Fixture for spatial positioning of a device
First Claim
1. A system for spatial positioning of a medical device that is supported in a pivoting arrangement on a holding device, the system comprising:
- an arm comprising a free end;
a holding body coupled to the free end of the arm, the holding body being at least partially ring-shaped;
a spherical outer jacket surface coupled to the device; and
a brake disposed on an inside of the holding body such that the brake contacts the spherical outer jacket surface, wherein the brake is operable external to the holding body and has a holding effect on the spherical outer jacket surface,wherein the surface of the spherical outer jacket is enclosed at least in part by the holding body and held in the holding body, andwherein the spherical outer jacket is movable and can be swiveled relative to the holding body.

Abstract
In a fixture for spatial positioning of a device, in particular a device for a medical application, that is supported in a pivoting arrangement on a holding device or the like by means of an arm, quick and easy alignment of the device in relation to a person'"'"'s treatment area is provided. This alignment is achieved in that a ring-shaped holding body is attached to the free end of the arm, that a spherical outer jacket surface is provided on the device with the surface enclosed wholly or in part by the holding body, and that the outer jacket surface of the device is held in the holding body and can be pivoted relative to the holding body.
