<p>A lens-fitted photo film unit has a body in which a cassette containing chamber is pre-loaded with a photo film cassette. A photo film chamber contains unexposed photo film in a form of roll as drawn out of the cassette. A photo film winding wheel is rotated after each exposure to rotate a spool in the cassette shell into which the photo film is wound. An apparatus for assembling the photo film unit has a dark box, which has 3 supply openings into which parts are supplied, and an exit opening from which the body loaded with the photo film is exited. 4 intermediate cells of the dark box shield ambient light, and includes outer shutter plates and inner shutter plates, which are disposed in the supply openings and the exit opening, shield ambient light, and are opened/closed in alternation. A cassette supplying loader and a robot hand transfer the cassette into the dark box, while a leading tongue of the photo film is protruded from the cassette shell, with a remaining portion of the photo film contained as a roll. A roll forming fork device winds the photo film as much as a predetermined length from the cassette as supplied, and forms the photo film into the roll. A photo film mounting mechanism swings the roll and the cassette shell together to change orientation thereof, and loads the roll and the cassette shell into the body. <IMAGE></p> |
