Abstract
A floor lock system for supporting a surgery table having a patient support surface supported by a base member and defining a longitudinal axis. The system includes first and second primary lock members located on laterally opposite sides of the longitudinal axis for the base member. A third primary lock member is located generally along the longitudinal axis and the first and second secondary lock members are located on laterally opposite sides of the longitudinal axis. The primary lock members are actuated by first actuators for movement toward a floor surface with a first force and the secondary lock members are actuated by second actuators for movement toward the floor surface with a second force less than the first force.
