Abstract
A photoflash apparatus is disclosed in which a flash unit is selectively connected to adapter units through a coupling mechanism which includes a coupling pin in a mounting structure of one unit engaged by a slide plate in a mounting structure of the other unit. The mounting structures are resiliently stressed and interengaged in a manner such as to obtain a highly reliable and tight connection. The coupling mechanism is operable by a door of a battery compartment, or alternatively through outside actuating members, and the mechanism may be locked and unlocked as desired.
