PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medical diagnostic apparatus preventing an unnecessary operation of an operation lever by a sterile drape or a subject.SOLUTION: The operation lever 13A for use in an operation section 9 to be attached to the side of an examination couch 7 consists of an operation lever shaft 15 fixed with a microswitch 14, a handle 17 suitable for the operation lever shaft 15 and formed with a sloping face 17b adapted to push and operate an operation piece 14a of the microswitch 14 when being lowered, and a coil spring 16 interposed in a clearance between the operation lever shaft 15 and the handle 17 and having tension constantly lifting the handle 17 to the chip of the operation lever shaft 15. In a state where the handle 17 is not lowered to a predetermined position, the microswitch 14 is non-operated, and the transmission of the operation signal from operation command transmitters 28a-28d is stopped, however, when the handle 17 is lowered to the predetermined position, the operation signals are transmitted.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】滅菌オイフや被検者による操作レバーの不要な作動を防止した医用診断装置を提供する【解決手段】検診台7の側方に取り付ける操作部9に用いられる操作レバー13Aを、マイクロスイッチ14を固設した操作レバー軸15と、前記操作レバー軸15に嵌合し、下降させることにより前記マイクロスイッチ14の作動片14aを押し込み作動させる傾斜面17bを形成した把手17と、前記操作レバー軸15と前記把手17の隙間に介在させ、把手17を常時操作レバー軸15の先端にまで持ち上げる伸長力を有するコイルばね16とで構成する。前記把手17が所定の位置まで下降していない状態では、前記マイクロスイッチ14は作動せず、操作指示発信器28a~28dからの操作信号の送信を停止し、所定位置まで下降した状態で操作信号を送信する。【選択図】 図2
