Irradiation device with ergonomic adaptation options

Abstract

An irradiation device for irradiating of body parts of a patient is provided, with a carrier system which provides a basic framework of the irradiation device with at least one light head with a light source for the irradiation, and a control element for operating the irradiation device. The irradiation device moreover includes a separate control module that is connected with the carrier system with at least one control for controlling the at least one light head. Innovative assembly and connection arrangements aid rapid and secure positioning.

         10 . An irradiation device, for irradiating of body parts of a patient, said irradiation device comprising:
 a carrier system providing a basic framework for said irradiation device;   at least one light head having a light source operative to produce said irradiation,   a control element operative to control said irradiation device during a use thereof; and   a separable control module operatively connected with said carrier system and having operative control for controlling said at least one light head.   
     
     
         11 . An irradiation device, according to  claim 10 , wherein:
 said separate control module is one of a control cabinet and a rack.   
     
     
         12 . An irradiation device, according to  claim 10 , wherein:
 said at least one light head is modularly and is detachably connected with said control module.   
     
     
         13 . An irradiation device, according to  claim 10 , wherein:
 said control module is pivotably connected relative to said carrier system about a first pivot axis with said carrier system.   
     
     
         14 . An irradiation device, according to  claim 13 , wherein:
 said at least one light head is pivotably connected to said control module about at least one respective second pivot axis; and   said at least one respective second pivot axis is aligned parallel to said first pivot axis.   
     
     
         15 . An irradiation device, according to  claim 10 , wherein:
 said at least one light head is connected communicatively for exchange of information with said separate control module.   
     
     
         16 . An irradiation device, according to  claim 14 , wherein:
 said first pivot axis extends essentially through a center of gravity of said control module.   
     
     
         17 . An irradiation device, according to  claim 14 , wherein:
 said control element is connected pivotably with said control module about at least a third pivot axis.   
     
     
         18 . An irradiation device, according to  claim 10 , wherein:
 said at least one light head is removably connected with said control module by a detachable plug-and-socket device.   
     
     
         19 . An irradiation device according to  claim 14 , wherein:
 said at least one light head respectively includes at least one supporting arm operative for detachable connection with at least one holder element formed on said control module for at least a partial holding of said at least one supporting arm therewith.   
     
     
         20 . An irradiation device according to  claim 19 , wherein:
 said at least one supporting arm includes at least one locking lever operative for disengagable engagement between said light head and said control module; and   said least one light head is optionally fixable by means of a detent arrangement relative to the control module.
