Abstract

A film cartridge, particularly associated with a camera, has a housing bounding a light-tight film roll chamber, and a mouth member arranged for passing a film therethrough and located outside the light-tight film roll chamber. The mouth member has a wall and at least one slot-shaped opening extending in a film transport direction and arranged so as to allow a film actuating member to engage therethrough a film received in the mouth member. Arresting means provided in the mouth member is engageable with an initial portion of the film and disengageable from the latter by camera-actuated means.
