Patent attributes
In a patient bed system, comprising a patient bed, a support column for supporting the bed and a trolley for transporting the bed, the bed having arranged on it first coupling elements (22) which are intended for selective connection to second or third coupling elements (24, 26) on the support column and on the trolley respectively, the first coupling elements (22) have in each case an outer contour (38) and a clearance (40) with an inner contour (42), the second or the third coupling elements (24, 26) being designed in each case as guide tenons which have an outer contour (58) adapted to the inner contour (42) of the clearance (40) of the first coupling elements (22) and which are intended for engagement into the clearance (40), and the third or the second coupling elements (26, 24) having in each case a clearance intended for receiving a first coupling element (22) and having an inner contour (50) adapted to the outer contour (38) of the first coupling elements (22).
