COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to Electric Switch Operating Mechanisms I,
SIDNEY GEOFFREY YOUNG, of 154 Blackfriars Road, London, S E 1, a
British Subject, do hereby declare the invention, for which I pray
that a patent may be granted to me, and the method by which it is to
be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in electric switches of the
type operated by successive unidirectional movements of an actuating
member, and is directed more particularly to switches of the ceiling
type operated by a cord.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a simplified
construction involving fewer than the number of parts usually employed
in such switches, with consequent economies in manufacture and
assembly, while retaining a mechanism both simple and reliable in
operation.
The contact operating mechanism employed in the improved switch is
operated by a pivotally arranged operating member, the exact structure
of such mechanism forming no part of the present invention Preferably,
however, the control mechanism will be of a snap-action type employing
a resilient "snapper" such as is described in one of my prior Patents
Nos 594,114, 654,715, 645,716 and 669,969 The present invention is
concerned with the mechanism whereby the pivoted operating member or

"dolly" is caused to swing back and forth by the actuating member the
movement of which consists of a number of successive substantially
linear movements in the same direction Thus, for example, the
operating dolly is firstly moved to one extreme position, e g to close
a circuit, by a linear movement of the actuating member in a given
direction, usually away from the dolly.
This is followed by a reverse movement of the actuating member back to
its original r Pr Zl Ce 3 s 6 ff-ji QC,;, A, se position, normally as
a result of spring pressure, the dolly remaining unaffected.
Movement of the dolly back to its original position, e g to reopen the
circuit, is then caused by a second movement of the actuating member
in the same direction as the first such movement Finally the actuating
member again returns to its original position without affecting the
position of the dolly and the cycle is completed.
Many mechanisms accomplishing this change of motion from successive
unidirectional movements to reciprocating swinging movements have
already been manufactured, but they have all suffered from complexity
of construction which has led to unreliable operation or high cost of
manufacture.
The present invention provides mechanism in which only three parts are
required to operate the dolly One of these is the actuating member to
which is connected a cord or push-button or other external operating
part depending on whether the switch is to be the pull-pull or
push-push operating type; the second part is a spring arranged to
return the actuating member to its original position after each
operative stroke; and the third part is a swinging link
interconnecting the rectilinearly moving actuating member and the
pivoting dolly.
One form of construction in accordance with the invention is
illustrated in the accompanying drawing by way of example.
In this drawing:Fig 1 shows a central section through a switch of the
"ceiling" type; Fig 2 shows a view of the same switch as Fig 1 taken
on a central section at right angles to that of Fig 1; and Fig 3 shows
a plan view separately of the swinging link used in the switch of
Figs.
1 and 2.
This swinging link 1 takes the form of a 6,6954 786,154 small piece of
stiff material such as sheet metal stamped or otherwise cut out to
provide, essentially, a hook portion 2 adapted to engage in a slot 3
in the dolly 4 and a base portion 5 adapted to be journalled in a
recess 6 or like aperture formed near the end of the actuating member
7 This base portion 5 extends transversley to the longitudinal axis of
the actuating member 7 sufficiently to bear at its ends against the
end coil of a helical spring 8 (constituting the above mentioned

