Improvements in and relating to Projecting Apparatus and Cameras
for Kinetoscopic Pictures.
I, WILLIAM CHARLES HUGHES, of Brewster House, Mortimer Road, Kingsland,
London, N.E., Manufacturing Optician, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to improvements in that type or class of apparatus or machine
more generally known as cinematographs, or cinematoscopes, and used in connection
with an optical lantern for projecting upon a distant screen enlargements of minute
photographic pictures that have been taken upon a rapidly moving strip or film,
my said improvements rendering such an apparatus also applicable for use as a
camera for taking the said photographs.
The improvements constituting my invention consist, Firstly of the employ-
ment of a crank and piston motion for operating the intermittent movements of the
strip or film, Secondly-of an improved form of shutter, Thirdly-of an improved
form of spring catch or clip for closing and automatically fastening the divided
parts of the guide for the said film, Fourthly-of an improved construction and
method of mounting the sprocket wheel or drum with which the said strip or film
engages, Fifthly of an improved arrangement of a holder for the lens of a lantern
for the purposes of my invention, Sixthly of a device, by means of which a
picture is automatically placed in focus and projected upon the screen, during the
changing of the films or strips being projected, and Seventhly of a film guide roller
upon a lever pivotally mounted upon the machine, in such a manner, as to be
automatically locked in either of two positions by the employment of one spring.
а
In order that my said improvements and the manner in which I find it most
convenient to construct and use the same may be clearly understood, I have hereunto
appended two sheets of drawings, of which,
Fig. 1 Sheet 1 is an elevation of one side of a complete apparatus according to my
invention, partly in section.
Figs. 2 and 3 are elevations of the front and back ends respectively of the same,
partly in section, while Fig. 4 is a plan view, also partly in section.
Fig. 5 is an enlarged perspective view of my improved guide roller and lever,
hereinafter explained.
Fig. 6 is a view illustrating the manner in which I purpose employing a cyclo-
meter or counter for registering the number of times per section this film or strip
is at rest in front of the exposure aperture.
Figs. 7 and 8 Sheet 2 are diagrams illustrating the manner in which my improved
crank and piston motion operates upon the film or strip for imparting intermittent
movements thereto.
Fig. 9 is a much enlarged view of my improved spring catch or clip.
Fig. 10 is a perspective view of my improved sprocket wheel or drum, illustrating
the manner in which (according to my invention) this is mounted upon the spindle
with which it rotates.
Fio 11 is a view of one of the blades of my improved shutter, while Figs. 12

page_text: and 13 are views illustrating two positions of my improved lens holder for a pro-
jecting lantern, hereinafter explained.
Fig. 14 is a diagram illustrating an alternative arrangement of the crank and
piston motion illustrated by Figs. 7 and 8.
I carry my invention into effect by constructing of wood or other suitable material
a rectangular case or box, consisting of a top A and bottom A¹, front and back
ends B and B respectively, and sides or doors C and C¹, the said doors being hinged
or otherwise pivotally mounted upon the back end B¹. The door C is preferably
longer than the top and bottom of the case, and extends beyond the end B, as shewn
in Figs. 1 and 4, and upon the inner face of this is mounted, by the means of clips
or ties such as a, a cast or other frame composed of a pair of suitably shaped metallic
plates D and D¹, connected together by tie pieces D³, and D³, and adapted
to carry a pair of geared spur-wheels E and E¹, the former of which
is mounted and fixed upon a spindle b, extending in one direction
towards the door C, and in the opposite direction through the door C and a
nosing or boss 61 thereon, and the latter end carries a hand wheel c, by means of
which the said spindle and wheels E and E¹ may be rotated by hand. The said
plates D, D¹ carry between them a crank shaft F, to the crank or equivalent disc of
which is connected one end of a jointed rod F¹, the opposite end whereof may
extend through a hole in the tie-piece or plate D2 which forms a guide for the
horizontal movements of the said rod, when actuated by the said crank-shaft, the
said shaft receiving motion by the means of a pinion G, mounted upon one end
thereof and in gear with the toothed wheel E. The end of the jointed rod F¹,
outside the plate or tie D³, is connected to a plate G₁ adapted to form bearings for
the ends of the spindle of a metal or other roller G2, the said plate G¹ also carrying a
pair of guide rods G³, which pass through holes in the plate D2 and guide bosses d
thereon.
