ABSTRACT:
A one-time-use camera comprises a filmstrip having a certain width and a film leader for the filmstrip having another width that is greater than the width of the filmstrip, a film-exposure backframe opening, a pair of parallel film edge guides located apart from each other a distance substantially equal to the width of the filmstrip to guide the filmstrip over the backframe opening, and a pair of leader edge guides located parallel to the film edge guides and apart from each other a distance less than the width of the wider leader, but greater than the distance separating the film edge guides, in order to make the wider leader be bent widthwise at opposite longitudinal edge portions of the wider leader between the film edge guides and the leader edge guides, whereby the wider leader is prevented from having to significantly increase the size of the one-time-use camera.
