Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
A silver halide photographic sensitive material comprising a support and at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and with a surface layer located on the same side of the support as the light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers and containing gelatin produced by processing collagen in acid and gelatin produced by processing collagen in alkali, in a ratio by weight of the gelatin produced by processing collagen in alkali to the gelatin produced by processing collagen in acid of about 0.5% or more but less than 100%, the total of the gelatin produced by processing collagen in acid and the gelatin produced by processing collagen in alkali in said surface layer being greater than about 20% by weight of the total weight of the binder in the surface layer, said surface layer not being a light-sensitive layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
137 words
A silver halide photographic sensitive material comprising a support and at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and with a surface layer located on the same side of the support as the light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers and containing gelatin produced by processing collagen in acid and gelatin produced by processing collagen in alkali, in a ratio by weight of the gelatin produced by processing collagen in alkali to the gelatin produced by processing collagen in acid of about 0.5% or more but less than 100%, the total of the gelatin produced by processing collagen in acid and the gelatin produced by processing collagen in alkali in said surface layer being greater than about 20% by weight of the total weight of the binder in the surface layer, said surface layer not being a light-sensitive layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
