a relatively large-area clamping element through which the specific surface pressure of the patient support surface by the Clamping reduces and thus damaging the Patient bearing surface is avoided by the clamping device.

Figur 1 zeigt einen allgemein mit 10 bezeichneten Operations- oder Untersuchungstisch mit einer Tischsäule 12 und einer allgemein mit 14 bezeichneten Patientenlagerfläche, die in einem an dem Kopf der Tischsäule 12 angeordneten Führungsgehäuse 16 in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles A in Figur 1, das heißt in ihrer Längsrichtung verschiebbar gelagert ist. Die Patientenlagerfläche besteht aus einer Tischplatte 18, auf der ein Polster 20 angeordnet ist. Die Tischplatte 18 ist aus einem röntgenstrahlendurchlässigen Material, beispielsweise kohlefaserverstärktem Kunststoff, hergestellt und hat ein trapezförmiges Profil, das sich nach unten hin verjüngt und dessen die Oberseite der Tischplatte 18 bildende Trapezgrundfläche durch die Längsränder der Tischplatte 18 bildende Randstreifen 22 nach außen verlängert ist. Auf das Profil der Tischplatte 18 ist ein allgemein mit 24 bezeichneter Zubehöradapter aufgeschoben, der nun anhand der Figuren 2 bis 4 näher erläutert werden soll.Figure 1 shows a generally designated 10 operation or Examination table with a table column 12 and a generally with 14 designated patient bearing surface, in a at the head of the table column 12th arranged guide housing 16 in the direction of the double arrow A in Figure 1, that is, is displaceably mounted in its longitudinal direction. The Patient support surface consists of a table top 18, on which a pad 20 is arranged. The table top 18 is made of a radiolucent Material, such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic, manufactured and has a trapezoidal profile that tapers down and the top the table top 18 forming Trapezgrundgrundfläche by the longitudinal edges of Table top 18 forming edge strips 22 is extended to the outside. On the profile the table top 18 is an accessory adapter, generally designated 24 postponed, which will now be explained in more detail with reference to Figures 2 to 4.

Der Zubehöradapter 24 besteht aus 2 Klauen 26, die durch einen Bügel 28 miteinander verbunden sind, wobei die Klauen 26 und der Bügel 28 einstückig hergestellt sind. Die Klauen 26 haben eine Klauenöffnung 30, in welche beim Aufschieben des Zubehöradapters auf die Tischplatte 18 jeweils ein Randstreifen 22 eingreift. Die Form des Bügels 28 ist an das trapezförmige Profil der Tischplatte 18 angepaßt, so daß der Bügel 28 dicht an der Unterseite der Tischplatte 18 verläuft, wenn der Zubehöradpater 24 auf die Tischplatte 18 aufgeschoben oder aufgesteckt wurde, wie dies Figur 1 zeigt. An der Außenseite der Klauen 26 ist jeweils eine Gleitschiene 32 mit Hilfe von Bolzen 34 befestigt. Die Gleitschiene 32 besteht aus Metall und hat das gleiche Profil, wie herkömmliche Gleitschienen an Operationstischplatten, so daß die üblichen Zubehörteile mit den üblichen Klemmvorrichtungen an den Gleitschienen 32 angesetzt werden können.The accessory adapter 24 consists of 2 jaws 26, which by a bracket 28 connected to each other, wherein the jaws 26 and the bracket 28 in one piece are made. The claws 26 have a claw opening 30, in which at Sliding the accessory adapter on the table top 18 each have an edge strip 22 engages. The shape of the bracket 28 is connected to the trapezoidal profile of Table 18 adapted so that the bracket 28 close to the bottom of the Table top 18 extends when the Zubehöradpater 24 on the table top 18th pushed or plugged, as shown in FIG. On the outside the claws 26 are each a slide rail 32 by means of bolts 34 attached. The slide rail 32 is made of metal and has the same profile as conventional slides on operating table tops, so that the usual Accessories with the usual clamping devices on the slide rails 32nd can be recognized.

