Abstract
In the illustrated embodiment, a single counterweight suspended on a traction cable compensates a plurality of differently moving apparatus parts and is of significantly lesser weight than corresponds to the sum of weights of the compensated apparatus parts. The cable is shown as coupled with the sighting device beneath the patient's support as well as with the carrier column for the X-ray tube while yet being operable to simultaneously compensate the torque of the carrier column in different orientations of the patient support, including a vertical disposition.
