Abstract: A sheet photo film pack includes a pack housing for containing a stack of eight sheet photo film units. The counter device is used with the sheet photo film pack. A counter chamber is formed in the pack housing. A counter disk is contained in the counter chamber rotatably, and has first and second faces. A train of counter numerals are arranged on the first face in an arc-shaped manner at a predetermined pitch. Plural stepping claws are disposed on the first face to project in a thickness direction of the counter disk, arranged in an arc-shaped manner at the predetermined pitch, and rotationally shifted by an external mechanical shift signal. The shift signal is associated with each one of the sheet photo film units to be counted, and adapted to setting the counter numerals in a counter indicator window.

Abstract: A film sheath, holding a sheet film to constitute a sheet film unit, is formed from a plastic resin, and is provided with at least a tapered portion in an end fringe which is directed toward a leading end of a sliding lid when the sliding lid is moved back to a closed position in a sheet film pack containing a stack of such sheet film units, so as to provide a sufficiently large gap between two of the stacked sheet film units, for smooth thrusting of the sliding lid into between the two sheet film units. The film sheath also has a protuberance in a corner of an open end, as a stop member for stopping the sheet film from slipping out of the film sheath.

Abstract: A sheet film pack has a pack housing for receiving a plurality of sheet film units in a stack, and a lid for closing an opening of the pack housing, through which a topmost sheet film unit of the stack is placed in an exposure position. The exposure position is defined by an exposure frame of a pack holder which holds the sheet film pack and is attached to a camera. A film recovery mouth for recovering exposed sheet films one after another is formed in a trailing end of the pack housing, and a cap for closing the film recovery mouth and holding the lid in the closed position is removably attached to the pack housing. The lid is guided along guide rails which are formed on lateral sides of the pack housing to slidably hold lateral edges of the lid. The guide rails extend beyond the film recovery mouth such that the trailing ends of the guide rails are placed inside the cap when the cap is attached to the pack housing.

Abstract: A sheet film pack has a pack housing containing a plurality of sheet film units in a stack therein, a lid slidable relative to the pack housing to open or close an open top of the pack housing, and a plate spring mounted on an inner bottom surface of the pack housing to urge the stack of sheet film units toward the open top. Each sheet film unit consists of a sheet of photographic film and a plastic film sheath backing and fringing the sheet film. The plate spring has a pair of arched arms which extend parallel to each other along side zones of a bottom one of the sheet film units, such that peak areas of the arms contact the bottom sheet film unit at positions within 15 mm from side edges of the sheet film unit.

Abstract: A sheet film pack has a pack housing for receiving a plurality of sheet film units in a stack, and a sliding lid for closing an opening of the pack housing, through which a topmost sheet film unit of the stack is moved to an exposure position outside the sheet film pack. The sliding lid has a grip that extends beyond the pack housing in the closed position to close the opening. The sliding lid also has a protuberance that protrudes from an inside surface in the vicinity of the grip. The protuberance is engaged with an edge of the pack housing when the sliding lid is in the closed position, to ensure light-tight contact of the lid with the pack housing even when a large load is applied to the grip.
