Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
86 words
An indicator device for the quantitative determination of metal cyanides in aerosol form, comprising, a tube having a bore extending therethrough from an entrance end for receiving the metal cyanides to an exit end, gas-permeable means within said bore adjacent said entrance end, said gas-permeable means including a carrier member and an acid impregnated in said carrier member, and indicating means within said bore intermediate said gas-permeable means and said exit end, said indicator means having a carrier member impregnated with mercuric chloride and methyl red.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
86 words
An indicator device for the quantitative determination of metal cyanides in aerosol form, comprising, a tube having a bore extending therethrough from an entrance end for receiving the metal cyanides to an exit end, gas-permeable means within said bore adjacent said entrance end, said gas-permeable means including a carrier member and an acid impregnated in said carrier member, and indicating means within said bore intermediate said gas-permeable means and said exit end, said indicator means having a carrier member impregnated with mercuric chloride and methyl red.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
12 words
The device according to claim 1, wherein said acid is sulfuric acid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
The device according to claim 1, wherein said acid is phosphoric acid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
The device according to claim 1, further comprising, pump means connected to said exit end for drawing the metal cyanides through said bore.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The device according to claim 1, wherein the quantity of acid exceeds the relative amount of metal cyanides on a stoichiometric basis.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
43 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
27 words
The device according to claim 1, wherein said bore of said tube is closed at said entrance end and further comprising means for opening said entrance end.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
24 words
