  • Publication number: 20200041424
    Abstract: An X-ray imaging apparatus capable of covering outer peripheral portions of a fixed supporting column and a moving supporting column by a cover even when an SID is set to be large in a configuration in which an imaging system is rotated about an axis extending in a horizontal direction. The supporting column mechanism 17 is provided with a fixed supporting column 34, a moving supporting column 35 movable relative to the fixed supporting column 34, and a moving mechanism for moving the moving supporting column 35. A fixed cover 33 is arranged at the outer peripheral portion of the fixed supporting column 34. Further, at the outer peripheral portion of the moving supporting column 35, a moving cover 31 which moves together with the moving supporting column 35 is arranged. An intermediate cover 32 movable in the same direction as the moving cover 31 is arranged between the fixed cover 33 and the moving cover 31.

  • Patent number: 10544762
    Abstract: A fuel supply device includes a flange unit configured to be attached to an upper wall of a fuel tank to close an opening of the fuel tank, a pump unit configured to be disposed within the fuel tank, and a coupling mechanism moveably coupling the pump unit to the flange unit in a vertically slidable manner. The coupling mechanism includes a fixed-side rail member having a rail portion extending vertically from the flange unit, and a movable-side rail member having a channel-groove shaped rail groove extending from the pump unit. The channel-groove shaped rail groove is slidably engaged with the rail portion of the fixed-side rail member. A recess having a semi-circular cross section is formed at a corner of the rail groove of the movable-side rail member.
