DOCKING MEANS FOR MEDICAL SYSTEM COMPRISING EXAMINATION DEVICE AND PATIENT SUPPORT DEVICE

摘要

A medical system for examination of a patient, comprising an examination device (1), a patient support device (13,15), and docking means for connecting both said devices to each other. The docking means comprises a first part (21) provided with a guiding member (57) and a second part (19) provided with guiding elements (61,63) for contacting the guiding surface (59). Each of said parts (19,21) is attached to one of said devices. The guiding member (57) comprises two substantially vertical guiding surfaces (59), positioned symmetrically with respect to a vertical plane through the device (1) to which the first part (21) of the docking means is attached. The distance between said two guiding surfaces (59) decreases further away from the device (1) to which said first part (21) is attached.
