Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1903-04-21
Granted: 1903-09-03
Abstract: 9014. Imray, O., [Rochester Optical and Camera Co.]. April 21. Dark slides ; sensitized films.-Relates to an adapter or holder for containing a flat package of separate flat films and no constructed that it may be inserted in or combined with a camera. The body 2 of the holder is provided with an exposure opening 3, which is closed by a slide 5, and is surrounded by flanges 4<a> forming a seat for the films. The opening for the insertion of the films is closed by a cover 8, which is hinged to the body by means of strap-hangers supporting a pintle to which the cover is connected. Extensions 11 of the cover serve to prevent the displacement of the pintle, and these extensions together with flanges 12 fit in countersunk recesses in the body to prevent displacement of the cover. The cover is retained by swinging catches 13 when in the closed position. The films are provided with backing- sheets 15 having extensions 16 terminating in filmmanipulating tabs 17, which project through a passage 6 in the body 2. A flange 13<a> on the cover, provided with a support 13<b>, forms a side wall of the passage 6 and acts as a tearing edge for the extensions 16 of the backing-sheets. The holder is designed particularly to receive the film packages described in Specification No. 9013, A.D. 1903.

Abstract: 9323. Carpentier, J. May 25, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Cameras; change-boxes ; plate and like receptacles.-Apparatus for changing films which are attached to paper bands consists of two separate chambers or boxes, one holding unexposed films on their supports, and the other exposed films after removal from their supports. Fig. 13 shows the back of the camera with the change-box in position. The films D are in this case attached to a continuous band of paper by gummed strips at two corners. Separate papers may be used for each film. The spring e and the plate f keep the first film up to the front of the box B containing the unexposed films. To change a film, the tab h is pulled. This pulls the exposed film round the pieces j, n, and when the end of the film reaches the point of the triangular knife q, which is fixed to the box C, the strips which attach the film to the paper are broken by the knife entering between the film and the paper. The films only are stored in the receiver C, which may hold several such packs of films as will fill the magazine D.

Granted: 1906-08-23
Abstract: 1503. Campbell, A. J., and Campbell, R. H. Jan. 19. Storing under pressure.-Capsules or containers for compressed or liquefied gas are made from tubes swaged down at each end to form a neck, which is recessed to receive a cap 3 and washer 4, secured by turning over the end of the neck. After use, they may be converted into similar capsules of less length. One end of the capsule may, however, be provided with a valvular arrangement, Fig. 8, secured in a similar manner to the cap 8, or simply screwing into the neck of the capsule, or into a gland screwed into the neck. To adapt such capsules to receptacles to be charged, a screw-thread is provided upon the neck of the capsule, or a projecting portion of the metal fitting 6 for the valve, or the valve stem 9, which thread engages with a thread in the receptacle. The screw-threads are protected by removable caps, and elastic washers are provided to make the necessary air-tight joints during the discharge of compressed gas. Fig. 10 shows a washer 14 located within the metal fitting 6 and adapted to receive the nozzle of the attachment to the receptacle receiving the discharged gas.

Abstract: 7309. Lock, W. H., and Lawless, P. C. March 27. Linotype machines.-Relates to means for adjusting the distance apart of the trimming-knives simultaneously with or independently of the width of the mould, and also to means for varying the length of the mould. The cap-plate 1 of the mould has tabs 2, 3 sliding in guides in the bodypiece of the mould, and is moved by means of eccentrics 16 working in slots in the tabs. Arms 19, on the shafts of the eccentrics, are connected by a link 20 pivoted to a link 21 carrying a,socket 22 which slides.in a curved guide 23. Une of :the trimming-knives 9 is movable to and from the fixed knive 10 by means of a slide 13 having slots in which work eccentrics 33: The eccentrics are connected, by arms 35 and links 36, 37, ,with .an arm 31 on a shaft 25. A lever 28, loosely mounted on the shaft 25, has a pin 29 adapted to enter the socket 22, and a pin 30 which has a sliding connexion with the arms 31. The lever 28 is urged in a direction away from the mould by a spring 38 so that the pin 29 is clear of the socket 22. On rotation of the lever 28 by means of a handle 39, the knives will be adjusted independently of .the mould. To enable the mould and the knives to be adjusted together, the lever 28 is pushed along the shaft 25 against the action of the spring 38, so that the pin 29 enters the socket 22. In a modification, racks and pinions are used instead of eccentrics for moving the cap-plate 1 and the knife 9. To enable the length of the mould to be varied, the body-piece 4, Fig. 13, is provided with a detachable block 42. This is removed and a block 40, Fig. 14, of the same length is secured to the tab of the cap-plate 1. The length of the mould can be varied between these limits by means of a number of blocks 40, 42 of different lengths.
