  • Patent number: 7495247
    Abstract: Facility for installing or for system testing of floor or ceiling-mountable x-ray systems with radiation protection cabins with radiation-proof, especially lead-lined, walls and doors, with each radiation protection cabin (1) having a sliding door (7, 7?) occupying at least a majority of the cabin wall, made up of several lead-shielded door elements (7a, 7b, 7c) which can slide telescopically over one another and are preferably hung from a ceiling mount at a slight distance from the floor to allow them to slide freely and separate the internal operating space (5) of the cabin (1) from the operating console (4) for the x-ray system arranged in front of it, with the door elements (7a, 7b, 7c) being equipped with lead-shielded side edges (9) overlapping in their closed position such that radiation cannot escape from the interior of the cabin through the gap between two adjacent door elements (7a, 7b, 7c), and with a door closing monitoring system being provided to which the operating system of the x-ray system i

  • Patent number: 4865110
    Abstract: As the land becomes more populated due to the land being subdivided into smaller tracts the need for barriers to indicate the boundaries of the individual property holdings increases. In many instances it is no longer necessary to provide a fence tight closure as was previously considered necessary to confine small animals such as chickens, pigs etc. As the cost of erecting and maintaining fence tight types of gates has increased during recent years many people have realized that all that is required is a barrier to indicate the extent of individual property holdings. I have devised a versitile type of barrier that can be manufactured economically, and can be maintained in service at low costs.
