Abstract: 21,561. Peczenik, C. E., and Maskens, A. Oct. 7. Cameras ; shutters.-In a collapsable reflector hand camera, the horizontal focussing-screen and the inclined reflector can both be swung into the camera back, and the shutter is automatically operated by the reflector when it is moved into a horizontal position for the exposure. The camera body is provided with bellows C, Fig. 1, and a collapsable hood E, and the lensboard A is held in position by arms pivoted to the camera back B. The focussing-screen F, pivoted on a spindle F<1>, is held horizontally by a stop on a leaf spring engaging in a notch in the milled head F<2>, Fig. 2. The mirror plate G' is carried on the spindle G', journalled in the pivoted frame H, by a spring or otherwise, but when the focussing-screen is dropped, it carries the mirror with it, and they assume the position shown dotted in Fig. 1, leaving the camera free to collapse. The focal plane shutter contains the two blinds on the rollers M, N, connected by the elastic band 0, and the slit is adjusted by the clutch member N', Fig. 2, round which the bind O passes, and which may be disengaged from the roller N. When setting the shutter, the pawl P engages the tcothed wheel M<2> as both blinds are being wound (n the upper roller M against the action of the spring N<1> in the lower roller. To make the exposure, the plate G<1> is raised to a horizontal position by the pneumatic bulb K<1> contained in the fixed cradle K, when the projection H' of the frame H depresses the rod Q, and releases the pawl P from engagement with the wheel M'. Alternatively, the focussing-screen may be made removable when the camera is closed up, and the shutter operated by the mirror plate by means of a system of connected gear-wheels.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the so-called Pigment Process and to New Copying Materials for use therein
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1904-12-05
Granted: 1905-09-07
Abstract: 26,456. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Dec. 5. Chromo-gelatine processes; printing; sensitized plates and films.-Paper films &c. are coated with ferric salts which are reducible by light, and with metallic salts which form insoluble salts with neutral chromates but not with bichromates. Such paper is printed under a negative and gives a visible image, and is then treated with a bichromate solution. The reduced iron salt yields a chromate which acts upon the other metallic salt to form an insoluble chromate. The paper is washed and pressed against a pigment paper soaked in dilute acid. The insoluble chromate is dissolved by the acid, and diffuses into the pigment layer and produces an insoluble positive image which may be developed by hot water Suitable metallic salts to give the insoluble chromates are copper or nickel sulphates, or mercuric chloride. Alum may be added to fix the pigment to the paper. Ferric chloride, or ferriammonium citrate are suitable iron salts.

Title: Driving Mechanism for Cycles & Motor Driven Road Vehicles
Filed: 1905-04-08
Granted: 1906-04-05
Abstract: 7458. Abingdon Works Co., and Gray, J. April 8. Motor road vehicles.- Relates to two - speed driving-gear for the hubs or pedal brackets of cycles and motor road vehicles, and also balance - geared driving- axles of the kind described in Specification No. 7752, A.D. 1892, [Abridgment Class Velocip o d e s &c.], and No. 19,278, A.D. 1901. Figs. 1 and 2 show the application to a cycle driving- wheel hub. An intermediate member D, mounted on an inclined axis C, is formed with teeth D<1>, D<2> on oppcsite sides, which gear respectively with teeth B' on the driving-member B and teeth E<3> on a driven member secured to the hub E. At one speed, the driving and driven members rotate together, the axis C of the intermediate member being locked to the driven member, The other speed, which is higher or lower according to the proportions of the toothed members, is obtained by locking the axis of the intermediate member to a fixed part of the cycle. For locking purposes, an extension C<1> of the axis of the intermediate member is provided with a pawl plate F carrying on opposite sides pawls F<1>, F<2>, connected by a link, the pawl F<1> being normally pressed by a spring H into engagement with teeth E<4> on the member so as to lock the driving and driven members together. The operating wire or rod K then holds the lever I, which is pivoted to a fixed arm, against the pull of a spring L, so that the pawl F<2> revolves freely. To change the speed, the spring L is allowed to pull the lever I into the position shown in Fig. 2, which shows the mechanism in the act of changing speed. The buffer spring J and end of the lever then catch the end of the rotating pawl F<2>, thereby causing it to engage a fixed projection G<1>, and at the same time disengaging the pawl F'. The pawl plate F and the axis of the intermediate member are thus locked against rotation in either direction. In a modified form, the intermediate member is locked either to the driven member or to a fixed part of the. cycle by a sliding clutch. A further modification is shown in Fig. 4 applied to the pedal bracket of a cycle. The driving-member having teeth B<1>, is fixed to the pedal axle B, and the driven member with teeth E<3> is connected to the chain-wheel E, which is mounted on the fixed shell A. The intermediate member is provided with a projecting arm carrying a spring-controlled pawl F<1>, which engages face teeth B<2> on the driven member, thus giving the normal speed by locking the driven and intermediate members together. Change of speed is effected by the stop I, which is lowered into the path of the pawl F<1>, thus disengaging it. The intermediate member is then held against backward rotation by a toothed ring c', also carried by the projecting arm, engaging a spring-controlled pawl F<2>. In a modification, the two-speed gear is combined with a balance-geared driving-axle of the kind described in the abovementioned Specifications.

Sun-pinions C, D secured to the driving-shaft A are in mesh with long planet pinions EF in mesh, through idler pinions GH with an anchored pinion I and with a pinion J on the driven shaft B, respectively. The pinion F is carried by a disk K<1> running loose on the shaft A and provided with ratchet teeth L on its face. These teeth are engaged by pawls M carried by segments N connected by links N' to pins p, which may be moved towards or from the axes of the pinions E to vary the speed. The pins p are fixed to plates p<1> pivoted at 0 to sleeves P passing through and rotating with the pinions E. By sliding a sleeve Q, which operates scrolls q, spindles f<2> may be rotated, and these spindles carry disks f<1> which have pins f projecting into slots in the plates p<1>, serving to rotate them. When the pins p come into line with the axes of the pinions E, no motion is transmitted, but the planet elements roll round on the pinions I, J, respectively. In a modification, the idler pinions are dispensed with by arranging the pinions C, D as internally-toothed wheels. In this case, the spindles corresponding to the spindles f<2> are rotated by toothed gearing operated by a lever.
