  • Patent number: 4344685
    Abstract: The invention relates to a photographic camera of high quality and extremely small dimensions. To this end the camera objective and the film track are provided on the front and rear faces, respectively, of a generally block-shaped central housing body. An upper housing portion extends on both sides laterally beyond the central housing body and carries, on its projecting parts, the film drive motor and a battery. A lower housing portion defines chamber members on both sides of the central housing body. These chamber members are open at the top and are interconnected by a rear wall and a bottom plate to define a space therebetween which accommodates the central housing body. The take-up and supply spools are located in the chamber members and, in turn, accommodate the film drive motor and battery, respectively, which project downwards from the upper housing portion.
