rnorocmnrc-rnmrrne Imvrcn i To whom it meg/concern: 1' V a "'Be it known that I, CHARLES O. MILLER,

Arena, in the county of Delaware, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Photo 'aphic-Printing Devices; and I do hereby eclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains tomake'anduse the same.

This invention relates to photography and I has special reference to a device for printing positives from a negative. 1 v One'object'of heinventlon is to provide means wherebya success on of senslti'zed f blanks may be exposed-b hind. a negative,

the blanks. being held in a magazine: I

Another object of-the invention to pro-'- vide mechanism for the removalof the ex-- posed positive after such exposure.

Withhe'above and other vobjects in view,

' the invention consists in general of a magaand specifically set forth 1n the zine arranged to contain a suchas post cards or the ike and other mechanism whereby said blanks may be succes'sively' exposed i behind. anegative, the blanks being released after exposure;

The invention further consists certain novel. details of construction and 'COIIlblIlfl? tions of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in. the accom anyin drawings,

aims.

In the. accompanying drawings, like characters of. reference indicate like parts in' 'the severalviews, and :-Figure 1 is a rear elevation ofv a devlce constructed -1n accordance with this inventiom the imagazlnebemg shown, in. unexposed and in' position forex Fig.2 is a section on t the shutters being closed Fig. 3' is an enposition in fullylines osurein dotted lines.

These uidesare provided with grooves 13 an slidably ends and on the rear end of mounted'in the'grooves 13 is a slide '14 having a handle 15 at the upper end thereof. This slide 14 is provided with anopening 16 having rabbeted edges for the rece tion of a negative, "ateI-yiii-rean'of the slide" 1411sa plate .17.- This plate is hinged at its lower end to the iun'der side of the casingport-ion 11 and is provided with an exposure opening 18; 1 Furthermore,

Extending from side to side of the casing "11 and adjacent the to and bottom-of said casing are rods 29 an 30. Fixed to these rods 29 and 30 are shutter leaves 31 and 32 respectively and the edges of these shutter leavesare intended to overlap each other so that when the parts are in the position.

shown in Fig. 2 the entry of light from the I major base of'the frustum 10 to the casing 11 will be (prevented.- On the rod 30 exterior of sai casing is a rock arm 33 which is connected by a link 34 to a rock lever 35 fixed upon the rod 29 .and provided with an operati-n handle 36. In order to guard the edges 0 the shutters'there are also pro- 'vided light guards '37 as clearly seen in 2 and 3.-

Fi I 1 the operation of the device a negative is positioned in the opening 16 and against the rabbeted ed es thereof. The magazine is swung open. y movin the turn button 24:- so that the slot- 22 w' 'form. The 'follower plate 26 is then "drawn back by the handle 28 and the package of sensitized blanks placed in the magazine. Thetlatter is'then closed and the handle 28 released. When the magazine is closed the arts should be in the position shown in ig. 2, that is to say, in such position that the foremost blank will rest against the plate 17. The shutters are then closed by moving the handle 34 in the proper direction and the handle 15 gram ed and the slide and the magazine pushe down until the magazine registers with the exposure opening 18. Whenthis .takes place the spring 27 !forces the foremost blank out of e magazine against the negative. The shutters are then 0 ened and after suflic ient exposure has on given the blank,

are agaln closed. The handle 15 is again whic opening will be drawn u a short distance.

gras ed and'the slide drawn up. The-blank has been pushed into the ex osure between the magazine an the negative until its upper edge comes in contact with the upper edge of the exposure openin Further movement of the slide upwar carries vwith it the remainder of the blanks and the ,negative while the,positive' thus madev is held from upward movement bythe late 17. This operation is repeated until a the. blanks in the magazine have been exposed when a new set may be substituted.

* There hasthus been provided a simple and eificient device of the kind described and for the purpose specified.
