Abstract: 1140. Bolam. T. H., and Barnard, S. N. Jan. 15. [Cognate Application, 15,656/10.] Kinematograph apparatus. - In kinematographic apparatus of the type in which a large number of successive small photographs are arranged in a helical path upon a cylinder, the film b is adapted to be detachably affixed to the rotary drum a in such a manner that it is tightly held around this drum in a more or less rigid manner. This may be effected either by mounting the film on a cylinder which is adapted to be slipped on to the drum in a manner analogous to that of a phonograph cylinder, or by having the pictures on a flexible flat strip provided at each end with a transverse rod adapted to fit into a transverse slot in the drum. Intermittent rotation and longitudinal movement of the drum a are obtained simultaneously by rotating the drum a intermittently through a toothed wheel a<4> and a long pinion e<8> driven by a Geneva-stop mechanism, an internal projection a<3> on the drum a engaging a screw thread on the stationary shaft c so that, as the drum is intermittently rotated, it is also moved longitudinally. The shaft c is provided with right and left handed threads so that the drum may be translated for observation in the direction opposite to that in which it was translated for exposure. Interchangeable parts i are adapted to be fitted to the apparatus, these parts being provided with suitable lenses to enable the apparatus to be used either for taking, observing, or projecting pictures. If stereoscopic effects are desired, two lenses may be employed side by side to take a dual series of pictures on the film.

Abstract: 4282. Jenkins, D. R. Feb. 21. Slide valves.-A valve box having two sets of ports, one for steam and one for exhaust, is used in a pickling-machine, in order to enable a jerky motion to be imparted to the cradles. The upper ports C' connect with the steam cylinder and also with the steam-inlet pipe c<3>, and the cylindrical valve c<6> is formed with an annular depression c<6>*. Steam passes to the cylinder when the valve is lowered, and escapes to the exhaust pipe c<2> when the valve is raised. The movement of the valve is effected by a connexion with a bell-crank lever the ends of which are alternately engaged by a tappet on the piston-rod. The valve may be operated by hand to allow a longer travel of the piston-rod after the pickling, in order to raise the plates from the tanks.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Dials and Index Hands of Indicating Apparatus.
Inventor: SIMONSSON WILHELM
IPC: G01G23/20
Filed: 1910-03-16
Granted: 1910-12-22
Abstract: 6648. Simonsson, W. March 16. Index hands; preventing lost motion.-Relates to indicating-apparatus, for use in connexion with weighing-scales and dynamometers, of the type comprising a graduated scale of flat spiral form and an extensible or movable pointer co-operating therewith in all positions. According to the present invention a counterpoise for the extensible pointer adapted to adjust its position automatically, and means for preventing back-lash between the actuating and indicating parts are provided. Several constructions are described. In that shown in Fig. 1, the descent of the pan 6 of a weighing- apparatus rotates, by means of a rack and pinion, a dial 2 bearing a spiral scale 5, and also, by means of linkage of the lazy-tongs type, pivoted at its centre to the casing 1, elevates an indicating-pointer 14, so that it always co-operates with the scale. To prevent back-lash between the actuating and indicating parts, a chamber 37, Fig. 4, of volute form, containing a globule of mercury 39, is secured to the shaft operating the movable dial, or, where the dial is fixed, the chamber 37 may be attached to the shaft 16<a> of the pointer, which, in this case, is rotated through gearing 30, 31. In the construction shown in Fig. 3, the pointer is rotatable and also movable endways, and is counterbalanced by an adjustable weight 21 ; and in that shown in Fig. 10, a carrier 15 for the pointer is rotated by a shaft 16, and the pointer is simultaneously moved along the carrier by a pinion and rack. At the same time, a counterpoise 21<a> for the pointer is correspondingly moved in the opposite direction by a lazy-tongs connexion 44. In Fig. 8 is shown a gravity-controlled radially movable pointer 15, co-operating with a movable dial. frame. While the cam allows the frame to drop, friction of the moving coil on its pivots is obviated. The Specification, in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also imparting an oscillatory movement to the frame, about the axis of the pivots; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted

The buckets a are pivoted to each other at their inner corners, and are coupled at their outer edges by upwardly - projecting hinged links b. The shaft e of the triplewinch operating-gear is connected by a link b<1> to one bucket, and a casing c partially surrounding the central drum d is pivoted at a<3> to the other bucket. A coiled spring d<1> is arranged between the drum d and a fixed abutment, the drum being connected to the shaft e by a sliding pawl d<2> engaging a snail-cam e<2>. The hoisting-chain f is attached to the rim of the drum d, and a chain g is attached at each end to the shaft e, and is guided through supports g<1> at the upper end of the links b. A tripping-lever j<2> arranged to co-operate with a shoulder on the pawl d<2> is pivoted on the casing c and supports a rod j carrying a pawl j<1> for engaging an overhead ring. The shaft e also carries a loose cam h curved oppositely to the fast cam e<2>, and of larger radius. When the grab is closed, the chain g is wound on the side drums secured to the shaft e, and the chain f is uncoiled from the drum d. The load is released by the pawl j<1> engaging a ring, thereby lifting the rod and disengaging the drum d from its shaft. As the buckets open, the shaft e rotates in a backward direction, the cam e<2> engaging and carrying with it the loose cam h. As the shaft e rotates, the pawl d<2> is moved outwards by the spiral face of the cam h, so that the shaft e may make as many revolutions as is desirable. When the open grab rests on the material to be lifted and the hoisting-chain is paid out, the coiled spring rotates the drum d, and the pawl rides over the cam e<2> but engages the higher shoulder of the loose cam h. When the hoisting-chain is fully coiled on the drum d, it is hauled in, the grab is closed, and the spring is again put under tension. A buffer is arranged on the hinge. brackets a<1> or other suitable part of the buckets to prevent shock.
