ABSTRACT:
What is described is a joint arrangement for the articulated connection of two segments of a patient bed, with two joint parts (36, 38), each of which is connected rigidly to one of the segments and which are pivotable relative to one another about a common joint axis (64) by means of a shaft journal (46), the joint parts (36, 38) carrying, in each case on at least one of their faces confronting one another axially, blocking faces (60) intended for bearing against one another, and the joint parts (36, 38) being capable of being tensioned axially relative to one another by means of a tensioning mechanism (46, 54, 50), and the blocking faces (60) lying in each case at least approximately in a plane containing the joint axis (64).
