Assigned to Eastman Kodak Co. - Rochester, Monroe County NY

Abstract: My present invention has for its object to provide an improved panoramic camera in which different portions of the sensitized surface, such as photographic film, are successively exposed to the action-of the rays of light passing through the lens, said lens and the shutter or tube containing it preferably rotating upon a vertical axis coincident with the lens center or at the point where the rays of light cross; and it consists in certain improvements whereby the shutter may be oscillated in opposite directions to make an exposure, thus obviating the necessity of cap ping the lens and resetting the shutter or exposing-tube, as heretofore; and to this end it consists in certain improvements in construction and combinations of parts. Claim: The combination with the oscillatory apertured shutter member having the pinion, the lever having these segmental rack meshing with the pinion, the oscillatory arbor having the arm, and the spring connected to the arm and lover, of the spring-catch engaging the lever, and means for operating said catch to release it.
