Apparatus for checking persons for radioactive contamination
First Claim
1. Apparatus for checking persons for radioactive contamination, whereinat least two detector panels (1, 2), which are provided each with detectors on at least one broadside and extend at an angle to each other and include a space for accommodating a person to be checked,said detector panels (1, 2) extending at an angle to each other are rigidly interconnected to constitute a rigid subassembly, which is mounted for rotation about a vertical axis of rotation (35, 36, 46), anda resetting drive is connected to said rigid subassembly and comprises means for storing resetting energy as the rigid subassembly is rotated about said axis of rotation from an initial position in one sense and for expending said energy to reset the rigid subassembly to said initial position when said rigid subassembly has been released.

Abstract
An apparatus for checking persons for radioactive contamination comprises at least two detector panels (1, 2), which are interconnected and extend at an angle to each other and are provided each with detectors on at least one broadside. Said detector panels define a space for accommodating a person to be checked. The apex of the angle defines a vertical axis of rotation for the detector panels, which are interconnected to form a subassembly. Resetting drive means are disposed between the axis of rotation and the rigid subassembly. A revolving door is provided in a lock chamber for checking persons for radioactive contamination. A tread surface is provided by a floor plate carrying a foot detector, which is disposed between the vertical detector panels when they are in position of rest.
