Abstract: A device for removing a film sheet from a stack of such sheets present in a cassette. The device comprises a pin that can be moved into engagement with the uppermost film sheet of the stack in a marginal area thereof, and thereafter is moved in a direction substantially parallel to the plane of said sheet, whereby said sheet is bulged and thus made ready for engagement by means for removing it from the stack.

Abstract: A receptacle for radiographic film material comprising a first fluorescent screen disposed in a first path of movement extending around a first pair of rollers, and a second fluorescent screen disposed in a second path of movement extending around a second pair of rollers, the axes of all rollers being parallel to one another, and said two paths of movement being in part contiguous with each other, wherein at least one screen has a length shorter than the length of its path of movement, and that the screens are capable of being moved by a drive in one direction for receiving film material and in the opposite direction for delivering film material.

Abstract: There is disclosed a separator device for singularly passing to a transport member a rectangular sheet of material from a stack of such sheets accommodated in a storage cassette having a rectangular slotted sheet discharge opening. The cassette is provided with a hold-down plate for pressing the uppermost sheet against a bulge forming means disposed adjacent the discharge opening and comprised of a pushing member. The bulge forming means is controlled by a first cam disc adapted to perform a reciprocating movement to engage the leading edge of the uppermost sheet whereby such sheet is partly released from the stack by bulging at the discharge opening.
