Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fixing metal fitting for an operating table used when a member, an instrument or the like is mounted in any position on an accessory attachment rail along the operating table.
  • a subject and an operating table are covered with a clean sheet or the like during surgical operation. It was, therefore, difficult to mount a conventional fixing metal fitting over a sheet or the like in such a case.
  • a type of fixing metal fitting capable of fixing over a sheet or the like was thereafter developed. However, fixing of the fixing metal fitting on an accessory attachment rail and fixing between the fixing metal fitting and an appliance to be fixed were performed separately from each other. A considerably long time was required for mounting, and the fixing metal fitting, the accessory attachment table and the appliance to be fixed were not firmly fixed and stabilized.
  • a fixing metal fitting was also developed in which, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,535,973, an accessory attachment rail was pinched between upper and lower arms and a flat plate; a knob was fastened to reduce the distance between left and right arms and the flat plate; and the fixing metal fitting and an appliance to be fixed are were simultaneously fixed on an accessory attachment rail by the pressure of the fastening.
  • the force for fixing to the accessory attachment rail varied depending on the thickness of a sheet or the like, and it was difficult to obtain a sufficient and stable fixing force.
  • an object of the present invention to provide a universal fixing metal fitting for an operating table capable of being easily attached and detached, capable of enabling simultaneous firm fixing between the fixing metal fitting, an appliance to be fixed, and an accessory attachment table by performing fastening one time regardless of the existence/nonexistence of a sheet or the like, capable of ensuring the same firm fixing even when the shape of the accessory attachment table is changed and capable of fixing no matter what the shape of the appliance to be fixed is.
