Abstract
A transport carriage for transporting an operating table (20) including a support column (18) and a table plate (26) removable from the support column has a movable chassis (10) and two supporting spars (24) intended to support the table plate. The supporting spars are arranged in spaced parallel relationship to one another on the movable chassis (10) in such a way that they are capable of being brought into a supporting position with the table plate (26) at which they are located on opposite sides of the support column. The transport carriage is further equipped with supporting elements (28,30) for engagement with the support column of the operating table and located on both sides of the intermediate space between the supporting spars (28). These supporting elements are each movable between a supporting position in which it underlies a part fixed to the support column (32) and a free position. Moreover, the two supporting elements (28,30) located on opposite sides of the intermediate space are so connected to one another that upon adjustment of one of them the other is adjusted to the same position.
