Adjustable X-ray cassette holder and lead blocker device combination

An adjustable X-ray cassette holder and lead blocker device for securely positioning X-ray cassettes of different sizes and selectively shielding portions the X-ray cassette from exposure to X-rays, comprising in combination:

• (a) a frame having a first frame member disposed perpendicular to a second frame member, the first frame member and second frame member each having a ledge for supporting first and second cassette edges of the X-ray cassette;
• (b) a first frame adjuster slidably connected to the first frame member;
• (c) a second frame adjuster slidably connected to the second frame member;
• (d) a movable frame having a first portion disposed perpendicular to a second portion, the first portion being disposed parallel to the second frame member and having a first ledge portion for supporting a third cassette edge of the X-ray cassette, the second portion being disposed parallel to the first frame member and having a second ledge portion for supporting a fourth cassette edge of the X-ray cassette;
• (e) first tension means interconnected between the first frame adjuster and the movable frame for producing tension between the first frame adjuster and the movable frame when the first frame adjuster and the movable frame are moved in opposite directions;
• (f) second tension means interconnected between the second frame adjuster and the movable frame for producing tension between the second frame adjuster and the movable frame when the second frame adjuster and the movable frame are moved in opposite directions;
• (g) a lead blocker frame having lead blocker frame sides in adjacency with the frame and movable frame;
• and
• (h) an X-ray shielding plate mounted to the lead blocker frame between opposite lead blocker frame sides and being disposed in an adjacent parallel planar relationship with an upper surface of the X-ray cassette.

An adjustable X-ray cassette holder device for securely positioning an X-ray cassette, comprising:

• (a) an L-shaped frame having first and second frame members disposed perpendicular to one another and adapted to receive two sides of the X-ray cassette;
• (b) an L-shaped movable frame having first and second frame portions disposed perpendicular to one another and adapted to receive two side portions of the X-ray cassette;
• (c) first adjustment means for movably securing the first frame portion of the L-shaped movable frame to the first frame member of the L-shaped frame;
• and
• (d) second adjustment means for movable securing the second frame portion of the L-shaped movable frame to the second frame member of the L-shaped frame.

An adjustable X-ray cassette holder device for secured disposition about an outer perimeter of an X-ray cassette, comprising:

• (a) a frame having inner L-shaped ledges, the frame having first and second frame members disposed perpendicular to one another and adapted to receive two sides of the X-ray cassette;
• (b) a movable frame having inner L-shaped ledges, the movable frame having first and second frame portions disposed perpendicular to one another and adapted to receive two side portions of the X-ray cassette;
• (c) first adjustment means for movably securing the first frame portion L-shape L-shaped movable frame to the first frame member of the L-shaped frame, the first adjustment means including a first frame adjuster slidably connected to the first frame member and a first tension spring interconnected between the first frame adjuster and the first portion of the movable frame;
• and
• (d) second adjustment means for movable securing the second frame portion of the L-shaped movable frame to the second frame member of the L-shaped frame, the second adjustment means including a second frame adjuster slidably connected to the second frame member and a second tension spring interconnected between the second frame adjuster and the second portion of the movable frame.
