Abstract
Abstract A heat sensitive recording member is composed of a support and a heat sensitive layer overlying the support. The heat sensitive layer contains an iron salt of a higher fatty acid and gallic acid as color forming components, a stilbene series fluorescent dye as an unusual color forming inhibitor, and hydroxypropyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
In a heat sensitive recording member which comprises a support and a heat sensitive layer overlying said support, said heat sensitive layer being composed of a binder having dispersed therein an iron salt of a higher fatty acid and gallic acid as the color forming components which react with each other to provide a color upon the application of heat thereto; the improvement wherein said heat sensitive layer comprises, dispersed in said binder, in addition to said color forming components, a stilbene series fluorescent dye which inhibits said reaction prior to the use of said recording member, and wherein said binder is at least one member selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
117 words
In a heat sensitive recording member which comprises a support and a heat sensitive layer overlying said support, said heat sensitive layer being composed of a binder having dispersed therein an iron salt of a higher fatty acid and gallic acid as the color forming components which react with each other to provide a color upon the application of heat thereto; the improvement wherein said heat sensitive layer comprises, dispersed in said binder, in addition to said color forming components, a stilbene series fluorescent dye which inhibits said reaction prior to the use of said recording member, and wherein said binder is at least one member selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
54 words
A heat sensitive recording member according to claim 1 in which the heat sensitive layer contains 1.5-8.0 parts by weight of the iron salt of a higher fatty acid, 0.5-5 parts by weight of gallic acid, 0.1-3.0 parts by weight of the stilbene series fluorescent dye and 3-15 parts by weight of said binder.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
135 words
In a heat sensitive recording member which comprises a support and a heat sensitive layer overlying said support, said heat sensitive layer being composed of a binder having dispersed therein an iron salt of a higher fatty acid and gallic acid as the color forming components which react with each other to provide a color upon the application of heat thereto; the improvement wherein said heat sensitive layer comprises, dispersed in said binder, in addition to said color forming components, a stilbene series fluorescent dye which inhibits said reaction prior to the use of said recording member, and which is represented by the formula: ##STR2##wherein X is a phenylcarbamoyl group or a cyanuric acid residue, and wherein said binder is at least one member selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
135 words
