A structure providing a patient support surface is transferable between a stationery support column and a wheeled transport carriage with the transport carriage, the support column and the support surface providing structure having connecting parts which cooperate to securely hold the structure to the transfer carriage or to the support column when the structure is mounted on the transfer carriage or the support column, the connecting parts during transfer of the structure from the transfer carriage to a support column, or vice versa, being automatically moved between latched and unlatched conditions to allow the transfer to occur and having security features preventing the patient support surface providing structure from being inadvertently unfastened from both the support column and the transport carriage during a transfer procedure.

Mobile patient support system

In an apparatus for shifting patients and having a mobile frame supported on rollers, a cantilevered platform arranged on the frame, and a transport band (44) which is movable by means of a drive mechanism in both directions and which proceeding from a first winding roll supported in the frame extends over the upper side of the platform, around the free longitudinal edge of the platform and along the bottom side of the platform to a second winding roll supported in the frame and onto which it is windable, both winding rolls (26, 28) are constantly coupled with the drive mechanism (68, 70, 72) with rotary play being provided between each winding roll (26, 28) and the drive mechanism (68, 70, 72). Each winding roll (26, 28) can be biased in its winding direction.
