Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
A method for bonding two sheets of glass in spaced relationship comprising the steps of: a. mixing sodium silicate, potassium silicate, filler and reinforcing fibers with water to form a cement composition; b. applying said cement composition between two glass sheets about the perimeter portion to be bonded; c. exposing said cement composition to sufficient temperature for sufficient time to dry the cement composition, thereby bonding said glass sheets in spaced relationship; and d. applying an organic sealant between the glass about the perimeter portion outside the cement.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
88 words
A method for bonding two sheets of glass in spaced relationship comprising the steps of: a. mixing sodium silicate, potassium silicate, filler and reinforcing fibers with water to form a cement composition; b. applying said cement composition between two glass sheets about the perimeter portion to be bonded; c. exposing said cement composition to sufficient temperature for sufficient time to dry the cement composition, thereby bonding said glass sheets in spaced relationship; and d. applying an organic sealant between the glass about the perimeter portion outside the cement.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein the reinforcing fibers are selected from the group consisting of nylon and Dacron.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
