Title: Improvements relating to Curtain-shutters for Photographic Cameras.
Inventor: HADDAN REGINALD
Filed: 1907-02-27
Granted: 1908-02-06
Abstract: 4830. Haddan, R., [Optische Anstalt C. P. Goerz Akt.-Ges.]. Feb. 27. Shutters, roller - blind. One or both of the rollers have an actuating-spring adapted to be tensioned by torsion in both directions, so that they can actuate the shutter in both directions. In the first construction, in which only one roller has a spring, this roller is connected with the other roller by means of transmission gear and a clutch. The edges of the blinds are connected by an elastic connexion, and a shoe brake within the lower roller is adapted to regulate the speed and exposure. The actuating-spring is mounted between the spindle 3, Fig. 1, at one end, and the roller hub 9. The spring is set in either direction by the rack 5, and gearing actuating the pinion 7. The rack is moved by the projecting pin 6 which moves over a graduated scale having a central zero position, the tension of the spring in one or other direction being proportional to the movement past this zero point. The two rollers are geared together by the gearing 17a, 17<b> ... 17f. The roller 1 is retained by a release lever engaging the notched disk 32. To vary the aperture, the inner sleeve 11 of the upper roller is pulled outwards, disengaging the clutch pin 14 from one of a series of holes 10 in the hub 9<a>, and is rotated to wind or unwind the lower roller without turning the upper roller. The speed of the shutter is partly determined by the amount of tension given to the spring by the rack 7, but is further regulated by an internal-brake shoe 28, Fig. 4. This shoe is fastened to the cylinder 26 of the sleeve 23, and the pressure of the shoe against the inner surface of the roller is adjusted by a pin 29 on the ring 30 of the spindle 24, which is turned by a knob 25. When both rollers have a tension spring, the shafts 3, 34, Fig. 5, of the rollers are geared together by the cord 38. The blind 40 has an aperture of unalterable width, and the shutter is set by moving the handle 39 of the cord 38 up or down as the case may be, the rollers being locked until the shutter is released.

Patent GB-190708017-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Typewriting Duplicators.
Inventor: SOBLIK MAX
Filed: 1907-04-05
Granted: 1907-06-13
Abstract: 8017. Soblik, M. April 5. Typewriters.- Relates to strip-perforating and strip-control mechanism for duplicating in typewriters, and is described as applied to the pneumatic type-wheel machine described in Specification No. 27,616, A.D. 1904, in which the type-wheel is rotated continuously and stopped for character selection. A pneumatic relay motor or the like is provided to effect the perforating without the expenditure of more energy than is necessary for the ordinary typing. Figs. 3, 4, and 6 show the use of a wide record-strip 15 having the perforations distributed transversely for controlling the various keys, and Figs. 7 and 8 show the use of a narrow strip 40 having a single longitudinal row of character perforations spaced according to the position of the character on the type-wheel, for controlling the stop motor 38 directly instead of through the character keys, the shaft &c. perforations being out of line with the character perforations. The wide strip 15 is fed from a roll g over rollers j, k,the roller k being driven proportionally from the type-wheel. The strip passes over a row of perforators y selectively operated by a roller u driven proportionally from the typewheel and provided with spikes v arranged spirally. The roller u is carried on arms to and is swung up against the perforators by a motor 13 controlled by a rotary valve 10 retained by a stop 8 released by a cylinder 3 when a character key is closed. The perforations for the spacing, shift, and carriagereturn keys are made by perforators 16 in conjunction with forks 17 pivoted on a lever 23 for selection by cylinders 24, 25, the lever 23 being swung by a motor 21 controlled by a rotary valve 20, stop 19, and cylinder 18. When the strip is used for control, the perforations determine the passage of compressed air from a box 28 through pipes 30 to diaphragms in a cover placed over a keyboard. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 7, the strip 40 is fed synchronously with the type-wheel over a single perforator 41 and a control duct 44. The perforator 41 is connectible by a cock 42 with the duct 37 supplying the stop motor 38 from the typewheel duct 45. The control duct 44 is connectible with the motor 38 by a cock 43. In order to reduce the length of the strip 40, the perforator 41 may be moved in the direction of the strip, as by mounting the perforator on a rotary arm geared to the type-wheel and rotating within a drum around which the paper is fed.
