SLIDING LOAD HOLDER WITH A TELESCOPIC STRUCTURE AND X-RAY APPARATUS PROVIDED WITH SUCH A SLIDING LOAD HOLDER

摘要

A compact load-bearing slide assembly, especially for use in an X-ray installation. This assembly substantially comprises two supports 1, 3, the second of said supports 3 bearing the load. The two supports are coupled laterally by a median carriage 2. The assembly is able to be extended telescopically under the action of first actuating means 9 moving the carriage with respect to the first support, and second actuating means 13 moving the second support with respect to the carriage. The novel slide assembly is especially advantageous when used for cardiovascular X-ray examination.
