ABSTRACT:
A camera door actuated cartridge extractor includes a rod which is pivotally mounted to the cartridge chamber closing camera door at a point between the camera door pivot and the adjacent wall of the cartridge chamber so that initial opening of the camera door provides a relatively large extracting motion that quickly disconnects the cartridge from the driver. Thus, manual movement of the driver by the camera operator is less likely to move film within the cartridge after a film enclosing cartridge door is closed. A spring may be provided biasing the camera door to a partially open position to accelerate disconnection of the cartridge from the driver. Placement of the extractor rod in a slot between adjacent battery pockets provides a compact arrangement. Engagement of a hook-like keeper portion of the extractor rod with a rib on the door provides a friction force for maintaining the door in a fully open position until closing is desired.
