Patent GB-190919432-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in, and relating to, Collapsible Photographic Reflector Cameras.
Inventor: WHITEHEAD FRANK PHILIP
IPC: G03B17/26
Filed: 1909-08-24
Granted: 1910-08-24
Abstract: 19,432. Whitehead, F. P., and Stuart, J. Aug. 24. Camcras, reflex.-In a folding reflex camera, the focusing - screen is mounted in a detachable frame which fits on to the framework of an aperture in the bellows. The frame is entirely removed when the camera is collapsed, and is constructed so that it can be also used for focusing at the back of the camera. In one construction, the focusing - screen frame J, Fig. 2, is made with collapsible bellows J<1> and slotted struts, which, when extended, determines the position of the screen J<5> for correct focusing. The attachment J slides on to grooved flanges of a frame I which surrounds the focusing opening in the bellows and consists of opposite pairs of jointed rods I, I' extending between pivots I<3>, I<4> on the back and front of the camera respectively. The bellows J<1> and struts may be dispensed with, and the focusing-screen adapted to fit directly on to the frame I. The focusing-screen is also adapted to be carried at the back of the camera in the place of the dark slide, any inaccuracy between the relative positions of the plate and screen being compensated for by adjusting the lens. In an alternative construction, the frame I, Fig. 5, has upturned flanges J<7>, and the focusing screen fits directly on to the frame I on the bellows from a vertical direction. The focusing-screen frame is mounted on the camera by hinged plates T and struts T<3>, whereby, when the focusing-screen is detached and the camera folded, the focusing-screen frame folds in front of the lens, and the upper plate T folds down and forms the front of the camera. The mirror F is mounted on a spring spindle F<2> and is retained in focusing position by the catch G<3> on the release arm G, which engages the projection F<4> on the mirror. The mirror is re-set by means of a projecting knob on the spindle F<2>. On releasing the arm G, the mirror rises, and, at the end of its upward movement, the projection F<5> engages the release pawl H of the shutter. When the camera is collapsed, the mirror is pushed back into a vertical position.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Valve Operating Mechanism.
IPC: F16K31/122
Filed: 1911-07-06
Granted: 1912-05-09
Abstract: 15,770. British Thomson-Houston Co., [Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges.]. July 6. Actuating.-A valve d controlling the supply of cooling-water to an oil-cooling system is attached to a spindle carrying a piston f loosely fitting in a cylinder and subject to atmospheric pressure and the vacuum of the condenser on its lower and upper sides respectively. The bearing - surface k of the piston is thus pressed against the upper seat h of the cylinder when the valve d is open. If the vacuum of the condenser fails, by reason of cooling-water pump stopping, for example, then the increase of pressure on the upper side of the piston, aided by a spring, forces the piston on to its lower seating h and closes the valve d. The exhaust pressure passes round the annular clearance n into the chamber o and prevents a violent closure of the valve. When the valve d is closed a valve e is opened, and water is supplied from an emergency tank through a pipe c.
