Abstract: A ready to assemble modular article of furniture includes a plurality of panels adapted to be assembled without the use of tools. A plurality of fittings are adapted for securing the plurality of panels in assembled relationship, each of the fittings including a first component and a second component. At least a first one of the panels having a surface supporting at least one of the first components. At least a second one of the panels having a surface supporting at least one of the second components. The first and second panels are arrangeable in transverse relationship with the first and second components in alignment with each other, whereby manipulation of the first component without the use of tools causes the first component to engage the second component thereby securing the first and second panels together in transverse relationship.

Abstract: Nitrophenyl alkyl ethers can be advantageously prepared by reacting a nitrophenol with an alkyl halide in water as the reaction medium in such a manner that the nitrophenol is laid before with the water and the alkyl halide and a hydrogen halide-binding compound are then added simultaneously.

Abstract: The partly known blue dyestuffs of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 denotes hydrogen, alkyl, aralkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl or aryl,R.sub.2 denotes hydrogen or alkyl,Me.sup.(+) denotes a cation andn denotes 1 or 2,are highly suitable for the trichromatic dyeing of polyamide fibre materials, producing level dyeings thereon with a good standard of fastness.
