ABSTRACT:
A rental camera is to be used by a customer for picture-taking and is intended to be returned to a lender to unload exposed film and replace with fresh film. The rental camera generally comprises a camera body having a through-hole; a manually operable member supported on the camera body for movement between first and second positions, and having a surface area substantial aligned with the through-hole in the camera body when the manually operable member is in the first position; and a locking device located in the through-hole in the camera body and in the way of the surface area of the manually operable member when the through-hole and the surface area are substantially aligned, to prevent the customer moving the manually operable member from the first position to the second position, and being removable from the through-hole to be out of the way of the surface area to permit movement of the manually operable member from the first position to the second position preparatory to the lender unloading exposed film and replacing with fresh film.
