Abstract: A road sign mounting apparatus for displaying a road sign attached to a mounting bracket. The road sign mounting apparatus is adapted for being carried by a circular base having an open interior and a rim, and an upper profile and lower profile. The road sign mounting apparatus comprises a body and a plurality of legs carried by and extending outward from the body. Each of the plurality of legs is intended for being carried by the circular base. A road sign support is pivotally carried by the body and has a first position wherein the road sign support is carried beneath the upper profile of the circular base when carried by the circular base and a second position wherein the road sign support extends in a general vertical direction intersecting the plane defined by the upper profile of the circular base. The road sign support includes a locking mechanism for locking the road sign support in the second position. The road sign mounting apparatus may be carried by a tire having reflective surface.

Abstract: A method is provided for modifying foam in an aqueous surfactant composition. The method comprises admixing with the aqueous surfactant composition a foam modifying amount of a composition of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is: (a) a branched or linear alkyl of 20 to 28 carbon atoms; or(b) ##STR2## wherein n is 9-16 and R.sub.1 is a branched or linear alkyl of 3 to 22 carbon atoms.Certain of these benzoate esters are novel, in particular: ##STR3## wherein R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are each, independently, an alkyl of 4 to 16 carbon atoms, and the total number of carbon atoms in R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 is at least 12 carbon atoms. Preferably, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are each C.sub.8 H.sub.17, i.e. octyldodecyl benzoate ester.Additional novel benzoate esters used as foam enhancers have the formula: ##STR4## wherein n is 12 to 16 and R.sub.1 is a branched or linear alkyl of 3 to 22 carbon atoms. Particularly preferred esters are when n is 14, R.sub.1 is C.sub.18 H.sub.37 and R.sub.1 is C.sub.4 H.sub.9.

Abstract: A cationic surfactant composition is disclosed which is compatible with anionic surfactants, and which when added thereto provides a system for use in simultaneous cleansing and conditioning of hair, textiles and the like. The cationic surfactant composition comprises a mixture of the diethyl sulfate salts of the cyanoethylated fatty acid amides ##STR1## where R is an unbranched hydrocarbon chain including from 17 to 21 carbon atoms.
