Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
A process for separating a number of pressure sensitive copying papers into groups which comprises (1) coating an adhesive composition comprising a naphthalene sulfonic acid-formaldehyde condensation product and a water-soluble polymer on an edge of a stack assembly of said copying papers and then (2) fanning said copying papers; said naphthalene sulfonic acid-formaldehyde condensation product comprising about 5 to 40% by weight of the adhesive composition and said water-soluble polymer, which is selected from the group consisting of natural polymer, a semi-synthetic polymer and a synthetic polymer, comprising about 0.1 to 20% by weight of the adhesive composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
A process for separating a number of pressure sensitive copying papers into groups which comprises (1) coating an adhesive composition comprising a naphthalene sulfonic acid-formaldehyde condensation product and a water-soluble polymer on an edge of a stack assembly of said copying papers and then (2) fanning said copying papers; said naphthalene sulfonic acid-formaldehyde condensation product comprising about 5 to 40% by weight of the adhesive composition and said water-soluble polymer, which is selected from the group consisting of natural polymer, a semi-synthetic polymer and a synthetic polymer, comprising about 0.1 to 20% by weight of the adhesive composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
66 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein the naphthalene sulfonic acid-formaldehyde condensation product is represented by the formula: ##SPC8## wherein R, which may be the same or different and a plurality of which may be present on the naphthalene nuclei, is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; X is a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal atom, or an ammonium group; and n is an integer.

Claim 11
Dependent Claim
54 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein the synthetic polymer is selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylamide, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene oxide, polyvinyl methyl ether, an acrylic acid-acrylamide copolymer, a styrene-methacrylic acid copolymer, a vinyl acetate-acrylic acid copolymer, a dimethyl itaconate-acrylic acid copolymer, an acrylonitrile-acrylic acid copolymer, and an acrylamide-styrene-acrylic acid copolymer.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
