Abstract: 22,546. Hopkins, J. H., and Stansfield, A.M. Sept.29. [Cognate Application, 6325/11.] Liquid - pressure engines. - In an hydraulically - actuated air - pumping apparatus, two bell pumps h are reciprocated by means of hydraulic cylinders which are alternately filled and exhausted through pipes e and a fourway valve b. The reversal of the valve b is effected by the motion of the bells h, through a lever x and wheels z, a<2>. The motion of the valve b is quickly completed by means of a weighted lever e<2> provided with pegs f<2> adapted to be engaged by pegs b<2> on the wheel a<2> and to engage pegs e<1> on a wheel c fixed to the plug of the valve b. The wheel c has a portion cut away to form two stops engaging with a fixed stop d<1> on the valve casing. Air is drawn into the bells h through pipes k, and is forced out through pipes m. In a modification, the pair of bell pumps is replaced by a double-acting horizontal piston pump having hollow piston-rods which form hydraulic cylinders, the rotation of the four-way valve being effected by a toothed wheel and a reciprocating rack, and the cylinder ends being provided with spring-controlled admission and discharge valves.

Abstract: 27,804. Speakman, C. W. Nov. 29, 1909, [Convention date]. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Insulators, particularly for use in mines, are constructed with an anchoring-element 1 having a water-conducting groove 7 and with an insulating body 8 having a cavity 9 for collecting water, this cavity being connected to the water channel 7. The body 8 is made with a conductor-holding device 11 wherein the conductor is secured by a binding-wire, itself engaged in the groove 10, and the body 8 is held on the stem 1 against the shoulder 4<a> by a wedgepiece 14 passing through a slot 6 in the stem. Depending projections 15 on the body 8 engage the wedge and prevent the body from turning on the stem. The stem is slotted as at 2, bevelled at the top, and carries projections 3 on its surface to augment the anchoring effect; the end 5 is reduced to prevent it from expanding by riveting-over when the stem is being driven home.

Abstract: 12,771. Matthews, F. E., Strange, E. H., and Bliss, H. J. W. May 30. Butadiene and its homologues; dihalogenparaffins; chlorhydrins; monochlorolefines.-Butadiene and its homologues are prepared by directly dehydrating olefine oxides, for example by heat with or without a catalyst, or by halogenating olefine oxides with halogenhydride, phosphorus halide, &c. and then removing two molecular proportions of halogenhydride or by forming a chlorhydrin, for example from a glycol by means of hydrochloric acid, dehydrating the compound, and finally removing one molecular proportion of hydrochloric acid from the chlorolefine obtained. Halogenhydride may be removed from the above compounds by means of catalysts or alkali, a formate, a carbonate, quinoline, lime, &c. or by heat alone. In one example a dichloride obtained from trimethylethyleneoxide and hydrochloric acid is passed over heated lime giving isoprene. In a second example butylene oxide is dehydrated by passing it over heated phosphoric acid, and in a third example dimethylethylene chlorhydrin is dehydrated and then passed over heated lime. At a high temperature, a quantity of butadiene is formed during the dehydrating process. Butylene oxide is prepared by the action of caustic potash upon the corresponding chlorhydrin. Specifications 3873/12 and 12,770/12 are referred to.
