I HENRY JOSEPH REDDING of 48 Myddleton Square London in the County of
Middlesex Optician do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in photographic apparatus of the character
known as roll holder or 66
"
detective cameras and also to improvements in photographic
shutters and view finders for use with such cameras or for any other cameras or
lenses where applicable.
This improved detective camera is mounted in a leather or other suitable case
the top and back parts whereof are hinged so as to open and allow access to the
camera which is constructed and arranged as follows:-
:-
At the front of the camera on either side of the lens the spool (or film holder) and
reel are placed the prepared paper or film being wound off the spool onto the reel by
a key or handle on top of the latter-the paper or film passing round a guide roller
mounted at each corner at back of the camera and coming opposite the lens for
exposure at the back of the camera.
One such guide roller or a separate roller serves as a measuring roller by means of
a flexible cord or connection wound on a narrowed part. of the same which winds off
another roller (or vice versa) having a hand or pointer indicating on a dial when the
necessary amount of paper is wound and also the number of exposures taken.
The position of the spool and reel (on which latter the film or sensitive paper is
secured in any convenient manner) is of great importance as by this means I am
enabled to make my improved camera very compact.
The spool on which the prepared paper or film is held is mounted with a spring at
one or both ends thereof to press against the ends of and holding same in position and
giving the required tension thereto one end of this spring clip being hinged so as to
allow the removal and replacing of the spool.

page_text: The apparatus is enclosed in a light tight case of any suitable material-the back
and two side being formed to slide off and so give access to the inner parts a pricker
being arranged in the back to puncture the paper and so mark the lengths of paper
for development afterwards.
The view finder differs from view finders as heretofore constructed the lens employed
heing a concave or diminishing lens with a mirror or reflector placed at an angle of
45 degrees or thereabouts so as to give the view from above and this avoids any
necessity of using ground glass and this improved view finder may be used with my
improved camera or with any other camera where applicable.
My improved shutter is constructed as follows applied to the front of my improved
camera :-
A peculiarly formed slide or thin flat plate of a sort of quadrant shape is mounted
to turn freely on a pin or axis at its centre and having an aperture therein corre-
sponding with the lens aperture. This plate is caused to travel across the path of the
lens aperture by means of a suitable spring attached at one end to a pin mounted
outside the centre of a plate and at the other end is secured to a slide which is moved
across by the operator from one side to the other and the shutter is then ready to be
released by a suitable spring catch or trigger-the pull of the spring causing the
plate to travel across the path of the lens aperture and so give the exposure and is
again set ready for another exposure by simply moving the aforesaid slide across in
the reverse direction to the last-thus this shutter can be set ready for each exposure
without thereby having to admit light through the lens aperture as it works alternately
from one side to the other and is not moved in setting ready to give an exposure and
according to the distance which the slide is moved across so the duration of exposure
is regulated.
It will be obvious that other arrangements of springs may be adapted to actuate
my improved shutter having the alternate movement from side to side.
This improved shutter may be adapted to any other photographic camera or lenses
to which it can or may be applied.

page_text: Improvements in Photographic Roll Holder Cameras and in
Photographie-Shutters-and-View Finders.
I HENRY JOSEPH REDDING of 48 Myddelton Square London in the County of
Middlesex Optician do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in photographic apparatus of the character
known as roll holder or " detective cameras also to improvements in photographie
shutters for use with such cameras or for any other cameras or lenses where
applicable.
This improved camera may or may not be mounted (as desired and in accordance
with the purpose for which it is intended) in a leather or other suitable case the top
and back parts whereof are formed so as to open and allow access to the camera
which is constructed and arranged as follows :-
At the front of the camera on either side of the lens the spool (or film holder) and
reel'are respectively placed the prepared paper or film being wound off the spool onto
the reel by a key or handle on one end of the latter-the paper or film passing round
a guide roller or rollers mounted at each corner at back of the camera and coming
opposite the lens for exposure at the back of the camera.
One such guide roller or a separate roller may serve as a measuring roller by means
of a flexible cord or connection wound on a narrowed part of the same which winds
off another roller (or vice versa) having a hand or pointer indicating on a dial
when the necessary amount of paper is wound and also the number of exposures taken
or any other suitable measuring contrivance may be adapted for the purpose.
The position and arrangement of the spool and reel (on which latter the sensitive
paper is secured in any convenient manner) in the front of the camera is of great
importance.
The spool on which the prepared paper or film is held is mounted in a detachable
holder with a spring at one or both ends thereof to press against the ends of and
holding same in position and givinge the required tension thereto-one end of this
spring clip or detachable spool holder being hinged so as to allow the removal and
replacing of the spool.
The several parts are mounted in a light tight casing of wood or other suitable
material the back and two sides being formed to slide off and so give access to these
parts or the light tight frame or casing may be arranged and constructed in any other
suitable manner a pricker being arranged to puncture the paper and so mark the
lengths of paper for development afterwards.
The view finder is a concave or diminishing lens with a mirror or reflector placed
it an angle of 45 degrees or thereabouts so as to give the view from above thus

