Title: Improvements in or relating to Photographic Cameras for Photographing Meters or for other purposes.
Inventor: POND EDWARD CLEMENT
IPC: G03B17/24
Filed: 1910-05-19
Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 12,318. Pond, E. C. May 19. Tell-tale apparatus; shutters with pivoting disks; magazine hand cameras for roll films w i t h connected action between shutter and changing-mechanism. - Photographic tell-tale apparatus is described for recording the readings of meters &c. or for other purposes such as for photographing a watchman as he makes his record. The apparatus comprises a casing with an electric light in one part and a camera in another part. On actuating the shutter lever, a strip of film is automatically fed from the supply spool, contact then made to switch in the light, the lens exposed, and on the return of the lever, the take-up spool automatically winds up the loose strip of film. The upper part of the case 1, Fig. 1, is fitted with bellows 9, an opening 8, mirror 5, and light 6. The lamp circuit is connected to the strip 42 and to the shutter lever 37, Fig. 2. The shutter consists of a disk 26 with an exposure aperture 27, and works between limiting-stops 34, 35. In actuating the lever 37 to the dotted position, a curved extension 41 engages a stop 33 holding the disk until the lever is right over and the spring 30 has become considerably flexed, whereupon the opening 27 is brought and maintained in register with the lens opening 13. By means of the flexible cord 45, the feed-roller mechanism 25 is also operated, and draws a strip of film from the supply spool 22, and when drawn right over, the lever 37 makes contact with the strip 42 to complete the lamp circuit. The camera casing slides into the lower part of the casing 1, and comprises the spool chambers and exposure chamber 15. The film passes from the spool 22 over the felted back 18, which is hinged to the camera casing, and between the feed-spools 25, and is wound on the take-up spool 23. The rollers 25, 23 are geared from the shaft 49, which is operated by the cord 45 attached to the shutter lever and to the head 47 fastened to the arm 48. The pin 57 projects far enough to limit the motion of the arm 48 by engaging the sides of the plate 53 on which the gearing is mounted. The feed-rollers 25 are actuated from the shaft 49 by a wheel 50, looselv mounted on the shaft 49 and driven by a pawl and ratchetwheel. The wheel 50 in turn actuates the gearing to the rollers 25. The cord 45 and shaft 49 are returned by a spring on the shaft, and in returning, a second wheel, loosely mounted on the shaft 49 and also driven by another pawl and ratchet-wheel is rotated and in turn actuates the gearing for the take-up spool 23, which now winds up the slack film. A reverse motion of the wheels on the shaft 49 is prevented by spring pawls engaging one of the gear - wheels. A spring 24 bears on the spool 22, and prevents it from rotating too freely. A friction device for preventing the spools from rotating too freely consists of a bent bracket 69, Fig. 9, furnished with bearings for the spool shaft, and with a spring 70 bearing against the shaft.
