Abstract

A cassette holder is provided for use with a wheeled stretcher or the like. The holder is slidably and pivotably mounted to a pair of support tubes positioned beneath the top board of the stretcher. It may accordingly be positioned beneath any portion of the top board which is desired. To replace an x-ray or other type of film cassette, the holder may be pivoted downwardly towards either side of the stretcher. A tray slides out from the holder to provide easy access to the cassette. The holder accepts cassettes from both sides of the stretcher depending upon which support tube is utilized as a pivot axis.
