Abstract
In an instant film pack of the type comprising a parallelepipedal housing having a top wall in which an exposure aperture is formed and a front end wall with a film unit exit slot through which an instant film unit is withdrawn, a supporting member is provided to prevent the film unit from being improperly withdrawn. The supporting member comprises a flexible resilient member attached to the bottom of the film pack at the front end and extending in the direction of withdrawal of the film unit. The flexible resilient supporting member is so disposed as to leave a distance of 0 to 6 mm between its front end and the slot defined between an edge controller and a front edge of a guide member of a pack holder in which the film pack is loaded for use.