second part), such spring 8 being disposed around the actuating member
7 and advantageously being of low rate As shown, the actuating member
is preferably in the form of a flat elongated piece of stiff material
such as sheet metal having at one end the aforementioned aperture 6
bearing the swinging 0 link 1 and at the other end means for engaging
a cord.
In accordance with a further optional feature of the invention as
described and claimed in my Application No 10044/56 (Serial No
786,155) and best seen in Fig 2, such cord engaging means comprise a
bent portion 9 of the actuating member 7 itself extending at an angle
of about 45 from the main plane of such member and then transversely
to such plane to intersect the same.
A key-hole type slot 10 (Fig 1) is provided in this bent portion 9,
the circular part of the slot being adjacent the unbent part of the
member 7 A cord (not shown) terminating in a knot can then be slipped
into this slot 10, the knot passing through the circular part and
finally being drawn by tension in the cord against the thin portion of
the slot through which it cannot pass The cord will then lie
substantially in a continuation of the plane of the actuating member 7
while its knot bears stably against a surface transverse thereto.
These three parts are housed in a cylindrical housing 11 having a slot
12 along which the actuating member 7 may slide and an inner annular
surface 13 supporting the helical spring 8, this housing 11 being
arranged for connection by screws 14 to the main housing 15 containing
the dolly 4, the snapper 16 and its associated contacts and terminals
A cover 17 is screwed onto the housing 11.
In operation, the actuating member 7 when pulled by the cord transmits
this tractive force to the swinging link 1 through the end portion 18
of itself beyond the aperture 6, such end portion forming in effect a
hook since the aperture is open at one side of the member to enable
the parts to be assembled This tractive force is in turn transmitted
through the hook portion 2 of the swinging link 1 to the dolly 4, the
slot 3 of which has a recess 19 at each end in its surface nearer to
the swinging link and the actuating member As the dolly 4 is swung
from one position to the other, one end of the slot 3 (and therewith
one of the said recesses 19) is brought approximately into register
with the plane along which the O actuating member 7 slides, while the
other end of the slot occupies a position to the side of such plane
and more remote from the actuating member When the snapper 16 is
snapped over, the dispositions of the ends 75 of the slot 3 relative
to the actuating member 7 are effectively reversed Prior to the first
pull on the actuating member 7, the hook 2 of the swinging link 1
engages that recess 19 in the slot 3 of the dolly 4 which 80 is then
"remote" as explained above, i e.

as seen in Fig 1 When the tractive force is then applied through the
hook 2 of the swinging link 1, the remote end of the dolly slot is
thus drawn towards the central plane 85 of the switch, i e that along
which the actuating member slides This results in snapping over the
snapper 16 or other switching mechanism that may be employed, and
reorientation of the dolly 4 in its new 90 position.
The next stage in the operation is release of the actuating member 7
by relaxation of the tension in the cord by which it is pulled.
Return of the actuating member 7 is brought 95 about by the spring 8
acting through the transverse base portion 5 of the swinging link 1 At
first both the swinging link 1 and the actuating member 7 move
rectilinearly, until the hook portion 2 of the swinging link 100 1
bears against the remote surface 20 of the slot 3 in the dolly 4 This
surface 20 is smoothly curved to guide such hook portion 2 along the
slot 3 and in so doing to commence to rotate the swinging link 1 in
its 105 bearing in the aperture 6 in the end of the actuating member
7, such aperture 6 preferably being substantially triangular in shape
as illustrated, to facilitate such action This rotation of the
swinging link 1 inclines the 110 centre lines of such swinging link 1
and the actuating member 7 to each other, until finally the transverse
base portion 5 of the swinging link 1 is in compression transmitting
the force of the spring 8 to the portion 115 18 of the actuating
member 7, is sharply turned sideways like a toggle Its sideways
movement is however limited by the freedom of its hook portion 2 in
the dolly slot 3, and the parts thus come to rest with the 120 plane
of the swinging link 1 inclined at about to the centre line of the
actuating member 7, and the hook portion 2 of such link at the
"remote" end of the dolly slot 3 i e.
as shown in Fig 1 except that the parts are 125 in the reverse
position.
When the actuating member 7 is again pulled to effect reversal of the
switch, such hook portion 2 engages the recess 19 at the "remote" end
of the slot 3 and an operation 130 formed from sheet material to have
a hook portion engaging a slot in the operating member and a base
portion mounted for swinging movement in a cavity at one end of the
actuating member, such base portion extending transversely to engage
the end coil of a helical spring.

transiationai movement is imparrea to mne actuating member and the
switch is operated; wherein the actuating member comprises a rigid
member having a key-hole slot for the reception and engagement of a
knotted end of the cord.
Preferably, in the switch of the invention, that portion of the
actuating member in the 2.5 region of the key-hole slot is so formed
that the reduced portion of the slot extends in a direction transverse
to and intersecting the path of movement of the actuating member.
In the switches of the invention, a knot already tied in the end of a
cord can readily be pressed into or out from the enlarged part of the
key-hole slot in the actuating member and tension applied to the cord
to draw the knot along the reduced portion of the slot wherein it is
firmly engaged As will be appreciated the use of a key-hole slot
avoids the necessity of forming a knot in the end of a flexible cord
after passing such end through a hole in the actuating member to which
it is to be connected.

