  • Patent number: 5041539
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of concentrated storage-stable aqueous solutions of yellow azo- and azoxystilbene dyes which are obtained by self-condensation of 4-nitrotoluene-2-sulfonic acid in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide, by converting the sparingly soluble alkali metal salt of the dye into a water-soluble ammonium salt by double cation exchange via a lipophilic ammonium salt, which process comprises carrying out the double ion exchange in a two-phase system of nitrobenzene/water and using, for the first ion exchange a di- or trialkylamine containing a total of 12 to 40 carbon atoms and, for the second ion exchange, a mono-, di- or trialkanolamine containing 2 to 4 carbon atoms in each alkyl moiety.The concentrated storage-stable dye solutions so obtained are particularly suitable for dyeing paper.

  • Patent number: 5016847
    Abstract: An apparatus for supporting an object includes a member having a plurality of connected bent portions. The portions include pair of generally horizontally extending, spaced apart, generally parallel lower legs each having a free end and an opposite end connected a lower end of one of a pair of vertically extending first uprights each connected at an upper end to a generally horizontally extending first cross beam. A pair of generally horizontally extending arms are each connected at one end to one of the first uprights between the upper and lower ends and at an opposite end to a lower end of one of a pair of generally vertically extending second uprights each connected at an upper end to a generally horizontally extending second cross beam. A pair of upper legs each have one end connected to one of the first uprights and extend generally horizontally parallel to and spaced above the lower legs a distance generally corresponding to a thickness of carpet in a vehicle.
