Patent GB-190800762-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Steam Turbines.
Inventor: MALLMAN FRIEDERICK JOSEPF
Filed: 1908-01-13
Granted: 1908-11-12
Abstract: 762. Mallman, F. J. Jan. 13. Screw motors.-Two cylinders, mounted on a shaft on either side of a central admission chamber, are divided into chambers by longitudinal partitions and transverse helical blades of gradually increasing pitch, the steam passing from chamber to chamber through valves, which open when a certain pressure is attained. Each cylinder c, c' is divided longitudinally by partitions h, and transversely by a helical blade j of increasing pitch, into a series of working and compression chambers i, i<x>. Steam enters the first compartment i from a central chamber d, and rotates the cylinder until the pressure in the compartment exceeds that of a spring- controlled arm l, Figs. 2 and 4, which is mounted on a shaft a, and is thereby rotated until a valve l<2>, which it carries, is forced from its seat by a fixed pin l<6>, and communication is established to the compartment i<x>. In this way, steam passes from compartment to compartment until it finally reaches an end drum m, from which it issues when its pressure exceeds that of an exhaust valve n.

Patent GB-190827356-A (GB)
Title: Valves for Regulating the Flow of Carbonated or Aerated Beverages.
Inventor: GARMAN JOHN HANNA ARMSTRONG
Filed: 1908-12-16
Granted: 1909-03-25
Abstract: 27,356. Garman, J. H. A., and Travis, J. M. Dec. 16. Pressure-r e g u l a t i n g valves.-A valve for automatically regulating the supply of carbonated water from a soda-water tank consists of a tubular body 7 sliding over the inlet 6 of an outer casing 1. The tube 7 has side perforations 9 and an end perforation 11. When the soda-water tank is freshly charged, the liquid is driven out under great pressure and lifts the valve 7 into contact with the seating 10. The sodawater can thus only pass through the central aperture 11. As the level of the liquid in the tank falls, the water escapes under less pressure, and the valve 7 falls, thus enabling the water to pass through the openings 9 as well as through the opening 11. The supply of water through the exit b is thus rendered constant, and independent of fluctuations of pressure in the supply tank. A strainer is shown at 5.

Granted: 1909-06-24
Abstract: 6105. Hay, J. G. March 13. Locking while standing.-The driver's licence or equivalent plate is inserted in a closed casing to complete the circuit of the ignition apparatus of a motor road vehicle and can be removed to prevent the motor from being started by unauthorized persons when the vehicle is unattended. Figs. 1 and 6 show a box a which is suitably mounted on the vehicle and provided with two pairs of spring contacts c, c<1>, e, e<1> for the battery and magneto ignition circuits respectively. The lid of the box is provided with spring plates g, h, which, when the driver's licence or equivalent card or plate i is inserted in the box, press the contacts c, c<1> together and separate the contacts e, e'. The contacts c, c<1> complete the battery circuit, and the contacts e, e<1> cut out the short-circuit of the magneto. Thus by removing the plate i and locking the box by means of the lock b<2>, unauthorized starting of the motor is prevented. Fig. 9 shows one arrangement of circuits for use with the Eisemann or Simms-Bosch system of magneto ignition. The short-circuiting wires e<2>, e<3> pass from the magneto to the terminals e, e<1>, and the battery wires pass to the terminals c, c<1>. The contacts c<1>, e' are preferably connected by a lead c<4>. The box may be provided with a single pair of contacts for cars with only one system of ignition.
