ABSTRACT:
A simplified compact preloaded camera including a mechanism for automatically advancing the film and resetting the shutter. The camera includes a one-piece molded body having walls which define viewfinder, film supply, film exposure and takeup areas. Film is wound on a pretensioned spring-driven spool which is released after each picture is taken in order to advance the film to the next frame. A simple shutter mechanism is included, and both the resetting of the shutter mechanism and film advancement are controlled by a single spring. The camera is designed to be used while in a box. When a roll of film is completed, the box is sealed shut and mailed to the processor.
