Abstract: 23,591. Darling, A., and Wrench, A. Nov. 9. Kinematographic apparatus; cameras.- Relates to apparatus taking photographs in rapid succession or one ata time, for printing from ribbon negatives, and for optical projection. As shown in longitudinal section, Fig. 3, the sensitized film is drawn, intermittently, from a bobbin i by hooks j which catch in perforations in the ribbon and are pulled down by a crank on the axis f<4> and connecting-rod k<2>. The hooks are pressed into the perforations and withdrawn by the cam edge of the crank disc, against which they are pressed by a spring. The axis f<4> is geared to the rotating shutter f, and may be turned directly by an external crank or by a crank on a second shaft f<5> geared to f<4> by multiplying-gear. The slow movement is used for single exposures, and the quick movement for kinematographic pictures. The ribbon, after exposure through the lens e, is delivered through the slot l<1> into a storage chamber c<1>, two chambers being contained in the casing c, which can be detached from the camera and reversed. For printing, the bobbin i is replaced by a case containing two bobbins, one containing the negative ribbon and the other the printing-ribbon. The printed ribbon passes into the chamber c<1>, while the negative ribbon passes out through the slit a<1>. For optical projection, the chamber c is replaced by a suitable source of light. The shutter ueed for single exposures is shown in Fig. 8. It consists of a disc q actuated by a spiral spring q<5>. When set, a projection q<3> on the disc is held by a spring catch q<4>. For a time exposure, the catch q<4> is forced back by a knob p which leaves it so that a projection q<8> catches on q' and holds the shutter open till another knob p<1> is pushed to release it. For rapid exposures, the knob p<1> alone is pushed.

Patent GB-190010636-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Automatic Tripping Mechanism for Operating the Switch or Gate of Harvester Rakes.
Inventor: EVANS-JACKSON JOHN EDWARD
Filed: 1900-06-11
Granted: 1901-04-20
Abstract: 10,636. Evans-Jackson, J.E., [Milwaukee Harvester Co.]. June 11. Reaping and harvesting machines.-Relates to means for operating the switch which controls the movement of the platform rakes of reaping- machines, and consists, in addition to the usual automatic tripping-mechanism, of means whereby, if a lever be held depressed, all the rakes can be made to pass above the platform, or, if the lever be momentarily depressed, any rake can be made to sweep the platform independently of the automatic tripping-mechanism. The switch d is provided with a spring e, which tends to hold the switch d open and cause the rakes to pass to the inner cam track 7 and thus sweep the platform. The switch d is closed against the action of the spring e, as shown in Fig. 3, so that the rakes pass to the outer cam track 8, and thus pass above the platform by a latch f, which is operated automatically at predetermined intervals to allow certain rakes to sweep the platform. The rake roller in passing on the track 7 bears against a tail k on the switch d, and returns it to its normal position. The latch f is held against the spring e by its engagement with the side of a casing h in which the tripping-mechanism is arranged. The latch f is raised out of engagement with the side of the casing h by a lever j, Fig. 5, operated step by step by an actuating-pawl l and a retaining- pawl r. The pawl l is connected to a lever m, Fig. 3, operated by a cam n on the rake shaft o. An adjustable stop is provided in the usual way to limit the backward movement of the lever j under the action of its spring q, Fig. 5, and thus control the automatic tripping-mechanism. The means for independently operating the switch consist of two bell-crank levers y and z mounted on the same spindle as the lever j. One arm of the lever y is connected by a link 2 to a foot-lever by which it is operated. The other end of the lever y, when raised, comes in the path of a projection 3 on the latch f, and prevents the movement of the latter to release the switch d as long as the footlever is held depressed. A spring 4, Fig. 7, returns the lever y to its normal position when the foot-lever is released. The lever y by means of a lug also operates the lever z, which is formed with a projection which lifts the latch f out of engagement with the side of the casing h, so that the switch is released as soon as the foot-lever is released. If the switch should at that instant not be free, the lever z is held raised by the gravity catch 5 taking under the end of the lever z. As soon as the switch is free, the catch f being still held raised, it is opened by the action of the spring e, and a rake sweeps the platform. An incline on the latch f causes the gravity catch 5 to release the lever z, which then falls to its normal position.

Granted: 1900-08-04
Abstract: 12,016. Ryan, T. J. July 3. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to controlling means for electrically - propelled vehicles, and comprises combined current controlling and reversing switches in which a single handle common to both is adapted to operate each independently, while the reversing-switch can be operated only when the motor circuit is open. Two forms of the invention are shown. In the one shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the reversing-switch o is worked by rotating the grip portion of the handle g, while the controlling action is effected by adjusting the arm e bodily over contacts d. A pin s and bar t prevent the actuation of the reversing-switch unless the arm e is in proper position. In the form shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the switch arm e can be moved across a slot 2 so as to be adjusted for controlling purposes along the contacts d on either side of the interposed bar y, the contacts r, t effecting reversal. In this modification, the arm e may be made to operate a brake lever 3, the slot 2 being long enough to render it optional whether the brake is applied when reversal is effected.
