Abstract: A radiation attenuating shield apparatus and associated systems, devices, and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a radiation attenuating shield apparatus includes a first radiation shield panel and a second radiation shield panel, both of which are composed of a material that at least partially blocks radiation. The radiation attenuating shield apparatus is configurable between (i) a collapsed configuration in which the second panel substantially overlaps with the first panel to define a first radiation blocking footprint, and (ii) an expanded configuration in which less of the second panel overlaps with the first panel to define a second radiation blocking footprint that is greater than the first radiation blocking footprint.

Abstract: A radiation shield assembly is described, configured to block radiation emanating from a radiation source from reaching a user. A first curtain bar includes one or more mounting slots, each mounting slot attached to a respective mounting bracket. The one or more mounting slots include a plurality of furrow pairs of distinct depths. The mounting bracket includes a pair of protrusions fitting into a respective furrow pair on a curtain bar attachment end and a c-shaped aperture on a rail attachment end. A width of the c-shaped aperture is adjusted based on the placement of the protrusions in respective furrow pairs. The first curtain bar is attached to a second curtain bar by a pivoting anti-sag joint. An accessory rail is attached to the first curtain bar that is adjustable between two or more distinct widths. The anti-sag joint includes a convex conical section and a complementary concave conical section.
