ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for securing a thrust film cartridge and for moving a film door between open and closed positions. The apparatus includes a camera body adapted to receive a thrust film cartridge, a camera door interconnectable with the camera body, and an actuating device. The actuating device includes a latch member, a lug member operatively associated with the latch member, a handle member operatively associated with the latch member, and a force limiting mechanism for limiting the force which can be applied by the handle member on the latch member. The latch member is movable between a locked position, to lock the camera door in the closed position, and an unlocked position, to allow the camera door to move between the open and closed positions. The lug member is engageable with a film door of a thrust film cartridge to move the film door between open and closed positions. The handle member is movable by a user of the apparatus to provide an unlocking force to the latch member and to move the latch member from the locked position to the unlocked position.