page_text: avoiding any necessity of using ground glass but I make no claim separately hereunto
as I find such view finder is in itself not new.
The concave lens may also be mounted on a hinge to turn up thereon above the
top of the camera and so act as a direct view finder and thus the view finder can be
used either one way or the other as desired.
My improved shutter applied to the front of-my-improved camera is constructed as
follows
A peculiarly formed slide (advantageously a thin-fat metal plate) of a sort of
quadrant share is mounted to turn freely on a pin or axis at its centre and having an
aperture therein corresponding with the lens aperture. This plate is caused to travel
across the path of the lens aperture by means of a suitable-spring-(advantageously
india rubber)-attached at one end to a pin mounted outside the centre of the plate and
at the other end is secured to a slide piece which is moved aeross by the operator from
one side to the other and the shutter is then ready to be released by a suitable spring
eatch or trigger the pull of the spring causing the plate to travel across the path of
the lens aperture and so give the exposure and is again set ready for another exposure
by simply moving the aforesaid slide across in the reverse direction to the last thus
this shutter can be set ready for each exposure without thereby having to admit light
through the lens aperture as it works alternately-from-one-side-to-the-other and is
not moved in setting ready to give an exposure and according to the distance-which
the slide is moved across so the rapidity of the exposure is regulated.
It will be obvious that other arrangements of springs may be adapted to actuate
my improved-shutter having the alternate-movement from side to side.
This improved shutter may be adapted to any other photographie-camera or lenses
to which it can or may be applied.
I would here remark that I do not limit myself in any way to using the above "view
finder" or any other view finder as 1 may or may not use a view, finder with my improved
camera- my object in herein describing and illustrating a view finder being for the
sake of completeness of detail.
Any suitable shutter may be applied or adapted for use with my improved camera so
long as such shutter fulfils the following conditions and requirements viz.:
The shutter must be capable of being set ready or prepared for giving an exposure
without in so preparing or setting ready admitting light to the interior of the camera.
And in order that my invention may be the more easily understood and readily
carried into practice I will proceed to describe the same with reference to the accom-
panying sheet of drawings.
.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 is a perspective view (looking at the lens aperture) of a suitable leather
.case.
:
Figure 2 is a front view of the camera" with the outer leather casing removed
.and parts of the inner light tight casing broken away to show a suitable indicating or
tell tale appliance.
i
Figure 3 is a vertical section on line 1.1 Figure 4.
Figure 4 is a sectional plan on line 2-2 Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a plan of the top of the inner casing part being broken away to show
the pricker.
Figure 6 is the removable spring spool holder and
Figure 7 shows such spool and removable spring holder in position..
A is the light tight chamber at back of which the sensitive paper passes and is
exposed the shape of this chamber being conical or other equivalent shape....
B is the shutter hereinafter explained..
Cis the view finder having concave lens U as shown in Figure 3 with a mirror
to project the view through the aperture P. as indicated by the arrow...
Dis the spool and spool holder arrangement."
E is the spring pricker arranged as shown the button simply requiring pressing to
mark the length of paper used at each exposure."

page_text: is the lens aperture.
P is the aperture through which the view is projected.
U is the concave lens which if desired may be mounted in a frame hinged so as to
turn up above the top of the camera as shown in dotted lines in Figure 3 to serve as
"direct" view finder.
a
a is the spool on which the prepared paper a¹ is mounted this paper a¹ passing
round the guide rollers b' and 6' at the corners c at the back of the camera passes
partly round the measuring or indicating roll band is then wound on to the receiving
roller or reel d (as hereinafter explained) the prepared paper thus passing from the
spool in the front of the camera round the back of the camera for exposure and is
then wound on the reel in the front of the camera.
The spool holder (Figure 6) is advantageously made of metal and consists of a
spring bottom piece e attached to an upright f this holder being slid into the
casing and held in its proper place by the projecting rib or part g, the top h is
hinged to fas shown in Figure 6 and the spool is held in by and is free to
revolve on the studs or axes e¹ and ' (Figure 7) on the bottom and top parts e
and respectively while the compressed spring bottom e gives the required resistance
in winding the paper off the spool and so keeps the required tension on the paper
for exposure.
Access is obtained to the inside of the inner casing by sliding off the two sides
and back y from the rest of the inner casing x as shown at Figure 4, or in any
other convenient manner.
The indicating appliance (shown in the drawings for the sake of example only as
it forms no part of my present invention as any other suitable indicating apparatus
may be used if desired) consists of a "snail" let in to the top of the measuring
roller 6 as shown in Figure 2 which "snail" pushes up the pin on the spring b*
until it falls with a click and so indicates that the desired amount of paper has been
wound off for exposure.
m is a ratchet wheel fixed to the receiving roller or reel d with a pawl n and
spring (Figure 5) to prevent same turning back and is actuated by a convenient
handle or key hinged or otherwise attached thereto or may have a separate key m! as
shown which latter arrangement will be found advantageous as it prevents tampering
with the roll holder. The following is a description of a suitable shutter for use with my
improved camera which shutter fulfils the requirements and conditions hereinbefore defined
as necessary.
.
The shutter B is mounted to turn on the axis p and is connected to the slide
which travels in the undercut or dovetail channel by means of a suitable spring
which in the example illustrated at Figure 2 is an india rubber band z which shutter
is released to give an exposure (through the aperture B¹) by the trigger or catch s-
a knobs on which projects beyond the outer casing for this purpose as in Figure 1.
It will thus readily be seen that by simply moving the slide 9 across from right to
left or vice versa the spring is extended and on releasing the triggers by the knob s¹
the shutter B is caused to travel across the path of the lens aperture F and gives the
desired exposure through the opening B¹ in the shutter B.
The shutter B is retained open if desired for a lengthened exposure by the trigger s
catching in the middle slot or notch B*.
It will be obvious that the retaining open and releasing of this shutter may be
modified in various ways and also may be adapted to other constructions of photo-
graphie cameras or to photographie lenses without departing from the nature of my
invention.
I wish it to be distinctly understood that I make, no claim whatever herein to this
shutter B or any other shutter neither do I limit myself to the use of any particular
shutter with my improved camera.
1
i is a convenient handle or attachment to the leather outer case which may be used
if desired.
The various parts of the hereinbefore described apparatus are made of any suitablę

