Abstract: A drive device for film transport and shutter cocking lever for a camera se film has a hole associated with each picture frame position and having a film transport wheel coupled to a spool core wherein a first gear wheel is concentrically connected with a film transport wheel and a second gear wheel is seated and freely revolvable, wherein a carrier conveys a coupling gear wheel which in a first position of the carrier is simultaneously in engagement with the first and second gear wheels and out of engagement in a second position and wherein the engagement occurs in a manner depending upon the position of the shutter cocking lever, or in a manner depending upon the positon of a spring-loaded pawl. The pawl is pivoted by engagement against a moving surface driven by the second gear wheel and having notch recesses therein.

Abstract: The rear cover for a film camera pivotably connected at one end to the camera housing and connectable at its other end to the housing is provided with a lock for releasably connecting the connectable end of the rear cover to the camera housing. The lock comprises a bias integrally connected to the film viewing window secured in the rear cover of the camera and a latch cooperating with the bias for releasably connecting the connectable end of the rear cover to the camera housing. In a second aspect of the invention, a second bias is provided which is integrally connected to the film viewing window and releasably secures a battery cell to the rear cover of the camera. In a third aspect of the invention, a structure for securing a battery cell to the rear cover of the camera is provided which is integrally connected to the film viewing window located therein.
