Abstract
A carrying case is disclosed for photographic cameras of the compact collapsible type which may be extended or erected to an operative position without removal of the camera from the case. The case is constructed to safely contain the camera and securely support the same in all positions of camera movement from a compact folded position to a fully erected position and to permit complete operation of the camera during all normal photographic procedures, including the removal and insertion of film cassettes into a film magazine receiving chamber of the camera without the necessity of removing the camera from the case. The case is formed of specially constructed top and bottom case members that are provided with hinged sections and cooperating linkage which are movable with the camera's housing sections during the erection of the camera to its operative position.
