A surgical operating table has leg sections, which are displaceable about a vertical axis and a horizontal axis. Each leg section is locked in position by two gas struts, which lock respectively about the vertical and horizontal axes. Vent buttons on the gas struts are connected via push rods to opposite ends of a lateral beam. The lateral beam is engaged, close to the end coupled to the strut locking about the vertical axis, by a manual release handle beneath the foot end of the leg section. Lifting the handle displaces the one end of the beam initially and then the other end, so that the leg section is released for movement about the vertical axis before it is released for movement about the horizontal axis.

[ What I claim is:] [1.] A patient support table comprising: a leg support movable about a first axis and about a second axis orthogonal to the first axis; a first lock for locking said leg support against movement about said first axis; a second lock for locking said leg support against movement about said second axis; a manual release located on said leg support, said manual release being movable from a locked position to an unlocked position; and a coupling between said manual release and both said first and second locks so arranged that both said locks are locked when said manual release is in its said locked position and both said locks can be released by moving said manual release to its said unlocked position to permit said leg support to be displaced relative to both said first and second axes by manual manipulation directly on said leg support.
