ABSTRACT:
A one-time-use camera with a front cover part, is characterized in that the front cover part has a lens bezel, a longitudinal opening partially surrounding the lens bezel, and at least one grooved line of weakness extending to the longitudinal opening, to permit one portion of the front cover part to be broken away from another portion of the front cover part along the grooved line of weakness and separated at least partially around the lens bezel. Thus, the front cover part can be rendered detectably different during disassembly of the one-time-use camera to retrieve the exposed film. This allows the front cover part to be readily identified to be discarded, and prevents it from being erroneously reused.
