FIXTURE FOR REFERENCE DEFORMABLE BODY, ULTRASONIC PROBE, AND ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To inhibit a reference deformable body from being displaced from an ultrasonic transmitting/receiving surface of an ultrasonic probe in screening.;SOLUTION: A lower fixture 24 for the reference deformable body includes a lower frame body 30 and a lower engagement member 34. The lower frame body 30 is formed in a frame-shape along the peripheral edge of the ultrasonic transmitting/receiving surface 50 of the ultrasonic probe 1, and has a grasping surface 28 formed to abut to the rear surface of a guard member 22 of the reference deformable body 16. The lower engagement member 34 hangs from the surface opposite from the grasping surface 28 and has a locking part 32 to be locked to the ultrasonic probe. An upper fixture 26 includes an upper frame body 40 and an upper engagement member 44. The upper frame body 40 is formed in a frame-shape along the peripheral edge of a rectangular parallelepiped member 20 of the reference deformable body, and has a grasping surface 38 formed to abut to the front surface of the guard member of the reference deformable body. The upper engagement member 44 hangs from an end of the upper frame body and has a locking part 42 to be locked to the lower frame body. Projections 36 and 46 are formed on the grasping surfaces of the lower frame body and upper frame body respectively.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