Die Festlegung des Zubehöradapters 24 in einer gewünschten Position an der Tischplatte 18 erfolgt mit Hilfe von Klemmvorrichtungen, die in den Klauen 26 angeordnet sind. Jede Klemmvorrichtung umfaßt eine Klemmschiene 36, die sich in der jeweiligen Klauenöffnung 30 parallel zur Gleitschiene 32 erstreckt und zur Anlage an der Unterseite eines Randstreifens 22 der Tischplatte 18 bestimmt ist. Die Gleitschiene 36 hat zwei nach unten gerichtete Fortsätze 38 mit Bohrungen 40, in welche jeweils ein Bolzen 42 eingeschraubt werden kann, der seinerseits wieder in eine Aussparung 44 in dem Zubehöradapter 24 eingreift. Diese Aussparung 44 ist senkrecht zur Klemmfläche 46 der Klemmschiene 36 größer als der Durchmesser des Bolzens 42, so daß die Klemmschiene 36 sich senkrecht zu ihrer Klemmfläche 46 bewegen kann. Mit Hilfe einer in das Material der jeweiligen Klaue 26 eingeschraubten exzentrischen Klemm- oder Knebelschraube 48 kann die Klemmschiene 36 angehoben, das heißt mit ihrer Klemmfläche 46 gegen die Unterseite des jeweiligen Randstreifens 22 der jeweiligen Tischplatte 18 gespannt oder abgesenkt werden. Damit wird der Zubehöradapter 24 an der Tischplatte 18 festgeklemmt oder wieder gelöst. Wie man erkennt, ist die Achse der Klemmoder Knebelschraube 48 unter einem Winkel von circa 45° gegenüber der Ebene des mittleren Bügelabschnittes geneigt, so daß die Klemmschraube 48 bequem und ohne Behinderung durch die Gleitschiene 32 bedient werden kann.The attachment of the accessory adapter 24 in a desired position on the Table top 18 is carried out by means of clamping devices in the claws 26 are arranged. Each clamping device comprises a clamping rail 36 which extends in the respective mouth opening 30 extends parallel to the slide rail 32 and the Appendix on the underside of an edge strip 22 of the table top 18 is determined. The slide rail 36 has two downwardly directed extensions 38 with holes 40, in each of which a bolt 42 can be screwed, in turn engages again in a recess 44 in the accessory adapter 24. These Recess 44 is perpendicular to the clamping surface 46 of the clamping rail 36 is greater than the diameter of the bolt 42 so that the clamping rail 36 is perpendicular to can move their clamping surface 46. With the help of one in the material of each Claw 26 screwed eccentric clamp or toggle 48 can the clamping rail 36 is raised, that is, with its clamping surface 46 against the Underside of the respective edge strip 22 of the respective table top 18 stretched or lowered. Thus, the accessory adapter 24 on the table top 18th clamped or loosened again. As you can see, the axis is the Klemmoder Tommy screw 48 at an angle of approximately 45 ° to the plane the middle bracket portion inclined so that the clamping screw 48 comfortable and can be operated without hindrance by the slide rail 32.

Wenn die Patientenlagerfläche 14 in dem Führungsgehäuse 16 verschoben wird, um bestimmte Partien des Patienten durchleuchten zu können, kann der Zubehöradapter 24 entweder ganz von der Patientenlagerfläche 14 abgenommen oder aber beispielsweise an das Führungsgehäuse 16 herangeschoben werden, wo er die röntgenologischen Untersuchungen nicht behindert. Es versteht sich, daß bei einem Operationstisch gemäß Figur 1 beispielsweise auch zwei derartige Zubehöradapter 24 vorgesehen sein können, beispielsweise jeweils einer auf jeder Seite des Führungsgehäuses 16. When the patient support surface 14 is displaced in the guide housing 16, to be able to illuminate certain areas of the patient, the Accessory adapter 24 either completely removed from the patient support surface 14 or, for example, be pushed up to the guide housing 16, where he does not interfere with radiographic examinations. It goes without saying that in an operating table according to Figure 1, for example, two such Accessory adapter 24 may be provided, for example, each one on each side of the guide housing 16.

In Figur 4 erkennt man, daß die Klemmschienen 36 nach beiden Seiten über die Klauen 26 des Zubehöradapters 28 hinausragen. Diese überstehenden Abschnitte der Klemmschiene 36 können als Schaltleisten verwendet werden, die bei Annäherung des Zubehöradapters 24 an das Führungsgehäuse 16 einen nicht dargestellten End-Schalter betätigen, um den Antrieb für die Verstellung der Lagerfläche 14 abzuschalten und damit eine mögliche Kollision zwischen dem Führungsgehäuse und dem Zubehöradapter 24 zu verhindern.In Figure 4 it can be seen that the clamping rails 36 to both sides on the Claws 26 of the accessory adapter 28 protrude. This supernatant Sections of the clamping rail 36 may be used as switching strips, the upon approach of the accessory adapter 24 to the guide housing 16 a not shown end switch to the drive for the adjustment of Shut off bearing surface 14 and thus a possible collision between the Guide housing and the accessory adapter 24 to prevent.

Man erkennt, daß bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Zubehöradapter um die Längsachse der Gleitschiene wirkende Momente aufgrund schwerer Zubehörteile durch die brückenförmige Verbindung der beiden Klauen des Zubehöradapters auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Adapters abgestützt werden. Dadurch wird die lokale Belastung des Lagerflächenprofils auf größere Flächenbereiche verteilt und reduziert. Die formschlüssige Verbindung des Zubehöradapters mit der Lagerfläche verhindert ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen des Zubehörs, wodurch sich die Gefährdung des Patienten durch herabfallendes Zubehör vermeiden läßt.It can be seen that in the accessory adapter according to the invention to the Longitudinal axis of the slide acting moments due to heavy accessories through the bridge-shaped connection of the two claws of the accessory adapter be supported on the opposite side of the adapter. This will the local load of the bearing surface profile is distributed over larger surface areas and reduced. The positive connection of the accessory adapter with the Storage area prevents unintentional release of the accessories, resulting in avoid the danger to the patient by falling down accessories.
