Abstract: 322,008. Imray, O. Y., (I. G. Farbenindustrie Akt.-Ges.). Sept. 3, 1928. Anthraquinone vat dyes or their leuco-compounds are prepared by treating a N-alkylpyrazolanthrone (Specification 264,503) substituted in the 2-position by a halogen, sulphonic acid or mercapto group with an alkaline or neutral reducing agent. The substituent in the 2-position appears to be split off and a bimolecular product formed which is generally a leuco derivative and may thus be used immediately for dyeing processes. Reducing agents used in examples are hydrosulphite, alcoholic sodium sulphide, zinc dust and caustic soda, and magnesium, ammonium chloride and methyl alcohol, and products are prepared from substituted N-methyl and ethylpyrazolanthrones dyeing cotton in red shades from a blue vat. They are identical with the products described in Specifications 14103/15 and 263,494. 2-Halogen N-alkylpyrazolanthrone are prepared by treating the N-alkylpyrazolanthrones with a halogenating agent. The 2-chloro-N-methyl- and 2-bromo-N-ethylpyrazolanthrones are described. 2-Mercapto-N-methylpyrazolanthrone is prepared from the corresponding 2-chloro derivative by treating with sodium sulphide. The 2-methylthioether is prepared by methylating the sodium salt of this mercapto derivative. N-Alkylpyrazolanthrone-2-sulphonic acids are prepared by sulphonating the N-alkylpyrazolanthrones with oleum.

Title: Improved manufacture of floor coverings
IPC: D06N7/00
Filed: 1927-09-26
Abstract: 283,947. Armstrong Cork Co., (Assignees of Humphreys, C. F., and McCarthy, J. C.). Jan. 22, 1927, [Convention date]. Right to Patent relinquished. Single coatings; ornamenting.-The surface of plain, jaspe or granite linoleum is ornamented by forming a depressed pattern on the surface, and thus modifying the surface texture of the indented portions. Decorations may be printed on the undepressed parts. A sheet of linoleum 1, comprising a backing with a layer of linoleum mix consisting of ground cork, wood flour, and linseed oil, is indented with a pattern by means of a ribbed embossing plate. A tile pattern, for instance, is produced by depressing the grooves 4 representing mortar joints between tiles 5. The lino may first be consolidated into a smooth sheet and then embossed, or the depressions may be formed during the consolidating operation by a roller or plate. When the embossing is effected after consolidation, the surface of the indented parts acquires a texture or finish different from that of the undepressed parts, being rougher than the calendered surface of the latter. This gives the effect of different colours. The depressions are preferably formed before the linoleum is cured. The unindented parts may be decorated with printed patterns 6. The invention may also be applied to linoleum such as jaspe or granite linoleum made from intermingled mixes of different shades.
