Abstract
A battery mount for collapsible cameras of the type in which a forwardly disposed shutter housing is connected to a rearwardly oriented film housing by a collapsible bellows. Electrical equipment contained within or supported by the shutter housing is supplied with electrical energy from batteries mounted on the rear face of the shutter housing within the bellows in the manner to be accessible through a displaceable cover of the rear housing, particularly when the camera is collapsed with the shutter housing in reasonably close proximity to the film housing. The battery mount features a readily accessible retaining clip which is releasable for replacement of batteries directly through the cover of the film housing.