(not shown) terminating in a knot can be slipped into the slot 10, the
knot passing through the enlarged part and then being drawn by tension
in the cord against the portion 9, being unable to pass through the
reduced portion of the slot 10 in such portion 9 The cord will then be
substantially in a continuation of the plane of the plate 7 with its
knot bearing stably against a surface transverse thereto While the
knot and thus the cord is clearly held securely by the improved
connection against accidental displacement or disconnection, it can
readily be disconnected by slipping the knot back through the enlarged
portion of the slot 10, without the necessity, normally encountered,
of cutting away or untying the knot.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION
Morphine Derivatives, and Processes for producing them We, MERCK & Co,
INC, a corporation duly organised and existing under the laws of the
State of New Jersey, United States of America, of Rahway, New Jersey,
United States of America, do hereby declare the invention, for which
we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it
is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the
following statement: -
This invention relates to morphine derivatives In brief, this
invention provides novel 6-desoxymorphine compounds having an aryl
or lower alkyl substituent attached to the carbon atom in the
6-position of the molecule, and a carboalkoxy or carboaralkoxy group
on the oxygen atom attached to the carbon atom in the 3-position of
the molecule, salts of the said compounds, and processes for preparing
such compounds and removing the 03 substituent from them to produce A
6-desoxymorphine compounds having an aryl or lower alkyl substituent
attached to the 6-carbon atom In the specification of Patent No.
738,207 ( 12826/53), A 6-6-(lower alkyl)-desoxymorphine compounds and
their salts and alkanoyl esters are claimed per se.
In the present specification, the term "lower alkyl " is to be
understood as denoting allyl groups containing not more than 5 carbon
atoms.
The novel compounds of the invention may be represented by one of the
following formulae:
wherein R is an aryl or lower alkyl substituent, R' is carboalkoxy or
carboa 1:alkoxy, and HA is anacn lPrice 3 s g-Are I I The chemical
relationship of the novel compounds to morphine is clear from a
comparison of the foregoing formulae with the 40 structural formula of
morphine which is as follows:
Although the alkaloid morphine has for centuries been known to possess
analgesic activity, the contribution of each and every characteristic
portion of this complex molecule to the analgesic and narcotic
properties is still not fully understood Extensive research has
established the chemical structure of this important narcotic, and has
given some indications as to the effect of certain structural
characteristics on analgesic activity.

