Abstract
Abstract Laser irradiating apparatus equipped with a vertical shaft fixed on a power supply box, a first arm which slides up and down along the shaft and rotates around the shaft and a second arm which is pivoted at the first arm tip portion, and with a laser head installed on the second arm. In this apparatus, an articulated arm light guide is fixed on the upper side of the laser head tip portion. Variation of positions of the first and second arms provides a wide range for operation and much compactness of the apparatus when storing. In addition, the laser head is soundly installed on the second arm upper surface, which is useful to prevent any optical deviation.
