Abstract
The invention relates to a ceiling mount for an X-ray radiator comprising a carriage carrying said X-ray radiator, the carriage being displaceably guided in rails. For the purpose of locking the carriage, a friction block motor-displaceable perpendicular to the rail direction is attached to the carriage, this friction block being secured to a holder resiliently seated perpendicular to the rail. The holder comprises a latch facing the rail which interacts with corresponding latches on the rail of the carriage. The holder is thereby adjustable in three positions. In the first position, free mobility of the carriage is possible; in the second position, a resilient latching ensues when the latches on the rail are traversed; and in the third position, the friction block is pressed against the rail for locking the position of the carriage.
