Abstract: 728,409. Moulding soil pots. VALLEY NURSERIES, Ltd. Jan. 22, 1954 [Jan. 23, 1953], No. 2040/53. Class 87 (2). In a machine for moulding soil pots of the type having a mould with a core and plunger the core is designed to leave the surface of the recess unglazed on ejection of the pot thus enabling roots to penetrate the walls of the recess. In one embodiment, the machine comprises a hollow mould 1 which has a core 6 therein fixed to a cross-bar 7, Fig. 3, the core being adjustable as regards its penetration into the mould by means of threaded stem 8 and nut 9. Surrounding the core is a plunger 21 supported by piston-rods 23 mounted on cross-bar 24 and guided by slots 3, which is operated by pedal lever 26 via link 27. The mould cover comprises a plate 15, having an upstanding flange 19 for clearing soil away from the top of the mould and operated by a handle 17. In operation, the cover 15 is moved aside, the mould filled with earth or compost and the cover replaced and locked. The pedal lever 26 is then depressed so that the plunger 21 compresses the soil around the core but not that adjacent the end of the core forming the bottom of the pot recess: The cover is again opened and the pedal further operated to eject the soil pot during which operation the walls of the recess are grooved as they pass studs 14 on washer 11 which is fixed to the end of core 6 and is of slightly larger diameter than the core. In a modification for making several pots simultaneously, Fig. 4, moulds are fixed to a turntable 32 rotated by wheel 41 via bevel gear 42 and co-operate with apertures in plate 43 for filling the mould and ejection of the pot. Plunger 21 is moved by cam follower 38 running on cam 39 and is returned by spring 47. The cam may be made in two parts so that one part may be changed to suit different soils.

Title: Water-soluble, metal-containing reactive disazo dyes
Inventor: SCHWEIZER AUGUST
IPC: C09B62/01
Filed: 1962-01-23
Abstract: The invention comprises water-soluble, metal containing reactive disazo dyes which in the metal-free state correspond to the formula <FORM:0995253/C4-C5/1> wherein A represents a radical of the benzene or naphthalene series which besides sulphonic acid groups may contain other substituents, B represents the radical of a coupling component of the pyrazolone, benzene or naphthalene series which contains the hydroxy group in the adjacent position to the azo group and may contain further substituents, R represents an organic radical which contains at least one substituent capable of reacting with fibres bearing hydroxyl and/or amino groups with formation of a chemical covalent linkage between the dyestuff and the fibre and n represents one of the integers 1, 2 or 3 and wherein the nucleus C may contain further substituents.  The dyes are prepared by conventional diazotization, coupling and metallizing procedures the group R being introduced by reaction of a compound of the formula R-Hal with an amino group in the intermediate dyestuff, before or after metallization.  Alternatively the group R may be present in an appropriate coupling component. Where necessary the metallization may be carried out under dealkylating conditions. In examples, a violet dye is obtained by diazotizing the dye 2-(31-amino-41-hydroxyphenylazo) - naphthalene - 4,8 - disulphonic acid and coupling with 1-amino-8-hydroxy-naphthalene - 3,6 - disulphonic acid, reacting the product with copper sulphate and then 2,4,5, 6 - tetrachlorpyrimidine (1); and 1 - (31-acetylamino - 41 - hydroxyphenyl azo) - naphthalene - 4,6 - disulphonic acid is methylated and hydrolysed, the 1-(31-amino-41-methoxyphenyl azo) - naphthalene - 4,6 - disulphonic acid obtained is diazotized and coupled with 1-(41 - amino - 21 - sulphophenyl) - 3 - methyl - 5-pyrazolone, the product is metallized with ammoniacal copper sulphate solution and reacted with cyanuric chloride (4). Additional metals specified in examples include cobalt, nickel and chromium. Among the many acylating agents specified are 2-(31-sulphophenylamino) 4,6 - dichloro - 1:3:5 - triazine, 2:4:6-trichloropyrimidine, chlor - and bromacetyl chlorides, 2:4:6-trichloro-5-carboxy-methylpyrimidine, 2 - methylamino - 4,6 - dichloro - 1,3,5 - triazine, a  - chloro - and a -bromacrylyl chloride, b  - bromopropionyl chloride, g -chlorotonyl chloride, a ,b -dibromacrylyl chloride and 2-(21,51-disulphophenylamino) - 4,6 - dichloro - 1:3:5 - triazine. Many further examples are furnished and starting materials specified.  The dyes are particularly suitable for dyeing leather, dyeing, printing or padding fibres of animal origin e.g. wool and silk, synthetic polyamide fibres e.g. nylon, cellulosic fibres e.g. cotton and linen and regenerated cellulosic fibres.  The colouring of cellulosic fibres may be carried out in an alkaline medium.
