DEVICE FOR THE ROTATABLE MOUNTING OF AT LEAST ONE MEDICAL APPARATUS ON A BASE AND METHOD FOR BRAKING AND/OR ARRESTING A ROTARY UNIT OF THE DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a device (10, 38) for rotatably mounting at least one medical apparatus on a floor. The device (10, 38) comprises a floor unit (12) which can be firmly connected to the floor and a rotary unit (16) which is connected to the floor unit (12) rotatably relative thereto via at least one bearing unit (14). Further, the device (10, 38) comprises at least one locking element (24, 26) firmly connected to the rotary unit (16) for slowing down and for locking the rotary unit (16). The locking element (24, 26) presses in a braking state against the floor unit (12) for lifting the rotary unit (16), wherein, as a result of the lifting, the contact area of the rotary unit (16) contacts a contact area of the floor unit (12) for producing a braking torque. The invention further relates to a method for slowing down and/or locking the rotary unit (16) of the device (10, 38).