Or I may arrange the said crank and piston motion as illustrated by Fig. 14, in
which the jointed rod F¹ does not pass through the tie plate D2, but is pivottally
connected to a cross bar h², attached to and carried by the guide rod G³, which, for
the purposes of this device are extended in length, and pass through guides hand h4,
fixed upon the plates D and D¹ and I may dispense with the guide bosses d d upon
the plate D³.
.
The portion of the spindle 6 of the wheel E extending towards the door C¹, is
intended to carry the sprocket wheel or drum H, which has two rows of pins or
teeth upon its outer surface, for engaging with the holes in the strip or film
in the usual way, but according to my invention the inner end of the bore of the said
wheel or drum is extended in diameter and is of conical formation, adapted to engage
with a cone e upon a plate el fixed upon the wheel E, (Fig. 9) a pin e upon which
said plate engages with a hole e³ in the inner end of H which prevents this from
turning upon the spindle 6 when fixed thereon by the means of a nut or nuts et
(Figs. 1 and 4).
The front end B carries a suitable projecting lens H', and in line with this the
door C carries a film or strip guide J of the usual formation, the back or hinged
portion of which J¹, is arranged to be automatically locked, when closed upon J,
by the means of my improved spring catch or clip J2, which may be constructed
of steel or other wire in the form of a loop, the ends whereof are curled to form
spirals f, and are fastened to the hinged portion J' by the means of screws or
pins while the remainder of the said wire is so bent or shaped, that its looped
end may automatically engage with, and embrace the portion J, when Ji is
closed thereon, as shewn in Fig. 9.
Assuming that the apparatus as described is to be employed as a projector, the
film or strip K, upon which the kinetoscopic photographs have been produced, would
be wound upon a reel or spool L, carried upon a bracket L¹, preferably fixed upon
the door C (shewn in Fig. 1 but omitted in Figs. 3 and 4) the outer end of which said
strip would then be passed down through the guide, formed by the plates J and J',
and from this round and under a wood or other roller M, mounted upon a spindle

page_text: extending horizontally from the inner side of the door C (Figs. 1, 3, 7 and 8) and
then over the top of the sprocket drum H, and through an opening 12 in the end B
of the case, (Figs. 1, 2 and 3).
In order that the strip or film K may be kept in close contact with the drum H,
so that the teeth d' upon the latter may be kept in contact with, and not slip out of
the usual holes or perforations in the former, the said film or strip when passed
over H, as stated, is kept in close contact therewith by the means of a wood or other
roller N, an enlarged detached view of which is shewn in Fig. 5, and its position
in Figs. 1, 4, 7 and 8, and which, in combination with the lever upon which it is
mounted, and the manner of automatically locking the said lever, in both its active
and inactive positions, by the employment of only one spring forms one of the
features of my invention. The said roller N is of the usual formation and substan-
tially the same length as that of the width of the sprocket drum H, and has two
annular grooves g, in such a position as to coincide with the two rows of teeth d',
when the said roller is resting upon the drum H, and rotating therewith and
thereby, the said roller being mounted upon an arm, extending at right angles from
a lever N¹, pivotally mounted at a point gl upon the plate D, which said plate also
carries a suitably and accurately shaped plate spring h, the free end of which is so
curled, that when the roller N is resting upon the drum H as suggested by full
lines in Fig. 5, and in position by Figs. 1, 4, 7 and 8, the said curl presses against
the upper end of the rectangular end of the lever N¹, and serves to keep the said
roller N pressed down upon the film K, but when the said roller and its lever is
raised, (as shewn by dotted outline of N' in Fig. 5) for the purpose of adjusting the
said film upon the sprocket drum H as stated, the curl of the said spring / then
presses upon the back end
the upper surface of N, as shewn by dotted outline in
Fig. 5, and serves to retain the said lever so raised as long as may be needed.
