Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 59 words
A thermoplastic resin composition having improved weld strength, said composition consisting essentially of (A) 45 to 94.9% by weight of a polycarbonate resin, (B) 5 to 40% by weight of a rubber-modified styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer resin, and (C) 0.1 to 15% by weight of a bisphenol epoxy resin, a novolak epoxy resin, a phenoxy resin or a mixture thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 59 words
A thermoplastic resin composition having improved weld strength, said composition consisting essentially of (A) 45 to 94.9% by weight of a polycarbonate resin, (B) 5 to 40% by weight of a rubber-modified styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer resin, and (C) 0.1 to 15% by weight of a bisphenol epoxy resin, a novolak epoxy resin, a phenoxy resin or a mixture thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 23 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the rubber-modified styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer resin (B) contains 2 to 25% by weight of a rubber component.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 41 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the resin (C) is a bisphenol-type epoxy resin represented by the general formula ##STR5## wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and l is a rational number of from 0 to 200.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 52 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the resin (C) is a novolak-type epoxy resin represented by the general formula ##STR6## wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R' represents an alkyl group having 1 to 9 carbon atoms, and m is a rational number of from 0 to 50.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 42 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the resin (C) is a resin having recurring structural units of the general formula ##STR7## wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and n is a rational number of from 3 to 200.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 58 words
A thermoplastic resin composition having improved weld strength, said composition consisting essentially of (A) 70 to 85% by weight of a polycarbonate resin, (B) 9 to 27% by weight of a rubber-modified styrene/maleic anhydride copolymer, and (C) 3 to 6% by weight of a bisphenol epoxy resin, a novolak epoxy resin, a phenoxy resin or a mixture thereof.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 58 words
A thermoplastic resin composition having improved weld strength, said composition consisting essentially of (A) 70 to 85% by weight of a polycarbonate resin, (B) 9 to 27% by weight of a rubber-modified styrene/maleic anhydride copolymer, and (C) 3 to 6% by weight of a bisphenol epoxy resin, a novolak epoxy resin, a phenoxy resin or a mixture thereof.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 22 words
The thermoplastic resin composition of claim 6 wherein the polycarbonate resin is an aromatic polycarbonate resin derived from an aromatic dihydroxy compound.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 23 words
The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 1 wherein the polycarbonate resin is an aromatic polycarbonate resin derived from an aromatic dihydroxy compound.
