Abstract
The invention relates to an x-ray device with an x-ray source fixed to a ceiling stand and a generator connected therewith in order to supply it with power. For simplification purposes, it is proposed in accordance with the invention to provide a conductor rail between the generator and the x-ray source on the ceiling in order to produce an electrical connection, along which conductor rail a ceiling stand accommodating the x-ray source can be moved.
Claims8
An x-ray device, comprising:
- a guide rail attached to a ceiling;
- at least one conductor rail provided on the guide rail;
- a ceiling stand movable along the guide rail;
- an x-ray source attached to the ceiling stand;
- and
- a generator suspended from the ceiling and positioned along the conductor rail for supplying power to the x-ray source along the conductor rail, such that at least one sliding contact is fixedly connected to the ceiling stand and in physical contact with the conductor rail for sliding therealong so that as the contact slides along an electrical connection is maintained from the generator through the conductor rail and through the sliding contact to power the x-ray source, wherein separation between the generator and the x-ray source is primarily along the guide rail.
