Kinetographic Camera

My invention relates generally to consecutive-view apparatus and to strip or film feeding mechanism therefor, and particularly to photographic cameras employed for taking a rapid succession of views of objects in motion, from which the movements of said objects may be reproduced to the eye by means of a suitable apparatus; and my invention is particularly intended for the taking of pictures to be used in the instrument for reproducing the movements of objects from a succession of views thereof for which Letters Patent No. 549,309 were issued to me on 25 November 5, 1895, or to be used in the other instrument for reproducing the movements of objects upon a screen for which I filed an application for Letters Patent of even date herewith, Serial No. 5S0,810.

Mutoscope

Mutoscope

This invention relates to the construction and operation of a mutoscope.
My object is to produce a device upon which picture-cards are adapted to be mounted, so arranged and operated that by successively and quickly bringing the pictures upon the cards into the line of vision they will exhibit the changing positions of the body of the figures and apparently reproduce to the eyes the movements of the performers; and to that end my invention consists in the several new and novel features and combination of parts here in after described and which are specifically set forth in the claim hereunto annexed. It is constructed as follows, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section of the mutoscope and means for successively and quickly bringing the figures upon the cards into the line of vision. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the device complete.

Consecutive-View Apparatus

Consecutive-View Apparatus

My invention relates to consecutive-view apparatus, and particularly to hand-operated consecutive-view-exhibition apparatus, such as the mutoscope covered by Letters Patent No. 549,309, dated November 5, 1895, granted to Herman Casler; and my invention consists in the means for illuminating the several views as they pass into the field of view of the apparatus and for cutting off the light when the operation of the apparatus ceases and in the novel combination, construction, and arrangement of the parts of the apparatus.
