Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 4988. Lake, W. E., [Huebner-Bleistein Patents Co.]. Feb. 28. Cameras, multiple - photograph; attaching dark-slides to bellows for.-Relates to a screen for the fractional exposure of a sensitive surface having its area composed of transparent and opaque units arranged in such order about a common centre that by rotating the screen from one position to another, a set of transparent units and a set of opaque units are caused to change places. Fig. 16 illustrates a typical screen which is rotated into three successive positions at 120 degrees apart to completely expose a plate. In the camera described for using the screen, the screen F, Fig. 1, is mounted immediately in front of the plate G in the plate-holder H, which is carried by the back frame I. The frame I is adjustable towards and away from the screen by means of a screw 46. It can also be retracted when the screen is rotated by a handle 51 and cam 49, and against the action of a spring 42. The frame I carries a cylindrical rib 52, which projects into the bearing-frame B carrying the screen frame D. The screen is mounted on a screw collar 33. The frame D is held in place by spring bolts engaging an annular groove 36. The screen is rotated by the handle 39 and a wheel 37 gearing with the frame D. The successive positions for the screen are determined by indicators on the frames B, D. The bellows of the camera are connected to a collar 30, which projects into the front portion of the frame B and is secured by the arm 31 and screw 32.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Candle Machines.
Inventor: DAY WILLIAM HARPER
IPC: C11C5/02
Filed: 1912-04-30
Granted: 1913-04-10
Abstract: 10,266. Day, W. H., and Murch, W. April 30. Candles.-In a candle machine, the insertion and removal of the pistons 14 is facilitated by providing the piston plate 2 with one or more sliding plates 18 provided with holes 19 having slotted extensions 21. The pistons are dropped through the holes 19 on to the plate 2, and the plates 18 are moved across the plate 2 so that the pistons enter two slots 21 and are held in position by the adjustable collars 22. The lowest portion of the plate 2, and, consequently, the length of the candles, are determined by a stop 24 engaging a lug 28 on the yoke 3 of the plate, and adjusted by means of a handle 27 and screw 25. The plate 2 is held in any position in its upward or downward movement by means of a cam 8 combined with an angular member 9 on the spindle 10 of the handle 4, by which the plate 2 is raised or lowered. A spring - pressed saddle 11 has a curved surface to engage the cam 8 and a flat surface 13 to engage the member 9. On turning the handle 4 the saddle is raised out of engagement with the member 9 by means of the cam 8, thus allowing the spindle 10 to turn and the plate 2 to be moved through the rack 1. On releasing the handle 4, the saddle again engages the cam 8 and member 9, thus locking the plate 2 in position. The other end of the spindle 10 may carry a brake disk engaged by a spring-controlled saddle.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Mechanical Cashiers.
Filed: 1912-12-05
Granted: 1913-05-29
Abstract: 28,085. Marks, E. C. R., [United States Cashier Co.]. Dec. 5. M o n e y - delivering apparatus. - Means are provided for delivering paper money from a pile, comprising pneumatic devices under the control of a selector mechanism. The keys 1 on a keyboard A operate bails 3 through selector bars 2, the bails interlocking with ejectors 5 to place the ejectors in position to be operated bv arms of the ejector shaft 7 to eject coins from stacks 4, on the top plate 11 are provided pins 12 forming a series of holders for piles of bills 13. Over each pile is a forked suction head 14 having a hollow trunnion 15 pivoted on a hollow lifting bar 16, connected to an angle lever 17 loose on a shaft 19. The trunnions 15 are connected bv chains 20 and springs 21 with a partition 10. A conduit 23 connects with an exhaust fan or the like through a cut-off valve 25, Fig. 8, and from it lead flexible tubes 27 attached by goose-necks 28 to the bars 16. The bails of the keys which have values either in cash or bills are provided with extensions 34 connected by rods 35 with levers 36 adapted to engage tripping arms 39 fixed on the shaft 19. When the arms 39 are operated they engage the short arms 17<a> of the levers 17 to connect these levers to the shaft 19. The shaft 19 is adapted to be connected to the operating-shaft 7 by an arm 7<a> having a pin 7<b> adapted to engage a notch 42 in a lever 43 connected to the shaft 7, and at its other end engaged by a control ling-lever 46 which is also connected to a plate 51 carrying pins 52, the upper ends of pairs of which pass into each of the gold-coin tubes. The lever 46, when moved to connect shafts 7, 19 for the ejection of bills, thus forces up the pins 52 to raise the coins to prevent ejection, while the corresponding suction heads 14 are operated through the connected levers 17. These heads rise and then swing to deliver the topmost bill into a celluloid shoot 29, pivoted above the coin shoot 30 and normally held by a spring catch. The suction is then cut off by means of an arm 53, Fig. 8, on the shaft 7, striking a pin 54 on a lever 55, which normally contacts with a pin 57 on the valve hanger 25<b>. When the arm is moved a spring 58 closes the valve. The bills then drop off into the delivery shoots. The last half of the revolution of the handle 8 reverses the shaft 7 to return the parts to normal with the valve 25 locked in the open position. Specification 16,184/12 is referred to.
