Abstract
A camera back adapted to be fitted on the back of a camera or the like has a frame for a film container pivotally mounted in the housing of the camera back for movement between the first picture taking position and a second film discharge position. A pair of processing solution spreading rollers are rotatably mounted at the top of the frame with the nip region thereof being aligned with a discharge slot in the camera back housing when the frame is in the second position. An electric motor is mounted in the housing for rotating the rollers in opposite directions through suitable gearing. An endless belt having a first outwardly directed projection and a second inwardly directed projection is entrained about a pair of pulleys in the housing, one of which is driven by the motor. An L-shaped lever is pivoted in the housing with one arm connected to the frame and the other arm having a pin adapted to be engaged by the second inwardly extending projection on the belt for pivoting the lever and the frame between the first and second positions. A slide plate having a pawl for engaging the top film in a film pack is adapted to be raised by engagement with the first outwardly extending projection for lifting the film into engagement with the rollers after the frame has been moved to the discharge position.
