Granted: 1899-04-01
Abstract: 3289. Lake, H. H., [International Machine Co.]. Feb. 14. Cutting-up.-Relates to a machine for cutting veneers into match splints and inserting these into a dipping-frame. Fig. 3 shows the machine in vertical section. The veneers 12 may be fed forwards from a box 11 by means of a plunger 13 and spring 14, or by other suitable means, and are successively forced towards a pair of cutting-rollers 29 by a plunger 17, which travels between guide-rollers 18. The plunger 17 may be connected to a beam 19, which is actuated by a rod 21, crank 22, cam lever 24, and cam 26 on the main shaft 27. The cutting-rollers 29 carry series of parallel knives 31, the edges of the knives on one roller overlapping the edges of the corresponding knives on the other roller, and being bevelled on the surfaces opposite those of contact. After the splints have been cut, they are guided towards a series of diverging shoots 38, by strippers or pointed plates 32, carried by bars 33, which have at their extremities pointed guard plates for deflecting extra splints cut from veneers which were too long. The shoots are covered by plates of glass 42. Between the strippers 32 and shoots 38 there may be mounted two feed-rollers 30, which may be geared with the cutting-rollers and driven by means of toothed gearing from the main shaft 27. The passage of the splints along the shoots is regulated by spring fingers 52, mounted upon rocking shafts 56, and having bent ends 54, which pass between the adjacent ends of the splints. The fingers are normally forced towards the splints by a spring acting upon the shafts 56, and are periodically drawn back by means of a cam 60, mounted on the shaft 27, and bearing against the upper end 59 of one of the fingers. Rollers 62, preferably covered with india-rubber, feed the splints into a frame 66, having series of vertical holes for receiving the splints. The splints are held within the holes by series of spring fingers carried by sliding bars fitted transversely within the frame ; these fingers are normally forced towards the holes by. springs acting upon the bars, and are moved away from the holes by means of a fixed wedge which presses against the bars as the frame passes beneath the shoots. The frame is moved intermittently beneath the shoots by means of a pawl 80 and ratchet bar 79, or by other suitable mechanism.

Title: Improvements in Photographic Cameras.
Inventor: TURNER SAMUEL NELSON
Filed: 1900-05-24
Granted: 1900-09-01
Abstract: 9564. Turner, S. N., and Kelley, F. H. May 24. Shutters; roller slides; cameras.-Relates to improvements in the bodies, roll-holders, and shutters of "roll-holder" cameras. The body is stamped from sheet metal, the top 3, Fig. 2, being soldered to the sides and the bottom having a groove and flange 5 to fit over the sides, thus rendering the body light-tight. The roll-holder 15, Fig. 7, is formed from a metal strip, and has inclined sides 34 to form pockets at the front to receive the spools 7, 8, journalled in lugs 16 bent out from the strip. The spool spindles 9 are preferably made alike, with squared upper ends. The top 3 is raised at 21 to accommodate the delivery spindle, and a turn-button 17 with a central square hole, and revolving in the top, fits over the take-up spindle. The lens 37 is mounted in a block 36 between the front ends of the strip. The back of the holder is cat out at 38 to expose the film, which passes behind, and is flanged at 39 to allow space for the film, the flanges resting against the back of the body. The position of the film is ascertained by a sight-hole at the back, through which numbers on the paper backing may be seen. Leaf springs 42 prevent the films from becoming loose on the spools. Fig. 6 shows an alternative method of connecting the turn-button to the take-up spindle. The button has a centre 31, on which is a collar with a flat to engage a segmental extension 30 on the hollow spindle 9. The shutter mechanism, Figs. 11 and 13, is mounted inside the front of the camera, which has a hole 24 registering with the lens. The shutter 47 is a segmental disc, pivoted at 46, and having a turnedup end 49. The shutter has a slot 48 serving to uncover the lens during the movement of the shutter from one extreme position to another, determined by pins 59, 60 on the camera front. The operating-lever 26, pivoted at 27, has a segmental operating end 29 to form a light-tight joint where it projects through the camera top. The lower end has a slot 52 always registering with the lens, and has a segmental end 51, with recesses 55, 56 and lugs 61, 62. The end 51 normally bears against a pin 53 on the shutter when the latter is in either of its extreme positions as shown in Fig. 13. A spring 57 is connected to the flange 49 and to a pin 58 on the lever. Assuming the shutter to be on the right and the operating-lever displaced as in Fig. 11, further movement of the lever causes the arm 61 to move the flange 49 to carry the lower end of the spring beyond the line of centres, bring- ing the recess 55 opposite the pin 53, and allowing the shutter to be rotated to the left by the tension of the spring, the parts then assuming the positions shown in Fig. 13. The exposure may then be repeated by moving the lever in the opposite direction, the shutter being always set. A " time " exposure may be effected by depressing a pivoted catch 63 into the path of a lug 66 on the shutter, and raising it again when desired.

Title: Improvements in Target Apparatuses and the like where no Projectile is Employed.
Inventor: MCCULLOUGH JOHN LEONARD
Filed: 1901-07-30
Granted: 1901-10-12
Abstract: 15,453. McCullough, J. L., and Connett, H. July 30. Rifle and gunnery practice, teaching. - Relates to electrical and coin-freed apparatus for indicating the spot of a target aimed at by a dummy rifle, gun, pistol, or the like when the trigger is pulled. The rifle G is fixed on a hollow stem 5 arranged to turn on a ball-andsocket joint 8, and imparts motion to a pointer 13 which moves over a disc 14 divided into a number of sections corresponding to the target sections. The movement of the rifle in a vertical plane is transmitted to the pointer by a ball-and-socket connection 5<a>, and the movement in a horizontal plane is transmitted through an arm 15, slotted lever 17 and a sliding block 11. The hammer 19 is cocked by a spring 20, and is pulled over by a spring 23, lever 29<a>, pulley 27, and cord 24, when the trigger 22 is pulled. The pointer is raised clear of the disc by a cord 29 attached to the spring lever 28<a>, and is forced down by a spring 12 into electrical contact with a segment of the disc when the hammer is released. The segments of the disc 14 are connected electrically by wires w with electromagnets behind an indicator of the same shape as the target, and the circuit is completed by a common return wire w<1> attached to the pointer. The armatures of the electromagnets carry marking- discs which are brought into view over the section aimed at, or marking spots on the indicator sections may be uncovered by the armatures. The value of the bull's-eye is indicated by an electric bell. The sections of the disc 14 are separated by wedgeshaped partitions of insulating-material, and the pointer is made flexible so that the point can be deflected to one side or other of the joint. Fig. 9 shows a portion of the coin-freed apparatus for turning the disc 27 against the action of the spring 23 in order to allow the hammer and trigger to be set back by the spring 20. In working the apparatus, a coin or disc C is dropped down the shoot 40, a handle connected to a disc 38 by a connecting-rod 41 is turned, a shoulder 39 of the disc 38 forces the coin and a flanged slotted segment 47 downwards, and the flange 49 acts on a shoulder 54 of a second disc 31 which rotates the shaft 28 by means of bevel gearing. The rotation of the disc 31 closes a spring contact circuit closer in the return wire by means of an arm and a cord passing round a friction stud, and the pulling of the trigger breaks the circuit again. On releasing the handle, the disc 38 is drawn back by a spring 46, and the coin drops into a box or shoot. To allow the rifle to be moved up and down to adapt it to the height of the marksman, the supporting frame 3 is counterbalanced by a weight attached to a cord passing over a pulley, and is formed with curved guide slots having the centre of curvature at the target. Guide pins or bolts are passed through the fixed frame and curved slots.
