ABSTRACT:
A camera for use with photographic film and advance-rewind unit. The camera has a body that defines a film path and a film drive disposed in operative relation to the film path. The advance-rewind is mounted on the body. The advance-rewind has a crank and film winder that define a common winding axis. The crank engages the film drive. The crank is rotatable about the winding axis in opposed first and second directions of rotation relative to the body. The film winder is pivotable about the winding axis in the first and second directions. The crank has a base and a handle. The film winder has a grip portion. The advance-rewind has a one-way, overrunning clutch disposed between the crank and the film winder. The clutch is switchable between active and released states. In the active state, the clutch couples the film winder to the crank during rotation of the film winder relative to the body in the first direction of rotation; decouples the film winder from the crank during rotation of the crank relative to the film winder and the body in the first direction of rotation; and precludes rotation of the crank relative to the body in the second direction of rotation. The clutch, in the released state, permits rotation of the crank relative to the body in the second direction of rotation.
