Abstract:
An opaque rear cover part for a one-time-use camera comprising a door cover portion and a remaining cover portion arranged to permit said door cover portion to be pivoted open relative to said remaining cover portion about a pivot axis, and a fracture line of weakness formed between said door cover portion and said remaining cover portion to create a break along said fracture line of weakness which permits said door cover potion to be separated from said remaining cover portion when said door cover portion is pivoted open, is characterized in that:said fracture line of weakness is not coincident with said pivot axis except at opposite ends of said line of weakness in order to effect a shearing stress in addition to a bending stress at said fracture line of weakness, which causes said door cover portion to separate from said remaining cover portion when said door cover portion is pivoted open.
