ABSTRACT:
The safety-latching mechanism according to the invention is in particular used for a camera which is disposed in the cockpit of an aircraft and which is subject to acceleration on the order of 10 g. The film magazine is interchangeable in flight by the pilot. For effectively attaching the magazine to the camera body, the mechanism comprises three fixing points. At least one fixing point, which is of a first type, comprises a centering cam which cooperates with a bore. At least one other fixing point, which is of a second type, comprises a latch, which is pivotally mounted on the camera body and which, against the action of a spring, presses against an insertion surface or a blocking surface on the magazine. The two surfaces adjoin each other and are disposed near the bottom wall of the magazine.
