  • Camera having film cartridge chamber distinguishable from battery chamber
    Patent number: 5655172
    Abstract: A camera includes a film cartridge receiving portion having a film cartridge chamber, a battery receiving portion having a battery chamber, a film cartridge chamber cover and a battery chamber cover. The film cartridge chamber has a film cartridge chamber opening formed in a top surface or a bottom surface of the camera body. The battery chamber has a battery chamber opening. The film cartridge chamber opening is shaped to correspond to a transverse cross-section of the film cartridge and the battery chamber opening is shaped to correspond to a longitudinal cross-section of the battery. The film cartridge chamber cover is disposed adjacent the film cartridge chamber opening and pivots to open and close that opening. The battery chamber cover is disposed adjacent the battery chamber opening to open and close the battery chamber opening. As a result, confusion between the film cartridge chamber cover and the battery chamber cover is eliminated.
