  • Patent number: 5631944
    Abstract: The rotary cathode X-ray tube equipment of present invention is constructed so as to permit radiation of X-ray from all directions with respect to the whole circumference of a subject, and is used for x-ray CT. The equipment of the invention is constructed to prevent an X-ray radiation window 40 of a low strength from being influenced by atmospheric deformations of a vacuum vessel 1 or by machining and assembling errors, for example by using a joint portion disposed between the X-ray radiation window and an inner ring and having both a surface perpendicular to a rotational axis of a rotary member and a cylindrical surface parallel to the rotational axis, a face seal formed on the surface of the joint portion perpendicular to the rotational axis, and an axial seal formed on the cylindrical surface of the joint portion parallel to the rotational axis.

  • Patent number: 4854672
    Abstract: An optical system for a copier includes a lens and mirrors which are movable simultaneously such that an image of an original can be projected on a recording medium at a selected magnification. A cylindrical cam is rotated by a motor which also moves the lens and the cylindrical cam has a guide piece formed on its side surface such that a holder for the mirrors is driven by the rotation of the cam in such a way that the desired magnification is achieved. The holder has two rollers sandwiching the guide piece and compressed against its side surfaces by a spring such that the mirrors can be accurately moved in coordination with the motion of the lens according to the selected magnification.
