Abstract
In a transport carriage for the patient-bearing surface of an operating table, comprising a chassis (), two supports () which are arranged thereon and each have at their upper ends an interface () for connecting to a complementary interface on the patient-bearing surface, and a lifting device () for adjusting the height of the interfaces () relative to the chassis (), the supports () are carried by a pivoting frame () which is mounted on the chassis () so as to be able to pivot about a horizontal pivot axis () and is adjustable by means of the lifting device (), the supports () each being connected to the pivoting frame () by a joint () having a joint axis () parallel to the pivot axis () and each being guided on a guide path (), which is secured to the chassis, in each case set vertically apart from the joint () by means of a roller () having a roller axis () parallel to the pivot axis, in such a way that a line (), which runs through the joint axis () and the roller axis () perpendicularly to said supports, remains vertical on the adjustment of the pivoting frame ().
