ABSTRACT:
A camera comprises a cover of a stowage chamber, such as a film cartridge chamber, and a friction member for giving substantially constant opening-operation resistance to the cover substantially throughout the entirety of a movement range in which the cover shifts from a closed state to a half-opened state, so that the cover is gradually opened by the friction force of the friction member. Thus, an object stored in the stowage chamber is prevented from abruptly popping out of the stowage chamber, and a user's feeling at the time of using the camera is improved. Moreover, the friction member is constituted by a rubber member made of silicone rubber or the like. Thus, the considerable miniaturization of the camera is achieved.
