In a patient bed for an operating table, comprising a plurality of bed portions ( 18, 32, 70, 72 ), of which a middle portion ( 18 ) is designed for connection to the supporting column of the operating table and which are coupled releasably to one another via interfaces ( 30, 68 ), at least one bed portion ( 70, 72 ) being adjustable in relation to an adjacent bed portion ( 32 ) in the region of an interface ( 68 ), the middle portion ( 18 ) of the bed ( 16 ) is connectable at at least one of its ends, via a first interface ( 30 ), to the one end of an intermediate portion ( 32 ) which is connectable at its other end, via a second interface ( 68 ), to a further bed portion ( 70, 72 ), the first interface ( 30 ) having two first coupling elements ( 34, 36 ) which engage positively one in the other for a rigid connection and which have transmission elements coming into contact with one another during interengagement and intended for the transmission of signals and/or energy, and the second interface ( 68 ) comprising two second coupling elements which are intended for positive engagement with one another and of which the second coupling element ( 74 ) arranged on the intermediate portion ( 32 ) can be adjusted, by means of an actuating drive arranged on the intermediate portion, about an axis parallel to the bed plane and perpendicular to the bed longitudinal direction. |
