ABSTRACT:
A single-use camera comprises a supply spool having a pair of axially spaced flanges, a take-up spool having a pair of axially spaced flanges, and a filmstrip adapted to be wound off the supply spool from between its flanges and onto the take-up spool between its flanges. According to the invention, the filmstrip includes a wider, opaque, trailing end strip. The flanges of the supply spool are spaced from each other more than the width of the trailing end strip to permit the trailing end strip to be stored on the supply spool beneath the filmstrip without being deformed by the flanges. The flanges of the take-up spool are spaced from each other more than the width of the filmstrip but less than the width of the trailing end strip to crimp the trailing end strip to light tightly shield the filmstrip when the trailing end strip is wound onto the take-up spool over the filmstrip. Thus. the need for a film cassette in the single-use camera is eliminated.
