Title: Improvements in Shutters for Photographic Cameras.
IPC: G03B9/34
Filed: 1912-03-13
Granted: 1913-02-13
Abstract: 6238. Thornton - Pickard Manufacturing Co., Pickard, A. G., and Slinger, F. March 13. Shutters, roller-blind. - The two setting- wheels B, B', Figs. 1 and 4, one for each part a, a<1> of the blind, are locked to rotate together during the first part of the setting movement until the lower blind is fully wound, and the adjustment of the exposure slit as well as the adjustment for bulb exposure is obtained by the single operation of further winding the setting-wheel B to a less or greater extent. In running down, the upper blind follows up the lower blind to close the slit again. On winding the knob C in an anti-clockwise direction, the rear wheel B controlling the upper blind a is rotated and carries with it the wheel B<1> controlling the lower blind a', by means of a pivoted catch D which engages a pin d extending from the wheel B through a concentric slot d<1> in the wheel B<1>. The knob is wound until the catch D is disengaged from the pin d by a fixed projection L on the shutter case. The wheel B' and blind a' are held wound by the release lever F and notch f. The knob C is then again rotated to further wind the blind a and the pin d travels in the slot d<1>. The face of the wheel B is provided with a series of notches e which are successively engaged to hold the wheel B by a spring pawl E projecting through the wheel B<1>. The notches correspond to the exposure slits and the handle C travels over the indicating-marks X on the wheel B<1>. On releasing the shutter lever F, both blinds run down together until the pin e<2> rides upon the slope of a stop-plate G, thereby retracting the pawl E from the wheel B. The wheel B' is stopped by the pin g in the plate G and the wheel B continues to run down to close the slit until the pin d again comes to the end of the slot d<1>, and is relocked to the wheel B<1> by the spring catch D. For bulb exposures, the further winding of the wheel B is continued until the pin d reaches the other end of the slot d<1> where it engages in and rocks the spring catch H, so that on actuating the lever K the lever F is also operated, releasing the shutter which runs down until the catch H is arrested, as shown in Fig. 4, by the lever K at open aperture. The exposure is completed by releasing the lever K, which frees the tumbler H, and the parts return to their initial position as before.

Patent GB-191217126-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Mines, particularly adapted for Laying from Submarine Boats.
IPC: F42C5/00
Filed: 1912-07-23
Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 17,126. Whitehead & Co. Dec. 29, 1911, [Convention date]. Mines, marine.-Relates to submarine mines. the firing - mechanism of which is actuated hydrostatically when arms protruding from the mine are struck by a ship. According to the invention, the arms are made, when struck, to open a valve admitting water to the hydrostatic device and at the same time to unlock the hydrostatic device. In the form shown, the deflexion of arms 17, Fig. 4, projecting from a ring 13 causes a sleeve 11, 10 to be raised by the conical ends of pins 14 and thus to draw pins 9 out of recesses in a fixed plate 6; when this happens, bevelled lugs 7' on a sleeve 5 are no longer locked against bevelled lugs 8 on the fixed plate 6, Fig. 6, and a spring 12 therefore raises the sleeve 5 and the valve stem 3, 22, thus opening the valve 1 and releasing the locking-levers 23 of the hydrostatic plate 20. Three arms 17 are provided, and they are extensible over stumps 16; one arm 17 is locked in place by a soluble plug 19 and locks the other arms in place by interlocked lugs 27, 28, Fig. 2. When the plug 19 has dissolved away, the arms are extended by springs 18 and tilted by their weight as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 4 so that their return is prevented by shoulders 42. The mine is stored with the locking-arm 17 upright so that it acts as a diving-bell to prevent access of water to the plug 19 until the mine is launched. The mine has an anchor a, Fig. 1, and a plummet weight h which automatically lays the mine at the desired depth in known manner. The combined weight of the mine and anchor is made nearly equal to the buoyancy, and water is admitted into it to anchor to weigh it down when the mine is laid, the dropping of the weight h causing the opening of valve 32, the separation of the anchor from the mine, and the opening of the valve 31. These valves are constructed and locked on the same principle as the firing-valve; and the weight h is locked by a soluble plug t.

Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 19,337. Heirebaudt, L., and Debackere, A. Aug. 23. Road-vehicle signals. - To indicate to other vehicles the intended movements of a motor-car &c., a disk 18 is rotated electrically to bring an illuminated stencilled arrow opposite one of four inscriptions ' Left ', ' Right ', &c. on a glass cover-plate 23. The device, which is controlled from a switch on the steering-wheel, is arranged to be self-locking, so that current can be cut off except while the indication is being changed, this being effected by a contact which is closed only when the handle'of the rotary controlling- switch is grasped. The switch serves to energize any one of four magnets 3, 4, 5, 6, Fig. 1, with channel-shaped cores 8, 10, Fig. 5, which attract into their embrace a correspondingly - shaped armature 21 on the card 18. The armature 21 is normally locked between two blades 13, which are pivoted in pairs on posts 11, but, when either of the magnets is energized, it attracts magnetic extensions 15 of the adjacent locking- blades so as to unlock the armature 21, which then moves towards it. At night the stencilled arrow is illumined by a lamp 20, Fig. 5. The controlling-switch, Fig. 9, comprises four spring- plunger contacts 34, 35, 36, 37 and a rotatable square post 39, only one face of which is conductive, namely, that corresponding to the pointer of the arrow-shaped handle 43. The act of gripping the handle closes the main circuit by pressing a pivoted contact-piece 45 against a pin 46.

Abstract: 497. Banfield, A. C. Jan. 7. Dash-pots.-Relates to photographic apparatus for printing sheets of gas - light or bromide paper, and consists in providing for the printing - light behind the negative to be switched on for an adjustable interval determined by a dash - pot. The sheets are stacked on a spring platform 6, and a movable suction platen 7, Fig. 1, picks up the top sheet and transfers it into contact with the negative 1. In moving the operating-arm 21 to the position III, the arm 71 pushes the piston-rod 59, Fig. 3, against the spring 75, and the piston 58 forces oil out of the dash-pot 57 through the spring valve 60 into the outer casing 56. When the platen has come against the negative, the pin 69 on the rod 59 rocks the switch arm 66, to switch on the printing-light, and the arm 71 slips away from the end of the piston-rod by the action of the roller 77 on the slope 76. The return of the piston-rod by the spring 75 is controlled by the adjustable orifice 62, through which the oil re-enters the cylinder 58, and, at the end of the return movement, a second pin 68 acts on the arm 66 to switch off the light.

Abstract: 11,068. Stacey, H. J., and Macintosh, A. B. May 29, 1912. [Cognate Application, 12,456/13.] Sheet-registering devices. - In a stencil printing - apparatus of the kind in which sheets are registered against depressible pins on a fixed bed and are printed through a pivoted stencil frame, the register pins arc either each connected by a bar to separate operating-studs which are acted on by the stencil frame to depress the register pins against the action of springs, which are supported by an L-shaped bar, or the pins are mounted on an L-shaped bar which is moved vertically by the turning of the stencil frame, preferably by the aid of an anchor-shaped lever which may be secured to this frame and actuates a sliding bar connected by links to the L-shaped bar. In both forms, the register pins may be held in their depressed or inoperative positions for any desired interval to allow of the fixing of the stencil to its frame. In one form, a series of register pins e, Figs. 1 and 7, for one side of the sheet to be printed are each connected by a bar e<2> to actuating-studs e', Fig. 7, which pass through holes in a frame a in which the platen is mounted and to which the stencil frame is pivoted. The pins e and studs e<1> are normally raised by springs, preferably bowed springs c<3> arranged on an L-shaped bar e' formed with guide-holes for the pins e. The head of the letter to be printed is registered by one or more separate pins e*, each of which is raised by a spiral spring and is connected by a bar e<2> to its stud e'. The pins e may be put out of action when desired by moving a rod e<6> to the right by operating on a stud e<6>* which moves in a slot a<4> in the frame a. Inclined blocks e<7> act on the bars e<2> and keep them depressed until the bar e<6> is moved to the left. For the pin e*, the bar e<6> carries one block e<7> on an arm e<7>*. Square projections e<7> may replace the inclined ones, but these can only hold the studs and pins depressed after they have been depressed by the stencil frame. In a modification, Figs. 13 and 14, the pins e are carried by a vertically movable L-shaped bar f which is operated to raise or depress the pins by means of a horizontally movable bar g which moves in guides g<1> and is connected by links f<1> to the bar f. The bar g is adapted to be moved by the opening and closing of the printing- frame. preferably by means of an anchor lever h loosely mounted on the axis of the frame and connected when desired to the frame bv a turn-button b<16> which fixes an arm h<1> of the lever in a recess b<Î> of the frame. The lever h acts on studs g<2> on the bar g in the normal movements of the printing-frame. When the pins e are to be depressed independently of the frame, the lever h is disconnected from the frame and is moved by hand to depress the pins.