Referring again to the guide formed by the plates J and J, these are usually
provided with an aperture of the same size and shape as that of the pictures upon
the film, but I find in practice, that, notwithstanding every care, it is possible for
the operator to place the film or strip K in connection with the teeth of the drum H,
so that the pictures when facing the said aperture may be (to the extent of the
distance between one perforation and the next) too high or too low, so that a portion
of the picture upon the screen is obscured by the upper or lower edge of the said
aperture. To obviate this I provide the said aperture somewhat longer than the
depth of the said pictures, and mount upon the outer face of the plate J a plate Na
(Fig. 2) having an aperture of approximately the same size as the said pictures, and
I provide upon the said plate N2 a toothed rack, with which gears a pinion j',
upon a rod, adapted to be rotated by a milled hand 3, and mounted in bearings j
the latter in combination with clips or their equivalents jo serving as guides in
which the said plate N2 may slide vertically when raised or lowered by the rotation
of the pinion j, and by thus raising or lowering N2, I compensate such inaccuracies
as may have occurred in the placing of the film or strip K. The back end B¹ of the
said case has an opening h¹ in line with the lens H³, and the aperture in the sliding
plate N2, and adapted to receive the lens k and slide aperture ¹, of any suitable
projecting lantern O, for providing the necessary light for projecting the said
pictures. The said lantern is preferably mounted upon a base 0, of such dimensions
as to also form a base upon which may rest the bottom A¹ of the said case.
manner of operation is as follows.
The
The film or strip K as first fed through the guide J, J, would be straight from
this to the roller M, as suggested by dotted outline in Fig. 7, when by rotating the
wheel or handle è motion would be imparted to the wheel E and the drum H thereon,
and by the rotation of E, and consequently the wheel E', and pinion G¹, motion
would be imparted to the crank shaft F, and assuming that the said crank and its
rod F is in the position shewn by Fig. 8 the strip K at this moment would be in
such a position, that one of its pictures would be facing the aperture in the plate N³,
but the forward movement of the piston rod F1, would cause the roller G2 thereon
to collide with the film or strip K, and push this into the position shewn by full

page_text: lines in Fig. 7, and as the forward end of the said strip or film is retained by the
drum H, such action of the piston would impart a downward pull upon K, off the
roller L, a distance equal to the depth of one picture, thus displacing the first picture
and placing in position the next, and the continued motion of the crank shaft F
causing the return motion of the piston rod F, the film or strip K would be left
slack as suggested by Fig. 8, and until such slack is taken up by the rotation of
the sprocket drum H, the said picture would be at rest facing the exposure aperture
in the plate N2, and the fraction of a second constituting the duration of such rest
would be the moment of projection, the next rotation of the crank shaft F' operating
upon the film or strip in like manner, and so on until the whole of the strip had
been fed intermittently through J and J¹, and off the drum H, the said strip as so
fed passing out through the opening B2 in B to be collected in any vessel suitable
for its reception.
In machines of this type it is necessary to have some form of shutter to obstruct
the light at the moment that the film is passing the exposure aperture in N2, for
the purpose of deceiving the eye of, and preventing the details of the passing picture
from being seen by, the observer, but in order that the flicker caused by the passing
of such shutter may not be too intense, various forms of shutters have been devised
having perforations or slits therein. In some cases it may be convenient that such
shutter may operate in front of the lens H¹, or in others at the back or front of the
exposure aperture in the guide plates J, J, and I reserve to myself the right to
employ a shutter in either of these positions, and if the former, I may mount a shutter
such as P, in suitable bearings, and arrange that the same may be operated by bevel
or and other gearing such as m, actuated by and from the wheel E, as shewn in
Figs. 1, 2 and 4, or if the latter, I may mount such a shutter in the position shewn
by full lines in Fig. 1 and by dotted outline in Fig. 3, and arrange that the same may
be operated by bevel or and other wheels such as m', actuated by and from the
wheel E', as shewn in the two figures last mentioned. In either case I prefer to
use a shutter having two blades as shewn, the gearing of same being so adjusted
that the said blades would operate alternately so as to obscure the light at the
desired moment before mentioned, and I may find it convenient to provide perfora-
tions such as n, or slits such as n¹, in the said blades, or perforations in the one and
slits in the other, as shewn in Fig. 2, and I may cover the said perforations or slits
with gold-beaters skin, thin celluloid or other semi-transparent material to tone
down the light passing therethrough, but as neither of these arrangements have
hitherto proved quite satisfactory, I have invented a shutter which in practice I have
found to answer every purpose.
