Filed: 1974-02-12
Abstract: 1429897 Cameras FRANKE & HEIDECKE GmbH 12 Feb 1974 [7 March 1973] 6324/74 Heading G2A A camera 1 has an exposure meter needle 7 which sets the diaphragm automatically according to ambient light intensity; attachment of a flash device 2 being arranged to move a pin 9 into the path of the needle to limit its movement and thereby limit the maximum value to which the diaphragm can be set while allowing smaller apertures to be set by the needle if ambient light intensity is sufficiently high. As shown, a projection 5 on flash 2 moves a rod 13 to release a lever 8 carrying pin 9. Lever 8 rotates until it abuts a slide 15, whose position thereby determines the position of pin 9. The maximum diaphragm value is obtained by dividing the guide number of the flash device by the maximum distance at which the device can be used. The guide number is determined by the power of the device and the sensitivity of the film. To accommodate choice in the latter, a film speed indicating notch 20 in a cassette 19 determines the position of the slide 15.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the recording of oscillations on a carrier
IPC: G11B7/00
Filed: 1934-02-28
Abstract: 432,988. Recording sound and the like. PHILIPS-MILLER NAAMLOOZE VENNOOTSCHAP, Emmasingel, Eindhoven, Holland. Feb. 28, 1934, No. 6501. Convention date, March 1, 1933. [Class 40 (ii)] Sound or other vibrations are recorded on a carrier such as a film or disc by a recording member whose zero or mean position (that is, the position of the recording member relatively to the carrier when no oscillations are being recorded) is altered in steps either automatically or manually in accordance with two or more predetermined ranges in the intensity of the vibrations to be recorded. The recording may be effected mechanically or optically. The carrier may consist of a supporting layer 1, Fig. 2, of celluloid, a recording layer 2 of gelatine and an opaque coating layer 3 and recording may be effected by a chisel M which vibrates vertically about two or more mean positions according to the intensity of the sound, the change from one mean position to another not being effected continuously, but in steps producing record sequences of width shown at P and Q, Fig. 1. In the case in which the recording member takes up two mean positions, the change from one mean position to the other is effected when the intensity of the sound is about three-quarters of the maximum. For effecting the change of mean position, the recording member M, Fig. 5, may have its armature H mounted on an arm R which is pivoted at X and is urged against a stop I by a spring D. When the sound exceeds a given intensity, current from the output of the amplifier V, amplified if necessary by an amplifier V1 closes a contact Ko and completes a direct current circuit having a source Br, this current actuating a relay S and causing a rod T to be forced downwards against the resistance of the spring D so that the arm R rests against the stop I1. The coating layer may be applied to the carrier after recording has been effected, as described in Specification 404,948. The recording member may produce a track which is modulated on one or on both edges.

Abstract: 968,169. Delivering measured quantities of liquid. RUBERY, OWEN & CO. Ltd. Aug. 22, 1963 [Feb. 19, 1963], No. 6572/63. Heading B8N. An apparatus for dispensing measured quantities of liquid comprises a measuring chamber 11 into which liquid is fed from a container 17, the liquid being discharged through a doublesided valve seat 18, 19 by means of a plunger 12 having a stem 31 carrying a valve head 32 which normally closes the underside side of the valve seat. The plunger is slidable in a body member 10 and urged upwardly by a spring 27 so that the head 32 closes the lower side of the valve seat; the head is adjustably mounted on the stem 31 in order to vary the capacity of the measuring chamber. A push-rod 34 attached to the armature 35 of a solenoid, is slidable within the plunger and acts against a spring 36. In operation, with the valve in the position shown, liquid is fed from the container 17 into the measuring chamber via an inlet 15. Upon energization of the solenoid, the plunger is forced downwardly by the push-rod 34, thereby opening the valve 32 so that the liquid is dispensed, the inlet being closed by the plunger when the latter closes the top side of the valve seat. In a modification, the plunger may be actuated manually instead of by a solenoid.
