Table Lifting Mechanism Design for Medical Surgery Application base on Human Force Driven

The paper deals with a concept of lifting mechanisms for surgery tables powered by human force only. The issue is to design a simple surgery table without any use of electricity or hydraulic equipment. The lifting mechanism of the table is based purely on mechanical components and is driven by a human power. Force and kinematical relation was stated and evaluated for medical and veterinary usage of surgery tables. Two concepts of the lifting mechanism are introduced and investigated.
