Abstract: Invention is a novelty device where a molded polycarbonate miniature football helmet body with a hole in top and bracketry beneath hole for maintaining beverage container; replica facemask, chin strap, buckle-snaps, foam padding, brace-clips, snaps, professional or collegiate team decals, and insulated/freezable beverage holder are assembled to provide a mechanism for consuming beverage from a can/bottle held in place by the insertion of can/bottle through said hole in top of helmet body and captured by insulated/freezable beverage holder where temperature of beverage can be maintained and device owner can place helmet/beverage assembly on a surface or hold device by facemask while consuming beverage from helmet/beverage assembly. One thing that makes invention unique is it provides an insulated/freezable beverage holder mounted inside of a scaled replica football helmet with detailed color and graphics depicting the owner's favorite professional or collegiate team.

Abstract: A new dye based upon N-alkylated or N-hydroxyalkylated 8-amino-1-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid and 4,4'-diaminostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid, a procedure for synthesizing it and a procedure for utilizing it for coloring cellulosic substrates is disclosed. The naphthol compound is alkylated or hydroxyalkylated and coupled with the isolated tetrazonium salt of the diamine, and in a preferable embodiment sufficient of the sulfonic acid groups are neutralized to render the final dye water soluble. The procedure is preferably conducted in aqueous medium, and the substitution of the amino group of the naphthol compound is preferably effected with lower dialkyl sulfates or epoxides. The dye is particularly suitable for dyeing paper.

Abstract: An improved aqueous-organic solvent solution, having a pH between 10 and 13, of the disazo dye ##STR1## wherein X is a cation, preferably the sodium or lithium cation, having therein a combination ofI. 0.1% to 10%, by total weight, of a particular anionic surfactant, andIi. 0.1% to 10.0%, by total weight, of a particular nonionic surfactant.

Abstract: Improved concentrated dye solutions comprising anionic monosulfonated anthraquinone dye, the cations including alkanolammonium cations, in a mixed solvent of water and an inert organic cosolvent, the improvement comprising the addition thereto of about 0.03 to 0.20 part by weight, per part of dye of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, or N-hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetic acid, said dye solution containing no more than about 0.2 percent, based on total solution weight, of cations other than alkanolammonium cations.

Abstract: A hard water-tolerant, storage stable dye solution which comprisesA. about 10 to 25 percent of a dye of the formula ##SPC1##wherein M is a solubilizing cation and R is --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OH, --CH.sub.2 CH(CH.sub.3)OH or --CH.sub.2 CH(C.sub.2 H.sub.5)OH,b. about 5 to 25 percent of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone,C. about 0.02 to 0.3 part of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid anion per part of said dye,D. lithium and/or akanolammonium cations in an amount sufficient to provide a pH of about 6.5 to 12, andE. at least about 50 percent water.

Abstract: An improved aqueous-organic solvent solution, having a pH between 10 and 13, of the disazo dye ##SPC1##Wherein X is a cation, preferably the sodium or lithium cation, the improvement comprising the presence, in combination, ofI. 0.1% to 10%, by total weight, of a particular anionic surfactant, andIi. 0.1% to 3.0%, by total weight, of a particular nonionic surfactant.
