Title: Improvements in Focal Plane Shutters
Inventor: NIELL MAGNUS
Filed: 1905-10-11
Granted: 1906-06-28
Abstract: 20,528. NiÚll, M. Oct. 11. Shutters, roller - blind. The width of the aperture is regulated by means of spring clips engaging and disengaging adjusting-tapes, and operated in connexion with the setting and releasing mechanism. In connexion with the release mechanism, a detent slides upon the pivoted release lever, acting as a time-stop when required. The hollow roller of the upper blind f, Fig. 2, is in frictional contact with the spindle, which carries end bosses on which the tapes of the lower blind f are wound. The spring clips k on the upper blind grip the tapes holding the blinds in fixed relative position. The aperture is altered when the blind has run down. The cam plate r, Fig. 6, of the setting and releasing mechanism is lowered, and moves the pin m sideways by means of the slot q<1>, thereby operating link connexions with pressure feet l to release the tapes from the clips k. The aperture is then adjusted by turning the set-. ting-wheel s<1>, the release pawl u having been swung out of action by the cam x<2> engaging the release push w. The detent t on the lever t<1> prevents overwinding the shutter. For instantaneous exposures, the plate r is raised, the correct position being indicated by the spring catch y, engaging a notch in the plate. The release lever is then in its operative position, and the catch t raised from the path of the stop s<2>. For time exposures, the plate r is raised farther, moving the time-lever u<1> along the release lever by means of the stud x<2> and pin, and into the path of the stop s<2>. The two ports u, u<1> act as an escapement, and a second release is necessary to complete the exposure.

Title: Improvements in Dynamo and Magneto Electric Current Generators for Therapeutic Purposes.
Inventor: GAIFFE GEORGES EUGENE
Filed: 1906-01-12
Granted: 1907-01-12
Abstract: 890. Gaiffe, G. E. Jan. 12. Dynamos; magneto-electric machines; dynamos, driving.-In generators producing non-interrupted undulatory currents of any periodicity and kind, (especially for use in therapeutics), in which the maximum electromotive force of each wave varies slowly and progressively so as to pass periodically through maxima and minima, the variations of the maximum electromotive force of the elementary waves are obtained by varying by the machine itself the mechanical or electrical condition either of the armature or inductor. The variations may be obtained in various ways :-(1) By relative displacement of the inductor and armature either by rotation, oscillation, or translation. For example, in Fig. 4, an armature a revolves between fixed polepieces b traversed by the flux of a magnet c, rotated by bevel pinions d, e from a shaft giving movement to the armature by spur-wheels f, g, h, an alternating current resulting with a frequency depending on the speed of rotation of the armature and with an electromotive force passing twice through a maximum during one revolution of the magnet. A current rectifier may be mounted on the magnet spindle. (2) By the combined action of two magnetic fields turning relatively to each other about the same armature. In Fig. 6, the magnet is fixed and the magnet c rotary, the armature a being rotated by the gearing shown much faster than the magnet c. (3) By connecting in series two armatures which revolve either in the same magnetic field or in two different magnetic fields with slightly-different velocities. (4) By a periodic displacement of the armature relative to the inductive field. In an example, Fig. 8, the magnet c is driven from the crank m controlled by the connecing-rod n pivoted on a sector o turning about a fixed point and moved by the connecting-rod p<2> pivoted to a crank p<1> upon a shaft driven from the handle q, which drives the armature through multiplying- gear. A pointer indicates the angular displacements obtained by shifting the connecting-rod n along the sector o. (5) By periodic variation of a dynamo field by a mechanically-operated rheostat.

Granted: 1907-04-30
Abstract: 10,091. Eldred, B. E. April 30. Cements.-The process and apparatus for burning cement in separate calcining and clinkering rotary kilns are improved by the provision of (1) special regenerating means, and (2) means for regulating the temperature, flame conditions, and rate of feed independently for the two kilns. Two forms of plant are shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The calcining-kiln 1 and the clinkering-kiln 7 are heated by gaseous fuel, supplied from the producer 11, which, together with air supplied from the blowers 16, 15, has passed through the regenerating- stove 14 and the regenerator 10, respectively. The products of combustion from the kiln 1 are passed through its regenerating-stove 14, and those from the kiln 7 first through its own regenerator 10 and then through the regenerating-stove 14. The temperature and flame conditions may be regulated by means of the valves 27, 28, 29, 30, and the rate of feed by means of the conical pulleys 22. The adjacent ends of the kilns shown in Fig. 2 rotate in a housing 23, provided with a partition 24 having an opening 25 at the bottom for the transfer of material, and with burners 26 for the two kilns.

Title: Improvements in & relating to Kinematograph Apparatus for the Production of Coloured Pictures.
Inventor: SMITH GEORGE ALBERT
Filed: 1906-11-24
Granted: 1907-07-25
Abstract: 26,671. Smith, G. A. Nov. 24. Kinematographs.-To obtain pictures in natural colours, successive pictures on the film are first obtained by photographing alternately through two colour filters, as red and green. On projection, similar filters are employed, with tce result that two differently coloured series are thrown upon the screen. The rate of projection is made about twice that ordinarily employed so that successive pictures in each series, that is alternate pictures on the film, fuse visually to give continuity of vision for each of the two series. Pictures in natural colours are thus said to be produced.
