- 2. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 1, wherein said circumferential end face portions of said first and second shells match each other so as to commonly form top and side faces of said covering, and said strip is disposed along said top and side faces of said covering.
- 3. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 2, wherein said strip is disposed circumferentially on said top and side faces of said covering.
- 4. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 3, wherein said strip is formed as a continuous part and is expandable for being drawn over said shells.
- 5. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 1, wherein said strip extends along a line intersecting a line of movement of said manually operable member of said core case.
- 6. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 1, wherein said manually operable member of said core case is covered by an elastic part of said strip and is actuatable by manually pressing said part of said strip.
- 7. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 1, wherein said manually operable member of said core case penetrates a recess commonly formed in said covering by oppositely arranged sections of said circumferential end face portions of said first and second shells.
- 8. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 1, wherein one of said first and second shells includes an opening for being penetrated by said film advance means of said core case.
- 9. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 1, wherein one of said first and second shells includes an opening at the position of a picture-taking lens of the core case.
- 10. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 1, further comprising at least one rotatable or movable manual control means provided at said core case wherein for each of said rotatable or movable manual control means of said core case there is disposed a corresponding slot in said first of second shell or said covering and sealing lips seal the edges of the slot against the rotatable or movable manual control means.
- 11. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 1, wherein at least one of said first and second shells forms an optically effective part constituting a picture-taking lens part, a viewfinder lens part, a magnifying lens of a picture number display or a diffuser for an electric flash unit built into said core case.
- 12. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 11, wherein said optically effective part is a picture-taking lens part formed by a meniscus which, together with an additional lens mounted in the core case forms the picture-taking lens.
- 13. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 12, wherein the additional lens is located on a shell-type part mounted on the core case, which matches the internal form of the shell which comprises the picture-taking lens part.
- 14. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 10, wherein the sealing lips taper outwards, towards the manual control means.
- 15. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 1, wherein said first and second shells are lined with printed thin card-board or paper or plastics.
- 16. A photographic roll-film pack comprising a light-proof core case with a roll-film removable therefrom, film advance means for advancing said roll-film, a picture-taking lens or an opening aligned with the optical axis of a picture-taking lens, a photographic shutter and at least one manually operable member; and a covering enclosing said core case further having a means to enable manual operation of said at least one manually operable member; wherein said covering comprises first and second shells are oppositely arranged with respect to said core case and each comprises a center portion and a circumferential end face portion extending from a plane of said center portion so as to surround said core case and to match each other; and wherein said core case has a projecting member, an said circumferential end face portions of said first and second shells commonly form at least one recess arranged so as to be penetrated by said projecting member of said core case.
- 17. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 16, wherein said at least one recess commonly formed by said circumferential end face portions of said first and second shells is arranged so as to be penetrated by a manually operable release member.
- 18. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 16, wherein said circumferential end face portions of said first and second shells match each other so as to commonly form top and side faces of said covering, and said at least one recess commonly formed by said circumferential end face portions of said first and second shells is arranged at a top face of said covering.
- 19. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 16, wherein said first and second shells are provided for being held together by a strip of flexible material disposed over adjoining end face portions of said shells.
- 20. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 16, wherein said first and second shells are lined with printed thin card-board or paper or plastics.
- 21. A photographic roll-film pack comprising a light-proof core case with a roll-film removable therefrom, film advance means for advancing said roll-film, a picture-taking lens or an opening aligned with the optical axis of a picture-taking lens, a photographic shutter and at least one manually operable member; and a covering enclosing said core case further having a means to enable manual operation of said at least one manually operable member; wherein said covering comprises first and second shells each comprises a center portion and a circumferential end face portion extending from a plane of said center portion, said covering having a counterpart portion, and said circumferential end face portion surrounding said core case and to match said counterpart portion of said covering, and wherein said circumferential end face portions of said first and second shells respectively extend in opposite directions to a plane arranged in parallel to and being approximately equal distances from oppositely disposed outer walls of said core case.
- 22. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 21, wherein said first and second shells are provided for being held together by a strip of flexible material disposed over adjoining end face portions of said shells.
- 23. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 21, wherein said first and second shells are provided for being held together by catch elements.
- 24. The photographic roll-film pack according to claim 21, wherein said first and second shells are welded together.
