Portable radiographic image capturing apparatus

1. A portable radiographic image capturing apparatus, comprising:

a radiation conversion panel configured to output image information based on applied radiation;

a casing housing the radiation conversion panel therein; and

a plurality of support members on which the radiation conversion panel is supported in the casing,

wherein the support members have slot structures housing wires therein,

further comprising:

a plurality of boards housed in the casing, and

a battery,

wherein the wires are connected to regions of the boards, and the wires are connected through the slot structures to other regions of the boards or to the radiation conversion panel,

in the casing, the boards and the support members are disposed between the radiation conversion panel and a rear face of the casing that faces a front face that is irradiated with the radiation, and in plan view, the battery is sandwiched by at least two of the support members arranged along two sides of the battery that face each other, and a direction along the two sides of the battery coincides with a longitudinal direction of each of the support members, and

the slot structures are formed along the longitudinal direction of each of the support members.

2. The portable radiographic image capturing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a plurality of teeth disposed in the support members and holding the wires within the slot structures.

3. The portable radiographic image capturing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the teeth have respective surfaces made of an elastic material.

4. The portable radiographic image capturing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the teeth include at least corners, which are positioned near the wires, and are rounded as viewed in cross section along a plane normal to the longitudinal directions.

5. The portable radiographic image capturing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein:

the slot structures extend along the longitudinal directions; and

the teeth are disposed in a staggered layout along the longitudinal directions.

6. The portable radiographic image capturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the support members are made of or contain an electrically conductive material.

7. The portable radiographic image capturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the slot structures include crossing regions where other wires extend across the wires; and

the crossing regions are provided by partially removing side walls of the support members that define the slot structures.

8. The portable radiographic image capturing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein:

the other wires extend across both the slot structures and the wires that are housed in the slot structures in the crossing regions; and

the other wires are held between the wires, which are housed in the slot structures, and

the casing or a base plate that is disposed in the casing.

9. The portable radiographic image capturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the casing comprises the front face to which the radiation conversion panel is fixed, and the rear face that is held in fitted engagement with the front face;

the casing further houses a base plate therein;

the radiation conversion panel and the base plate are supported in the casing by the support members, which are erected from the rear face; and

the support members are fixed to the front face by the base plate.

10. The portable radiographic image capturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the casing comprises the front face to which the radiation conversion panel is fixed, and the rear face that is held in fitted engagement with the front face;

the casing further houses a base plate therein;

the radiation conversion panel and the base plate are supported in the casing by the support members, which are erected from the rear face; and

the support members are fixed to the rear face.
