ABSTRACT:
A lens-fitted film unit has a main body and front and rear covers attached thereto and sandwiching the main body between them. The main body is preloaded with photographic film, and provided with a shutter device and a taking lens. The shutter device is constituted of a single shutter blade, a shutter base on which the shutter blade is swingably mounted, a shutter cover disposed in front of the shutter blade, and a coil tension spring for biasing the shutter blade toward a closed position. The coil tension spring has one end connected to a projection on the shutter blade, and the other end connected to a pin on the shutter base. The projection on the shutter blade is received in an opening in the shutter cover. The opening is superposed with an access opening in the front cover, so that the shutter blade can be forcibly shifted from a closed position to an open position when the front cover is attached to the main body. The shutter blade can be held in that open position while the taking lens of the film unit is tested. The other end of the coil tension spring is mounted on a pin on a forward surface of the main body, and this pin is likewise received in an opening in the shutter cover. Both ends of the spring are thus immune to disengagement under impact.
