Abstract
A film guide mechanism of a camera has two opposite film guide surfaces which are substantially parallel and which define a film passage between a film cartridge chamber and a film take-up spool. Rotation of a spool shaft of a film cartridge delivers film, which has been wound around the spool shaft, through a delivery port of the film cartridge and into the film passage. At least one inclined plane formed between the delivery port and the film passage guides a leading edge of the film from the delivery port to the film passage.
