Claim 14:
15. A base structure for supporting a patient support frame an adjustable height above a floor, the base structure comprising:
an end support structure supported on the floor at a lower end, the end support structure comprising an upper end opposite the lower end;
a rotation block supported at the upper end, the rotation block rotatably affixed with the upper end of the end support structure and comprising a first coupling mechanism on one side of the rotation block and a second coupling mechanism on an opposite side thereof, the second coupling mechanism being closer to the lower end of the end support structure than the first coupling mechanism, each of the first and second coupling mechanisms comprising at least one spring loaded locking assembly; and
a connecting member for releasable attachment to the rotation block comprising a first connection end and a second connection end opposite the first connection end, the first connection end configured to releasably rotatably couple with the rotation block at the second coupling mechanism via engagement with the at least one spring loaded locking assembly configured to capture and prevent inadvertent disengagement of the first connection end with the rotation block, the first connection end configured to releasably rotatably couple with the rotation block at the second coupling mechanism via the at least one spring loaded locking assembly when the second coupling mechanism is closer to the lower end of the end support structure than the first coupling mechanism, wherein the connecting member is then releasably couplable with an outer end of the patient support frame between the first and second connection ends of the connecting member at an adjustable height therebetween with respect to the floor.
