Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 22
Claim 1
Independent Claim 138 words
A composition for treating live human hair comprising water, an organic solvent or mixtures thereof which includes, as an ingredient thereof, a hydrophobic-lipophobic compound of anionic, cationic, nonionic or amphoteric character corresponding to the formula CF 3--(CF.sub.2).sub.x --(CH.sub.2).sub.y --Z where Z is a member selected from the group consisting of a water-solubilizing groups and an oil-solubilizing group, x is an integer from 2 to 17, and y is an integer from 0 to 4, said compound being present in proportions, based on the weight of the composition, in the range of about 0.05% to not in substantial excess of the solubility or ready dispersibility of said compound in the composition and not in excess of 10%, said composition also containing, as an additional ingredient, a combing aid selected from the group consisting of cationic compounds, silicones and proteins.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 138 words
A composition for treating live human hair comprising water, an organic solvent or mixtures thereof which includes, as an ingredient thereof, a hydrophobic-lipophobic compound of anionic, cationic, nonionic or amphoteric character corresponding to the formula CF 3--(CF.sub.2).sub.x --(CH.sub.2).sub.y --Z where Z is a member selected from the group consisting of a water-solubilizing groups and an oil-solubilizing group, x is an integer from 2 to 17, and y is an integer from 0 to 4, said compound being present in proportions, based on the weight of the composition, in the range of about 0.05% to not in substantial excess of the solubility or ready dispersibility of said compound in the composition and not in excess of 10%, said composition also containing, as an additional ingredient, a combing aid selected from the group consisting of cationic compounds, silicones and proteins.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 22 words
The composition of claim 1, in which the proportions of said compound are in the range of about 0.1% to about 1%.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 45 words
The composition of claim 1, in which said compound is in solution in a mixture of water and a water-soluble aliphatic alcohol in which the water content of said solution is in the range of about 15% to about 80% by weight of said composition.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 25 words
The composition of claim 3, in which the water content is in the range of about 20% to about 70% by weight of said composition.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 22 words
The composition of claim 3, in which the alcohol is a member selected from the group consisting of ethanol and isopropyl alcohol.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 22 words
The composition of claim 4, in which the alcohol is a member selected from the group consisting of ethanol and isopropyl alcohol.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 16 words
The composition of claim 1, in which, in the hydrophobic-lipophobic compound, x is 7 to 11.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 25 words
The composition of claim 7, in which Z is a member selected from the group consisting of sulfonic, sulfate, carboxyl, phosphate and quaternary ammonium groups.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 14 words
The composition of claim 7, in which the hydrophobic-lipophobic compound is anionic in character.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 14 words
The composition of claim 7, in which the hydrophobic-lipophobic compound is cationic in character.
Claim 12
Independent Claim 88 words
A method of retarding the flow of sebum along the hair shafts of hair on the human head which comprises contacting said hair with a solution containing from about 0.05% to 10% by weight of a hydrophobic-lipophobic compound of anionic, cationic, nonionic or amphoteric character corresponding to the formula CF.sub.3 --(CF.sub.2).sub.x --(CH.sub.2).sub.y --Z where Z is a member selected from the group consisting of a water-solubilizing groups and an oil-solubilizing group, x is an integer from 2 to 17, and y is an integer from 0 to 4.
Claim 13
Independent Claim 88 words
A method of retarding the flow of sebum along the hair shafts of hair on the human head which comprises contacting said hair with a solution containing from about 0.05% to 10% by weight of a hydrophobic-lipophobic compound of anionic, cationic, nonionic or amphoteric character corresponding to the formula CF.sub.3 --(CF.sub.2).sub.x --(CH.sub.2).sub.y --Z where Z is a member selected from the group consisting of a water-solubilizing groups and an oil-solubilizing group, x is an integer from 2 to 17, and y is an integer from 0 to 4.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 27 words
The method of claim 11, in which the hydrophobic-lipophobic compound is present in proportions in the range of about 0.05% to 0.2% by weight of said solution.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 49 words
The method of claim 11, in which the solution of said hydrophobic-lipophobic compound is a solution in a mixture of water and a water-soluble aliphatic alcohol in which the water content of said solution is in the range of about 15% to about 80% by weight of said solution.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim 25 words
The method of claim 13, in which the water content is in the range of about 20% to about 70% by weight of said solution.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim 22 words
The method of claim 13, in which the alcohol is a member selected from the group consisting of ethanol and isopropyl alcohol.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim 22 words
The method of claim 14, in which the alcohol is a member selected from the group consisting of ethanol and isopropyl alcohol.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim 16 words
The method of claim 11, in which, in the hydrophobic-lipophobic compound, x is 7 to 11.
Claim 20
Dependent Claim 25 words
