Patent ID: 8742349

Claim:
A radiographic imaging detector, comprising: a housing having upper and lower planar members and side walls; a radiographic imaging array enclosed by the housing; a recess to contain a battery configured to be exposed in an outer surface of the housing; a battery latch module comprising, a first catch mechanism configured to be released by force applied in a first direction, a first pressure member operatively coupled to the first catch mechanism, a second catch mechanism configured to be released by force applied in a second direction different from the first direction, a second pressure member operatively coupled to the second catch mechanism, where movement in the first direction operates to disengage the first catch mechanism from the second catch mechanism, where movement in the second direction operates to disengage the second catch mechanism to allow the battery to be removed from the recess, where the second catch mechanism is nearby the first catch mechanism, and where the first catch mechanism and the second catch mechanism are actuated by a single hand of an operator, where movement in the second direction operates to disengage the second catch mechanism only when the first catch mechanism is released.
