Title: An Improved Device for Automatically Controlling the Operation of Photographic Shutters.
Inventor: COLARDEAU LOUIS JOSEPH EMMANUE
IPC: G03B9/58
Filed: 1910-05-27
Granted: 1911-04-20
Abstract: 12,912. Colardeau, L. J. E., and Richard, J. May 27. Shutters.-An automatic device for actuating a shutter after a predetermined interval to enable a photographer to include himself in the group comprises a clock-work mechanism actuating a lever which allows two signal vanes to escape successively and acts in the interval on the button of the shutter apparatus. In one modification, the lever e, Figs. 3 and 11, is driven by clock-work which is stopped and regulated by the spring g<1> acting on the balancewheel g<2> of the mechanism. The lever e carries a pawl f, which is in engagement with the ratchet-wheel f' of the mechanism, and, when the mechanism is set, overlaps the two signal vanes b, c which are mounted on the spring hinge d. The device is attached to the camera by the lugs h, i. To start the device, the balance-wheel g<2> is released from the spring g'. After a certain interval, the lever e releases the shoulder b<1> of the signal vane b and this flies up, indicating that the lever is about to actuate the shutter release j<1>, and immediately after this, the lever releases the vane c, which flies up indicating that the exposure has been made. The mechanism is reset by returning the vanes and rewinding the clockwork by the lever e. In a modification, Fig. 7, the lever e pivoted at e<1> acts on the spring piston k sliding in the socket l. The socket l has a flange m cut away at one side to engage under a recessed piece n, Fig. 16. The socket l is carried by a slide p<1> which is positioned by a clamping-screw q. By modifying the position of the slide the travel of the piston k and the leverage of the lever e are adjusted. The vanes b, c in this construction overlap. According to a further alternative, the device is connected to a Bowden-wire release. The piston k, in this case, actuates the inner member of the release, the other member being connected to the socket l.

Assembling parts.-In an assembling and lasting machine of the type described in Specification 26,698/09, the jack is mounted on a post pivoted at the base of the machine and capable of being swung forward to clear the last from the lasting - mechanism. A last spindle 10, Fig. 4, is mounted on the post so as to be rotatable and movable endways therein. An arm 8 carrying a movable block 15 extends laterally from the last spindle 10, and can be adjusted vertically by a pinion shaft 11. The block 15 comprises an overhanging arm 16, below which the shoe may be swung laterally. The arm 16 has a rest for engaging the toe-end face of the last, and is provided with a roughened part to engage the bottom face of the forepart of the last or shoe when the last is pressed upwards by a spring 18. A grippercarrier 22 is pivoted at 20 on the block 15. The grippers comprise a rigid jaw secured to the carrier and a second jaw pivoted to the carrier and provided with a tail extending between a roll mounted upon a gripper-operating member 26 pivoted at 20 and the main body thereof. A spring normally holds the grippercarrier forward with a projection 34 against a lug on the block 15. On depressing the handle of the gripper-operating member 26, the grippers are closed on the upper and then drawn backwards to tension the upper. The member 26 carries a pawl to engage a curved ratchetface formed on the block 15 to maintain the position of the operating-member. The arm 8 has ratchet teeth on its lower face, which are adapted to be engaged by a pawl 39 on the block 15. The pawl 39 is normally held away from the ratchet by the engagement of the projection 34 with an arm 40 of the pawl, and is permitted to be turned up by its spring 39* only after the gripper-carrier has been turned forwardly in stressing the upper. The machine is provided with a shoe-bottom rest 100, Fig. 2, which meets the sole at several points, and is movable endways in a guideway formed in a block 102 to permit it to accompany the shoe in its backward movement. A spring 103 normally holds the block in its forward position. The block 102 moves vertically in a slide in the machine head, and has rack teeth engaged by a pinion 105 coupled by a rack 107 to a lever 108, held by a spring 109 against a cam-face 110 on a cam-block 65. The cam 110 depresses the shoe against the pressure of the jack spring before the final retraction of the wipers, as described in Specification 28,474/10.

Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 2613. Galloways, Ltd., and Pilling, H. Feb. 1. [Cognate Application, 5912/11.] Autontatic g e a r.- Controlling and reversing gear for steam and other fluid - pressure engines, such as rolling- mill engines and winding-engines, is so arranged that the throttle valve e or valves, or equivalents, are opened slightly as the expansion gear is set for late cut - off, and can be further opened without affecting the expansion gear when the latter is set for latest cut-off, while an automatic or other device is provided to open the throttle valve or valves fully, independently of the main gear, when the engine has reached a certain speed, when the cut-off can be varied without affecting the throttle valve or valves. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1. the reversing-shaft 30 is operated through a hydraulic motor 23 from the hand-lever 3, shown in its mid-position, the link 19 of the engine being in its neutral position. Movement of the lever 3 to the position 2 sets the link for the latest cut-off and opens the throttle valve 16 slightly through the stop 12 on the lever 10 and the toggle 8. Further movement of the lever 3 towards the position 1 opens the valve 16 further. When the engine reaches a certain speed, the throttle valve is fully opened through the toggle 7 by the device 40, which comprises a pump 35, driven from the crank shaft 18, and a plunger 36 which is forced upwards when the valve 38 is closed by the flow of liquid past it. In a modification, the full opening of the valve is caused by a motor 41 controlled by a hand lever or pedal 43. The engine is stopped by returning the lever 3 and the shaft 30 to their midpositions, when a cam on the shaft engages the end of a bar actuating the lever 14 to close the valve 16 and another cam engages either a lever 29 opening the valve 38 or a lever 29, reversing the motor 41. In a modification, the toggle 8, which first opens the valve 16, is actuated from the cross-head of the motor 23, and the valve is first opened before the link 19 reaches the position of latest cut-off.

Granted: 1912-03-21
Abstract: 25,916. Beck, H. Nov. 20. Arc lamps.-A positive electrode for searchlights and for flash and other lamps contains flame-arc material in the form of a core or otherwise, and is of smaller diameter than the crater which would be produced by the same current in a carbon not containing such materials. High luminous efficiency is thus obtained. The negative carbon may be of smaller diameter than the positive one, and may have a coating of metal to increase its conductivity, and a core of material such as graphite, tungsten, or the like, more refractory than carbon, so that a point is formed in burning. The electrodes may have longitudinal ribs, and are cooled and protected by gases or vapours such as coal gas, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen, acetylene, benzine, ether, alcohol, or naphthalene; these confine the arc to the end of the positive electrode. Such gases may be supplied through an electrode itself, or through an annular space d in a metal sleeve c surrounding an electrode, or throngh a number of nozzles opening from a chamber in such a sleeve. If sufficient pressure is used, the same jet or jets may protect both electrodes. A flat nozzle may send a current of gas at right-angles to an electrode near its end. Liquids may be fed through a tube surrounded by a series heating- resistance, or may be dropped on to an electrode or on to a plate near the arc. Solids such as naphthalene may be dropped on to a similar plate or formed into a coating for an electrode. The electrodes may be rotated slowly by hand or otherwise. The metal sleeve c may have cooling-ribs or a water-jacket, and may supply current to the electrode throngh a pair of spring-pressed pins.

Abstract: 12,520. Samuelson, E., and Backhouse, J. May 28. Processes for reduction of grain.-The cleaning, break, reduction, dressing, and other machines of a flour mill are arranged in two or more vertical columns supported on cross-bars 4 of a framing 2. In the first column are placed cleaning-sieves a<1>, fed by an elevator 6, a scourer a<2> and brush, or a combined brush and scourer may be employed, aspirators a<3>, magnetic separators a<4>, break rolls b<1> (each set being followed by a scalper b<2> or a centrifugal reel, purifier, or other sieve), and a break - meal dresser c. From each scalper or reel, a short passage 8 leads to the following break. The second column comprises a single or double purifier, or an aspirator, or both, fed by an elevator from the base of the break column, and reducing-rolls followed by dressing - machines. All the machines are driven from a central shaft 7, Fig. 3. Stones or pulverizers may be substituted for the reduction rolls. If more than five reductions are employed, a third column is arranged to receive the material from the second. The passage of the material through the apparatus takes place in any known manner, for instance that shown in Fig. 7, refuse and dust being discharged at 9, flour at 10, bran at 11, pollard at 12, and offals at 14. The flour from the first two reductions may be separately discharged at 13. But this may be varied, for example, by employing double sieves instead of the first or second scalpers b<2> and passing the intermediate product to the purifier d'. The intermediate product from the last scalper b<2> may be conveyed direct to a dressing-machine c or e<2>. In the case of a plant having two columns of reduction machines, the intermediate product from the first two scalpers goes to the purifier at the top of the first column, and that from the last scalper may go, with the tailings from the purifier at the top of the second column, to the first reduction rolls in the second column, and the throughs of the latter purifier to the second reduction rolls of the first column. The liftings from the purifier d' may pass to a lower set of reduction rolls. The fan a<5> supplying the scourer a<2> may also draw air from the purifiers, rolls, or dressers, or in larger plant where a separate fan is employed for the purifiers, this may aspirate some of the rolls or dressers. Flexible tubes attached to the fan outlets, or other dust collectors, are provided.
