Title: Kinetoscopes.
Inventor: GALL ADOLPH FRANZ
IPC: G03B21/32
Filed: 1912-09-03
Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 20,058. Gall, A. F. Oct. 12, 1911, [Convention date]. Kinematographic apparatus; optical-projection apparatus.-A kinematograph with a fixed projection lens 38 and reversible feed-mechanism is adapted to project successively two or more parallel rows of pictures carried on a single film by arranging the film and feed-mechanism on an auxiliary frame 28 adjustable laterally on guide-rods in the main frame 26 through the rack 45 and pinion 46 to bring any row of pictures opposite the lens 38, the frame 28 being then automatically yieldingly locked in position. The plate 29 of the film-gate carried by the frame 28 has an exposure opening 50 for each row of pictures and at the sides of each opening 50 has raised slides 62, against which the film is held by the spring-pressed plate 63 on the hinged part 30 of the film-gate. The feed-mechanism, which is of the Geneva type, is driven from the shaft 31 journaled in the main frame 26. The arm 57 and the disk 60 are splined to the continuously rotating shaft 31, the pin 58 on the arm 57 intermittently drives the shaft 44 through the radial slots 56 in the disk 55 and the disk 60 co-operates with the concave sides of a disk 59 to lock the shaft 44 between feed movements. The pinion 43 on the shaft 44 engages with the spur-wheel 51 on the shaft 41, which carries the toothed sprocket drum 40. Back-lash between the pinion 43 and the spur-wheel 51 on reversal of direction of feed is avoided by mounting rotatably on the spur-wheel 51 a duplicate spurwheel 42 which, by the spring 52 pressing against the shaft 41 and against the pins 53, 54 attached respectively to the wheels 51, 42, is yieldingly held in a position in which the teeth on the combined spur-wheels as a whole are wider than the teeth of either spur-wheel. A clutch 70 is provided with the driving-pulley 69 of each reel to wind the film on to the reel, or to allow it to be wound off, according to the direction of movement of the film. A film tension roller 73, yieldingly mounted for swing- ing movement, is provided on each reel spindle, the yielding mounting, such as the spring 74 being so arranged as to offer frictional resistance to rotation of the reel. A film magazine may surround the reel and be adapted to move about the reel spindle with the film-tension roller. A lens 39 is provided for the projection of lantern slides and the lamp-house 25 is pivotally mounted on the base 80 by links 81 so as to be movable in a circle in order to enable the source of light to be brought opposite either lens 38 or 39, or the lamp-house to be brought to a position remote from the frame 26 to allow of opening the film-gate. Means are provided for automatically and yieldingly locking the lamp-house in any of these three positions. Each lens mount is provided with a handle 88 which projects through a curved slot 78 in a tubular member 77 so that by rotation of the handle 88 the lens can be focused and by means of the threaded sleeve 79 is locked in the focused position.

Title: Improvements in Mechanism for Withdrawing One or More Horsehairs at a Time from a Bundle of such Hair.
Inventor: FRANK NORBERT
IPC: D02G3/14
Filed: 1912-10-03
Granted: 1913-01-30
Abstract: 22,543. Frank, N. Feb. 19, [Convention date]. [Addition to 20,734/12.] Feeding hairs singly from bundles to spinning- apparatus.-The pincers of the mechanism described in the parent Specification are caused to move in a straight line parallel to the bundle of horsehair when withdrawing one or more hairs. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the pincers are connected by slots 4, 4<1> with crank-disks 6, 6<1>, and at the front are provided with stops or rollers 7, which are caused to bear against the sides of straight guides 3 by a spring 10 fixed at one end to the shaft 9 and at the other to the pincers, which thus project through the guides a definite amount. The space between the guides is wider at the top and bottom than in the middle portion, to allow the introduction of the pincers and the release of the hairs respectively. During a halfrevolution of the crank-disks, the pincers are compelled to move longitudinally downwards in a straight line, and they are returned to their original position by the pins 5, 5<1> bearing against the right-hand ends of the slots 4, 4<1>. In a modification, a spring 14, Fig. 6, bears against the end of the pincers, and the longitudinal movement is effected by a crank-pin and slotted connexion with the pincers and a cam 19 acting upon a roller 20 on the pincers. The crank 23 may actuate the pincers through the medium of a connecting-rod 25.

Abstract: 14,591. Skaupy, F. Nov. 27, 1912, [Convention date]. [Addition to 29,104/12.] Vacuum tubes.-A lamp containing rare gases as described in the parent Specification now has a constricted passage to the cathode pocket so that there is no rectilinear path into the lighting tube from the cathode spot, which is always close to the wall of the pocket. Entrance of sodium or other electrode metal into the tube is thus prevented, and the discharge is rendered steadier. The passage may be formed by a funnel, Fig. 2, seated within or integral with the tube, or, if an inner cathode vessel is provided, this inner vessel may be made with a re-entrant tube, Fig. 3, or with an upwardly-extending neck. At its lower end the inner vessel may have a capillary opening through which a conductor passes. When an inner cathode vessel is provided the size of the cathode pocket may be reduced.
