Title: Improvements in or relating to Photographic Cameras.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1897-08-24
Granted: 1897-11-06
Abstract: 19,503. Boult, A. J., [Bruns, W.]. Aug. 24, Cameras ; change-boxes.-Relates to a camera made of metal plates and combined with a platechanging device. The camera is in two parts A, B, one of which telescopes into the other. The box C<2> containing the plates or films is inserted in a frame C<1>, which is pivoted at c<2> to the sides of the casing B, and is connected by links G to pivots g on the outer casing A. The effect of this arrangement is that when B is pushed into A the plate box C<2> stands vertically against the end of the dark chamber C with the front plate in the focal plane ; but when B is pulled out, the plate box assumes the horizontal position shown in Fig. 5. In this position, projecting pieces E press against the end of the casing B and, acting through rods e<1>, pass up the stops c<5>, which retain the top of the front plate. This plate then falls out into the bottom of the casing, as shown at D The sheaths of the plates have lateral wings which run in grooves in the plate box, and are retained at the front by the stops c<5>. The handle for carrying the camera contains a finder.
