Granted: 1909-04-27
Abstract: 9145. Boothby, F. S. E., Rogers, F. H., and Pressland, W. T. April 27. Hydraulic transmisson of power. - Relates to hydraulic clutches of the type described in Specification No. 918, A.D. 1905, in which the engine is set free by laterally separating the driving and driven chambers whereby the liquid is able to circulate freely around the parts, and consists in a construction in which the cam-retracted vanes are dispensed with. Upon the face 2 of the outer casing 1, which is carried by the driving-shaft 5, is mounted a concentric ring 16 having slots formed tberein through which works the piston or vane 17. The outer ends of the vane work in a crescentshaped chamber formed between the outside of the ring 16 and the inner side of an eccentric chamber 20, which is mounted in a laterally slidable manner on the driven shaft 9 and has a gate valve 25 formed at one side. The lateral movement of the shaft 9 first causes the opening of the valve 25 by the action of the link-work shown, whereupon the clutch works at intermediate speeds, and finally causes the chamber 20 to move away from the casing 2 and from the ring 16, whereupon the liquid can freely escape and the engine runs free. The vane is formed in two parts with a spring between them.

Title: Improvements in Advertising Devices.
Inventor: BOOTH HAROLD SIMS JOSEPH
Filed: 1908-09-21
Granted: 1909-09-21
Abstract: 19,769. Booth, H. S. J., and Otto, E. C. F. Sept. 21. [Cognate Application No. 6705, A.D. 1909, dated March 20.] Advertising. - An advertising-band on rollers, or a drum or set of falling leaves is operated by a door &c. through a cord or chain and clock-work mechanism. The advertising-band is connected to chains c, Fig. 13, maintained correctly distanced by strips b of metal, and driven by chain-wheels d, Fig. 5. The cord x, Fig. 5, when pulled by the door &c., winds up the spring y and causes the blank part of the partly-toothed wheel 2, Figs. 5 and 11, to rotate the spindle r, and tension the spring n. Upon slackening the cord x, the spring y winds it up again, and the spring n rotates the spindle r, and, through the ratchet gearing u, v, chain gearing 5, 6, and sleeve 7, tensions. the spring 16. The projection 10 on the disk 9, attached to the chain-wheel 6, raises the arm 13, Fig. 9, engaging the disk 15, and allows the spring 16 to rotate the roller e and its advertising-band until stops 11, 14, Fig. 9, on the faces of the disks 10, 15, Fig. 5, come together again. This operation is repeated until the spring n has run down. The spindle r and the parts it drives are controlled by a governor, connected up to the spindle r by a train of wheels s, 25, 26. During these operations the rotating spindle r, Fig. 12, engages by the tooth 4 with the teeth of the wheel 2 and gradually returns to the position of Fig. 11, and by so operating prevents over-winding ; for if the door is pulled open while the tooth 4 is only part way round the toothed part of the wheel 2, the wheel 2 will rotate without operating the spindle r until the blank part 33, Fig. 11, of the wheel engages the tooth again. In a modification, Fig. 16, the spring, tensioned by the cord x and enclosed by a drum 37, on recovery from torsion, drives a partlytoothed wheel 36, which rotates and then locks the wheel 35 at each revolution, thus giving the advertising-band on the drum e a number of movements each time the cord x is re-wound upon its drum. A lamp commutator may form part of either device.
