Title: Improvements in or relating to new derivatives of pyridine aldehydes
Filed: 1952-02-07
Abstract: The invention comprises addition compounds of pyridine aldehydes, of typical formula <FORM:0710201/IV (b)/1> prepared by treatment of pyridine aldehydes or mixtures of the same with sulphur dioxide and water, when the sparingly soluble addition compounds separate.  Acid salts or weakly acid solutions of the aldehydes may be treated likewise.  The addition compounds can also be prepared by treatment of the corresponding alkali bisulphite compounds with dilute mineral or organic acids, e.g. citric or acetic acid.  The above reactions may be conducted in organic solvents, e.g. alcohol, benzene, provided at least one molecule of water is present.  In examples: (1) a mixture of b -, g - and a 1-methyl-a -pyridine aldehydes in 90 per cent aqueous solution is treated with sulphur dioxide, when the addition compounds separate.  Other examples are given, treating a -pyridine aldehyde, its hydrochloride, or g -pyridine aldehyde in aqueous alcoholic or benzolic solution with sulphur dioxide; and treating the sodium bisulphite addition compound of b -pyridine aldehyde with 5N sulphuric acid, the required addition product separating from solution in all cases.

Title: Improvements in or relating to photographic cameras and attachments therefor
IPC: G03B19/04
Filed: 1924-02-11
Abstract: 224,775. Rayner, E. S. Feb. 11, 1924. Magazine hand cameras with connected action between shutter and changing-mechanism. - In cameras having means for automatically locking the shutter after each exposure, so that the shutter.can be re-set only when the locking-means is released by the film changing-mechanism, a combined exposure-indicator and shutter-locking device is provided comprising a single unit or fitting adapted to co-operate with the ordinary film-winding mechanism, and connected directly to a shutter actuating member of normal type, so that the device may be attached to anv camera of ordinary construction without alteration of any operative part of the camera. In the form shown, a cable E<2> of known kind is provided for actuating the shutter D, and a cable F' for actuating the indicating and locking device, both cables being operated simultaneously by a single release E. The indicating and locking device is enclosed in a casing A situated adjacent to the film winding-handle C, and comprises a locking- sector H and a re-setting sector K<1> mounted on a common pivot J. The sector K<1> has an extension K co-operating with the film winding-handle C. 'When the camera is ready for exposure, the sector H is held in the position shown against the action of a spring H<1> by the turned-over end G<1> of a blade spring G secured at the other end to the casing A ; and the sector K1 is preferably held over the sector H against the action of a spring L by a catch K<5>. In this position of the parts the word " Set " is visible through a window A<2> in the casing A. The curved edge of the sector H is cut away at H<2> so that, on depressing the release E to make the exposure, the flanged head F<2> of a plunger carried on the end of the cable F<1> passes from one side of the sector H to the other and releases t'he catch G, thereby permitting the spring H<1> to rotate the sector H into position to obscure the window A<2>. The spring L also causes the sector K<1> to follow the sector H. In this position, the curved edge of the sector H engages and retains the flanged head F<2>, so that the release E is held depressed and the shutter is locked. On rewinding the film, the handle C turns the sector K<1> back to its original position, and, by reason of the engagement wit'h the sector H of a spring catch K<2> on the sector K<1>, similar in construction to the spring catch G, the sector H is carried' back also, uncovering the window A<2>, and finally releasing the head F<2> of the cable F' so that the. shutter is unlocked. In the event that, after the film has been rewound, the handle C rests in such a position that the sector K<1> cannot move when the release E is actuated, the catch K<2> is released from the sector H, to permit this sector to pass into the locking position, by the catch G, which, when moved by the plunger head F<2>, engages and lifts the end of the catch K<2> through the medium of a lip K<3> thereon.
