  • Patent number: 7122676
    Abstract: A process for preparing 5,5?-bi-1H-tetrazolediammonium salts (BHT.2NH3) maintaining a high yield through oxaldiimidic acid dihydrazide (OAH) from the starting materials which are cheaply available and are easy to handle. The 5,5?-bi-1H-tetrazolediammonium salts (BHT.2NH3) are prepared by dissolving the oxaldiimidic acid dihydrazide (OAH) obtained by the reaction of hydrated hydrazide with dicyan in an aqueous solution of a weakly acidic compound such as acetic acid, dropwisely adding an aqueous solution of sodium nitrite thereto to form an azide thereof and to effect the cyclization reaction by heating, adding an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide to the reaction product to convert it into a 5,5?-bi-1H-tetrazoledisodium salt (BHT.2Na), reacting it with an aqueous solution of ammonium chloride, and recovering the formed ammonium salt as sparingly soluble crystals.

  • Patent number: 6156906
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of a 5,5'-bi-1H-tetrazole diammonium salt by dropwisely adding the aqueous hydrogen peroxide to which a small amount of weakly acidic substance has been added, to a starting aqueous solution containing hydrogen cyanide or sodium cyanide or potassium cyanide, sodium azide and a catalytic amount of copper sulfate preferably at a low temperature to maintain the pH of the reaction solution over a range of from 5 to 6, heating the reaction solution to effect the oxidation and cyclization reaction, reacting the reaction product with ammonium chloride or an aqueous solution thereof, and recovering the formed ammonium salt in the form of sparingly soluble crystals. The desired product is obtained in a high yield and in a high purity from the starting materials which are cheaply available and are easy to handle through a decreased number of steps, i.e., through a one-pot reaction without requiring cumbersome after-treatment.

  • Patent number: 6140723
    Abstract: An oral hygiene device comprises a rotating body 22 mounted to a rotating shaft 21 of an electric motor 14, an output shaft 11 resiliently supported via a resonance pin 25 to be swingable finely, a drive magnetic body 23 provided on the rotating body 22, and a driven magnetic body 31 provided on the output shaft 11 to face the drive magnetic body 23 so as to be out of contact therewith. The drive magnetic body 23 and the driven magnetic body 31 are composed of permanent magnets, and as the rotating body 22 revolves, a varying magnetic field is generated between the both magnetic bodies 23, 31 to cause vibration of the output shaft 11 at high speed. In this manner, there are provided a vibration generating device, which can be manufactured at low cost and efficiently transmits vibration, and an oral hygiene device using the same.

  • Patent number: 6040453
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of a 5,5'-bi-1H-tetrazole diammonium salt by using dicyan, sodium azide, ammonium chloride and water as a reaction medium. This process is industrially advantageous since the 5,5'-bi-1H-tetrazole diammonium salt is synthesized and, then, the precipitated crystals thereof are simply isolated by filtration to obtain the 5,5'-bi-1H-tetrazole diammonium salt maintaining an yield which is not lower than 90%. The 5,5'-bi-1H-tetrazole diammonium salt is a gas-generating agent for air bags, which is lowly toxic and is easy to handle.