There is no way known, however, for predicting the pharmacological
properties of derivatives prepared by introducing new substituents at
various points in the morphine nucleus The 6-alkyl-A
6-desoxymorphines, and their lower alkanoyl esters, and salts, have
been found very much more active than morphine For example, 6-methyl-A
6-desoxymorphine has been found to possess over one hundred times the
analgesic activity possessed by morphine itself Moreover, 6-methyl-AA
6desoxymorphine possesses, in addition to its extremely high potency,
an extraordinary promptness of onset of analgesic action.
An improved synthesis of A'-desoxymorphine compounds having a lower
alkyl or aryl substituent attached to the carbon atom in the
6-position of the molecule was desired, since the processes originally
developed involved prolonged periods of heating at elevated
temperatures and pressures with large excesses of the reactants.
A vastly improved procedure for the preparation of these valuable
compounds has now been developed which greatly increases the yield of
the product and simplifies operation conditions considerably.
Regarded-in certain of its broader aspects, the process of the present
invention involves esterification of the phenolic hydroxyl group of a
6-(lower alkyl) or 6-aryl-dihydromorphine to form an 03-acyl-6-(lower
alkyl)-dihydromorphine or an O'-acyl-6-aryl-dihydromorphine,
dehydration of the ester to produce an 0 '-acyl-6-(lower alkyl)-i; 1
'-desoxymorphine or an O '-acyl-6-aryl-A 6-desoxymorphine compound and
hydrolysis of the latter compound to form the desired 6-(lower
alkyl)-1-desoxymorphine or 6-aryl- -i Y-desoxymorphine This process
can be chemically represented as follows:
Io to 42 t'ff D1 OARP Onv 2 ' El YSS C Ol AMD/N 1 3 Co Mvp M 1 i', 4
where R represents a lower alkyl or aryl radical and R' represents an
acyl radical The first step forms part of the invention claimed in the
specification of our copending application No 6447/57 (Serial No
786,157) The term " acyl " as used throughout the specification and
claims includes the residue of a carboxylic acid, such as acetyl, as
well as carboalkoxy and carboaralkoxy.
An O ' acyl 6 (lower alkyl) dihydromorphine or 0
'-acyl-6-aryl-dihydromorphine, which can be prepared by the method
described and claimed in the specification of our copending
application 6447/57 (Serial No.
786,157), can be dehydrated to form an 0-acyl-6-(lower alkyl)-6
6-desoxymorphine or an O '-acyl-6-aryl-A 6-desoxymorphine by using as
dehydrating agent one of the phosphorus, sulphur, or acyl halides
Example of suitable dehydrating agents include compounds such as
phosphorus tribromide, phosphorus trichloride, thionyl chloride,
thionyl bromide, phosphorus pentachloride, sulphuryl chloride,
sulphuryl bromide and acetyl chloride.

The dehydration reaction can be carried out in solution in pyridine,
water, or organic solvents having no reactive hydrogen atoms.
Pyridine is preferred, and when it is used as solvent, the reaction is
conveniently run at room temperature, although when solvents other
than pyridine are used, slightly higher temperatures are preferred;
for example, when chloroform is employed the mixture is held at reflux
temperature for approximately eighteen hours The temperature and the
length of reaction time are dependent upon each other and on the
choice of solvent It is possible to carry out the reaction between
about room temperature and 1000 C using times of from six to
twenty-four hours.
It is not necessary that the O '-acyl-6-(lower
alkyl)-dihydroi-nrphiine or O-acyl-6-aryl-dihydromorphine be a pure
crystalline material although the best yields are obtained when pure
material is used As an alternative method, the crude 03-acyl-6-(lower
alkyl)dihydromorphine or 0-acyl-6-aryl-dihydromorphine may be treated
with the dehydrating agent without further purification In order to
further simplify the process of this invention it is possible to
esterify the phenolic hydroxyl group and dehydrate at the 6-7
positions without isolation of intermediates by employing a reagent,
such as an acyl halide, e g.
acetyl chloride, which will cause both reactions to take place.
Removal of the acyl group from the O'-acyl-6-(lower
alkyl)--desoxymorphine or 0 '-acyl-6-aryl-A',-desoxymorphine e g by
hydrolysis or alcoholysis, to yield 6-(lower alkyl)-AL
6-desoxymorphine or 6-aryl-A&-desoxymorphine may be carried out using
either acid or alkaline reagents in aqueous, anhydrous organic, or
aqueous organic solvent.
Alkaline hydrolysis may be conducted using alkali or alkaline-earth
metal oxides, hydroxides, alkoxides or carbonates, and acid hydrolysis
may be effected using any of the common mineral acids in dilute
aqueous solution When using an alkali, alcoholysis by 786,156 morphine
was dissolved in 50 mnl of 95 % alcohol and 2 grams of potassium
hydroxide and a small volume of water was added After refluxing the
solution for 30 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere, the p H of the
mixture was adjusted to 9 The alcohol was removed by evaporation in
vacua and the residual 6methyl-A 6-desoxymorphine was extracted into
chloroform The chloroform extract was dried and concentrated in vacuc
The residue was crystallized from ethyl acetate to yield 1 38 grams of
6-methyl-A 6-desoxymorphine having a melting point of 227 -229 C-,
'm"= -221 C ( 1 % absolute alcohol) Recrystallization from the same
solvent raised the melting point to 236-237 C.
EXAMPLE 2.
Preparation of O '-carbomethoxy-6-MethylA-Desoxymorphine.

