ABSTRACT:
A folding type camera comprises a front cover which is fabricated of a front plate and side plates joined with the front plate and which is swingable around a swing shaft parallel with a film supporting face of a camera body. Rotatable levers having bosses for engagement with guide grooves in the side plates are supported on the camera body so that, as the front cover is swung, the rotatable levers are rotated and the bosses are held at ends of the guide grooves, thereby maintaining the front cover in a photograph taking position. Slide members are supported slidably along the side plates and engaged with end portions of the rotatable levers so that, when the front cover is swung to the photograph taking position, the slide members are pushed by the rotatable levers away from the swing shaft. A shutter board provided with a photograph taking lens is rotatably supported at front end portions of the slide members. When the front cover is opened to the photograph taking position, the shutter board is rotated to a position where the photograph taking lens becomes parallel to the film supporting face of the camera body.
