Abstract

Disclosed is a multi-function hand switch assembly for a portable x-ray device attached to and detached from a portable x-ray device having handle binders formed on both side surfaces and detachably fixes a hand switch extending as a cable from one side surface of the portable x-ray device, including a handle portion detachably bound to the handle binders to be able to rotate a predetermined angle about the handle binders and extending to surround both side surfaces and an upper portion of the portable x-ray device; a bracket portion detachably bound to a center of an upper surface of the handle portion, fixed to be able to rotate in place at the center of the upper surface of the handle portion, and extending a predetermined height upward; and a holder portion integrally formed with an upper end of a bracket and allowing the hand switch to be inserted or withdrawn.

Claims (11)

1. A multi-function hand switch assembly that is operated by being attached to and detached from a portable x-ray device ( 10 ) having handle binders ( 11 ) formed on both side surfaces and detachably fixes a hand switch ( 12 ) extending as a cable from one side surface of the portable x-ray device ( 10 ), the multi-function hand switch assembly comprising:

a handle portion ( 110 ) detachably bound to the handle binders ( 11 ) to be able to rotate a predetermined angle about the handle binders ( 11 ) and extending to surround both side surfaces and an upper portion of the portable x-ray device;

a bracket portion ( 120 ) detachably bound to a center of an upper surface of the handle portion ( 110 ), fixed to be able to rotate in place at the center of the upper surface of the handle portion ( 110 ), and extending a predetermined height upward; and

a holder portion ( 130 ) integrally formed with an upper end of a bracket and allowing the hand switch ( 12 ) to be inserted or withdrawn,

wherein the handle portion ( 110 ) includes a hinge binding portion ( 111 ) detachably bound to the handle binders ( 11 ) formed on both side surfaces of the portable x-ray device, a handle main body portion ( 112 ) extending to surround both side surfaces and an upper surface of the portable x-ray device and forming a C-shaped structure in a plan view, and a bracket attachment/detachment portion ( 113 ) mounted on both side surfaces and an upper surface of the handle main body portion ( 112 ), detachably mounting the bracket portion ( 120 ), and fixing the bracket portion ( 120 ) in a manner in which the bracket portion ( 120 ) is able to rotate in place, and

the bracket portion ( 120 ) includes a sliding binding member ( 121 ) that is able to be fixed after sliding and being inserted into the bracket attachment/detachment portion ( 113 ) or separated therefrom after sliding and being discharged, an extending main body portion ( 122 ) that has the sliding binding member ( 121 ) mounted on a lower surface and that extends toward one side, is bent upward, and then extends to form a C-shaped frame structure that is able to be held by a human hand placed therein, and a binding fixing member ( 123 ) that is mounted on a lower portion of the extending main body portion ( 122 ), fastens the sliding binding member ( 121 ) using a bolt, and binds and fixes the sliding binding member ( 121 ) and the bracket attachment/detachment portion ( 113 ) to each other by a tightening operation.

2. The multi-function hand switch assembly of claim 1 , wherein the holder portion ( 130 ) includes:

a holder side surface portion ( 131 ) integrally formed with an upper end of the extending main body portion ( 122 ) and extending toward one side to form a space into which the hand switch ( 12 ) is able to be inserted;

a plurality of holder side surface through-holes ( 132 ) formed to be spaced at predetermined intervals in the holder side surface portion ( 131 ) and allowing communication between the inside and the outside of the holder portion ( 130 ); and

a holder side surface slit groove ( 133 ) formed in an upper surface of the holder side surface portion ( 131 ), extending a predetermined length from an inlet through which the hand switch ( 12 ) is inserted, and formed to allow the communication between the inside and the outside of the holder portion ( 130 ).

3. The multi-function hand switch assembly of claim 2 , wherein the holder side surface portion ( 131 ) of the holder portion ( 130 ) forms an inclined surface structure that is tilted a predetermined angle toward the inside of the holder portion ( 130 ) and is formed of a material having an elastic restoration force of a predetermined magnitude to press a side surface of the hand switch ( 12 ) with a pressure of a predetermined magnitude and fix the hand switch ( 12 ).
