A film suction mechanism for a camera, comprising a suction unit disposed with a camera body, a first suction path communicating with said suction unit and formed in said camera body, a film pressure plate mounted on a rear lid of said camera body and having film suction openings formed therein, and a second suction path formed in said rear lid and communicating with said film suction openings, said second suction path being arranged so that it is connected to said first suction path in response to closure of said rear lid, thereby establishing a fluid communication between the suction unit and said film suction openings.
A film suction mechanism for a camera body, comprising:
- a camera body having a rear lid movable between an open and a closed position;
- a film pressure plate mounted on said rear lid and having film suction openings formed therein;
- a suction unit disposed within said camera body;
- means defining a suction path between said suction unit and said film suction openings, said means being so structured that it defines a closed suction path between said suction unit and said film suction openings when said lid is in said closed position and an open suction path between said suction unit and said film suction openings when said lid is in said open position.
