Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
44 words
The combination of claim 1 in which the binder is gelatin and the material to be emulsified is first dissolved in a volatile water-immisicible short chain aliphatic solvent along with the oil former, and the solution thus formed is emulsified into the gelatin emulsion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
13 words
The combination of claim 2 in which the organic solvent is methylene chloride.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
The combination of claim 2 in which the organic solvent is diethyl carbonate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
The combination of claim 1 in which the binder is gelatin, the material to be emulsified is soluble in aqueous alkali, and is dissolved in an aqueous alkaline solution along with the oil former and the resulting solution emulsified into the gelatin emulsion.
