摘要： A camera comprises manually rotatable film winding means, and a uni-directional clutch coupled to the film winding means to permit film winding rotation of the film winding means and to prevent reverse rotation of the film winding means. The film winding means includes a rotatable winder wheel having a toothed periphery. The uni-directional clutch includes a rotatable idler wheel having a toothed periphery engaging the toothed periphery of the winding wheel and provided with less teeth than the toothed periphery of the winding wheel, and a coil spring coiled tightly about a shank of the idler wheel and having an end portion secured with respect to the shank. The coil spring tightens on the shank to prevent the idler wheel and the winding wheel from being engagingly rotated when reverse rotation of the film winding means is attempted and relaxes on the shank to permit the idler wheel and the winding wheel to be engagingly rotated when film winding rotation of the film winding means is initiated.

摘要： A one-time-use camera comprises a film cartridge and a filmstrip, a lighttight camera body having an interior chamber for the film cartridge and an exterior cover portion for light-tightly sealing the chamber that can be separated from another exterior (remaining) portion to open the chamber in order to remove the film cartridge, and matching respective indicia on the outside of the camera body and on the film cartridge and/or the filmstrip. The indicia on the outside of the camera body is positioned partially on the exterior cover portion and partially on the other exterior portion to be divided in order to be visually obliterated when the exterior cover portion is separated from the other exterior portion to open the chamber. Thus, the one-time camera cannot practically be reused without removing or covering the part of the indicia on the other exterior (remaining) portion of the camera body.
