ABSTRACT:
Medical apparatus includes a stand with an approximately L-shaped arm having a first portion (1) and a second portion (3) which extends approximately perpendicularly to the first portion and a free end of which supports at least one medical apparatus (7, 9). The first portion (1) has a free end which is connected, to, for example a floor (13) of an examination space via, a bearing (17), in such a manner that it can be rotated from a neutral position in opposite directions through an angle of .DELTA. radians in a plane of rotation parallel to the floor. A bundle of cables (21) extends from a space (19) at the side of the floor (13) which is remote from the examination space to parts of the device. The bundle of cables (21) is shaped approximately as a flat ribbon having a largest thickness t equal to the thickness of the thickest cable and a width w equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the cables. The bundle (21) extends to the free end of the second portion via an opening (25) in the floor (13) at the area of the bearing (17) and a cavity (29) formed in the arm (1, 3) and extending over the entire length of the arm. The cavity (29) has an approximately rectangular cross-section with a width which equals at least w and a height which equals at least t, the width direction of the cavity in the first portion (1) of the arm extending substantially parallel to the floor surface. The cables of the bundle (21) are secured in a first cable holder (23) which is situated at the side of the bearing (17) which is remote from the second portion (3) of the arm and which defines the positions of the cables relative to one another. At the area of the transition between the first portion (1) and the second portion (3) of the arm there is provided a protrusion (31), so that the height of the cavity (29) in the second portion of the arm locally equals at least t+.alpha.w.
