Section 1, Pub lic Law 690, August 1946 i i? Patent expires December 7, 1965 l i 9 Claims.
My'invention relates to X-ray apparatus. X-ray technics are known to be set the task of; making use ofthe highest admissible effect of theX-ray tube, which results in the most favourable conditions for operating from a therapeutical and diagnostical point of view. According to. the present state of development of technics this aim could be only attained if a transformer adjusted for full effect at each secondary voltage was used, which means a heavy weight of the'high-voltage transformer due to its then necessary large dimensions. A unit constructed of the X-ray tube and the high-voltage transformer'offers substantial advantages of construction (suchas higher reliability of operation, better cooling of the Xi-raytube, omission of 'the safety-high-voltage feeding-cables of large diameter), yet the weight of this X-ray unit. is limited, the more so as for .clinical use easy adjustmentin any position is required.
It is an'object of my invention to provide such an-X-ray apparatus that the aforesaid. movable unitin relation to a certain weight yields a higher effect than could be attained hitherto.
It is a further object of my invention to provide such an X-ray apparatus that the effect of,
the X-ray tube can be made full use of, and that the transformer combinedwith it always works with highest efficiency.
Still another object of my invention is to separation from the movable unit, which transformer is adapted to be adjusted for delivering various voltages to the X-ray tube. This offers a possibility of controlling the anode-voltageof the tube, while a comparatively small, movable unit, that operates with high economy andis well adapted to the requirements of medical practice, is retained.
Furthermore it is an object of my invention to provide an X-ray apparatus the tube of which is fed by way of a high-tension cable by a highvoltage transformer locally separated from it, whereat it is possible to operate the transformer always with highest efficiency which implies economic and technical advantages.
These and other objects will more clearly appear from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment. illustrated in the drawing which shows in a diagrammatical way the circuit according to which the invented apparatus operates.
In the drawing A denotes the X-ray unit connected with the control-board B. The X-ray unit A consists of the tube I, the filament transtarns'former, which is applied to the 'X-ray tube 15; I. The adjustable transformer. 6,1, 8 produces; an additional voltage of 'variable value/andpositive or negative polarity according to 1 th'e, position of switch 9'- This additi'onalvoltage; is connected to the basic. voltage produced in -the- 23), windings 4,5 and will either'raise or reduce this basic voltage, whereby the operating voltage-{of the tube. I can be altered according to'requirej ment.
.33 application of the idea of.. -m'
there is made full use of the effect of the X-ray, unit A. The transformer Aproduces theI con-; stant. basic, voltage for the. v tube I so that this, transformer always operates with the. effect, for which it. was. laid. out, That -isv whyit. works.
with highest efficiency.., 1i'or control of theanodeprovide for an. auxiliary transformer in local voltage at the, tube: I. draw additional voltage. from. the adjustable transformer; which-addi.-. tional voltageisconducted by way of. thetcables l2 and [3 to the secondary windings of thetrans former of .unit A. In that manner the ,emciency of the X-ray unit A is raised without increasing. its weight. .The idea of myinvention renders. the generally used primary-control (reducing or the primary voltage orv additional connecting of" primary windings) superfluous-and with it the larger dimensions; of the transformer involved in it. Besides reducing'theweight ot'the X-ray unit, this means also saving "of raw-material; fasj the controlling devices only need dimensions for weak secondary'current. u

both the feeding cables 12' and" l3i'are to"be*'la'id out for half the controlling voltage. wires connecting-"A and B" can be placed there;
