Photographic apparatus for coupling together elements of a self- developing film unit

摘要

An improved photographic apparatus for coupling together separate film and print sheet elements of a self-developing film unit and facilitating the presentment of the coupled sheets to the entry of a processing device. The improvements include a displacing device for lifting a flap on a print leader to provide better access, for a coupling tab on the film sheet, to a tab receiving slot on the print leader; a pod cover device for covering a free trailing end of the pod to block the inadvertent insertion of the tab thereunder which would prevent accomplishment of the sheet coupling function; and a print hold back device responsive to movement of a cassette, holding a film sheet, along a portion of the apparatus for moving a hold back finger from a position blocking the path of travel of a print sheet toward the processor to an unblocking position.
