Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
79 words
A molded hose article providing easy release from a metal mold surface against which the hose article is cured, comprising: a tube; and a cover disposed outwardly of the tube, at least the outer surface of the tube being formed of a blend of (1) a major portion of a heat setting rubbery polymer, which by itself normally tends to at least partially adhere to the associated metal mold surface, and (29) minor portion of a halogenated polyethylene rubber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
79 words
A molded hose article providing easy release from a metal mold surface against which the hose article is cured, comprising: a tube; and a cover disposed outwardly of the tube, at least the outer surface of the tube being formed of a blend of (1) a major portion of a heat setting rubbery polymer, which by itself normally tends to at least partially adhere to the associated metal mold surface, and (29) minor portion of a halogenated polyethylene rubber.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The molded hose article of claim 1, wherein the tube is formed of a material distinct from that of the cover.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
79 words
In a molded rubber article having an exterior surface comprised of a heat setting rubbery polymer normally at least partially adherent to the associated mold surface against which the article is cured, the improvement comprising said article having a mold releasable exterior surface of a blend of said rubbery polymer with a halogenated polyethylene, wherein from about 2 to about 175 weight percent of the halogenated polyethylene is employed based on the weight of the heat setting rubbery polymer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
79 words
In a molded rubber article having an exterior surface comprised of a heat setting rubbery polymer normally at least partially adherent to the associated mold surface against which the article is cured, the improvement comprising said article having a mold releasable exterior surface of a blend of said rubbery polymer with a halogenated polyethylene, wherein from about 2 to about 175 weight percent of the halogenated polyethylene is employed based on the weight of the heat setting rubbery polymer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
87 words
A molded hose article providing easy release from a metal mold surface against which it is cured, comprising: a tube; and a cover disposed outwardly of the tube formed of a blend of (1) a heat setting rubbery polymer, which by itself normally tends to at least partially adhere to an associated metal mold surface, and (2) a halogenated polyethylene elastomer wherein there is present from about 2 to about 175 weight percent of the halogenated polyethylene based on the weight of the heat setting rubbery polymer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
87 words
A molded hose article providing easy release from a metal mold surface against which it is cured, comprising: a tube; and a cover disposed outwardly of the tube formed of a blend of (1) a heat setting rubbery polymer, which by itself normally tends to at least partially adhere to an associated metal mold surface, and (2) a halogenated polyethylene elastomer wherein there is present from about 2 to about 175 weight percent of the halogenated polyethylene based on the weight of the heat setting rubbery polymer.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
The molded hose article of claim 4 wherein from about 12 to about 175 weight percent of the halogenated polyethylene elastomer is employed based on the weight of the heat setting rubber polymer.
