Abstract: 2032. Crocker, J. R. Jan. 26. Caustic soda, obtaining; cells; diaphragms; electrodes; removing deposits from surfaces.- In an apparatus applicable for obtaining caustic soda from salt, the cathode is on a diaphram through which the product permeates to a collecting-chamber wherein it is concentrated, by means such as spraying steam-pipes, which supply steam to and remove the product from the diaphragm. The diaphragm may consist of asbestos cloth impregnated in a special manner with zinc oxide, litharge, sodium silicate, and ferric oxide, the treated side being in contact with a sheet of asbestos paper upon a backing of heavy wire-gauze forming the cathode. In the form shown, two such diaphragm-cathodes 9 form a trough within a metal cell acting as a terminal, the diaphragms resting against inclined ribs 29 on the cell and having their ends embedded in concrete. Collecting-pockets at the bottom of the spaces behind the diaphragms contain steam - pipes 6, which may spray superheated steam to assist in concentrating the caustic soda &c. and removing it from the diaphragms. An anode having two inclined working faces 14 of carbon, with cement between them, is supported on a block of slate, porcelain, &c. between the diaphragms, leaving tapering spaces for the electrolyte. Chlorine escapes up the faces of the anode to a gas-chamber 31 with a hole 28 in the cover; other gases escape by holes 25 behind the diaphragms. Connexion is made to the anode slabs through central spiders having arms 16 attached to the slabs by screwed pins, which are inserted from the outside through holes subsequently plugged with carbon. The spiders are protected by insulating-sleeves 20, and may be slotted at the top to receive a connector-bar.

A number of concentric working-chambers are formed in a casing C by annular flanges C<1> connected by a wall C<2>, Fig. 3. A slot D<3> in the annular flanges D<2> of a piston D, Fig. 4, engages this wall, but actual contact therewith is prevented by providing the piston with a pin G<3> and block G<1> sliding in a guide in the cover E. Inlet passages C<5> for all the working chambers are provided on one side of the wall C<2>, and outlet passages C<6> on the other side. The chambers may be connected to work in series, or different chambers may be employed for pumping simultaneously different fluids, or one chamber may operate as a motor for driving the pistons of the other pump chambers. The piston is given a gyratory motion by mounting it on an eccentric extension F<3> of a shaft F through the medium of an eccentric bush F<4>, which is adjustable in position from the outside of the machine by the bolt F<5>. Oil for balancing, packing, and lubricating is supplied under the the pressure of the working-fluid to the top side of the piston through an inlet H, the pressure being regulated to balance the pressure of the working-fluid on the other side of the piston by an arrangement of pipes, valves, and a pressure gauge. In a modification, the shaft F is horiozntal, and a spring-pressed sleeve is fitted inside the piston recess D<4> to form a yielding connexion with the bush F<4>. A water-cooling passage C' is formed in the casing C.

Abstract: 14,537. Burgess, C. F. June 20. Alloys. - A material employed for coating metal consists of a granular alloy of approximately the composition FeZn10, which may also contain lead, and which has been enriched with additional zinc by adding zinc or zinc dross to the granular alloy while this is heated in a rotary container. The granular alloy is first made either by adding iron to molten zinc dross, as described in Specification 5811/11, or, preferably, by heating lumps of zinc dross and small pieces of iron together to a red heat in a rotary drum. After repeated use of the coating-material, it may be replenished with zinc, without interrupting the coating-process, by adding pieces of scrap zinc or zinc dross when the charge of articles to be coated is being added to the drum. The zinc dross is stated to be composed of approximately 3 to 7 per cent of iron, 85 to 95 per cent of zinc, and 2 to 5 per cent of lead.

Abstract: 29,039. Fairfax, H. W. Gabbett-. Dec. 23. Movable-abutment type; working-fluid supply.-A rotary engine or pump having a rotor with a toothed concave periphery, the teeth of which engage with apertures of rotating abutments, has its rotor so constructed as to act as its own distributing-valve. For internalcombustion working, two rotors 1, 2 may be employed, the mixture being introduced between the teeth b and abutments a of the first rotor and therein compressed, the rotation subsequently uncovering a port c in a fixed partition d. The mixture thereby passes behind a tooth a<1> of the rotor 2, and is therein fired, subsequent expansion opening exhaust ports e through which the products pass and are mechanically scavenged. One rotor only may be used, in which case passages lead from the front of the teeth to fixed pockets which have passages leading behind the teeth, these latter passages being opened after rotation of the rotor. Air only may be compressed and mixed with over-rich mixture in the transfer partition, and owing to the arrangement of the ports the engine may be reversed; it may also be used as a pump.
