Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
21 words
A method as defined in claim 1 wherein said synthetic plastic sheet material of said cover layer is a thermoplastic material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
38 words
A method as defined in claim 1 wherein the step of activating said latently adhesive thermoplastic material of said intermediate layer comprises subjecting said layers to the influence of elevated temperature in said inner and outer bonding zones.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
A method as defined in claim 1 wherein the step of activating said latently adhesive thermoplastic material of said intermediate layer comprises heating at least said pressure faces of said die means while pressing the latter against said cover layer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A method as defined in claim 1 wherein said resiliently compressible thermoplastic material of said intermediate layer is a cellular material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein the step of pressing said die means against said cover sheet comprises compressing said intermediate layer substantially only in said inner and outer bonding zones, while leaving the remainder of said intermediate layer uncompressed.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein said narrow outer bonding zone is inwardly contiguous to said outer contour line.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein said narrow outer contour line surrounds said design surface.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
63 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein said resiliently compressible thermoplastic material of said intermediate layer has a cellular structure; and wherein the step of bounding said cover layer by said thermoplastic material of said intermediate layer to said support material includes collapsing of the cellular structure of said thermoplastic material of said intermediate layer in said inner and outer bonding zones.
