Abstract
The invention relates to a cassette, in particular an X-ray cassette, for receiving a storage fluorescent screen. The cassette has on one of its narrow sides an opening through which the storage fluorescent screen is to be inserted into or removed from the cassette. The opening is closable by a flap which is displaceable between a closed position in which it closes the opening and a release position in which it releases the opening for insertion or removal of the storage fluorescent screen. For this purpose the flap is mounted swivellably to the transition between the narrow side of the cassette provided with the opening and the base of the cassette or the cassette lid.

A cassette for receiving a storage fluorescent screen, comprising:
- an opening formed in a narrow side of the cassette, through which opening the storage fluorescent screen is inserted or removed from the cassette, and
- a closure which is displaceable between a closed position in which the closure closes the opening and a release position in which the closure releases the opening for insertion or removal of the storage fluorescent screen, wherein the closure comprises a flap, and wherein the flap is mounted swivellably to a transition between the narrow side of the cassette provided with the opening and a base of the cassette or a cassette lid;
- and
- a locking device which can be actuated from outside on the cassette, and wherein the locking device locks the flap in its closed position and releases the flap for opening when actuated from outside, wherein the locking device serves to fix the storage fluorescent screen in the cassette when the flap has been moved to the release position.
