Abstract
A device for the examination of persons including a medical examination device (11) having an examination volume (12), a support (1) for a person to be examined, and a drive assembly (3) for displacing the support in a displacement direction in such a manner, that a person to be examined present on the support is displaced into and out of the examination volume. The drive assembly includes a gear-wheel (7), which is driven by a driving device (5, 8) and co-operates with a toothed rack (4) mounted to the support for displacing the toothed rack relative to the gear-wheel in the driven state of the gear-wheel. The drive assembly includes an auxiliary moving assembly (6, 9) for displacing the gear-wheel in its driven state in the displacement direction with a speed which is lower than the speed of support.
