Tilt mechanisms for medical systems and applications

This invention describes a system for tilting a patient platform, such as those found in robotic medical systems. It works by using a motor to push a pivot housing, which slides along two distinct tracks. This specific movement of the pivot housing causes the platform to tilt laterally, and the claims focus on the method of controlling this specific tilting action.

Why it matters: The method describes a precise mechanical tilt for patient platforms. Since 2021, advancements in real-time control systems for surgical robots could enable more robust and adaptive implementation of this specific tilting method.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateLinear actuator, custom mechanical parts, control logic
