Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
Polyquaternary ammonium methylene, or substituted methylene, phosphonates wherein all the methylene, or substituted methylene, phosphonate groups are of the formula ##STR67## and are nitrogen-bonded and wherein the quaternary nitrogens are present in the phosphonates as ##STR68## terminal groups and as ##STR69## internal groups when there are more than 2 nitrogen atoms, there being at least two of the terminal groups in each phosphonate compound, wherein the nitrogen atoms are linked together by bridging groups containing at least 2 carbon atoms in each of the bridge chains, where the groups R and the bridging groups are hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon containing ethereal or hydroxy oxygen, where the groups R' are R groups or ##STR70## groups, where the groups R" are hydrogen or hydrocarbon, where M is hydrogen or a salt moiety, and where X 31 is an anion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
136 words
Polyquaternary ammonium methylene, or substituted methylene, phosphonates wherein all the methylene, or substituted methylene, phosphonate groups are of the formula ##STR67## and are nitrogen-bonded and wherein the quaternary nitrogens are present in the phosphonates as ##STR68## terminal groups and as ##STR69## internal groups when there are more than 2 nitrogen atoms, there being at least two of the terminal groups in each phosphonate compound, wherein the nitrogen atoms are linked together by bridging groups containing at least 2 carbon atoms in each of the bridge chains, where the groups R and the bridging groups are hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon containing ethereal or hydroxy oxygen, where the groups R' are R groups or ##STR70## groups, where the groups R" are hydrogen or hydrocarbon, where M is hydrogen or a salt moiety, and where X 31 is an anion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
The polyquaternaries of claim 1 having repeating units of the general formula ##STR71## where A is a bridging group as defined in claim 1, M is hydrogen, ammonium, ammonium form of amino or a metal, and X ia halogen, the metal being an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
101 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
