Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 15,859. Kent, G. P. Jan. 7, 1910. Kinematographic apparatus, of the type wherein a number of picture portions are carried upon bands adapted to be moved so as to cause a succession of complete pictures to be displayed, is provided with automatic devices which intermittently display the whole series of pictures in the forward direction, and then automatically reverse to display the pictures backwards, and then again reverse and so on continuously. The pictures are carried on both sides of the band 1. Each complete unit comprises a band winding off the roller 2 on to the roller 3. The rollers 2 are geared together, likewise the rollers 3. An extra pair of rollers 12, 13 with a weight 14 constitute a tension device. The pictures are painted on the bands 1 in sections extending from a to b. The constantly rotating countershaft 19 is situated adjacent to a star-wheel, which is adapted to rotate in company with one of the band-carrying rollers 3. A crank is provided for rotating the said.star-wheel through a predetermined angle at each revolution of the countershaft 19. The device shown is one for obtaining an intermittent forward feed and a continuous return; to obtain an intermittent return, the feeding- device is duplicated. The reversing-device comprises'two stops 45, 46 on an endless cord 42, which turn the weighted arm 48 over about the pivot 49 when engaging with the lug 47, and so reverse the switch 51 controlling the electric motor which continuously drives the worm 18. Upon the reversing shaft 19 is a ratchet clutch driving in one direction but inoperative in the other direction, and a sprocket free upon the shaft while it is rotating in one direction but adapted to be clutched thereto and declutched therefrom as the shaft is reversed.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Coin Freed Moving Picture Machines.
Inventor: MILLS HERBERT STEPHEN
IPC: G07F17/16
Filed: 1909-09-28
Granted: 1910-04-14
Abstract: 22,094. Mills, H. S. Oct. 3, 1908, [Convention date]. Displaying pictures.-Relates to moving - picture machines in which the pictures are adapted to be v i e w e d s i m u ltaneously by a number of obs e r v e r s from different points of the casing. The machine may be of any suitable construction and is driven by an electric motor 16, the pictures on the film 20 being thrown upon a screen 12 by means of an electric lamp 18, a condenser '19, projecting lenses 21, and a mirror 13. The film-winder is of the type described in Specification 23,008/07,' [Class ' 132, Toys &c.]. Around the casing are arranged a series of eye-pieces 11, beneath each of which is situated a view-obstructing member 28, mounted on a rock-shaft 34 and held in the obstructing position by a spring - controlled bell - crank 36. The operator, having selected any particular aperture inserts a coin in the adjacent slot, thereby removing the bell-crank 36 from the corresponding obstructing-member 28, which then falls by gravity into the position shown in Fig. 6, a finger 128 engaging an arm 57 of a bell-crank lever 55 and turning that lever on its pivot to bridge contacts 58, and close the motor circuit. The mechanism for returning any obstructing member after a complete revolution of the ribbon before the corresponding eyepiece is as follows. A shaft 45 driven from the motor through gearing 68, 64, 53, 52 carries a series of fast ratchets 46 and loose disks 44. The rotation of the shaft 34, conseauent on the above-described downward movement of the member 28, removes a pin 41 on a cam 39 on the shaft from the tail of a spring-controlled pawl 43 pivoted to the disk 44 in connexion with the eyepiece in question, whereupon the pawl is thrown into engagement with the corresponding ratchet 46 and couples it to the disk. At the completion of a revolution of the ribbon, a pin 51 on a lever 47 on the disk engages the nose 40 of the cam 39, as shown in Fig. 6, whereupon the lever is turned against the action of a spring 48, the pin finally escaping past the nose and rotating the shaft 34, thereby returning the member 28 into the obstructing position and lifting the pawl 43 from the ratchet. Simultaneously the finger 128 lifts the bell-crank 55 from the contacts 58, so as to break the motor circuit if no other eyepiece is in use. To vary the rate of rotation of the shaft 45 to allow for films of varying length, the driving-wheel 68, Fig. 3. which is provided with rounded teeth, may be adjusted laterally on the shaft 69 so as to engage with one or more of the sets of radial face teeth 65, 66, 67 on the wheel 64. Coin action, weight.-The coin in its passage through a shoot 60 presses back the projecting arm 62 of a tripping-rod 38, which is connected to one end of the bell-crank 36.

Title: Method of Manufacturing Electric Condensers.
Inventor: BURSTYN WALTHER
IPC: H01G4/10
Filed: 1910-05-12
Granted: 1911-03-30
Abstract: 11,787. Burstyn, W. May 12, 1909, [Convention date]. Condensers, composed of plates of dielectric material and thin metal sheets arranged alternately, are assembled within a bath of a molten cement which does not become crystalline after solidification. Suitable substances are resins with an addition of oils, preferably mineral oils, or a small quantity of wax &c., to reduce the brittleness. Castor oil, rubber, &c. may be added in order to make the mixture more adhesive. As the temperature at which the condensers are assembled is considerably higher than 100‹ C., tin-foil is not suitable. Copper, silver, or bronze &c. is used in thin foils. As a residue of cement remains between the ends of the metal foils after assembling, the ends are brought into metallic connexion by soldering or welding.

Driving -arrangements for screw propellers.- Variable - speed and reversing toothed gearing, suitable for driving boats, is combined with a spring-actuated brake acting on the driven member. The driven member comprises a shaft 16, Fig. 1, a toothed gear 15, and a drum 43. The exterior of the drum 43 is adapted to be engaged by ' palms ' 41, 42, Fig. 2, which are carried by elbow levers 39, 40. A spring 48 anchored to the converging arms 46, 47 of the levers 39, 40, applies the ' palms' 41, 42 to the drum 43 whenever a member 49 is released. A countershaft 13 carries a gear 14, always meshing with the gear 15, and also wheels 12, 56 geared directly and through an idler 17, respectively, to gears 11, 55 loose on a driving-shaft 1, and connected to clutch drums 10, 54. A clutch 5 on the shaft 1 is engaged with the drum 43 for a fast forward speed. Clutches 3, 6 are engaged with the drums 10, 54, respectively, for slow forward and reversed driving, respectively. The gearing is enclosed in an oil-tight casing 9. The clutches are operated by rods 21, 22, which are connected to a hand-lever and co-ordinated with the member 49 in such a way that when the lever is in the neutral position, that is, between the slow forward and reversed driving positions, the brake is applied. Arrangements are described giving additional speeds. The brake may be disengaged by an electric solenoid. The friction clutches may be operated electrically by a solenoid or a motor to each clutch, or pneumatically by an annular piston to each clutch.
