Abstract

A patient supporting table comprises a table top detachably mounted on one side in a cantilevered fashion to an upper part of an height-adjustable pedestal. The upper part is connected to the upper member of a telescoping column by a pivotal connection which allows pivoting around a horizontal shaft which lies close to one edge of the column and preferably at the foot end of the table. This pivotal movement allows easy access to the interior of the pedestal for servicing purposes.
