Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 93 words
The method of making a formed strand of thermoplastic synthetic resin having a solidified coating thereon, which method comprises coating an extruded strand of said resin, while in a thermoplastic or thermoelastic condition, with a lubricating layer of a lubricating liquid which can be solidified by heat or radiation, bringing said lubricated synthetic resin strand into sliding contact with a solid surface, whereby form is imparted to said strand, separating the formed strand from said solid surface, and then hardening said layer of lubricating liquid to form a solid coat on said strand.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 93 words
The method of making a formed strand of thermoplastic synthetic resin having a solidified coating thereon, which method comprises coating an extruded strand of said resin, while in a thermoplastic or thermoelastic condition, with a lubricating layer of a lubricating liquid which can be solidified by heat or radiation, bringing said lubricated synthetic resin strand into sliding contact with a solid surface, whereby form is imparted to said strand, separating the formed strand from said solid surface, and then hardening said layer of lubricating liquid to form a solid coat on said strand.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 20 words
A method as in claim 1 wherein said lubricating liquid comprises an ethylenically-unsaturated compound which is polymerizable by free radicals.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 27 words
A method as in claim 1 wherein said lubricating liquid comprises a polymerization initiator forming free radicals when heated or irradiated with visible or ultra violet light.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 15 words
A method as in claim 1 wherein said lubricating liquid comprises a dissolved macromolecular compound.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 27 words
A method as in claim 1 wherein said lubricating liquid has a viscosity between 1 Pa.s and 500 Pa.s at the temperature at which it is used.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 15 words
A method as in claim 1 wherein said lubricant liquid comprises methyl methacrylate and polymethylmethacrylate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 28 words
A method as in claim 1 wherein said lubricating liquid comprises at least one mono- or poly-unsaturated free radical-polymerizable monomer having a boiling point above about 150° C.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 18 words
A method as in claim 7 wherein said lubricating liquid further comprises a dissolved saturated or unsaturated resin.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 16 words
A method as in claim 7 wherein said lubricating liquid also comprises a photoinitiator for polymerization.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 16 words
A method as in claim 8 wherein said lubricating liquid also comprises a photoinitiator for polymerization.
