ABSTRACT:
Folding camera in which a lens mount carrying a taking lens assembly may be held in a position for taking photographs by linkage assemblies constituted by sides of a case and associated link rods and pivotal support assemblies each constituted by a flat plate connected to the lens mount and a guide rod which connects the plate to the camera and guides movement thereof when the camera is opened or closed. The case constituting part of the linkage assemblies contains flash control elements and forms a front wall portion of the camera when the camera is folded. The pivotal support assembly elements, being flat or narrow, require only minimum accommodation space in the camera, which is therefore rendered compact and easily transportable when folded.
