A patient support system comprises an operating table 1, a patient transporter 40 and a table top 10 that can be moved from the transporter 40 to the pedestal 3 of the table. A platform 4 at the top of the pedestal 3 has a lateral hinge 7 and two hydraulically-operated locks 11 and 12 located at the hinge, which engage with the table top. The table top 10 carries four secondary locks 31 to 34 that are operated by actuators 70 to 73 in the platform 4 to cause the locks to engage or disengage the transporter 40. Lock sensors 19, 20, 75 and 76 cause the platform 4 to move when they detect incomplete engagement of the locks 11, 12, 31 to 34. |
