Abstract
An adjustable chute for X-ray sheet film having different film formats. The chute is further developed in such a way that sheet film received from a cassette loading and unloading station of a daylight cassette loading and unloading device is to be centrically introduced into, and deposited in a light-tight collecting magazine. For this purpose, the chute comprises two guide holders which are arranged in one plane for guiding sheet film from the loading and unloading device into the magazine. The guide holders are pivotable about oppositely and fixedly spaced pivot points for providing an input opening for the sheet film. Setting device arranged adjacent to an output opening of the chute centrically adjusts the guide holders to the film format of the sheet film supplied to the magazine.
