Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
An improved electrostatographic toner composition comprised of a resin, and a colorant, the resin consisting essentially of a polyether polymer resulting from the reaction product of 50 mol percent of a dihydric phenol, containing about 10 to 25 mol percent of a polyalkylene ether glycol selected from the group consisting of diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, di-1,2-polylene glycol, tri-1,2-propylene glycol, and tetra 1,2-propylene glycol, and about 40 mol percent to about 25 mol percent of epichlorohydrin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
77 words
An improved electrostatographic toner composition comprised of a resin, and a colorant, the resin consisting essentially of a polyether polymer resulting from the reaction product of 50 mol percent of a dihydric phenol, containing about 10 to 25 mol percent of a polyalkylene ether glycol selected from the group consisting of diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, di-1,2-polylene glycol, tri-1,2-propylene glycol, and tetra 1,2-propylene glycol, and about 40 mol percent to about 25 mol percent of epichlorohydrin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
An improved electrostatographic toner composition in accordance with claim 1 wherein the dihydric phenol is bisphenol A, and the polyalkylene ether glycol is diethylene glycol or tetraethylene glycol.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
An improved electrostatographic toner composition in accordance with claim 1 wherein the resin is a copolymer of styrene and n-butyl methacrylate, the colorant is carbon black, the dihydric phenol is bisphenol-A and the polyalkylene ether glycol is diethylene glycol or tetraethylene glycol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
An improved toner composition in accordance with claim 1 wherein 14 mol percent to 21 mol percent of the dihydric phenol is present, and from about 36 to 29 mol percent of the polyalkylene ether glycol is present.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
An improved electrostatographic toner composition in accordance with claim 1 wherein the polyether polymer is a polyglycidyl ether, resulting from the reaction product of bisphenol-A, tetraethylene glycol, and epichlorohydrin.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
An improved electrostatographic toner composition in accordance with claim 1 wherein the polyether polymer is a polyglycidyl ether, resulting from the reaction product of bisphenol-A, diethylene glycol, and epichlorohydrin.
