Patent GB-190816671-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Device for Preventing the Dirtying of the Sweat Bands and the Transmission of Germs of Disease in Trying On Head Coverings.
Inventor: RASCHBACHER CHRISTIAN
Filed: 1908-08-07
Granted: 1908-09-03
Abstract: 16,671. Raschbacher, C. F. Aug. 7. Leathers or trying-on bands. To prevent soiling of the hat leather, a paper or other head-band b is adapted to be placed round the head and adjusted to the size of the head before the hat is tried on. One or both ends of the band, which is provided with a tongue f<1> at the back to facilitate handling, are formed with loops a which engage over the other end of the band, so that the ends may be displaced to adjust the size of the head-band. Adhesive strips d may be employed to fix the ends after adjustment. The band may be made without loops in which case it is provided with adhesive ends, and may have upon it a scale indicating the points at which the ends must be fixed for different sizes of head. The band may be made tubular so that the size may be adjusted by inserting one end in the other.

Patent GB-190821027-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Alarums and Speed Indicators for Motor Cars and other Vehicles.
Inventor: WILFORD ROBERT CRONE
Filed: 1908-10-28
Granted: 1909-04-15
Abstract: 21,027. Wilford, R. C. Oct. 28. Speed indicators.-A bell is rung upon the completion of successive uniform distances by a motor or other road vehicle for the purpose of giving an alarm of the approach of the vehicle and affording an indication of speed. The hammer mechanism of the bell is operated by a spur or crank upon a wheel mounted upon the frame of the vehicle and driven from one of the road wheels at a reduced speed through a worm and worm - wheel. The velocity ratio is so chosen that the number of seconds elapsing between successive strokes of the bell when multiplied by a suitable factor gives the time taken to traverse a mile and hence the speed in miles per hour.
Patent GB-190823185-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Controlling and Recording the Speed of Vehicles.
Inventor: RECONDO ABEL ALEXANDRE RAIMOND
Filed: 1908-10-30
Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 23,185. Recondo, A. A. R. G. de. Nov. 9, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Motor road vehicles.- Apparatus is arranged between the carburettor and the motor of a motor vehicle to regulate its speed by cutting off the supply of petrol, interrupting the ignition, or cutting off steam or electric power as soon as the driver has exceeded the speed limit, and also to record a certain number of such infractions of the speed limit. Two cocks a, b are arranged in the pipe 1 connecting the carburettor to the motor, spiral springs which surround them tending to keep them closed. A speed indicator (not shown) is connected to an arm 12 pivoted at 13, which, operating through parts 14, 16, 18, 19, tends to withdraw a finger 22 into an opening 23 in the plate 24 against the influence of a spring. A spring pressed arm 28, pivoted at 29 to the plate 10, carries a cam-faced piece 27 which projects through the plate. The plate 24 is provided with two stops 32, 33 operating an arm 35 carrying a pawl 34 which moves a toothed sector 36, and is provided with five teeth. Another rim with the same number of teeth permits a stop pawl 38 to act on the sector. The closing position of the cock a is limited by a stop 24<1> and that of the cock b by the projection 41 on its plate resting on the arm 40 which in turn rests on the part 39<1> stopped at 42. To start the car, the handle 25 is moved in the direction of the arrow 26 to engage the stop 22 and thus turn the cock a. During its stroke, the handle engages the projection 27 and oscillates the arm 28, having just previously opened the cock b by engaging the projection 40<1> operating the parts 39<1>, 40. At the same time the pawl 34 will have advanced the sector 36 one tooth, thus indicating the starting of the apparatus. Assuming the speed limit has been exceeded, the speed indicator causes the stop 22 to be withdrawn as shown in Fig. 4, whereupon the cock a immediately closes under the influence of its spring. To restart the apparatus, the projection 27 is pushed back by a button 31, and the rod 25 is returned to its first position by the automatic closing of the cock b. The first operation is then repeated and the sector 36 moved through another tooth recording the first infraction. After all the teeth of the sector have passed the pawl 34, the petrol supply is finally cut off, the bridge 37 striking against the cross-beam 11. The car cannot now be restarted until the driver notifies an official who removes a suitable sealed plate or casing, and after noting the infractions re-adjusts the apparatus. A glazed opening can be provided in the casing so as to make visible a number indicating from 0 to 5. Two speed limits may be arranged for, a visible signal showing for which limit the apparatus is set.
Patent GB-190823519-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Rock Drills and other Pneumatically Operated, Tools
Inventor: FLOTTMANN HEINRICH
Filed: 1908-11-03
Granted: 1909-06-03
Abstract: 23,519. Flottmann, H. Nov. 3. Percussive hand tools. - Relates to means for lessening the cushioning in tools of the kind described in Specification No. 29,109, A.D. 1904, whereby the piston makes a longer stroke and gives a more powerful blow. The cylinder is provided with an auxiliary exhaust which remains open after the main exhaust is closed by the piston, but is automatically closed before the next stroke. Three modes of carrying out the invention are described. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, an auxiliary port h is arranged at the end of the cylinder and is controlled by the main valve. On the return stroke of the piston a, the port h remains open until the front end of the cylinder is opened to exhaust through port f. The difference in pressure on the valve ends reverses the valve and puts the port h in communication with the forward end of the cylinder. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, auxiliary exhaust ports h, h<1> are provided which communicate with the ports d, e through passages in the valve. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 5, the main supply and exhaust are controlled by a ball valve g and the piston a, as in the above-mentioned Specification, and the auxiliary ports by a slide-valve v. The ports t, u, w, x communicate with the cylinder, and the ports h, h<1> with the atmosphere. On the return stroke of the piston, the rear end of the cylinder is open to the auxiliary exhaust h until the forward end of the cylinder exhausts through the port f. The port x is open to the atmosphere; and the valve v is reversed by the difference in pressure on its ends During the forward stroke of the piston, the rear end of the cylinder receives an auxiliary supply of air through ports w, h<1> until the piston a passes the port f.

IPC: A23C3/033
Filed: 1909-04-03
Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 8041. Willmann, J. May 25, 1908, [Convention date]. Sterilizing milk &c.- Milk is pasteurized by being heated to 140-152‹ F. while flowing, and then held at that temperature for a sufficient time, for example, a quarter to half an hour, the milk meantime flowing c o ntinuously. Suitable apparatus comprises a pasteurizer 3, a cooler 4, and a container 5. The milk flows from a reservoir 33 into a tray 25 and over the outside of the pasteurizer, which has a steamchamber 11, into a trough 26, from which it flows into a tank 28 having a float 36 for controlling the milk outlet 35 from the reservoir 33. The milk is then passed by a pump 43 through the inner chamber 20 of the pasteurizer, fitted with a stirrer 21, and flows through a pipe 46 into the container 5, which may comprise radial chambers filled in turn by a rotating spout 57 upon a shaft 58, which also carries a lever 63 for successively opening the outlets 62. The milk passes by a pipe 65 to a two-way valve 69, from which it flows, either direct by a pipe 76 or through a pipe 32 and heat-exchanging chamber 24 of the pasteurizer, to the cooler 4. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the pasteurization of cream and other albuminous liquids; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
