Abstract: A thermal recording sheet which is satisfactory in sensitivity in color development, background heat resistance, and background color, is free from powdering, and has excellent image retention. The sheet comprises supporting and formed thereon a thermal color development layer containing as main components a colorless or light-colored basic dye and an organic color developer, and is characterized in that the thermal color development layer contains at least one dihydroxydiphenyl sulfone compound represented by general formula (1) as the organic color developer, and further contains either at least one saturated fatty acid monoamide represented by general formula (2) in an amount of 1.5 to 5 parts per part of the organic color developer or a combination of at least one saturated fatty acid monoamide represented by general formula (2) and at least one diphenyl sulfone derivative represented by the general formula (3).

Abstract: A thermally sensitive recording medium which has thermally sensitive recording layer containing colorless or pale colored basic leuco dye and organic color developer as main components on a substrate, wherein said thermally sensitive recording layer contains diphenylsulfone bridgeable type compound represented by general formula (1) and at least one compound represented by general formula (1). In general formula (2), X and Y can be different and indicates a saturated or an unsaturated liner or grafted hydrocarbon group of carbon number 1-12 which can possess ether bond, or indicates wherein R indicates a methylene group or an ethylene group, T indicates a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group of carbon number 1-4, and R1-R6 independently indicate a halogen atom, an alkyl group of carbon number 1-6, or an alkenyl group, further, m, n, p, q, r, t indicate an integer number of 0-4 and when are bigger than 2, R1-R6 can be different, and a is an integer of 0-10.

The color difference a* value of developed image of said thermally sensitive recording medium regulated by JIS-Z-8729 is within the region of 0˜40 and b* value is within the region of 0˜55.

Abstract: The thermally sensitive recording medium having sufficient color developing density and develops navy blue or grayish blue color. The color difference L* value a* value and b* value of developed image of said thermally sensitive recording medium regulated by JIS-Z-8729 are within the regions of, A. L* value is 30˜50, a* value is −15˜0 and b* value is −30˜10, B. L* value is 30˜50, a* value is 0˜10 and b* value is −30˜0 or C. L* value is 30˜50, a* value is 10˜20 and b* value is −30˜15.

Abstract: A thermally sensitive recording medium having sufficient color developing density and which develops russet or wine red color. The recording medium incorporates a dye precursor which includes at least one red color developing leuco dye having a maximum absorption wavelength of 480 to 570 nm and at least one black color developing leuco dye with maximum absorption wavelengths at 420 to 480 nm and 550 to 640 nm. The color difference a* value of developed image of said thermally sensitive recording medium, measured according to JIS-Z-8729 is within the region of 0 to 50 and b* value is within the region of −15 to 10.

Abstract: A brush for pets, such as dogs, cats, etc., according to the present invention may be used as a tool for trimming the hair of pets or used for the purpose of obtaining such effect as keeping cleanness of pets by cleaning dust or scurf or dandruff adhered on the hair or skin of pets, or as improving health of pets by massaging the skin of pets to facilitate circulation of blood or depilating to forcibly remove useless hairs or any parasites.

Abstract: A heat-sensitive recording sheet comprising both calcium monobenzyl phthalate as stabilizer and 4-isopropoxy-4'-hydroxy diphenylsulfone and/or 4-methyl-4'-hydroxy diphenylsulfone as organic developer in heat-sensitive layer which comprises a basic colorless dyestuff and an organic developer. This heat-sensitive recording sheet provides the improved stability of developed color image against sticking of hair tonics and oils, etc.

Abstract: Heat-sensitive recording sheet comprising a base sheet and a color-forming layer including a colorless basic dyestuff and an organic color-developing agent, wherein said color-forming layer comprises a metal derivative of phthalic acid monoester (having a particular formula). The sheet provides superior stability against contamination with oily substances while keeping excellent fundamental qualities thereof.
