ABSTRACT:
A still camera wherein the main section or body of the housing guides a reciprocable cover member of the housing. The cover member is movable between an extended position and a concealing position and is permanently biased to the extended position by a helical spring. When moved by hand to the concealing position, the cover member overlies the view finder and the picture taking lens in the body and can also block the actuation of camera release. The cover member can be locked in such concealing position by a detent mechanism which includes a tooth on the cover member and a complementary tooth which is mounted in the body and can be moved by a knob into or from engagement with the tooth of the cover member. The latter can transport the film, cock the shutter, advance the exposure counter and/or perform other functions during movement from extended to concealing position or vice versa.
