Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 81 words
A method of preparing a composite structural unit including a plastic resinous surface sheet bonded to a concrete sub-unit, said method comprising: applying polychloroprene contact adhesive to one side of a plastic resinous sheet, drying said adhesive to the touch, disposing said plastic resinous sheet in a form retaining mold, said plastic sheet being disposed with the contact adhesive layer facing away from said mold; pouring wet settable concrete in said mold, said concrete engaging said adhesive; and curing said concrete.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 81 words
A method of preparing a composite structural unit including a plastic resinous surface sheet bonded to a concrete sub-unit, said method comprising: applying polychloroprene contact adhesive to one side of a plastic resinous sheet, drying said adhesive to the touch, disposing said plastic resinous sheet in a form retaining mold, said plastic sheet being disposed with the contact adhesive layer facing away from said mold; pouring wet settable concrete in said mold, said concrete engaging said adhesive; and curing said concrete.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 15 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said contact adhesive comprises a phenolic resin and polychloroprene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 13 words
The method of claim 2 wherein said phenolic resin is t-butyl phenolic resin.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 14 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said plastic resinous sheet comprises a polyvinylchloride film.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 21 words
The method of claim 2 wherein reinforcement means are bonded to said sheet by contact adhesive prior to pouring said concrete.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 16 words
The method of claim 5 wherein said reinforcement means are steel bars coated with contact adhesive.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 73 words
A composite structural unit comprising plastic resinous sheet means, concrete sub-unit means, and a polychloroprene contact adhesive, said contact adhesive providing a bond between said sheet and said concrete, said plastic sheet having been coated on one side with said contact adhesive and said coated sheet and said concrete having been brought together after said adhesive was dry to the touch but while said concrete was still in a wet pourable uncured condition.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 73 words
A composite structural unit comprising plastic resinous sheet means, concrete sub-unit means, and a polychloroprene contact adhesive, said contact adhesive providing a bond between said sheet and said concrete, said plastic sheet having been coated on one side with said contact adhesive and said coated sheet and said concrete having been brought together after said adhesive was dry to the touch but while said concrete was still in a wet pourable uncured condition.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 24 words
The structural units of claim 7 wherein said unit includes metal reinforcement, said metal reinforcement being bonded to said concrete by said contact adhesive.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 16 words
The structural unit of claim 8 wherein said metal reinforcement is further bonded to said sheet.
