Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
An image forming and transferring sheet comprising a base sheet having a first face and a second face, each of said faces having image transfer means for transferring an image to an adjacent sheet, said image transfer means including an image forming agent on each of said faces, and means for securing said image forming agents on said sheet for release only in a preselected direction of pressure by an imaging instrument, said securing means including screening means normally occluding passage of said image forming agents until distention thereof into an outwardly convex shape by an imaging instrument.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
An image forming and transferring sheet comprising a base sheet having a first face and a second face, each of said faces having image transfer means for transferring an image to an adjacent sheet, said image transfer means including an image forming agent on each of said faces, and means for securing said image forming agents on said sheet for release only in a preselected direction of pressure by an imaging instrument, said securing means including screening means normally occluding passage of said image forming agents until distention thereof into an outwardly convex shape by an imaging instrument.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
The image sheet of claim 1 in which said screening means includes discrete particles.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
The image sheet set forth in claim 1 in which said image-forming agents comprise first and second pairs of mutual image-forming reactants, the mutual reactants of each pair being positioned on opposite sides of said base sheet.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
The image sheet set forth in claim 3 in which at least one reactant of each pair is microencapsulated.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
The image sheet set forth in claim 4 in which each of said image forming reactants are inert with respect to the adjacent reactant of the other pair on the same side of the base sheet.
