Abstract
A single use camera that has flexure of a front cover constrained by and exposed-film door. The camera has a frame and a back cover attached to the frame. The frame and back cover together define a film path and an exposed-film removal opening communicating with the film path. The front cover is mounted over the frame opposite the back cover. The door is attached to the frame. The door is discrete from the covers and frame. The door light-tightly closes the opening independent of the front cover. The door is reversibly removable from the frame. The door constrains flexure of the front cover in a direction outward from the frame.
