[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a package for a simple camera (hereinafter, referred to as a "film unit with a lens") in which a film which can be photographed in advance cannot be taken out by a general user.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, photographing is usually carried out by loading a camera with a film. However, a small number of people always carry a camera, and there is an inconvenience that the camera is not at hand when they want to shoot. In that case,
You can purchase a film unit with a lens from the nearest store at a low price, just like purchasing a normal photo film. After taking a picture, you can request a DPE for each of the film units with a lens, just like a conventional photo film. It is convenient.

In order to satisfy such a demand, the present applicant has provided a film unit with a lens “Sharan Run Hi” (trade name) (trade name) having a lens attached to a 35 mm size film on July 1, 1987.

[0004]

Heretofore, such a film unit with a lens has been conventionally covered with a paper outer cover on the main surface of the film unit and further packaged in a moisture-proof aluminum bag. After the film unit with the lens is taken out, it is discarded and there is a problem in terms of resource saving.

On the other hand, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-56931 discloses a concept in which an outer box of a film unit with a lens is formed by a detachable cover and a part which is always covered on the unit.
This box is not for moisture-proof packaging. The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a package of a lens-fitted film unit that can effectively use the package.

[0006]

According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, an unexposed film is preliminarily incorporated in a light-shielding container, and the unexposed film is exposed through a photographing lens provided in the light-shielding container to expose an object. In a package for covering a film unit with a lens for photographing on an exposure film, the package includes a package part on the front side, a top surface, and a back surface of the film unit with a lens. When the outer packaging piece is peeled off from the inner packaging piece, at least the photographing lens and the external operating member are exposed through the opening formed in the inner packaging piece when the outer packaging piece is peeled from the inner packaging piece. One side of the outer package is inseparably connected to the package on the side of the lens-fitted film unit.

[0007]

According to the present invention, when a part of the outer surface of the package is removed, the photographing lens, the external operation member, and the like are exposed, so that the photographing operation of the lens-fitted film unit can be performed with the package covered. Most of the packages can be used effectively.
