Title: Improvements in Combined Dark-slides and Film Packs for Photographic Apparatus.
Inventor: COCANARI SILVIO
IPC: G03B17/34
Filed: 1912-03-06
Granted: 1912-12-12
Abstract: 5662. Cocanari, S. March 6. Change-boxes, self-contained; film-packs.-A change - box is described containing an outer case 1, Fig. 1, having an exposure opening 2, and an inner case 4, Fig. 2. The outer case carries an attached pack of plates and films and an automatically-operated pressure device which operates only at the time of exposure and is inoperative during withdrawal or return of the inner case. The inner case serves as the exposure slide, and is adapted for the successive separation of the already exposed plates from the pack in its withdrawal for an exposure. The films are mounted on holders of which the edges 7, Fig. 8, are of decreasing width. The numbers on the plates are seen through apertures 5 in the inner case 4, which are covered with non-actinic transparent material. To the inner case 4 is attached a piece of flexible material 6, Fig. 10, which carries an index tab marked with the number 1 and is folded through the opening 2 to prevent the case 4 from being drawn too far. The films are attached together by a thread 14, Fig. 8, or otherwise, to a collapsible framework 8, the back face of which is fastened to the outer frame by a short tab 10 and the front face of which is fastened to the inner case 4 by a longer tab (not shown). The framework is normally collapsed. During an exposure and when the case 4 is fully withdrawn, the frame 8 is expanded and presses the front plate on to the exposure opening 2. To expose the first plate, the index tab marked 1 is pulled, thereby withdrawing the case 4 and exposing the front plate. For the second exposure, the tab marked 2 is pulled, thereby severing the exposed plate, which is withdrawn with the case 4. The plates are thus exposed in succession. The last plate to be exposed is at the front face of the frame 8.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Metallic Bodies adapted for Sealing into Glass and the like.
Inventor: ELDRED BYRON E
IPC: C03C27/04
Filed: 1913-12-01
Granted: 1914-07-23
Abstract: 27,669. Eldred, B. E. Dec. 1. Drawings to Specification. Leading-in wires.-Composite wires for sealing into lamps and other vitreous articles are made without a platinum surface but with a lower aggregate coefficient of expansion than the surrounding vitreous material, in which they are held under compression. A core of metal having a low expansion varying with temperature is combined with a highly expansive sheath, which renders the mean expansion more regular, though still less than that of glass; or the arrangement may be reversed. For example, a rod of nickel-iron or steel containing 38 per cent of nickel may be sheathed in copper, or less preferably in silver, gold, iron, nickel, and other metals or alloys, turned down and then worked into wire of from 0À008 to 0À015 inch in diameter, the thickness of the copper being 0À000,05 inch. Such wire has a diametric expansion-coefficient of 0À000,006,3 and is suitable for lamp glass of ordinary thickness, having a coefficient of 0À000,008,7. Greater differences in the coefficients are allowable if the lamp stems are made thicker. In modifications, (1) the materials for the core and sheath may be. interchanged; (2) the core may be composite, for instance an iron alloy may be sheathed in copper and then in silver or gold. In making the wire, the methods described in Specifications 8913/06 and 8913A/06, [both in Class 83, Metals, Cutting &c.], may be used. Specifications 4466/10, [Class 83 (ii), Metal articles &c.], 4467/10, and 23,775/12 also are referred to.
