Abstract

Abstract A doll or other children's toy with photochromatic characteristics are formed from an opaque organic polymer material containing on its surface or incorporated within its material at least one photochromatic organic compound chosen from the classes of spirooxazines and spiropiranes. The methods for preparing said photochromatic objets are described.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim 49 words
A doll or other children's toy of opaque organic polymer material, containing on its surface or incorporated within its material at least one photochromatic compound chosen from the class of the spiro-oxazines of Formula (I) or from the class of the spiropiranes of Formula (II), (III), (IV) or (V).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words

Claim 10
Dependent Claim 51 words
Process for the preparation of a doll or other children's toy according to claims 1 to 8, characterized in that at least one photochromatic organic compound with Formula from (I) to (V) is incorporated in an article of opaque polymer material, or is applied to the surface of the article itself.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 63 words
Process according to claim 9, characterized in that at least one photochromatic compound with Formula from (I) to (V) is mixed with an opaque polymer material, or relative prepolymer, in a quantity of from 0.01 to 1% and preferably from 0.02 to 0.4% by weight with respect to the polymer or prepolymer and the mixture thus obtained is transformed into the finished object.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 59 words
Process according to claim 9, characterized in that at least one photochromatic compound with Formula from (I) to (V) is applied to the surface of the object formed of opaque polymer material in the form of a varnish which contains said photochromatic compound in a quantity of from 0.01 to 1% and preferably from 0.02 to 0.4% by weight.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 66 words
Process according to claim 9, characterized in that at least one organic photochromatic compound with Formula from (I) to (V) is applied to the surface of the object formed of opaque polymer material by impregnation of the object itself with a solution of the photochromatic compound in an organic solvent at a concentration of from 0.01 to 5% and preferably from 0.05 to 3% by weight.
