MODULAR SELF-PROCESSING CAMERA SYSTEM

摘要

5275 A modular photographic system that performs a series of operating functions attendant to the consecutive exposure and processing of a cassette of self-processable film units. The system construction includes a body and front cover member which cooperate to form a protective enclosure for a system assembly that provides the system operating functions independent of the enclosing structure The system assembly is formed by attaching a series of function-providing modules to a primary structural member that supports each of the modules in interfacing relationship while simultaneously defining the system exposure chamber. The body includes an internal chamber that is adapted to slidably receive the system assembly to support and position it such that the structural interfaces between the two form a cassette receiving chamber. The front cover member fastens to the body with snap-type connectors to retain the system assembly within the body chamber and complete the enclosing structure.
