Abstract
Abstract A reinforcing adhesive sheet comprising: a thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet containing a reinforcing material in an unhardened or semi-hardened state; and a bead-forming material provided on the thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet, the bead-forming material being narrower than the thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet and forming a bead-like projection prior to hardening the thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet, wherein the bead-forming material is a flattened material produced by flattening an elastic foamed body containing a holding agent in voids thereof, the flattened form being maintained by the holding agent, and the bead-forming material is capable of recovering its original foamed form upon heating.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A reinforcing adhesive sheet comprising: a thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet containing a reinforcing material in an unhardened or semi-hardened state; and a bead-forming material provided on the thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet, said bead-forming material being narrower than the thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet and forming a bead-like projection prior to hardening the thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet, wherein said bead-forming material is a flattened material produced by flattening an elastic foamed body containing a holding agent in voids thereof, the flattened form being maintained by the holding agent, and said bead-forming material is capable of recovering its original foamed form upon heating wherein the thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet comprises a first thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet and a second thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet, and the bead-forming material is interposed between the first and second thermosetting reinforcing resin sheets.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
A reinforcing adhesive sheet comprising: a thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet containing a reinforcing material in an unhardened or semi-hardened state; and a bead-forming material provided on the thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet, said bead-forming material being narrower than the thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet and forming a bead-like projection prior to hardening the thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet, wherein said bead-forming material is a flattened material produced by flattening an elastic foamed body containing a holding agent in voids thereof, the flattened form being maintained by the holding agent, and said bead-forming material is capable of recovering its original foamed form upon heating wherein the thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet comprises a first thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet and a second thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet, and the bead-forming material is interposed between the first and second thermosetting reinforcing resin sheets.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
59 words
A sheet as in claim 1, wherein the tensile modulus of the first thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet after hardening by heating is greater than that of the second thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet, and the glass transition temperature of the first thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet after hardening by heating is higher than that of the second thermosetting reinforcing resin sheet.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
A sheet as in claim 1, wherein at least the second thermosetting resin sheet is an electrically conductive sheet.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A reinforcing adhesive sheet as in claim 1, wherein the holding agent has a melting point or softening point in the range of from 40° to 140° C.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
47 words
A reinforcing adhesive sheet as in claim 4, wherein the holding agent is a thermosetting resin selected from the group consisting of an epoxy resin, a phenol resin, and a polyester resin, or a thermoplastic resin selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, and polybutyral.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
42 words
A reinforcing adhesive sheet as in claim 1, wherein the holding agent is present in the foamed material in an amount of from about 25 to 75 wt% based on the total amount of the elastic foamed body and the holding agent.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
42 words
A reinforcing adhesive sheet as in claim 4, wherein the holding agent is present in the foamed material in an amount of from about 25 to 75 wt% based on the total amount of the elastic foamed body and the holding agent.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
42 words
A reinforcing adhesive sheet as in claim 5, wherein the holding agent is present in the foamed material in an amount of from about 25 to 75 wt% based on the total amount of the elastic foamed body and the holding agent.
