Vorzugsweise ist die zumindest eine Ausnehmung jedoch wenigstens im Wesentlichen mittig bezüglich einer Quererstreckung des zumindest einen Auflageelements angeordnet. Eine erste seitliche Begrenzung der zumindest einen Ausnehmung weist vorzugsweise zu einer ersten seitlichen Randkante des zumindest einen Auflageelements einen wenigstens im Wesentlichen gleichen Abstand auf wie eine zweite seitliche Begrenzung der zumindest einen Ausnehmung zu einer zweiten seitlichen Randkante des zumindest einen Auflageelements, die insbesondere der ersten seitlichen Randkante in der Querrichtung gegenüberliegend angeordnet ist. Unter zwei "wenigstens im Wesentlichen" gleichen Abständen sollen insbesondere zwei Abstände verstanden werden, deren Beträge sich um weniger als 25 %, insbesondere um weniger als 15 % und vorteilhaft um weniger als 10 % eines Werts eines größeren der Beträge unterscheiden. Dadurch kann insbesondere eine im Wesentlichen gleich große Auflagefläche für beide Beine eines Patienten erreicht werden, wodurch dieser insbesondere eine natürliche Liegeposition einnehmen kann.With regard to the transverse direction, any arrangements of the at least one recess that appear meaningful to a person skilled in the art are conceivable. For example, the at least one recess could adjoin a peripheral edge of the at least one support element which is lateral, in particular with respect to the transverse direction.

In this case, for example, screw connections are conceivable. Preferably, however, the connection unit is provided for releasably connecting the at least one support element and the transport unit, in particular without tools. In this case, in particular a connection by means of at least one clamping connection, at least one latching connection and / or at least one locking is conceivable.

In einer alternativen Ausgestaltung ist denkbar, dass eine Patientenauflageeinheit zumindest zwei Auflageelemente umfasst, welche relativ zueinander verschwenkbar, insbesondere klappbar, sind, welche jedoch insbesondere jedes für sich genommen aus einem im Wesentlichen steifen Material besteht.

Das Auflageelement 12b begrenzt die Ausnehmung 16b bei Betrachtung in einer Draufsicht von drei Seiten. Die Ausnehmung 16b schließt sich in dem Beinbereich 18a an eine Begrenzung des Auflageelements 12b an. Ausgehend von einem unteren Ende der Auflagefläche 14b erstreckt sich die Ausnehmung 16b über im Wesentlichen 22 % der Längserstreckung 22b des Auflageelements 12b. Die Ausnehmung 16b erstreckt sich über im Wesentlichen 32 % der Quererstreckung 24b des Auflageelements 12b. Bezüglich der Quererstreckung 24b des Auflageelements 12b ist die Ausnehmung 16b im Wesentlichen mittig angeordnet. Hierbei ist das Auflageelement 12b symmetrisch bezüglich einer im Wesentlichen mittig und im Wesentlichen senkrecht auf die Auflagefläche 14b verlaufenden Symmetrieebene ausgebildet.The
Die Ausnehmung 16c ist zu einer Aufnahme eines Geräts 20c vorgesehen (vgl.
Das Gerät 20c wird durch eine Halterung 48 getragen. Die Halterung 48 ist längsverschiebbar ausgebildet. In dem montierten Zustand greift die Halterung 48 durch die Ausnehmung 16c hindurch. Die Halterung 48 ist als Rohrkonstruktion ausgebildet, Hierbei ist die Halterung 48 teleskopartig ausgebildet. Hierbei weist die Halterung 48 ein äußeres Rohr 50 und ein inneres Rohr 52 auf, wobei das innere Rohr 52 in dem äußeren Rohr 50 verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Die Halterung 48 weist ein Basisrohr 54 auf, das zu einer Aufnahme des äußeren Rohrs 50 und des inneren Rohrs 52 vorgesehen ist. Das äußere Rohr 50 und das innere Rohr 52 sind in dem Basisrohr verschiebbar angeordnet. Hierdurch könnte eine Position des Geräts 20c beispielsweise in einer senkrecht zu der Auflagefläche 14c ausgerichteten Richtung verändert werden.The
An einem in dem montierten Zustand oberhalb der Ausnehmung 16c angeordneten Ende des Basisrohrs 54 weist die Halterung 48 ein Gelenk 56 auf. Das Basisrohr 54 und das äußere Rohr 50 sind mittels eines Gelenks 56 miteinander verbunden. Das Gelenk 56 ist zu einer Schwenkbewegung des äußeren Rohrs 50 relativ zu dem Basisrohr 54 vorgesehen. Das Gelenk 56 ist als ein Kugelgelenk ausgebildet.
