Abstract
A toy simulated flash camera is disclosed for simulating the flash exposure of a real camera. The toy camera has a flash housing containing a light reflecting member which is visible through a front opening in the front wall of the flash housing. The toy flash camera further has a top opening in the top wall of the flash housing. A flash shutter mechanism is provided for the top opening which is movable between a normal shutter closed position for preventing the passage of ambient light through the top opening into engagement with an outer surface of the light reflecting member, and a shutter open position allowing the passage of ambient light through the top opening. A flash shutter actuating mechanism is provided for momentarily moving the flash shutter mechanism to its shutter open position causing the ambient light momentarily reflected from the outer surface of the light reflecting member through the front opening to simulate a real flash lamp exposure.
