Toy movie camera

An amusement device in the form of a toy camera, comprising:

• a housing including means defining two aligned housing apertures in opposite sides of said housing and defining a light receiving passageway controllably connecting said apertures;
• opaque means for intermittently obstructing said light receiving passageway for intermittently and controllably preventing light received in one housing apertures from being transmitted directly into said second housing aperture, said opaque means including an opaque panel disposed within said passageway, said panel defining a panel aperture and further including means for disposing said panel aperture in alignment with said two housing apertures;
• means for intermittently and controllably removing said opaque obstructing means from said light receiving passageway to intermittently and controllably permit light received in said one housing aperture to be transmitted directly into said second housing aperture, said removing means further including means for rotating said panel to intermittently and repeatedly dispose said panel aperture in alignment with said two housing apertures;
• and
• means for producing a click sound only when said panel aperture is approximately in alignment with said two housing apertures, said sound producing means including a spring biased strip disposed within said housing to intermittently contact a portion of said means for removing said opaque obstructing means from said light passageway and to bias said panel out of a position with its panel aperture approximately in alignment with said light passageway.
