APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATICALLY CHANGING X-RAY FILMS

摘要

A film changing apparatus automatically replaces an exposed X-ray film accommodated in a cassette with a new or unexposed X-ray film. Unloading and loading of a film is effected in the vertical direction. Thus, the apparatus saves space in the horizontal direction. Furthermore, unloading of a film from the cassette is effected by gravity, thereby simplifying the structure of the mechanism for changing films, and thus allowing the size of the apparatus to be reduced as a whole.
