Liquid composition containing discrete gaseous bodies

Claim 1

A TRANSPARENT LIQUID COMPOSITION WHICH COMPRISES A TRANSPARENT AQUEOUS SOLVENT CONTAINING A POLYMER DISSOLVED THEREIN IN SUCH CONCENTRATION AS TO BE POURABLE FROM A NARROW-MOUTHED CONTAINER AND FORM A LIQUID PHASE HAVING FLOW PROPERTIES WHICH INCLUDE A BINGHAM YIELD VALUE, AND HAVING DISPERSED THEREIN DISCRETE BODIES OF A GAS NORMALLY HAVING A MAXIMUM SOLUBILITY IN WATER OF ABOUT 3.1% AT 20*C. AND ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE, SAID FLOW PROPERTIES OF THE SURROUNDING LIQUID PHASE BEING SUFFICIENT TO MAINTAIN SAID GASEOUS BODIES IN GLOBULAR FORM AND ALLOW THE DRAINING OF THE LIQUID FROM THE WALLS IN A SMOOTH, OILY MANNER UPON POURING OF THE PRODUCT, SAID GASEOUS BODIES HAVING DIAMETERS OF A DESIRED SIZE RANGE WITHIN THE LIMITS OF ABOUT 0.5 TO 5 MILLIMETERS, THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF BODIES BEING AT LEAST ABOUT ONE PER CUBIC CENTIMETER OF SAID LIQUID AND DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE LIQUID PHASE AS TO IMPART A SPARKLING EFFECT UPON VISUAL OBSERVATION, THE YIELD VALUE OF SAID LIQUID BEING CONTROLLABLE BY VARIATION IN THE CONCENTRATION OF SAID POLYMER IN SAID SOLVENT, SAID YIELD VALUE BEING SUFFICIENT TO RETAIN SAID GASEOUS BODIES IN SUSPENSION AND MAINTAIN SAID OPTICAL EFFECT FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME.
