  • Patent number: 5256022
    Abstract: A suction device for removing X-ray sheet films from a dispenser magazine of an X-ray sheet film cassette loading and unloading device has at least two suction elements and is displaceable so that for withdrawing an X-ray sheet film from a dispenser magazine it is movable to a withdrawal position, the withdrawn X-ray sheet film is taken from the suction device by a transporting roller pair, and a control device controls the transporting movement of the suction device and a tranasporting roller pair as well as the opening and closing of the dispenser magazine. The suction elements are arranged on a suction element axle which is movable in two displaceable suction element axial bearings, a lifting basket is articulately connected to a base plate by four hinge members, and a drive element is arranged on the base plate and moves the lifting basket and the suction element axle.

  • Patent number: 5145166
    Abstract: A supply magazine has a drawer-shaped, upwardly open box for introducing a sheet film stack in a light-tight envelope and for withdrawing individual sheet films after removal of the envelope, a cover part movable relative to the box, a unit for winding the envelope in a closed condition of the magazine. The cover part is formed as a flat parallelepiped which is open at its front small side and such that the box which is open at its upper side can be moved in and out of the cover part, a locking mechanism operates for locking the cover part and the box when the box is moved in. A lockable and swingable flap cover is provided on a flat side of the cover part corresponding to the upper side of the box so that when the box is moved in the cover part a sheet film stack can be inserted in the box through the flap cover.
