Abstract: The front part (1) of the spectacle frame carries a body (10) embedded in synthetic resin, the body containing a spring (14) and a ball (15) and having legs (11) to form a hinge part. The other hinge part is solid with the arm (2) and carries a cam shape (7) provided with notches (8 and 9) for defining the folded and normal opening positions. A spacing (22) facing the front end of the arm makes it possible to unfold the latter beyond.

Abstract: Acyloxybenzenesulfonic acids and their alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts are prepared by sulfonation of phenol in the presence of a small amount of a complexing agent for the sulfonating agent SO.sub.3 or chlorosulfonic acid, followed by esterification and, if required, neutralization to give the alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt.

Abstract: Acyloxybenzenesulfonic acids and their alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts are prepared by a process comprising sulfonation of a phenyl ester in the presence or absence of a small amount of a complexing agent for the sulfonating agent SO.sub.3 or chlorosulfonic acid, subsequent acylation and, if desired, neutralization to give the alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt, and, if required, subjecting the latter to oxidative bleaching before drying.

Abstract: Alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts of acyloxybenzenesulfonic acids of the formula I ##STR1## where R is a saturated or unsaturated alkyl radical of 1 to 17 carbon atoms or is phenyl which is unsubstituted or monosubstituted or disubstituted by alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, halogen, methoxy or nitro, are prepared by neutralization, by a method in which a liquid acyloxybenzenesulfonic acid of the formula I and an aqueous solution of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide, carbonate or bicarbonate are combined in water, at from 0.degree. to 60.degree. C. and while mixing thoroughly, so that the pH is kept at from 2.5 to 7.0, and, if desired, the resulting salt is isolated from the aqueous solution in a conventional manner.

Abstract: Sludges are flocculated by the addition of a polymer which is prepared by the homopolymerization of N-vinylformamide in the presence of a free-radical polymerization initiator to give a poly-N-vinylformamide, followed by hydrolysis of from 10 to 90% of the formyl groups in the poly-N-vinylformamide.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of an aminoalkyl half-ester of sulfuric acid by simultaneously adding an aminoalkanol and sulfuric acid to a suspending medium, boiling at 70.degree.-150.degree. C., with vigorous mixing, distilling off the water formed during the reaction, and any water introduced with the starting materials, together with a part of the suspending medium, as an azeotrope, separating off the water from the condensed azeotrope and recycling the suspending medium, as a gas, to the reaction mixture.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of polyalkylenepolyamines by reacting a primary or secondary amine with a compound of the formula ##STR1## where X is --Cl, --Br, or --OSO.sub.3 H and R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are H or saturated alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and with at least the stoichiometric amount, based on the compound of the formula I, of an aqueous solution, of from 15 to 45 percent strength, of an alkali metal hydroxide or alkaline earth metal hydroxide, at from 60.degree. to 200.degree. C., cooling the reaction mixture to a temperature at which 2 aqueous phases form, and separating off the upper phase, containing polyalkylenepolyamnines. The rate of reaction can be increased by adding catalytic amounts of compounds which initiate the polymerization of alkyleneimines.
