First Claim
Patent Images
1. A patient positioning device comprising:
- a patient support;
a movement device;
a pivoting device connecting the patient support to the movement device;
wherein the movement device is configured to move the patient support by enabling translational movements of the patient support in directions of the three spatial axes (x, y, z) of a coordinate system and rotational movements of the patient support about the three spatial axes (x, y, z);
wherein the pivoting device is configured to enable a pivot movement of the patient support relative to the movement device about a horizontal pivot axis.

Abstract
A patient positioning device is provided with a patient support, a movement device, and a pivoting device connecting the patient support to the movement device. The movement device moves the patient support by enabling translational movements of the patient support in directions of the three spatial axes x, y, z of a coordinate system and rotational movements of the patient support about the three spatial axes x, y, z. The pivoting device enables a pivot movement of the patient support relative to the movement device about a horizontal pivot axis. The movement device is preferably a robot arm.

13. A patient positioning device comprising:
-
a robot arm configured to move a patient support by enabling translational movements of the patient support in directions of the three spatial axes (x, y, z) of a coordinate system and rotational movements of the patient support about the three spatial axes (x, y, z); wherein the robot arm comprises a base frame and a carousel pivotably supported about a first rotational movement axis on the base frame; wherein the robot arm further comprises a linkage that is pivotably supported relative to the carousel about a second rotational movement axis; wherein the robot arm further comprises an arm section that relative to the linkage is pivotably supported about a third rotational movement axis that is horizontally arranged; wherein the robot arm further comprises an intermediate section, wherein the intermediate sections secures the arm section on the linkage; wherein the intermediate section is pivotably supported on the linkage about the third rotational movement axis; and wherein the robot arm further comprises a hand section that enables movements of the patient support about the three spatial axes. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
