Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
71 words
A charged particle accelerator vacuum chamber including an exit window for extracting charged particles into the atmosphere, said vacuum chamber comprising: a flange in which the exit window is mounted, said flange including guide slots along a longer side of the exit window, and a frame having at least one foil secured thereto, the frame being slidably movable within said slots to permit the frame to be remove from the flange.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
71 words
A charged particle accelerator vacuum chamber including an exit window for extracting charged particles into the atmosphere, said vacuum chamber comprising: a flange in which the exit window is mounted, said flange including guide slots along a longer side of the exit window, and a frame having at least one foil secured thereto, the frame being slidably movable within said slots to permit the frame to be remove from the flange.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
The vacuum chamber according to claim 1 wherein the guide slots are arranged in an inner part of the flange, said flange having through slits along a shorter side of the exit window for introducing the frame into the guide slots and for removing the frame out of the guide slots.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
126 words
A vacuum chamber including an exit window having two foils therein with a gas cooling channel formed therebetween, said vacuum chamber comprising: a flange in which the exit window is mounted, two racks arranged along the longer sides of the exit window and adjoining the flange, guide slots formed in the racks, a frame carrying two spaced foils and having projections received in the guide slots, and a clamping flange connected with said exit window flange by coupling screws passing through holes in the racks and having spring-biased supports contacting the racks to provide a gap between the clamping flange and the frame when the coupling screws are loosened to insert the frame into the guide slots and to remove the frame from the guide slots.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
126 words
A vacuum chamber including an exit window having two foils therein with a gas cooling channel formed therebetween, said vacuum chamber comprising: a flange in which the exit window is mounted, two racks arranged along the longer sides of the exit window and adjoining the flange, guide slots formed in the racks, a frame carrying two spaced foils and having projections received in the guide slots, and a clamping flange connected with said exit window flange by coupling screws passing through holes in the racks and having spring-biased supports contacting the racks to provide a gap between the clamping flange and the frame when the coupling screws are loosened to insert the frame into the guide slots and to remove the frame from the guide slots.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
99 words
The vacuum chamber according to claims 1, 2 or 3 further comprising at least one movable plank mounted on guiding pins secured to the shorter side of the frame, said plank being movable with respect to the frame, one end of the foil being secured to the other shorter side of the frame while the other end of the foil is secured to the movable plank, and tensioning screws screwed into the movable plank and having their ends resting against the frame to move the plank with respect to the frame, whereby foil tension on the frame is adjusted.