A mixture of 2 4 g of O '-carbomethoxy6-methyldihydromorphine,
prepared as in Example 1 of specification No 6447/57, 25 ml of
pyridine and 2 ml of thionyl chloride was prepared and allowed to
stand at room temperature for 24 hours The mixture was then decomposed
on ice and the p H adjusted to 8 5 with sodium bicarbonate It was then
extracted with chloroform and the chloroform extract concentrated in
vacua to an oil The oil was then leached with 100 ml of boiling ether,
filtered, and the ethereal filtrate concentrated to give as a solid
product O'-carbomethoxy-6-methyl E-6-desoxymorphine, having a melting
point of 135 -140 C.
heating with alcoholic potassium hydroxide at temperatures below about
1000 C for approximately fifteen minutes is a preferred process It is
preferable to maintain an atmosphere of nittogen during the alkaline
alcoholysis reaction in order to minimize decomposition and achieve
maximum yields The alcoholysis may be carried out between the
temperatures of 25 '-1250 C over a period of from a few minutes to 24
hours.
Dilute acid hydrolysis is the normally preferred procedure since the
acid addition salt of 6-methyl-Z 6-desoxymorphine may be readily
isolated from the reaction mixture and the salt is the preferred form
of the compound for therapeutic administration rather than the free
base Thus, following acid hydrolysis of the O'-acyl-6-(lower
alkyl)-AY-desoxymorphine, the desired acid addition salt of 6(lower
alkyl)-A 6-desoxymorphine may be obtained by concentrating the aqueous
solution and allowing the product to crystallize For example, 6-(lower
alkyl)-A 6-desoxymorphine acid addition salts such as the 6-(lower
alkyl)16-desoxymorphine hydrochloride, 6-(lower
alkyl)-A-desoxymorphine sulfate, 6-(lower alkyl)-AG-desoxymorphine
hydrobromide or 6(lower alkyl)-A 6-desoxymorphine phosphate may be
prepared preferably by contacting the Os acyl 6-(lower alkyl)-/A
0-desoxymorphine compound with a dilute aqueous solution of the
appropriate mineral acid at not higher than 1000 C for approximately
one to three hours The 6-aryl-A 6-desoxymorphine addition salts may be
prepared in like manner.
Although the elevated temperature may be necessary to effect ester
hydrolysis, the formation of the acid addition salt takes place
readily at room temperature.
The following examples illustrate methods of carrying out the present
invention, but it is to be understood that these examples are given
primarily by way of illustration and not of limitation.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION
Morphine Derivatives We, MERCK & CO, INC, a corporation duly organised
and existing under the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States
of America, of Rahway, New Jersey, United States of America, do hereby
declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted
to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be
particularly described in and by the following statement:This
invention relates to morphine derivatives.
In brief, this invention provides dihydromorphine compounds of the
general formula OR' 4 u E in which R represents lower alkyl or aryl
and R 1 represents acyl, the term " acyl " being used herein to
include the residue of a carboxylic acid, carboalkloxy, and
carboaralkoxy, and the term " lower alkyl " denoting alkyl groups
containing from one to five carbon atoms These compounds are readily
converted to valuable <-desoxy-morphine derivatives by processes
described in the Specification of copending Application
13937/54 (Serial No 786,156).
The formula of morphine is shown for comparison:
This invention also provides a process for producing the said
compounds from a 6(lower alkyl or aryl)-dihydromorphine by esterifying
its phenolic hydroxy group 6(lower alkyl or aryl)-dihydromorphines can
themselves be produced by the reaction of dihydromorplilnone with an
ethereal solution of an alkyl lithium or an aryl lithium such as
methyl lithium, ethyl lithium, propyl lithium, butyl lithium and
phenyl lithium, thereby forming the corresponding
6-alkyldihydromnorphine or 6-aryl-dihydromorphine, such as 6-methyl
dihydromorphine, 6-ethyldihydromorphine, 6-propyl-dihydromorphine,
6-butyl-dihydromorphine and 6-phenyl-dihydromorphine.
Esterification of the 3-hydroxy group of the 6-(lower
alkyl)-dihydromorphine or 6aryl-dihydromorphine is accomplished by
reacting the 6-(lower allkyl)-dihydromorphine or
6-aryl-dihydromorphine with an organic esterifying agent such as an
organic acid halide or an organic acid anhydride.
Examples of the esterifying agents which can be used satisfactorily in
the process of this invention are aliphatic and aromatic acid
anhydrides and halides as well as carboalkoxy and carboaralkoxy
halides.
Some of the specific compounds which have served as esterifying agents
are acetyl chloride, carboethoxy chloride, carbobenzoxy chloride, and
acetic anhydride Excess amounts of the esterifying agent may be used
in the process without adversely affecting the yield of the esterified

