Abstract
An x-ray tube is enclosed in a housing 14, with a detachable x-ray cone 22 having an outward extending flange member 42, a cone holder 18 for receiving the flange member 42, a latch button 50 projecting from the holder for selectively releasing the cone 22 from the holder 18, and a safety plate assembly 26. The safety plate assembly is mounted between the cone holder and the housing 14 and has first and second tabs 28 which project from a periphery of a planar portion 30 of the safety plate substantially at right angles therewith. Each tab 28 has a projection 34 that is directed inward toward the other end generally at right angles with the tabs whereby a resting place is provided for the released cone 22 until the cone is manually removed.
