ABSTRACT:
A device for positioning a patient adjacent an X-ray cassette has a plate on which a part of a human body may be located and a socket adjacent the plate. The socket has least one slot or cavity in it. This slot or cavity will receive X-ray cassettes of different thicknesses. Forces for holding the cassettes upright are provided to reduce the width of the slot by biasing two cams to engage against the lower portion of the cassettes.
