Head support for operating tables

摘要

The invention relates to a head support (10, 100) for operating tables, comprising a rotatably mounted first holding element (12) for surrounding a first side of a patient's head receivable in a receiving area (32) and an also rotatably mounted second holding element (14) for surrounding a second side of the head. The two holding elements (12, 14) are coupled to each other in a coupling area by means of a coupling element (16) such that when one of the holding elements (12, 14) is rotated, the coupling element (16) also rotates the other holding element (12, 14). Between the coupling area and the receiving area (32) a stationarily arranged supporting element (33) for supporting the head receivable in the receiving area (32) is provided.

1. A head support for operating tables, comprising:
a first holding element rotatably mounted about a first axis of rotation for surrounding a first side of a patient's head receivable in a receiving area of the head support; and a second holding element rotatably mounted about a second axis of rotation for surrounding a second side of the patient's head; wherein the first holding element and the second holding element are coupled to each other in a coupling area by at least one coupling element such that when one of the holding elements is rotated, the coupling element also synchronously rotates the other holding element, the actuation of one of the holding elements causing a synchronous opening or closing of both the first and second holding elements; wherein a stationarily arranged supporting element for supporting the head receivable in the receiving area is provided between the coupling area and the receiving area; and wherein the synchronous opening or closing is caused by the first holding element meshing directly with the second holding element.
