Abstract
The present invention discloses an (x-ray) bone densitometer comprising a stand including an “L”-shape handle consisted of an horizontal and a vertical plate capable of rotating between an horizontal position and a vertical position on the horizontal plate, a handle groove, the first and the second guide pins, and a stand groove; and a housing including an opening formed perpendicular in the center of the upper part (of said housing), the opening having one or more of the first and the second guide grooves for guiding the movements of said first and said second guide pins, a stand settle groove for settling the stand when the stand is settled horizontally, and a stand erecting groove for supporting the stand when the stand is erected in slope.
Claims5
A bone densitometer having an opening between an x-ray generator and an x-ray detector comprising:
- a stand in “L”-shape consisted of an horizontal plate and a vertical plate including a handle capable of rotating between a horizontal position and a vertical position on said horizontal plate, a handle groove formed on said horizontal plate for accommodating said handle in said horizontal plate when said handle is positioned horizontally, the first and second guide pins formed at each side of said stand for guiding the movements of said horizontal plate and vertical plate, and a stand groove formed at one end of said horizontal plate for grasping and carrying said horizontal plate;
- and
- a housing including an opening formed perpendicular in the center of the upper part of said housing, the opening having one or more of the first and the second guide grooves at each side of said opening;
- a stand settle groove formed concavely in the bottom of said opening to accommodate said stand when said stand is settled horizontally;
- and a stand erecting groove formed concavely in said stand settle groove for supporting the edge of said stand when said stand is erected in slope.
