Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A PLASTIC SHEET FORMED TO PRESENT A SURFACE FOR DISPLAY, SAID SHEET COMPRISING THROUGHOUT A CELLULAR STRUCTURE OF INDIVIDUAL ELEMENTS OF SOLID CHIPS OF A VINYL POLYMER THAT ARE DEFORMED UNDER HEAT AND PRESSURE SO THAT SAID ELEMENTS ARE SEPARATED EACH FROM OTHERS BY A SEPARATE AND DISTINCT HAIRLINE BORDER STRUCTURE COMPRISED OF A VINYL COMPOUND, SAID ELEMENTS AND BORDER STRUCTURES BEING VISIBLY EXPOSED AT THE DISPLAY SURFACE AND EXTENDING IN DEPTH IN THE SHEET, AND SAID BORDER STRUCTURE BEING COMMON TO CONTIGUOUS ELEMENTS AND FORMING A SHARP DELINEATION BETWEEN SAID ELEMENTS, WHEREBY THE APPEARANCE OF THE DISPLAY SURFACE CLOSELY RESEMBLES TERRAZZO.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words

Claim 3
Independent Claim
117 words
THE METHOD OF PRODUCING A PLASTIC SHEET HAVING A SURFACE WHICH RESEMBLES TERRAZZO IN APPEARANCE, WHICH COMPRISES THE STEPS OF COVERING SOLID CHIPS OF A MATERIAL COMPRISING A VINYL POLYMER WITH A THIN COATING OF A VINYL COMPOUND, APPLYING PRESSURE TO A MASS OF SAID COATED CHIPS TO REDUCE THEM TO SHEET FORM, HEATING SAID SHEET WHILE MAINTAINING IT UNDER PRESSURE UNTIL SAID CHIPS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SAID HEAT AND SAID PRESSURE HAVE BEEN DEFORMED AND SAID CHIPS AND SAID COATING HAVE BONDED TOGETHER TO FORM AN INTEGRATED SUBSTANTIALLY SELF-SUPPORTING SHEET, AND THEN REMOVING THE COATING FROM ONE SURFACE OF THE SHEET TO EXPOSE THE SURFACES OF THE CHIPS WHICH WERE COVERED BY SAID REMOVED COATING.