For the purposes of my invention I construct the two blades of my improved
shutter of thin celluloid, pegamoid, or other semi-transparent material, without
perforations or slits, each moulded in the form of a section of a lady's fan, sub-
stantially as at Fig. 11, and I find in practice that the folds of this, by reason of their
being presented more or less edgewise to the light, provide sufficient opacity to effect
the necessary obscurity, while the creases between them are sufficiently transparent
to permit the passage of so much light as is necessary to impart the desired effect.
In order that the same mechanism may be employed for rewinding the strips K
along the reels L, I provide that one end of the crank shaft F may extend through
the plate D¹ a sufficient distance to carry a suitable nosing p, adapted to receive the
reel L, while the said plate D¹ has fixed thereon a wire or other guide r, as shewn in
Figs. 1, 3, and 4, through which the film may pass when being wound upon a reel
fixed upon p, (as suggested by dotted outline in Fig. 4), when rotated by the
rotation of actuated by the motion imparted by the wheel or handle c.
In order that the screen upon which the said pictures are to be projected may
not be left blank while an empty reel L is being replaced by a full one upon the
bracket L', and as such removal and replacement of these can only be effected by
opening the door C, I provide upon the top A of the case, an opening through which
passes in a downward direction a rod s, (Figs. 1 and 3) carrying upon its lower end,
within the case, a transparent picture s¹, so that when the said rod s is lowered the

page_text: said picture would be facing the aperture in N2, as indicated by dotted outline in
Figs. 1 and 3, when the said picture would be projected upon the screen, but when
the said rod is raised the said picture would be lifted above the level of the said
aperture, as shewn by full lines in Fig. 1, and in order that the said lowering and
raising of s may occur automatically, I provide in the top of the rod s, a loop t,
through which passes the upper member t¹ of a two-armed lever pivotted upon a
bracket t, upon the top A, the lower member of the said lever being at such an
angle relatively to t¹, that the door C when closed forces inwardly the member t³
into a vertical position, thereby raising the member t, as shewn by full lines in
Fig. 3, thus raising the picture s¹ into the position shewn by full outline in Fig. 1,
but when the door C is opened and releases the member 3, the weight of the rod s
and the picture s¹ thereon would cause the member t¹ to lower and the member t³
to extend outwardly as indicated by dotted outlines in Fig. 3, thus automatically
placing the picture s¹ in focus with the light and lens H, as indicated by dotted
outline in Figs. 1 and 3, while the reels L are being manipulated as stated.
For convenience in the drawings the said picture device is shewn nearer to the
source of light than in actual practice would be most convenient, as the position
shewn would necessitate altering the focus of the lens H¹ each time, therefor the
position of the said device may more conveniently be such as to, as near as possible,
occupy the position of the guide plates J, J¹ when these are removed as stated by
the opening of the door C.