page_text: material or materials according to their nature and requirements as will be readily
understood by anyone conversant with this character of work.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A shutter for photographic cameras or lenses such as B-mounted on a central
axis-p so that in its path of travel an aperture therein comes opposite an opening such
as F to give the required exposure substantially in the manner and for the purposes
hereinbefore described and illustrated in the drawings annexed.
2. The improved arrangement and construction of shutters for photographie cameras
or lenses substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
3. 1. In photographic roll holder cameras the detachable spool holder consisting
of a spring bottom piece e connected to an upright to which is hinged a top part h
arranged and mounted in the camera frame substantially in the manner and for the
purposes hereinbefore described and as represented in the drawings annexed.
42. The improved arrangement of the several parts of a photographic camera by
which the spool or prepared paper holder such as a and the receiving roller such as d
are respectively placed in the front part of the camera close to the lens or lens
aperture substantially in the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore described and
illustrated in the drawings annexed.
3. In photographic roll holder cameras I claim the arranging and mounting of
the spool for holding the prepared paper and the reel for receiving same in the front
of the camera close to the lens or the lens aperture in the spaces formed between the
-sides of the chamber A and the side walls of the camera frame or case instead of at the
back of the camera as heretofore done substantially as and for the purposes set-
forth.
: 6. 4. The improved photographic roll holder camera arranged and constructed
substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
75. The improved arrangement construction and combination of photographic
apparatus substantially in the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore described and
illustrated in the drawings hereunto annexed.

roller or réel d (as hereinafter explained) the prepared paper thus passing from the
spool in the front of the camera round the back of the camera for exposure and is
then wound on the reel in the front of the camera.
The spool holder (Figure 6) is advantageously made of metal and consists of a
spring bottom piece e attached to an upright this holder being slid into the
casing & and held in its proper place by the projecting rib or part g, the top h is
hinged to fas shown in Figure 6 and the spool is held in by-and is free to

and respectively while the compressed spring bottom e gives the required resistance
in winding the paper off the spool and so keeps the required tension on the paper

Access is obtained to the inside of the inner casing by sliding off the two sides
and back y from the rest of the inner casing x as shown at Figure 4, or in any
other convenient manner.
The indicating appliance (shown in the drawings for the sake of example only as
it forms no part of my present invention as any other suitable indicating apparatus
may be used if desired) consists of a "snaillet in to the top of the measuring
roller b as shown in Figure 2 which "snail" pushes up the pin on the spring 6*

m is a ratchet wheel fixed to the receiving roller or reel d with a pawl n and
spring o(Figure 5) to prevent same turning back and is actuated by a convenient
handle or key hinged or otherwise attached thereto or may have a separate key m' as
shown-which latter arrangement will be found advantageous as it prevents tampering
with the roll holder.
The shutter B is mounted to turn on the axis p and is connected to the slide q
which travels in the undercut or dovetail- channel by means of a suitable spring
which in the example illustrated at Figure 2 is an india rubber band which shutter
is released to give an exposure (through the aperture B¹) by the trigger or catch s―
a knob s¹ on which projects beyond the outer casing for this purpose as in Figure 1.
It will thus readily be seen that by simply moving the slide q across from right to

the shutter B is caused to travel across the path of the lens aperture F and gives the
desired exposure through the opening B1 in the shutter B.
The shutter B is retained open if desired for a lengthened exposure by the trigger s
catching in the middle slot or notch B*.
It will be obvious that the retaining open and releasing of this shutter may be
modified in various ways and also may be adapted to other constructions of photo-
graphic cameras or to photographic lenses-without departing from the nature of my
