Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A protective jacket for rotatably holding therein for rotation about an axis, a plane disc recording medium, said jacket including at least one buffer sheet bonded on the inner surfaces of said jacket, said at least one sheet contacting both planar surfaces of said disc, wherein said at least one buffer sheet is bonded to said jacket by a bond in the form of a plurality of gaps formed in said at least one buffer sheet forming concentric circles about said axis.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
82 words
A protective jacket for rotatably holding therein for rotation about an axis, a plane disc recording medium, said jacket including at least one buffer sheet bonded on the inner surfaces of said jacket, said at least one sheet contacting both planar surfaces of said disc, wherein said at least one buffer sheet is bonded to said jacket by a bond in the form of a plurality of gaps formed in said at least one buffer sheet forming concentric circles about said axis.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
80 words
A protective jacket for rotatably holding therein for rotation about an axis, a plane disc recording medium, said jacket including at least one buffer sheet bonded on the inner surfaces of said jacket, said at least one sheet contacting both planar surfaces of said disc, wherein said at least one buffer sheet is bonded to said jacket by a bond in the form of a gap formed in said at least one buffer sheet forming a vortex about said axis.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
80 words
A protective jacket for rotatably holding therein for rotation about an axis, a plane disc recording medium, said jacket including at least one buffer sheet bonded on the inner surfaces of said jacket, said at least one sheet contacting both planar surfaces of said disc, wherein said at least one buffer sheet is bonded to said jacket by a bond in the form of a gap formed in said at least one buffer sheet forming a vortex about said axis.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
The protective jacket of claim 1 or 2 wherein said at least one buffer sheet comprises two buffer sheet portions, each of said two buffer sheet portions contacting one planar surface of said disc.
