Fluid conduit through RF shield

摘要

The invention provides a system for providing passage of fluid lines through an RF shield, the device comprising an RF shield having external and internal surfaces; a channel defined by the RF shield and extending from the external surface to the internal surface of the RF shield; a hollow cylinder rotatably communicating with said channel and extending substantially the length of the channel; a longitudinally extending region of said cylinder defining a gap adapted to receive a fluid conduit; mounting plates attached to the external surface and the internal surfaces of the RF shield; a movable member having a handle, the movable member attached to either end of the channel, the handle in slidable communication with the mounting plate so as to slide about the periphery of the plate; and a depending end of the handle rigidly attached to the cylinder which in turn is in rotatable communication with the circular plate such that the handle can be manipulated to a first position to allow loading of the conduit into the cylinder and whereby the handle can be manipulated to a second position to prevent unloading of the conduit from the cylinder.

1. A device for providing passage of elongated substrates through an RF shield, the device comprising:
a. an RF shield having external and internal surfaces; b. a channel defined by the RF shield and extending from the external surface to the internal surface of the RF shield; c. a hollow cylinder rotatably communicating with said channel and extending substantially the length of the channel; d. a longitudinally extending region of said cylinder defining a gap adapted to receive the substrates; e. mounting plates attached to the external surface and the internal surfaces of the RF shield; f. a movable member having a handle, the movable member attached to either end of the channel, the handle in slidable communication with the mounting plate so as to slide about the periphery of the plate; and g. a depending end of the handle rigidly attached to the cylinder which in turn is in rotatable communication with the circular plate such that the handle can be manipulated to a first position to allow loading of one of the substrates into the cylinder and whereby the handle can be manipulated to a second position to prevent unloading of the loaded substrate from the cylinder.
