Patent ID: 10111797

Abstract:
A device for height adjustment of an operating table, including a lifting carriage which is movable relative to a chassis of the operating table, including a primary guide having a first longitudinal axis about which the lifting carriage is rotatable, including a secondary guide having a second longitudinal axis, and including a guide means which is connected to the chassis of the operating table and which has a contact area in which the guide means contacts the secondary guide in a contact area of the secondary guide. The primary guide and the secondary guide serve for guiding a lifting motion of the lifting carriage within an adjustment range of the lifting carriage parallel to the first longitudinal axis, wherein a plane extending perpendicular to the first longitudinal axis and through the guide means has a first point of intersection with the first longitudinal axis and a second point of intersection with the second longitudinal axis, and wherein the position of the second point of intersection changes by a displacement distance during the lifting motion of the lifting carriage within the adjustment range thereof.
