APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTIN-G S'pecication of Letters Patent,
Patented July 2?, 1909.`
Application filed March 9, 15507. Serial No. 861,523;
mechanism is desirable.
Examples of such mechanism may be seen in :--A. H. Edwardss U. S. patentv dated 1st July, 1902, No. 703,904.' A. H. Edwardss U. S. patent dated 9th September, 1902, No. 708,876. A. H. Edwardss U. S. patent dated 14th August, 1906, No. 828,815.
This invention .is especially applicable to any 'such apparatus .or mechanism wherein a plaited outer cover of braid or of'a textile material is employed all of which forms of outer cover I will for the sake ofv brevity Vhereinafter refer to as the braided outer cover.
Now the present invention relates more especiallyto the attachment of the ends of said braided outer=cover to the parts of the mechanism by which the said ends are to be held and secured, and to means for effecting such attachment, a further object being to 'enable said attachment to be-simply, quickly and cheaply effected and in such wise that the extreme ends of-said braided outer cover A to describe the same as carried into practice in the case of a photographie f release wherein the innermost member consists of a wire inclosd by an open-coiled intermediate member with a braided outer cover or stockin such as referred to in t-he aforesaid Patent o. 828,815.
Referring to the accompanying drawing :Figure l is a longitudinal section of a flexible mechanism for the transmission of powerconstriicted in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 showing a modified form. of the invention.
At the end of the mechanism, Fig. 1, which is opposite tothe end which carries the push button a,'the end of the braided'outer cover b has a sleeve c slid thereover, which sleeve either carries the means such as the four spring prongs d of the well known type by which the mechanism is attached to the photographic shutter (or other part of the thing to be operated) or said sleeve c may be attached to said means, for example, as shown in Fig. 2 by spinning or turning in the edge c thereof over the flange c of the inner sleeve c which latter by means of its screwthreaded outer end e2 serves to attach the mechanism to the shutter.
In Fig. 1, the .end of the braided outer cover b opposite the prongs d is held se-v curel between the inwardly tapering end i h of the sleeve Il, carrying the push button a, and the inner sleeve f as shown. This sleeve f is of short length and terminatesA in the larger part of the sleeve 72.21, as plainly seen in Fig. l. The cap o'r part j21 1n this case has a sleeve portion j adapted to slidefree-ly on the exterior of the sleeve it and having fixed thereto across-bar ja adapted to slide in the slotted portion h3 of the sleeve [1.21, which sleevet21 is prolonged and terminates at its extreme end in the push button a as shown. To the said cross-bar js is attached the inner end of the wire z",
forming the innermost member of the mechanism and one end of the spring w21 is also attached to the cross-bar y and at 'itsother end this spring m21 is fixed in the short thimble n which is cramped and locked in the position shown between spring m21 and theopen coiled spring g.
In Fig. 2, the braided outer cover b is seicurely held in between the tapering end 7122 of the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve f3" (which is a short sleeve terminating at f2* after the manner shown in Fig. 1.) the end of theopen coiled wire g (forming the intermediate meinber) in this case being shown fiaredand this flared end located 'between the tapering portion of the inner sleeve f3 and the tapering portion 11,22 of the outer sleeve'k, which latter is prolonged as in Fig. 1, and has the button a formed on the end thereof. The ca or part corresponding to j in Fig. 1, in t is case has the tubular portion j adapted to slide on the,Iv exterior of the sleeve b21 and has a cross-bar ji*2 traveling in the slot 71.32 in the sleeve b21, to which cross-bar j one end of the wire z' is fixed, the said cap being normal-ly kept pressed away from the button a by means of the interposed auxiliary spring a.
What I claim is 1. In a flexible mechanism for the transmission of power, the combination of la braided outer cover of the character referred to, means for securely attaching the end of said braided outer cover, comprising an outer sleeve of tapering form, and an inner sleeve of an externally tapering form between which the end of said 'braided outer cover is gripped and'held concealed, a cap 7'21 rovided with a sleeve portion 3'22 surroun ing said outer sleeve, an inner member z' adapted to slide within said outer cover, means carried by said cap and attached to said inner member at one end for sliding the same, and
means at the opposite end Iot said mechanism for attaching. the same to a camera or other object, substantially as described.
2. In a flexible mechanism for the transmission of power, the combination of a braided outer cover, means for securely attaching and concealing the ends of the same, consisting of outer 'and inner flared sleeves between which said ends are gripped, a flexible coiled spring in said cover, a cap j provided with a sleeve portion j surrounding one of said outer sleeves, an inner member adapted to slide within said spring, and means -for attaching said mechanism to a camera, substantially as described.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.
ARTHUR HENRY EDWARDS.
