Abstract
In a camera adapted to receive a disc-shaped magazine and including a housing with front and rear walls having a lens window exposed on the front wall near one side margin of the housing and front and rear viewfinder windows exposed on the front and rear walls on the same side of the housing as the lens window, a hollow handle is provided having spaced front and rear walls defining therebetween an open housing side-receiving recess. The handle is much narrower than the width of the housing so as to fit over only the side of the housing containing the lens and viewfinder windows. The handle is mounted on the housing for movement between a stable, releasable retracted position where the handle recess receives the latter side of the housing therein so that the front and rear handle walls cover the lens, and front and rear viewfinder windows, and at least one stable, releasable extended position where the handle projects downwardly and laterally outwardly where it can be readily grasped by the hand corresponding to the side of the camera where the lens window is located, so that the user cannot conveniently grasp the adjacent side of the housing inadvertently to cover the lens window near the margin thereof.
