Image Number 2 for United States Patent #4657235.
A patient's table for X-ray examinations and radiotherapy includes a couch plate which is guided with longitudinal sliding mobility on a column. In order to obtain precise guidance and low sag of the couch plate in all positions, an intermediate support is included which is arranged at the side on a bar beneath the couch plate. A continuous belt revolving in the intermediate support establishes a mechanical and electrical connection between the guide pedestal and the couch plate and always entrains the intermediate support beneath the couch plate and serves as a prolonged base for the absorption of the changing moments between the couch plate and the guide pedestal.
