Title: Improvements in Focal Plane Shutters for Photographic Cameras.
Inventor: CHESSHER HERBERT GEORGE
IPC: G03B9/34
Filed: 1909-05-22
Granted: 1910-06-22
Abstract: 12,105. Chessher, H. G., [trading as Tella Camera Co.]. May 22. Shutters, roller-blind.-A roller-blind shutter comprises a winding-roller m<1> for one blind m, Fig. 1, and a compound spring-roller for the other blind h and the tapes k. The tape-roller section f<1> is mounted on, and directly driven by, the spring spindle c. The blind roller g, Fig. 3, is frictionally mounted on the tape-roller section by means of a strip of velvet i, and normally rotates with it. The blind h, when unwound on setting the shutter, just extends to the roller m<1>. The tapes k pass through bars j on the blind h, and are attached to the bar l on the blind m. The bars are slotted and bent as shown in Fig. 5 for the passage of the tapes; the friction is sufficient to prevent the roller g from continuing to rotate with the tape roller section and thus winding the blind h backwards after it has been fully extended and while the winding of the roller m<1> is continued to adjust the aperture. On releasing the shutter for exposure, the blind h is arrested by stops f<3> at the end of the exposure, and the spring e on the upper roller is sufficiently strong to overcome the friction of the velvet i and further wind the tape-roller section to close the aperture. The winding-spindle n is provided with ratchet mechanism for winding the shutter and holding it in the ' set ' position, an indicator may be combined with it for indicating the exposure, which is determined by the adjustment of the aperture.

Title: Improved Means applicable for use in Controlling the Working of Platen Printing Machines.
Inventor: ALEXANDRE DERENNE
IPC: B41F1/54
Filed: 1910-01-25
Abstract: 1911. Derenne, A. Jan. 25, 1909, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Rotary disk valves; actuating valves.-Means for actuating plug cocks and rotary disk valves are described in connexion with cylinder printing machines which are provided with suction sheet-feeders and are so constructed that the machine is stopped or the cylinder tripped by vacuum-operated means brought into operation when a sheet is not fed by the suction device. In one form of apparatus, a vacuum pipe A is normally connected to a pipe a leading to the suction feeder by a cock B which is held against the action of a coiled spring h by a lever e engaging a catch i. In the event of the failure of the feeder, air enters the pipe a and moves a spring-controlled cylinder C, which surrounds a chamber connected to the pipe a, outwards, and a spring-controlled lever f is thereby caused to raise the lever e and permit the cock B to rotate. A projection j of the cock frees the lever e from the action of the lever f, and a rod T is used to re-set the cock B. The rotation of the cock B connects the vacuum pipe A with a pipe b, and the vacuum produced in this pipe is caused to actuate uncoupling and braking devices. As shown in Fig. 5, an oscillating sector valve Q is adapted to connect a cylinder s<1> to the atmosphere, and a cylinder t' to a vacuum, or vice versa, according as to whether a vacuum obtains in a cylinder K or L. Each of the cylinders K, L is fitted with a piston connected by means of a spring-controlled anglelever M to a beam N, which controls the position of a reciprocating anchor piece P actuated from the vacuum pump rod, and causes the piece P to engage one or other of two pins U on a lever R which actuates the valve Q. As shown, a sheet has not been fed, and the vacuum formed in pipe b has depressed the right end of beam N, causing the valve Q to be moved to the left, and the cylinder t' to be connected to the vacuum. The tripping-lever t<2> 'is thus denressed, and the pressure in cylinder s<1> holds a catch s<2> in place.. When the feed starts, the catch s<1> is released by establishing a vacuum in the cylinder s<1>, and the lever t<2> is allowed to rise owing to the admission of air to cylinder t<1>.

Granted: 1912-02-29
Abstract: 12,192. Freeman, C. W. May 20. Stoppers, washing.-Comprises a machine for washing bottle stoppers in which the stoppers are placed in orifices in the links of a chain conveyer and are carried through a tank and subjected to the action of submerged brushes. Fig. 2 shows the machine in section. The screwed shanks of the stoppers are inserted in orifices in the links of a pair of parallel chains f, and are maintained in position when inverted by an adjustable guide z engaging the heads. The screwed shanks are brushed first by pairs of rotary brushes 12 with bristles on their adjacent faces. These brushes impart a rotary movement to the stoppers so as to operate over the whole surface, either by being rotated at different speeds or by having the bristles of one brush stiffer than the other. The heads of the stoppers are then pressed against a brush 5 by means of adjustable plates 10<a> engaging the chains. This brush is adjustable on a screwed shaft 8 to equalize the wear on all portions of its surface. The ends of the shanks are next brushed by a fixed brush 13, which also partly ejects the stoppers from the chains so that the portions of the shanks previously covered thereby are exposed to the action of fixed intermeshed brushes 16, which also impart rotary movement to the stoppers. A fixed plate 15 forms a positive ejecting device in case the brushes 13 fail to accomplish this object. The stoppers are next rinsed by a water spray 17, and are finally ejected by the chain wheel and delivered down the shoot 19. In a modified construction, the brush 5 may be placed concentrically with the wheels s, and the brush 13 replaced by a cylindrical rotary brush arranged between the brushes 12.
