<p>A recyclable camera (2) includes a main body (16,40) pre-loaded with photo film (22). A front cover (14) covers a front of the main body. A rear cover (15) covers a rear of the main body. A retainer mechanism (104,105) has a retainer claw (104,105) and a receiver portion engaged with each other, for connecting rear walls of the main body and the rear cover. An opening (104a,105a) is formed in the rear cover, for uncovering at least a portion of the retainer claw or the receiver portion. For disassembly, a release claw (113,114) is inserted into the opening by setting the recyclable camera in a cover separating station (60,111) with the rear cover directed downwards. The release claw is disposed to protrude upwards in the cover separating station. The release claw is shifted relative to the opening, to disengage the retainer claw from the receiver portion by flexing the retainer claw away therefrom. After disengaging the retainer claw from the receiver portion, the main body is moved away from the rear cover. <IMAGE></p> |
