Abstract
A digital radiographic detector having a core assembly and a housing enclosing the core assembly. Sidewalls of the housing have a thickness greater than the top and bottom sides of the housing. A first planar spring couples the core assembly to an interior surface of the housing. A second planar spring may be attached to the core assembly and abutting another interior surface of the housing.
Claims19
A digital radiographic detector comprising:
- a core assembly;
- a housing having five sides and enclosing the core assembly but for an open sixth side of the housing, the housing having a top side, a bottom side and three sidewalls therebetween, the housing integrally formed with the top side and the bottom side, the sidewalls each having a thickness greater than that of the top side and the bottom sides;
- and
- a curved spring attached to the core assembly and in physical contact against an inside surface of one of the side walls of the housing.

A digital radiographic detector comprising:
- a core assembly;
- a four sided tubular housing enclosing the core assembly, the tubular housing having a rectangular cross section, a top side, a bottom side and sidewalls therebetween, the housing integrally formed with, the top side and the bottom side, the sidewalls having a thickness greater than that of the top side and the bottom side;
- attachable and detachable end caps to allow insertion of the core assembly into the tubular housing when at least one of the end caps is detached therefrom;
- and
- a planar spring attached to the core assembly and in physical contact with at least one of the end caps.

A digital radiographic detector comprising:
- a core assembly;
- a unitary housing enclosing the core assembly, the housing having a top side, a bottom side and sidewalls therebetween, the sidewalls having a thickness greater than that of the top side and the bottom side;
- and
- a spring member fixed to the core assembly and in physical contact with an inside surface of the housing to absorb a shock impacting an outside surface of the housing opposite the inside surface.
