Title: Organohaloborines and the production thereof
Inventor: MCCUSKER PATRICK ALOYSIUS
IPC: C07F5/02
Filed: 1957-03-27
Abstract: Organohaloborines of the formula RnBX3-n are prepared by reacting a compound of the formula RnB(OH)3-n with a boron halide BX3, R being a saturated or aromatic hydrocarbon radical, X being fluorine, chlorine or bromine and n being 1 or 2, with the proviso that when R is aromatic, X is chlorine or bromine.  Compounds of the formula RBF2, wherein R is the cyclohexyl radical or an alkyl radical having from 4 to 6 carbon atoms, are novel.  In examples: (1) boron trifluoride is passed into n-amylboronic acid until no longer absorbed, the two layers formed are separated, the upper layer is again treated with boron trifluoride while heated to boiling, and the distillate collected is redistilled to obtain n-amyldifluoroborine; in a similar manner there are obtained (2) n-butyldifluoroborine from n-butyl boronic acid, (3) n-hexyldifluoroborine from n-hexylboronic acid, (5) cyclohexyl difluoroborine from cyclohexylboronic acid, (6) 2-amyldifluoroborine from 2-amyl boronic acid and (7) t-amyldifluoroborine from t-amyl boronic acid.  In place of boron trifluoride, boron trichloride or boron tribromide may be used. Thus, (4) phenylboronic acid in benzene is reacted with boron trichloride to give phenyldichloroborine.  Other organoboronic and organoborinic acids which may be used are, for example, methylboronic acid, dimethylborinic acid, ethylboronic acid, diethylborinic acid, di-2-sec-amylborinic acid, n-octylboronic acid, di-n-octylborinic acid, 2-ethylhexylboronic acid, di-2-ethylhexylborinic acid, decylboronic acid, didecylborinic acid, docecylboronic acid, didodecylborinic acid, cyclopentylboronic acid, dicyclopentylborinic acid, dicyclohexylborinic acid, the methylcyclopentyl boronic acids, the di-(methylcyclopentyl)borinic acids, diphenylborinic acid, p-tolylboronic acid, di-p-tolyl borinic acid, the xylyl-boronic acids, the di-xylyl-borinic acids, p-ethylphenylboronic acid, di-p-ethyl-phenylborinic acid, naphthylboronic acid and dinaphthyl borinic acid.

Title: Improvements relating to retractable undercarriages for aircraft
IPC: B64C25/12
Filed: 1939-03-31
Abstract: 527,110. Aircraft landing gear. DOWTY, G. H. March 31, 1939, No. 10139. [Class 4] In a retractable landing gear for aircraft of the kind in which a leg has resilient mounting means extending from it comprising a pivoted lever or deformable frame carrying the wheel or other landing element controlled by a shock absorber, the landing element and its resilient mounting are movable relative to the leg during retraction in order to reduce the stowage space required. Examples of such resilient mountings are described in Specifications 473,756, 473,768, 517,370, 517,373, 517,380, 517,724, 521,219 and 522,833. In one form a leg 6 carries a pivoted arm 17 supporting a wheel axle 18, and a lug 20 on the lever is connected by a shock absorber 23 to one end of a link 24 pivoted to the leg, the link and shock absorber normally being in alignment. The junction 22 of the shock absorber and link is connected by a rod 30 to another rod 8, guided within the leg 6 by blocks 9, 10, and the upper end of the rod 8 is connected by a link 12 to a fixed pin 14 laterally offset from the retraction pivot 7 of the leg. As the leg is retracted the link 12 forces the rod 8 downwards, and by shortening the toggle formed by the links 24 and the shock absorber, raises the arm 17. A stop 26 on the link 24 ensures that no landing shocks are transmitted to the rod 30 when in the normal position, and another stop 27 on the arm 17, limits the downward movement of the arm. In a modification, the wheel is carried by a lever connected at a point near its pivot to a shock absorber extending through the leg to a link pivoted to a vertically offset pivot on the aircraft. In this case the link raises the shock absorber during retraction and with it the wheel-carrying lever.
