  • Patent number: 11945377
    Abstract: A vehicle exterior part includes a decorative body, a heater sheet, a connector pin. The decorative body includes a base material, and a transparent resin layer. The heater sheet includes a heat generating body, and an extending portion. A part of the heater wire in the extending portion is joined to the connector pin inside an outer periphery of the base material by a joining portion made of a conductive material. The outer periphery is formed with a window configured to join the heater wire to the connector pin by the joining portion in a state where a joining position is exposed to an outside of the outer periphery. The window is provided with a waterstop portion configured to restrict water from entering the joining position. The waterstop portion is formed by filling the window with a potting material.

  • Patent number: 6052428
    Abstract: The invention provides a medical radiographic apparatus constituted such that a swivel arm possessing an X-ray generator and an X-ray detection plane disposed to confront mutually with respect to the head of a patient is supported with a post through swivel means and a holding frame thereof in order to move the swivel arm about the head of the patient, the X-ray generator and X-ray detection plane are moved in mutually parallel reverse directions while synchronized, and irradiated X-rays are allowed to always enter the X-ray detection plane by passing through the same exposure region in the desired plane section in cooperation with the movement, the apparatus comprising:an ascending/descending main body from which the holding frame is extended, supported with the post so as to be free to move up and down, anda patient frame supported with the post so as to be free to move up and down, independently of the ascending/descending main body, having holding means for holding and fixing the head of the patient.

  • Patent number: 5506879
    Abstract: A planigraphic X-ray apparatus comprising a rotation mechanism for rotating a support member which supports an X-ray generator and an X-ray detection surface to rotate the X-ray generator and the X-ray detection surface around a subject, a position adjustment mechanism for setting the position of the rotation center of the support member rotated by the rotation mechanism and a linear movement means for moving the support member in the direction approximately perpendicular to the direction of the X-ray irradiated from the X-ray generator, whereby the X-ray detection surface is driven in the direction opposite to the movement of the linear movement means and the X-ray generator is rotated toward the X-ray detection surface in synchronization with the movement of the linear movement means.

  • Patent number: 5093852
    Abstract: A medical panoramic radiographing device comprises in combination a mode selector which is used to select the panoramic radiographing mode, jaw joint radiographing mode and/or otolaryngological region radiographing mode, an X-ray irradiation timing determination means which is used to determine the X-ray irradiation timing appropriate to the rotation positon of a rotary arm in the sselected radiographing mode, and an X-ray film movement pattern determinator which is used to determine movement patterns regarding the movement timing, speed, etc. of an X-ray film depending on the selected radiographing mode. With this device, the X-ray irradiation timing values or the X-ray film movement timing values suited for various radiographing modes are set automatically to ensure systematic selection of various radiographing modes.

  • Patent number: 5058147
    Abstract: A dental panoramic/cephalo X-ray photographing device being characterized in that an X-ray generator can be horizontally rotated by an electric drive means so that the X-ray irradiation axis of the X-ray generator is directed to a panoramic photographing cassette or a cephalo photographing cassette.With this device, selection between the panoramic and cephalo photographing modes can be done far quicker and more accurately than devices of the prior art.

  • Patent number: 4495632
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a dental radiographic apparatus for photographing the entire jaws designed to control the rotation of a rotary arm such that the film surface of a film holder mounted at one end of the rotary arm may rotate and move substantially at equal speed substantially equidistantly along the dental arch and that the X-ray beams irradiated upon the film surface from an X-ray generator mounted at the other end of the arm may fall on the dental arch at any point thereof at right angles with the arch. The apparatus makes it possible to obtain a very clear tomographic picture of a curved plane of the entire jaws, the picture being free of a double image of the teeth, partial change in enlargement ratio of the image obtained, and partial difference in the shade of the image obtained.
