Abstract
A mounting apparatus for a pair of juxtaposed pressure-applying members operating as a spreader system for a camera to distribute a fluid processing composition between predetermined layers of a film unit subsequent to exposure to initiate a developing process for the film unit. The mounting apparatus comprises a bracket for rotatably mounting the pressure-applying members thereon which is adapted to be attached as an integral unit to internal structure within the camera and a housing section including an integrally molded film exit slot adapted to be snap fitted to the bracket whereby the pressure-applying members are precisely located relative to the film exit slot and prevented from moving laterally, longitudinally or vertically out of the precise location. The mounting apparatus is constructed to be snapped together for relatively rapid ease of assembly without the aid of a fixing tool and may be subsequently disassembled with comparative relative ease for repair, cleaning or replacement of parts.
