Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
A simulated stained glass article comprising a sheet of transparent or translucent plastic material having two major surfaces, at least one of said major surfaces being deformed to distort or refract light incident thereon, said distortion or refraction of light being caused solely by said deformation of said at least one of said major surfaces, a thermofluid or thermosetting composition disposed on at least one of said major surfaces thereof and coloured to give a leaded effect, said thermofluid or thermosetting composition comprising a plurality of layers which provide a three dimensional appearance for said leaded effect, and at least one coloured ink printed on at least one of said major surfaces to give a decorative effect between the areas of the sheet having said leaded effect.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
127 words
A simulated stained glass article comprising a sheet of transparent or translucent plastic material having two major surfaces, at least one of said major surfaces being deformed to distort or refract light incident thereon, said distortion or refraction of light being caused solely by said deformation of said at least one of said major surfaces, a thermofluid or thermosetting composition disposed on at least one of said major surfaces thereof and coloured to give a leaded effect, said thermofluid or thermosetting composition comprising a plurality of layers which provide a three dimensional appearance for said leaded effect, and at least one coloured ink printed on at least one of said major surfaces to give a decorative effect between the areas of the sheet having said leaded effect.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
An article according to claim 1 wherein each ink has ultra-violet inhibiting properties.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
An article according to claim 1 wherein the leaded effect comprises either an epoxy base resin containing fillers therein or a polyester resin.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
An article according to claim 1 wherein said thermofluid or thermosetting composition is disposed on said at least one deformed major surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
124 words
A simulated stained glass article comprising a sheet of transparent or translucent plastic material having two major surfaces, both of said major surfaces being deformed to distort or refract light incident thereon, said distortion or refraction of light being caused solely by said deformation of said both of said major surfaces, a thermofluid or thermosetting composition disposed on at least one of said deformed major surfaces thereof and coloured to give a leaded effect, said thermofluid or thermosetting composition comprising a plurality of layers which provide a three dimensional appearance for said leaded effect, and at least one coloured ink printed on at least one of said major surfaces to give a decorative effect between the areas of the sheet having said leaded effect.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
124 words
A simulated stained glass article comprising a sheet of transparent or translucent plastic material having two major surfaces, both of said major surfaces being deformed to distort or refract light incident thereon, said distortion or refraction of light being caused solely by said deformation of said both of said major surfaces, a thermofluid or thermosetting composition disposed on at least one of said deformed major surfaces thereof and coloured to give a leaded effect, said thermofluid or thermosetting composition comprising a plurality of layers which provide a three dimensional appearance for said leaded effect, and at least one coloured ink printed on at least one of said major surfaces to give a decorative effect between the areas of the sheet having said leaded effect.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
163 words
A simulated stained glass article providing a plurality of decorative panels separated by a leaded effect comprising a sheet of transparent or translucent plastic material having two major surfaces, at least one of said major surfaces being deformed to distort or refract light incident thereon, said distortion or refraction of light being caused solely by said deformation of said at least one of said major surfaces, a thermofluid or thermosetting composition disposed on at least one of said major surfaces thereof and coloured to give a leaded effect, said thermofluid or thermosetting composition comprising a plurality of layers which provide a three dimensional appearance for said leaded effect, said thermofluid or thermosetting composition dividing up said sheet into a plurality of panels, and at least one coloured ink printed on at least one of said major surfaces to give a decorative effect to said plurality of panels, said at least one coloured ink providing a plurality of different decorative effects for said panels.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
163 words
A simulated stained glass article providing a plurality of decorative panels separated by a leaded effect comprising a sheet of transparent or translucent plastic material having two major surfaces, at least one of said major surfaces being deformed to distort or refract light incident thereon, said distortion or refraction of light being caused solely by said deformation of said at least one of said major surfaces, a thermofluid or thermosetting composition disposed on at least one of said major surfaces thereof and coloured to give a leaded effect, said thermofluid or thermosetting composition comprising a plurality of layers which provide a three dimensional appearance for said leaded effect, said thermofluid or thermosetting composition dividing up said sheet into a plurality of panels, and at least one coloured ink printed on at least one of said major surfaces to give a decorative effect to said plurality of panels, said at least one coloured ink providing a plurality of different decorative effects for said panels.
