Extension control for self processing camera - has pivoted struts to hold objective away from camera

The extension control for a self processing camera has the objective and shutter on a plate (2) linked to the main body of the camera (1) by a bellows (4). The plate is held at the correct spacing from the film pack by two elastic struts (5a,5b) hinged each side of the camera body and with snap fastening connections to each side of the plate. The struts are made of moulded plastics and are pivoted on pegs (6) in the camera, with further pegs (7) limiting the amount of swing. The strut ends locate in grooves in the side of the plate and hold the lens at the correct spacing from the film plane. The camera folds into a compact pack and the construction provides a cost effective camera without complex alignment aids.
