ABSTRACT:
A camera includes a chamber for receiving a cartridge having a shell and a film spool, substantially concealed inside the shell, with exposed axial spool ends. The camera further includes a spindle for supporting a first one of the exposed spool ends, and a pivotal door with a spring-urged bushing for pushing against a second one of the exposed spool ends for urging the first exposed spool end onto the spindle when the door is pivoted closed. The invention is characterized by a rigid member of the pivotal door for pushing against the shell, but not against the second exposed spool end, to move the cartridge initially into the chamber toward the spindle before the spring-urged member can push against the second exposed spool end when the door is pivoted closed.
