A stretcher includes an elongated base having a head end and a foot end, a plurality of floor-engaging casters rotatably mounted to the base, a radiolucent upper deck, head and foot end hydraulic cylinders coupled to the base adjacent to the head and foot ends thereof, and head and foot end connectors for coupling the head and foot end hydraulic cylinders to the head and foot ends of the upper deck. The head and foot end connectors secure the upper deck to the base while allowing (a) movement of the upper deck between a low position and a high position, (aa) translation of the upper deck toward the foot end of the base, and (aaa) rotation of the upper deck to a Trendelenberg position or to a reverse Trendelenberg position. The head end and foot end hydraulic cylinders are spaced apart to define a central imaging region above the base between the hydraulic cylinders which is free of structure that would interfere with imaging. |

A carriage is provided with castors, a power driven wheel at one end of the carriage, a support element supporting the wheel and a raising and lowering mechanism for raising the support element and thus the wheel out of engagement with the ground and for lowering the support element and thus the wheel into engagement with the ground. The support element is angularly displaceable about a vertical axis to turn the wheel to steer the carriage when the power driven wheel is in engagement with the ground. A locking device is also provided for releasably locking a castor at the other end of the carriage in a position in which it will encourage the carriage to move in a straight ahead direction when the power driven wheel is in engagement with the ground. The carriage may be in the form of an invalid hoist, shopping trolley or bed. |

A transport carriage for transporting an operating table (20) including a support column (18) and a table plate (26) removable from the support column has a movable chassis (10) and two supporting spars (24) intended to support the table plate. The supporting spars are arranged in spaced parallel relationship to one another on the movable chassis (10) in such a way that they are capable of being brought into a supporting position with the table plate (26) at which they are located on opposite sides of the support column. The transport carriage is further equipped with supporting elements (28,30) for engagement with the support column of the operating table and located on both sides of the intermediate space between the supporting spars (28). These supporting elements are each movable between a supporting position in which it underlies a part fixed to the support column (32) and a free position. Moreover, the two supporting elements (28,30) located on opposite sides of the intermediate space are so connected to one another that upon adjustment of one of them the other is adjusted to the same position. |
