Title: Improvements in Cameras and Shutters.
Inventor: DEUTSCH HANS
IPC: G03B17/42
Filed: 1910-11-02
Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 25,463. Deutsch, H. Nov. 2. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Magazine hand cameras with connected action between shutter and changing - mechanism; shutters.-A device for preventing two exposures on the same plate or film consists of a spring-controlled trigger capable of being kept in two different positions by a spring. The trigger is moved, on actuating the shutter-operating arm, into such a position that it automatically locks the arm at the end of its return motion. The device is applicable for magazine plate and film cameras or for roll-film cameras, and the trigger is automatically released on actuating the plate-changing mechanism, or by winding the spool for a fresh exposure. The device is also adapted to shutters requiring two actuations to complete the exposure. According to one construction, the trigger 11, Fig. 1, is held in two different positions by the spring 13, which works the trigger by the heel 14. On depressing the operating-knob 4, a projection 9 engages the projection 15 of the trigger and pushes the trigger over, so that on the return motion of the knob, the end 16 of the trigger springs into the notch 10 and prevents a second actuation until the trigger is released and returned to its original position on operating the sliding rod 20 by a key 19. This same movement may be adapted to actuate the changing-mechanism of a magazine camera. In a modification for shutters requiring a double actuation for time exposures, a rod 32, Fig. 5, moves a pivoted rod 26 into the dotted position, in which it rests on one of the teeth of the star-wheel 27. On actuating the knob 4, the ratchet-wheel 28 is actuated by the lever and pawl 29, and the rod 26 drops into the lower position across two teeth of the star-wheel and holds the end 16 of the trigger away, so that it does not engage in the notch 10. On the second actuation, the star-wheel is again turned to raise the rod 26, leaving the end 16 free to engage in the notch 10 until released by the rod 20. Alternatively again, the trigger 11, Fig. 9, may be pivoted on the spindle 4 and made to engage with a fixed projection 33 and a recess 34. In a further modification for a roll-spool camera, the shutter arm 35, Fig. 6, is a stamping, and the trigger 11 is actuated by a flexible shaft 44 extending into the spool chamber. An arm 42 is keyed on the winding- handle and winds the bobbin 36, either by engaging a pin 43 on the bobbin, or by engaging the edge of a short slot 49 cut in the flange of the bobbin. The trigger is reset on each complete revolution of the arm 42, and the shaft 44 is returned by the spring 45. In case the winding -arm should be stopped after winding in the position in which the arm 44 is depressed, the slot 49 in the bobbin flange allows the spring 45 to return the shaft 44 and lift the arm 42.

Abstract: 22,050. Grahl, G. de. Sept. 27. Mechanical stoking. - Fuel is fed into a furnace from below by one or more scoops adapted to revolve about an horizontal axis adjacent to the fuel shoot and furnace grate so that the fuel is raised from the shoot by the scoops and discharged into the furnace by rakes operated during part of the revolution of the scoop. As applied to a locomotive, the stoker consists of a drum 5 rotatably mounted on a shaft 6, which may be one of the axles of the locomotive, and arranged between the end of a fuel shoot 4 and the front end of the grate 2. The drum 5 is rotated by ratchet gearing driven by an eccentric 30 on one of the axles 29 through a system of links and levers, the speed of the drum being varied by adjusting by a system of hand-operated levers the position of the slider 11 in the oscillating slotted lever 13. The periphery of the drum is provided with scoops 36, within which are mounted rakes 34 pivoted at 33 in the end walls of the drum. The rakes are adapted to occupy two positions alternately, namely inclined inwards against the stops 35, and flush with the periphery of the drum. As the scoops 36 approach the fuel-shoots 4, a roller 39, Fig. 8. on a lever 37 attached to one of the rake pivots 33, engages a cam 41, secured to the casing of the shoot 4, which forces the rake inwards against the stop 35 so as to allow the scoop 36 to receive fuel. Further rotation of the drum causes the roller 39 to engage with a cam 40, which serves to force the rake outwards and feed the fuel on to the grate. The fuel is also moved forwards towards the rear of the grate owing to the rotary movement of the drum. According to a modification shown in Fig. 9, the drum is provided with two scoops, the rakes of which are connected by a rod 45 pivotally attached to the levers 37 at 46. One cam 40 only is necessary which serves to move the upper rake outwards to discharge the fuel from the upper scoop and move the lower rake inwards to allow the lower scoop to receive fuel. This arrangement may be adopted with drums provided with more scoops than two.
