Abstract: Novel sulfonated quinolone compounds used in the preparation of fiber reactive dyes having the formula: ##STR1## being N-alkyl substituted-4-hydroxy-6-sulfo-2-quinolone. The alkyl group bonded to the nitrogen in the quinolone has from 1 to 4 carbon atoms which may be further substituted by an hydroxy, amino, or sulfo group. The compounds of the invention may be prepared by the sulfonation of an N-alkyl substituted-4-hydroxy-2-quinolones, ##STR2## followed by selective desulfonation to yield the compounds of interest. New monoazo fiber reactive dyes having the formulas: ##STR3## and their metal complexes, may be prepared from these sulfonated compounds by the diazotization of an amine component, selected from an unsubstituted, or a substituted benzene or naphthalene compound, containing a fiber reactive group, and coupling the diazo component to the compounds of the invention.

Abstract: An automatic dump bucket has a bail which can rest in an inclined position or a vertical position, the bail of the dump bucket pivotable about pivot pins that are not secured to the side wall of the bucket but which are disposed in a bore in a pivot pin support plate on the side wall of the bucket, in a pivot pin aperture in a side wall of an enclosure bracket and trapped by a pivot pin locking plate. The pivot pin and bail contact area can be lubricated by forcing a lubricant through an opening in the pivot pin locking plate and a passageway formed in the pivot pin. The dump bucket also has fork lift channels and roll-over blocking channels and, when dumped, assumes a position beyond a parallel position with the bail.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of isomerically pure sulfonic acids of 2-aminonaphthalenes having a fiber reactive substituent of the formula --(SO.sub.2 X) wherein X is --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --Z and Z is a substituent such as thiosulfato, phosphato or sulfato. The process comprises a first step of acylating the amino group of the substituted 2-aminonaphthalene to form a N-acyl derivative of the formula, R--CO--NH--A--SO.sub.2 X wherein A represents a naphthalene nucleus. The N-acyl derivative is then sulfonated to provide an essentially isomerically pure sulfonic acid derivative of the formula R--CO--NH--A(--SO.sub.2 X, --SO.sub.3 H). Depending upon the position of the --SO.sub.2 X group in the starting material, the sulfonation reaction product will have one of the following isomeric ring positions for the sulfonyl and sulfo groups, respectively; 5:7 or 7:5 or 6:8 or 8:6.
