ABSTRACT:
A support column for holding a patient support means of an operating table has a foot portion (18) and a head portion (46), which head portion is adapted for connection with the patient support means and by means of an adjusting mechanism located inside of the support column is adjustable relative to the foot portion (18) and pivotal about horizontal axes. The adjusting mechanism includes a lifting column standing on the foot portion (18), which lifting column at its upper end is connected with a lifting mount (30,32,34) carrying a number of linear drives (36) arranged parallel to the lifting column (20). Each linear drive at one of its ends is cardanically connected to the lifting mount (30,32,34) and at its other end is cardanically connected to the head portion (46), with the head portion (46) through at least one other cardanic joint (48) being connected with the lifting mount (30,32,34). The lifting column (20) is made to be nonrotatable, and it and the three linear drives (36) are--in plan view--arranged at least nearly at the corners of a rectangle, the head portion (46) being connected through a further cardanic joint (48), located nearly at the intersection point of the diagonals of the rectangle with a guide element (50), vertically adjustably but nonrotatably guided on the lifting mount (30,32,34).
