Patents by Inventor Takahiro Kamitake

Takahiro Kamitake has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8929512
    Abstract: A mobile type radiographic apparatus is provided, which can inhibit damage to a detecting device as much as possible. This invention provides a storage holder for storing an FPD, and catches for fixing the FPD to the storage holder so that the FPD stored cannot be taken out of the storage holder. Further, this invention provides a carriage movement controller which, when a carriage is about to be moved while the FPD is not in a locked state, notifies the operator to that effect. Consequently, the operator will become aware of having forgotten to lock the FPD when moving the carriage. This construction assures that the FPD is in a fixed state, whereby the FPD is never damaged during traveling of the carriage.

  • Patent number: 7137735
    Abstract: An X-ray equipment includes a movable carriage, an X-ray tube for irradiating an X-ray on a subject, and a cassette storage box for storing a cassette with a radiographic storage medium such as a film. In the X-ray equipment, when the cassette storage box is pulled and tilted, a gateway for the cassette is opened. When the cassette storage box is pushed back, the gateway is closed. The X-ray equipment further includes a storage box locking device for locking the cassette storage box in a state where the gateway is closed and for unlocking the cassette storage box when the locked state is released, and a locking release holding device for holding the storage box locking device in a released state.

  • Patent number: 6851853
    Abstract: An X-ray device includes a cart, a pole vertically provided on the cart, and a telescopic-type extendable supporting arm. The extendable supporting arm is formed of a hollow first arm with one end attached to the pole, a hollow second arm inserted in the first arm to be horizontally movable therein, and a third arm inserted in the second arm to be horizontally movable therein. Also, an X-ray tube device is provided on one end of the third arm. The extendable supporting arm has a synchronous moving mechanism for horizontally moving the third arm according to a horizontal movement of the second arm, and an extension/contraction operating handle attached to the second arm.
