Title: Improvements in and relating to Reflex Cameras.
IPC: G03B19/12
Filed: 1912-01-30
Granted: 1913-01-23
Abstract: 2446. Holmes, H., Edwards, V. W., and Houghtons, Ltd. Jan. 30. Cameras, reflex.-A light shield for covering the focusing-screen consists of two plates 24, Fig. 1, which are moved from the position shown in Fig. 1 to cover the aperture just before the mirror is raised. The shutter also is simultaneously closed, and after an exposure the mirror is reset before the focusing-screen is uncovered and the shutter reopened. Fig. 1 shows the parts in position for focusing. On the shutter casing 16, Fig. 4, an auxiliary lever 38 is pressed by the action of the shutter spring 34<a> and levers and links 34, 35, 33, and 33<a> into the position shown in dotted lines, thereby operating the spring-controlled lever 40 and the ring 38<a> which opens the shutter blades. To effect an exposure, the operating-finger outside the camera moves a sliding plate 1, which, through a pin 5 and link 6 rocks the lever 7 and thereby, through the action of the pin 21 and horizontal portion of the cam slot 22, rocks the lever 23, turning a crank arm 29 controlling the plates 24, which are thereby moved to cover the focusing-screen before the lower fork of the lever 7 raises the pin 9 on the mirror; at the same time the pin 5 through a connexion 11<a> moves a second sliding plate 12 carrying a plate 32, which depresses the lever 33 to release the lever 38 and allow the shutter blades to close. On further depression of the operating-finger, the lever 7 raises the mirror, and the further motion of the plate 32 actuates the shutter through the links 35, 34, 34<b>. The parts are returned to position after exposure by the springs 11, 4 acting on the lever 7 and slides 12, 11<a> respectively.

Abstract: 14,839. Gounevitch, E. de. June 25. Corkscrews.-Relates to corkscrews of the type in which the continuous turning movement of the handle first causes the screw to penetrate the cork and then causes the cork to be withdrawn, and in which the corkscrew is carried by a screwed rod normally turned by the handle, means being provided for releasing the rod from the bandle. According to the present invention, the screwed rod c, Figs. 1 and 5, is carried by a tubular extension of the handle f and is capable of longitudinal movement within, but never reaches the top of the handle. A catch l, Fig. 1, pivoted in the handle is either released automatically by engaging the top of the frame a when the corkscrew has entered the cork, or, for short corks, it may be released by band when the corkscrew has penetrated sufficiently. In a modification, Fig. 5, the catch l engages the top of the screwed rod, and in this form is released by hand.

Abstract: 4249. Fierz, H. E., and Cahen, E. Feb. 19. Dry processes of extracting nickel; roasting. -In the extraction of nickel as carbonyl from a mixture of metals, reduced from their oxides by gas containing carbon monoxide, contact with carbon monoxide is avoided during the period when the temperature is lowered to enable the formation of carbonyl to proceed. A mixture of copper and nickel oxides, obtained by roasting the corresponding sulphides at a temperature of 680-720‹ C., and treating with sulphuric acid, is reduced with producer gas at a temperature preferably above 280‹ C., but not exceeding 500‹ C. Hydrogen is passed through the reduction chamber to displace all carbon monoxide, whereupon the temperature is reduced to 50‹ C., and pure carbon-monoxide is passed over the metals.
