A device for winding and unwinding lines has at least two rotatable drums onto which at least one line can be wound and from which at least one line can be unwound respectively, and a transmission connecting the drums such that one line is wound onto one drum when the other line is unwound from the other drum. An apparatus equipped with such a device allows one apparatus part to move relative to another apparatus part while winding/unwinding of the lines takes place.

A medical apparatus has a carrying device for at least one component, wherein the carrying device is adjustable relative to a holding mechanism and is formed of plastic. Rollers at least partly formed of plastic are provided for the adjustment of the carrying device relative to the holding mechanism, the carrying device being seated on these rollers and these rollers running directly on a plastic surface of the carrying device.

An apparatus for winding and unwinding cables has at least two rotatable drums. At least one cable can be wound onto or unwound from each of these drums. The drums are connected by a coupling linkage such that both the drums either wind or unwind the respective cables simultaneously. An arrangement cooperating with the coupling linkage effects winding of the unwound cables.

A medical system with adjustable, movable components that can be set by disengageable brakes, in particular an X-ray diagnostic apparatus with a C-arm that can be adjusted in the height of its orbital position and angulation and that carries an X-ray source and a beam receiver at its ends, has a sterilizeable handle that can be plugged in various positions, with a plug lock. A disengage button for the system brakes is arranged on the handle, which can be engaged with switching apparatuses in the system upon plugging the handle into a component of the system. The button can then be operated for actuating and disengaging the brakes.

A medical apparatus has a C-arm which carries a radiation transmitter, and which is adjustably held by a mount so as to be movable along the circumference of the C-arm. The mount engages guideways which are provided at a rear side of the C-arm. The C-arm is in the form of a hollow, profiled part having a substantially U-shaped cross-section. The guideways are respectively disposed at the insides of the legs of the U-shaped cross-section. The C-arm has an interior channel therein with a rectangular cross-section, which is adapted for accepting electrical leads or supply lines for the radiation transmitter. The channel is laterally adjacent one leg of the U-shaped cross-section.

A light distributor for an x-ray diagnostics installation has mirror-symmetrically disposed sets of light exit ports at a housing, which are adapted for connection to various different image recording components. Inside the housing, a mirror system is provided which can be arranged in a first position or a second position. When the system is arranged in the first position, light is directed from an input port of the light distributor to a first of the sets of light exit ports in the housing. When the mirror system is arranged in the second position, light from the input port is directed to a second of the sets of light exit ports. The mirror system can be changed between the first and second positions by a simple manual operation, using the same mirrors and the same mirror mounts, which are interchangeably accepted in a single set of mounting locations in the housing.

Light distributor for an X-ray diagnostics installation

A light distributor for use in an X-ray diagnostics installation wherein a light image corresponding to an X-ray image is generated by an X-ray image intensifier, and the light image is to be recorded using a number of different image recorders as a housing with input optics facing toward the X-ray image intensifier for generating a parallel light beam path, and has at least two movable mirror surfaces secured flat on a carriage. The carriage and mirror surfaces are arangement obliquely in a plane which is parallel to the beam path, and the carriage is displaceable along guides within this plane so that one of the mirror surfaces can be laterally moved into the beam path to deflect the light from the image intensifier onto a desired image recorder. At least one of the mirror surfaces is partially reflecting.
