ABSTRACT:
A cassette retaining apparatus comprises a holding chamber into which a film cassette is to be inserted and from which the cassette may be removed, and retaining means biased into engagement with the film cassette to retain the cassette in the chamber. The retaining means exerts one force to be biased into engagement with the film cassette, which force incidentally resists insertion of the cassette into the chamber though is relatively weak to make it easy to manually insert the cassette into the chamber, and exerts another force to be biased into engagement with the film cassette, which force incidentally resists removal of the cassette from the chamber and is relatively strong to make it difficult for the cassette to be unintentionally dislodged from the chamber.
