Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
94 words
A microcapsule toner for developing electrostatic or magnetic latent images, comprising a colored solid core material containing a binder resin, a first resin wall coating said core material and a second resin wall coating said first resin wall, wherein said first and second resin walls have been prepared through phase separation, and said first resin wall has a charging characteristic to a polarity opposite to those of said core material and said second wall resin in encapsulating media for formation of said first resin wall and for formation of said second resin wall, respectively.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
94 words
A microcapsule toner for developing electrostatic or magnetic latent images, comprising a colored solid core material containing a binder resin, a first resin wall coating said core material and a second resin wall coating said first resin wall, wherein said first and second resin walls have been prepared through phase separation, and said first resin wall has a charging characteristic to a polarity opposite to those of said core material and said second wall resin in encapsulating media for formation of said first resin wall and for formation of said second resin wall, respectively.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The microcapsule toner according to claim 1 wherein the binder resin is polyolefin or paraffin wax.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
113 words
A microcapsule toner for developing electrostatic or magnetic latent images, comprising a colored solid core material containing a binder resin and a resin wall coating said core material in which said core material is chemically bonded to said resin wall by having been produced through the steps of reacting an olefinic carboxylic acid chloride with a colored core material containing a binder resin in the presence of an acid eliminating agent, epoxidizing the resultant core material having an olefinic unit to obtain a core material having epoxy unit at the surface thereof,and encapsulating the obtained core material with a resin having a tertiary amine unit; said core material being solid at room temperature.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
113 words
A microcapsule toner for developing electrostatic or magnetic latent images, comprising a colored solid core material containing a binder resin and a resin wall coating said core material in which said core material is chemically bonded to said resin wall by having been produced through the steps of reacting an olefinic carboxylic acid chloride with a colored core material containing a binder resin in the presence of an acid eliminating agent, epoxidizing the resultant core material having an olefinic unit to obtain a core material having epoxy unit at the surface thereof,and encapsulating the obtained core material with a resin having a tertiary amine unit; said core material being solid at room temperature.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
The microcapsule toner according to claim 3, wherein the binder is polyolefin or paraffin wax.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
107 words
A microcapsule toner for developing electrostatic or magnetic latent images, comprising a colored solid core material containing a binder resin, a first resin wall of polyvinyl alcohol coating said core material and a second resin wall coating said first resin wall, said microcapsule toner being produced by dispersing a colored core material containing a binder resin in an aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solution; precipitating polyvinyl alcohol on the surface of the core material by addition of an inorganic salt to obtain an encapsulated core material with a first resin wall of polyvinyl alcohol; and encapsulating the encapsulated core material with a second resin wall for imparting developing characteristic.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
107 words
A microcapsule toner for developing electrostatic or magnetic latent images, comprising a colored solid core material containing a binder resin, a first resin wall of polyvinyl alcohol coating said core material and a second resin wall coating said first resin wall, said microcapsule toner being produced by dispersing a colored core material containing a binder resin in an aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solution; precipitating polyvinyl alcohol on the surface of the core material by addition of an inorganic salt to obtain an encapsulated core material with a first resin wall of polyvinyl alcohol; and encapsulating the encapsulated core material with a second resin wall for imparting developing characteristic.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
16 words
The microcapsule toner according to claim 5, wherein the binder resin is polyolefin or paraffin wax.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
91 words
A process for producing a microcapsule toner for developing electrostatic or magnetic latent images, comprising: dispersing a colored solid core material containing a binder resin in a solution of a capsule wall-forming resin in dimethylformamide, adding water to the resultant dispersion under agitation thereby to cause phase separation of said capsule wall-forming resin, and forming a capsule wall of said capsule wall-forming resin around said solid core material; said capsule wall-forming resin having a charging polarity opposite to that of said solid core material in the mixture of dimethylformamide and water.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
91 words
A process for producing a microcapsule toner for developing electrostatic or magnetic latent images, comprising: dispersing a colored solid core material containing a binder resin in a solution of a capsule wall-forming resin in dimethylformamide, adding water to the resultant dispersion under agitation thereby to cause phase separation of said capsule wall-forming resin, and forming a capsule wall of said capsule wall-forming resin around said solid core material; said capsule wall-forming resin having a charging polarity opposite to that of said solid core material in the mixture of dimethylformamide and water.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process according to claim 7, wherein said binder resin of the solid core material comprises polyolefin or paraffin wax.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process according to claim 7 wherein said capsule wall-forming resin comprises a copolymer of styrene and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate.