In order that the audience may not be left unamused for an indefinite period
should accident or mishap occur to the film or strip K, or other part of the mecha-
nism, and as only the light and condensor of the lantern O and not the lens kis
required for the purposes of projection, I have invented an improved lens, adapted
for use in such a contingency. For the purposes of this portion of my invention,
I construct the lens k, and its holder, substantially as shewn by Fig. 1, and the
enlarged views Figs. 12 and 13, that is to say, the case or tube into which the
lens usually screws I form in two parts R and R¹, hinged together at one side S,
and to the upper half R I fix by any suitable means the lens k, so that this may
move therewith, and when the lantern is in use for projecting purposes, as herein-
before described, the said upper half R with the lens may be thrown out of use,
as indicated by Fig. 13, so that the light may then pass through the condensor T
directly on to the film or strip K, but should such accident or mishap occur as
herein before described, I could instantly throw the lens k and the half case R over
into the half case R', as shewn by Figs. I and 12, when by passing or placing lantern
pictures through or into the slide passage k¹ of the lantern O, such pictures would
be projected upon the screen in the usual way, and so keep the audience enter-
tained as long as necessary to repair or correct the said mishap, but in order to effect
this the said containing case must, pro tem., be removed, and I arrange for this by
forming the bottom A¹ of the shape shewn by Fig. 4, which I pivot upon the base 01
of the lantern at a point 02, which provides, that the said bottom and all thereon may
be swung round upon such pivot leaving the lens k clear for projection as described.
In adapting my invention as a camera for taking rapidly photographic pictures
of moving objects upon the film or strip K, I remove the lantern O, and close
the aperture light-tight, and provide a light-tight cover for the reel of sensitized
film L, as suggested by dotted outline at W, or I may so arrange the height of the
sides C, C and ends B, BI as to so enclose L (as suggested by dotted outline at L
in Fig. 1) and provide a light tight cover or box for the aperture B2 in Bas
suggested by dotted outline at V. Fig. 1 and dispense with the shutter l' in front of
the lens H, (if such be used) and substitute for the said lens such other as may be
suitable for the purpose, and having placed the apparatus in proper focus with the
object to be photographed, the operation of the mechanism and the passage of the
sensizitized film or strip K, would be substantially the same as that described and
the said film or strip after leaving the drum would pass through the aperture B2 in B
into the said case or box V, and I may arrange in the said case or box a reel or

page_text: drum such as X, operated by a spring, weight, or other suitable means, upon which
the said strip may be automatically wound as passed out until it may be convenient
to develope the same in the usual way.

In taking photographs in such rapid succession it becomes necessary that the
operator should make himself conversant with the rate at which he should rotate
the handle e in order to obtain such rapidity of movement of the film or strip K,
most suitable with regard to the movements of the object being photographed, and
hitherto the best known means for ascertaining this has been by the use of a
metronome," but this not being reliable or satisfactory, I, for the purposes of my
invention, employ an ordinary cyclometer, as used upon cycles, and shewn in Fig. 6,
and this I fix upon the door C, in the position shewn by Y, in dotted outline at
Fig. 4, and rotating within a suitable boss w, also upon C, I provide a spindle v
passing through C, and carrying upon its inner end a pinion y, in gear with the
toothed wheel E, and having the same number of teeth as the pinion G upon the
crank shaft F, which ensures that y and G may rotate at the same rate, and each
receiving one revolution to each movement of the film K, and upon the outer end
of the said spindle v, I provide a finger w¹, adapted to make contact at each revo-
lution of v, with a member of the ordinary star wheel 2, of the cyclometer, so that
each such movement of the said star wheel may operate the hand and numerals of
the cyclometer, and so register the number of exposures in a given time, which by
comparison with the rate of rotation of the hand wheel c will supply the information
needed for ensuring a good exposure.
Although in the foregoing specification of my invention I have described and
shewn the apparatus or machine enclosed by a case, with the major portion of the
mechanism supported by and upon the door C, I may, for convenient of circum-
stances, dispense with the said case, and arrange that such parts as are now supported
by C and B, may be supported by suitable standards, brackets pillars or the like
fixed upon the base A, but such an arrangement would preclude the employment of
the automatic picture device, represented by s, s, t, t¹, t³ and t³, and would preclude
the use of the apparatus as a camera, but in all other respects, when used for the
purposes of projection, the apparatus may be manipulated as described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
