Abstract
A supply unit with a structural-tubing-type supply beam fastened to a ceiling with supply lines and with a carriage displaceable along the supply beam with a support device for medical treatment instruments. The line routing of the supply lines is extensively hidden, without the displaceability of the carriage being reduced. The supply lines are guided freely displaceably in the form of a loop within the supply beam, and they are deflected via a tube guide to the support device, and that partial lengths L.sub.1 and L .sub.2 of the supply lines within the supply beam are selected to be such that they correspond to a predetermined movement of the carriage.