product In fact, if the esterifying agent is a liquid it may be used
in excess to replace the solvent which would ordinarily be employed
during the reaction The preferred esterifying agents are acetic
anhydride or carboalkoxy chlorides.
Although pyridine is the solvent of choice for the esterification,
other solvents such as water or organic solvents having no reactive
hydrogen atoms can be employed efficiently in this process Examples of
the solvents that can be used are aliphatic, alicyclic, and aromatic
hydrocarbons, halogenated hydro(pfls, 786,157 1954.
i _e 2 786,157 carbons, ethers, ketones and tertiary amines, (such as
toluene, chloroqorm, dioxane, and N-ethyl piperidine.
It is generally preferred to conduct the reaction of the
6-alkyl-dihydromorphine or 6aryl-dihydromorphine with an esterifying
agent in the presence of an acid binding agent, thus neutralizing the
acid formed during the reaction and increasing the yield of the ester
The basic material used may be an alkali or alkaline earth metal
oxide, hydroxide, carbonate or bicarbonate or an organic tertiary
amine The preferred acid binding agent is pyridine.
It is convenient to carry out the esterification at approximately room
temperature or slightly above room temperature for a period of about
six to twenty-four hours although higher temperatures may be employed
with resultant shortening of the time cycle.
The reaction product, an O',-acyl-6-(lower alkyl)-dihydromorphine or
an O-acyl-6-aryldihydromorphine, may be purified by extraction into a
solvent immiscible with the reaction mixture, and subsequently
crystallized by trituration with ether.

the process of the invention.

Improvements in Pigment Compositions.

We, RAYMOND DEVERELL-SMITH, ERIC I'ANSON, JACK MELLOR and HARRY JAMES
TWITCHETT, of Hexagon House, Blackley, Manchester, all British
Subjects, and IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED, of Imperial
Chemical House, Millbank, London, S W A, a British -Company, do hereby
declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted
to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be
particularly described in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to new compositions of matter and in particular
it relates to new pigment compositions for use in the coloration of
Dlastic media.
It has hitherto been proposed to use lead chromate pigments, which
possess bright shades and good fastness properties to light and heat,
in the coloration of plastic media and particularly in the coloration
of polystyrene and polythene plastic mouldings.
The lead chromate pigments however suffer from the disadvantage that
they are unstable in many plastic media at the high temperatures, for
example 260-280 C, that are now used in the trade for moulding.
We have now found that this disadvantage can be obviated in the case
of polystyrene plastic media by adding a di or tri-carboxylic aromatic
acid to the lead chromate pigment.
According to our invention therefore we provide in the first place new
pigment compositions suitable for the coloration of polystyrene
plastic media which comprise lead chromate pigments wherein for every
parts by weight of a lead chromate pigment there is present between 5
parts and parts by weight of a di or tri-carboxylic aromatic acid.
lPrice ri WI l 4 S 6 d The said lead chromate pigment may be for
example a middle, lemon, primrose or scarlet (molybdate) chrome
pigment.
As suitable di or tri-carboxylic acids there may be mentioned for
example terephthalic acid, 2-chloroisophthalic acid, diphenylether-4:
41-dicarboxylic acid, naphthalene- 11:4: 8-tricarboxylic acid,
monochloroterephtbalic acid, 4: 5-diphenphthalic acid and
4-chlorophthalic acid.
The said new pigment compositions may also contain other suitable
pigments, provided that these pigments are stable in polystyrene
plastic media, in order to obtain compound shades Moreover, opaque
white pigments for example titanium dioxide, or extenders for example
blanc fixe may be added.
The new pigment compositions may also contain other constituents for
example basic aluminium sulphate as described in our copending U K
Application No 27636/54 (Serial No 786,159) and such compositions may
be used also for the coloration of cellulose acetate plastic media as
therein described.
We have also found that pigment compositions which comprise both the

