Support apparatus
First Claim
1. A support apparatus for the support of a patient lying in the lateral position at the pelvis having a plurality of support rods (11), in particular precisely three support rods (11), which each have a known pre-determined length and which are attached adjustably relative to one another to a common support frame (13, 15) such that different spatial configurations of the probe ends (17) of the support rods (11) facing the patient can be set in use in order to make the spatial position of the support points at which the support rods (11) are supported when used on the patient detectable via the free ends (33) of the support rods (11) opposite to the probe ends (17) and serving as detection ends.

Abstract
The invention relates to a support apparatus for the support of a patient lying in the lateral position at the pelvis having a plurality of support rods, in particular precisely three support rods, which each have a known pre-determined length and which are attached adjustably relative to one another to a common support frame such that different spatial configurations of the probe ends of the support rods facing the patient can be set in use in order to make the spatial position of the support points at which the support rods are supported when used on the patient detectable via the free ends of the support rods opposite to the probe ends and serving as detection ends.

- 1. A support apparatus for the support of a patient lying in the lateral position at the pelvis having a plurality of support rods (11), in particular precisely three support rods (11), which each have a known pre-determined length and which are attached adjustably relative to one another to a common support frame (13, 15) such that different spatial configurations of the probe ends (17) of the support rods (11) facing the patient can be set in use in order to make the spatial position of the support points at which the support rods (11) are supported when used on the patient detectable via the free ends (33) of the support rods (11) opposite to the probe ends (17) and serving as detection ends.
- 17. An operating table having a support surface for a patient and having at least one support apparatus for the support of the patient lying in the lateral position at the pelvis, the support apparatus having a plurality of support rods (11), in particular precisely three support rods (11), which each have a known pre-determined length and which are attached adjustably relative to one another to a common support frame (13, 15) such that different spatial configurations of the probe ends (17) of the support rods (11) facing the patient can be set in use in order to make the spatial position of the support points at which the support rods (11) are supported when used on the patient detectable via the free ends (33) of the support rods (11) opposite to the probe ends (17) and serving as detection ends.

24. An operating system having at least one support apparatus for the support of a patient lying in the lateral position at the pelvis having a plurality of support rods (11), in particular precisely three support rods (11), which each have a known pre-determined length and which are attached adjustably relative to one another to a common support frame (13, 15) such that different spatial configurations of the probe ends (17) of the support rods (11) facing the patient can be set in use in order to make the spatial position of the support points at which the support rods (11) are supported when used on the patient detectable via the free ends (33) of the support rods (11) opposite to the probe ends (17) and serving as detection ends, the operating system further having a detection device for the determination of the spatial position of the pelvis of the patient via the detection ends (33) of the support rods (11) of the support apparatus, with the detection device having a probe device with a probe by means of which the detection ends (33) of the support rods (11) can be probed, and having an indication device which includes a transmitter, a receiver and an evaluation unit and by means of which the spatial position of at least one probe tip of the probe, in particular additionally the spatial position of an axis extending through the probe tip, can be determined via electromagnetic radiation, in particular via infrared radiation, transmitted via the transmitter, reflected from the probe and received by means of the receiver.
