Patent ID: 7852629

Claim:
A suspension device for the superconducting magnet heat shield enclosure, comprising: a low-temperature container encompassing a superconducting magnet, that contains coolant for cooling said superconducting magnet; one heat shield enclosure encompassing said low-temperature container, said one heat shield enclosure comprising an outer heat shield layer and an inner heat shield layer; a vacuum jacket encompassing said heat shield enclosure, said vacuum jacket comprising an outer vacuum shell and an inner vacuum shell; a first set of suspension parts that connect the outer vacuum shell with said low-temperature container; a second set of suspension parts that connect the outer heat shield layer with said low-temperature container; and said low temperature container having two intersecting axes that are perpendicular to each other, and said first set of suspension parts and said second set of suspension parts each being located off of, and symmetrical with respect to, each of said two intersecting axes.
