Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A COMPOSITE ARTICLE COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE PREFORMED SURFACE OF A MATERIAL SELECTED FROM AT LEAST ONE OF THE GROUP IF GLASS, CERAMIC, METAL AND METALLIC ALLOY AND HAVING A FUSIONTYPE SEALING COMPOSITION THEREI ON CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF A BASE SEALING GLASS HAVING A SEALNG TEMPERATURE BELOW THE DEFORMATION TEMPERATURE OF SAID PREFORMED SURFACE AND BEING SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF LEAD-ZINCBORATE AND LEAD-BOROSILICATE SEALING GLASSES, SAID BASE SEALING GLASS HAVING FROM ABOUT 2 TO ABOUT 18 PERCENT BY WEIGHT OF A CALCINED ZIRCONIA VANADIA SILICA STAIN HOMOGENEOUSLY BLENDED THEREIN, SAID FUSION-TYPE SEALING COMPOSITION POSSESSING THE PROPERTY OF BEING DEVITRIFIABLE TO PRODUCE A DEVITRIFIED FUSIONTYPE SEAL HAVING A THERMAL COEFFICIENT OF EXPANSION RANGING FROM ABOUT 5 X 10-7 IN. IN. *C, (C. (0*-300*C) TO 20 X 10-7 IN. IN. *C. (0*-300*C.) LOWER THAN THE SAME SEALING GLASS COMPOSITION WOULD POSSESS UPON BEING DEVITRIFIED WITHOUT ANY ZIRCONIA VANADIA SILICA STAIN BEING BLENDED THEREIN.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
A composite article according to claim 1 wherein said base sealing glass consists essentially of 70 to 85 weight percent PbO, 6 to 15 weight percent ZnO and 7 to 10 weight percent B2O3 and 0 to 5 weight percent SiO2.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
A composite article according to claim 1 wherein said base sealing glass consists essentially of 70 to 85 weight percent PbO, 7 to 15 weight percent B2O3, 2 to 10 weight percent SiO2 and 1 to 5 weight percent Al2O3.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
A composite article according to claim 1 wherein said base sealing glass has homogeneously blended therein about 8 percent by weight of said calcined zirconia vanadia silica stain.