di or tricarboxylic aromatic acid and the basic aluminium sulphate may
also be used for the coloration of polythene plastic media and
particularly in the coloration of polythene plastic mouldings and
extrusions.
These media are not satisfactorily coloured by pigment compositions
which comprise only the di or tri-carboxylic acid and not the basic
aluminium sulphate, or vice versa.
Thus according to a further feature of our invention we Provide in the
second place new pigment compositions suitable for the coloration of
plastic media, particularly polystyrene, polythene and cellulose
acetate 2 _; 3 r,plastic media, which comprise lead chromate pigments
wherein for every 100 parts by weight of a lead chromate pigment there
is present between 5 and 75 parts by weight of a di or tri-carboxylic
aromatic acid and also basic aluminium sulphate in amount preferably
between 50 and 500 parts by weight.
The expression "basic aluminium sulphate" relates to that product
which may be obtained by the interaction of aqueous solutions of
sodium carbonate and aluminium sulphate and in the trade this product
is also known and used under such expressions as "alumina white,"
"alumina hydrate," "alumina hydroxide," or "hydrated aluminium
hydroxide " According to yet another feature of our invention we
provide a process for the 2 D manufacture of coloured plastic media
especially polythene, polystyrene and cellulose acetate plastic media
which comprises incorporating the aforesaid new pigment compositions
of the invention into plastic media.
The said incorporation may be brought about for example by masticating
mixtures of the new pigment compositions and the said plastic media on
a hot roll mill and then cooling and granulating to produce
homogeneously coloured moulding powders or extrusion compounds.
The new pigment compositions are useful for the production of full,
reduced or pastel shades in plastic media and especially at the high
temperatures now used in the trade for moulding and extrusion
Mouldings and extrusions so obtained at these high temperatures are
brighter than those obtained at the same temperatures using pigment
compositions which do not contain the described additions.
The invention is illustrated but not limited by the following Examples
in which the parts are by weight:EXAMPLE 1.
A polystyrene moulding powder is obtained by mixing the
following:parts of polystyrene; 05 part of the scarlet chrome pigment
obtained by the addition of an aqueous solution containing sodium
chromate, sodium sulphate and sodium molybdate to an aqueous solution

moulding powder A moulding may be manufactured from the said moulding
powder by the use of a prolonged moulding cycle at a high temperature
for exam Dle 15 minutes at 280 ' C When so obtained, the moulding is
scarlet in colour whereas omission of the terephthalic acid from the

masticating the said mixture on a hot roll mill The mixture is then
cooled and granulated and there is obtained a moulding compound A
moulding may be manufactured from the said moulding powder by the use
of a prolonged moulding cycle at a high temperature, for example, 15

minutes at 2400 C When so obtained, the moulding retains much more
nearly the original bright orange shade of the moulding compound than
when the terephthalic acid is omitted from the moulding powder.
from the moulding powder there results a moulding the colour of which
is largely destroyed.
