Patent ID: 7250765

Claim:
A magnetic resonance device, comprising: an assembly having a recess; a gradient coil unit attached to the recess; and an attachment device used to attach the gradient coil unit to the recess, the attachment device comprising, two members with one of the members in contact with either the gradient coil unit or the assembly, an elastic element disposed between the two elements, and a stop surface at which the two members are in contact with each other due to a compressibility of the elastic element, wherein in a first attachment state, a minimum force presses the two members of the attachment device together to contact each other at the stop surface if a force is greater than the minimum force, then the attachment device acts as having no elastic element, wherein in a second fixing state, the elastic element between the two members of the attachment device pushes the two members apart if the force is smaller than the minimum force, then the attachment device acts as a spring unit and causes the attachment device to be fixed in respect to the gradient coil unit and the assembly.
