Abstract
In a multilamp flash assembly adapted for attachment to a camera having a flashlamp firing circuit, the respective flashlamps are advanced sequentially to a firing position. A lamp advancing member in the flash assembly is made of an electrically conductive material and is disposed to form an integral part of the firing circuit when the flash assembly is attached to the camera. The advancing member is movable to establish an electrical connection with the respective flashlamps, one at a time, and to advance a flashlamp electrically connected with the advancing member to the firing position. Thus, the advancing member operates as an electrical contact for a flashlamp, as well as for advancing the lamp to the firing position. In an alternate embodiment, the advancing member is disposed in the camera.
