Description
- This invention relates generally to the field of a carrying bag, and in particular to a tote bag for carrying X-ray grids and related radiographic supplies.
- Current concerns in the medical field require technicians to carry a variety of accessories to maintain sterile technique and reduce the spread of infectious diseases while performing the duties of medical examination and treatment. In addition, the advancement of medical technologies requires the use of more and more equipment in the performance of these duties. As a result, today's medical workers use both diagnostic equipment and disposable accessories. In particular, radiological technicians must transport a portable X-ray device (i.e., a portable diagnostic device), a radiographic grid for attenuating the radiation incident on film, their sanitary supplies, personal protective gear, tape, identification cards, gloves, cassette covers, writing instruments, and other related radiographic supplies and equipment.
- The term “radiographic grid” shall generally refer to a device that includes alternating radiolucent and radiopaque straps intended to be placed between the patient and the image receptor to reduce the amount of scattered radiation reaching the image receptor. One example of such a radiographic gris is approximately fourteen inches by seventeen inches (14″×17″).
- The term “related radiographic supplies” shall generally refer to one or more sanitary supplies, personal protective gear, tape, identification cards, gloves, cassette covers, writing instruments, and other related radiographic supplies and equipment

FIG. 1 is a front view of one exemplary embodiment of the radiology accessory tote. -
FIG. 2 is a side view of the embodiment of the radiology accessory tote shown inFIG. 1 , taken along line 2-2 and secured to a portable diagnostic device. -
FIG. 3 is a rear view of the embodiment of the radiology accessory tote shown inFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 4 is a front view of an alternate embodiment of the radiology accessory tote. - For the purpose of promoting an understanding of the present invention, references are made in the text hereof to embodiments of a radiology accessory tote, only some of which are depicted in the figures. It should nevertheless be understood that no limitations on the scope of the invention are thereby intended. One of ordinary skill in the art will readily appreciate that modifications such as the dimensions, size, and shape of the components, alternate but functionally similar materials from which the radiology accessory tote is made, and the inclusion of additional elements are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the written description do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Some of these possible modifications are mentioned in the following description. Therefore, specific details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but rather as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one of ordinary skill in the art to employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed apparatus or manner.
- It should be understood that the drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating the principles of the invention. In addition, in the embodiments depicted herein, like reference numerals in the various drawings refer to identical or near identical structural elements.
- Moreover, the term “substantially” or “approximately” as used herein may be applied to modify any quantitative representation that could permissibly vary without resulting in a change in the basic function to which it is related. For example, one embodiment of the radiology accessory tote is disclosed herein as including a strap securing loop that is substantially the same length as the radiology accessory tote. The strap securing loop might permissibly be somewhat shorter and still be within the scope of the invention if its functionality is not materially altered.
- Referring now to the drawings,
FIG. 1 is a front view of one exemplary embodiment ofradiology accessory tote 100.Body 110 substantially surrounds and formsinternal grid pocket 120, into which one (1) or more radiographic grids (not shown) can be placed, carried, and protected.

radiology accessory tote 100 shown inFIG. 2 is stabilizingrod 180. Stabilizingrod 180 preventsradiology accessory tote 100 from bending in a horizontal direction, further protecting any radiographic grids (not shown) or other related radiographic supplies. In the embodiment shown, stabilizingrod 180 is positioned within first end 171 ofstrap securing loop 170 and runs substantially the entire length ofstrap securing loop 170. However, in alternate embodiments, stabilizingrod 180 can be positioned elsewhere withinstrap securing loop 170 or withinbody 110. Furthermore, in the embodiment shown, stabilizingrod 180 is made of steel, but can also be made of any other sufficiently strong material, including other metals and alloys, plastic, wood, and combinations thereof. However, it should be understood that alternate embodiments ofradiology accessory tote 100 need not necessarily include stabilizingrod 180. - As shown in
FIG. 2 ,radiology accessory tote 100 is temporarily secured portablediagnostic device 50. Specifically, portablediagnostic device 50 is a General Electric® AMX 4 X-ray machine. However, becausestrap 150 andstraps 160 each includeadjustment member 155 andadjustment members 165, respectively,radiology accessory tote 100 can be used with any portablediagnostic device 50. -
FIG. 3 is a rear view of the embodiment ofradiology accessory tote 100 shown inFIG. 1 . As can be appreciated,strap securing loop 170 is substantially the same length as the width ofradiology accessory tote 100, and stabilizing rod 180 (shown in broken lines) is substantially the same length asstrap securing loop 170. -
FIG. 4 is a front view of an alternate embodiment ofradiology accessory tote 100. Though the embodiment also includesstrap 150, straps 160, and three (3)external pockets external pockets external pocket 131 has a correspondingexternal pocket cover 134. Furthermore,external pocket 131 is approximately seventeen and one half inches (17½″) high and seventeen and one half inches (17½″) wide, andexternal pockets space 139 for a logo, embroidery, or other indicia. - While the strap apparatus for carrying protective equipment has been shown and described with respect to several embodiments and uses in accordance with the present invention, it is to be understood that the same is not limited thereto, but is susceptible to numerous changes and modifications as known to a person of ordinary skill in the art, and it is intended that the present invention not be limited to the details shown and described herein, but rather cover all such changes and modifications obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art.
