  • Patent number: 5348206
    Abstract: A reusable carrying sleeve for a recyclable, single use camera is constructed of resilient foam and includes a peripheral wall section for surrounding a camera housing and a front panel joined to a forward part of the peripheral wall for forming a semi-enclosure around a camera inserted into the sleeve. The front panel has apertures and cut-outs sized and aligned to permit normal functioning of the camera lens, viewfinder, flash, and film winder. A carrying strap is affixed to the peripheral wall for toting around the sleeve and the retained camera. The peripheral wall includes an interior perimetal surface designed with a size and shape to frictionally grip the camera, while the exterior surface of the sleeve can appear plain or have virtually any decorative indicia, making the sleeve particularly attractive to variously aged photographers.
