X-ray cassette support apparatus

A support for an x-ray cassette which comprises:

• a sliding surface which, in use, is positioned beneath a patient support surface,
• an x-ray cassette support surface which is slidable over the sliding surface,
• a mechanism for manipulating the cassette support surface over the sliding surface, and
• a raising and lowering mechanism which raises and lowers the cassette support surface relative to the sliding surface.

A support for an x-ray cassette, comprising;

• a patient support surface;
• a sliding surface which, in use, is positioned beneath said patient support surface;
• an x-ray cassette support surface which is slidable in any direction over the sliding surface,
• a mechanism for manipulation of the cassette support surface over the sliding surface indicator for indicating at a position located above the patient support surface the position of the cassette support surface below the patient support surface, and
• a stop mechanism preventing movement of the cassette support surface along a direction of movement over the sliding surface upon the cassette support surface reaching a predetermined position.
