Abstract:
1. A device for releasable mounting of an accessory on an operating table, comprising: two coupling parts which can be connected to each other, a first one of which is arranged on the accessory and a second one of which is arranged on the operating table, and a mechanism for locking and unlocking the connection between the two coupling parts, characterized in that the mechanism comprises: a first locking element arranged at the first coupling part and a second locking element arranged at the second coupling part, which can be engaged with one another for locking and be disengaged from one another for unlocking, a manually actuatable unlocking element movably arranged at the first coupling part, wherein the unlocking element is biased into a locking position by a second biasing element and can be moved against the second biasing elements into an unlocking position in which it acts on one of the two locking elements such that the two locking elements are disengaged from one another, a catch element which is movably arranged at the first coupling part and keeps the unlocking element in its unlocking position against the second biasing element, and a release element movably arranged at the first coupling part and biased into a first position by a fourth biasing element and is acted upon by the second coupling part when the coupling parts are connected to each other and is pushed into a second position against the fourth biasing element, the release element acting on the catch element in its first position such that the catch element is disengaged form the unlocking element.
