Abstract

A coupler is provided with a protrusion and a flange-shaped locking portion. A case of an image receptor houses an X-ray detector and an unlocking mechanism including a movable locking portion. The movable locking portion is made to protrude into a depression by the urging force of a locking assist spring. When the case is attached to the coupler, the movable locking portion locks the locking portion, thereby holding the case and the coupler together. The central axis of the cylindrical surface of the depression corresponds to substantially the center of the X-ray detection area of the X-ray detector.
