ABSTRACT:
In a photographic film cassette, light trapping fabric is provided on each of two inside surfaces of a film passage mouth which define a film passageway. Inner recesses, retracted from the inside surfaces, have the inner edges of the light trapping fabric attached thereto, with an adhesive agent enclosing the inner edges. In a preferred embodiment, tiny grooves are formed in the recesses to provide an increased attaching force, so that a considerable degree of attachment can be maintained. Further, the cassette has two shell halves which are joined together at respective edges. A projection is formed at a first one of those edges. The second edge has a contact projection thereon, for fitting in an inside recess of the first edge. Also, a crooked portion is formed along the juncture of the respective edges. As a result, no light will come through the spacing beside the film. A film leader is advanced through the film passageway by rotating the spool to an outside of the film passage mouth. When the film leader is forced to advance, it will never peel off the light trapping fabric, and so can be advanced reliably without being stopped by the light trapping fabric.
