Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
51 words
An internal combustion fuel composition comprising a major proportion of a motor fuel containing a small but effective amount, sufficient to impart reduced knocking tendencies to said motor fuel, of an ashless antiknock additive selected from the group consisting of 2-(dimethylaminomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (I), 2-(diethylaminomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (II), 2-(pyrolidinomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (III), 2-(piperidinomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (IV), and 2-(morpholinomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (V).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
51 words
An internal combustion fuel composition comprising a major proportion of a motor fuel containing a small but effective amount, sufficient to impart reduced knocking tendencies to said motor fuel, of an ashless antiknock additive selected from the group consisting of 2-(dimethylaminomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (I), 2-(diethylaminomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (II), 2-(pyrolidinomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (III), 2-(piperidinomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (IV), and 2-(morpholinomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (V).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A composition according to claim 1 wherein the motor fuel contains from about 0.1 weight percent to saturated at 20° C. of said additives.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A composition according to claim 1 wherein the motor fuel is a distillate boiling in the range of about 70° F. to about 420° F. (21.1°-216° C.).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A gasoline composition containing an antiknock quantity of at least one ashless antiknock additive of the group consisting of 2-(dimethylaminomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (I), 2-(diethylaminomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (II), 2-(pyrolidinomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (III), 2-(piperidinomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (IV), and 2-(morpholinomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (V).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
A gasoline composition containing an antiknock quantity of at least one ashless antiknock additive of the group consisting of 2-(dimethylaminomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (I), 2-(diethylaminomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (II), 2-(pyrolidinomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (III), 2-(piperidinomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (IV), and 2-(morpholinomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (V).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
The composition of claim 4 containing from about 0.1 weight percent to saturated at 20° C. of the antiknock additive.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
20 words
The composition of claim 4 containing from about 1 weight percent to saturated at 20° C. of the antiknock additive.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
12 words
A composition according to claim 4 wherein said additive is 2-(dimethylaminomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (I).
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
12 words
A composition according to claim 4 wherein said additive is 2-(diethylaminomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (II).
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
12 words
A composition according to claim 4 wherein said additive is 2-(pyrolidinomethyl)-3-hydroxypyridine (III).
