Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 27
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
A laminate comprising a layer of a polyarylate sheet, said polyarylate derived from a dihydric phenol and an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, and a layer of a sheet of a thermoplastic aromatic polycarbonate, a thermoplastic polyester derived from an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic diol, or mixtures thereof, and at least one aromatic dicarboxylic acid, or mixtures of the polycarbonate and polyester, the sheets which form the layers being from about 1 mil to about 100 mils thick for the polyarylate and from about 2 mils to 1/2-inch thick for the polycarbonate and/or polyester.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
91 words
A laminate comprising a layer of a polyarylate sheet, said polyarylate derived from a dihydric phenol and an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, and a layer of a sheet of a thermoplastic aromatic polycarbonate, a thermoplastic polyester derived from an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic diol, or mixtures thereof, and at least one aromatic dicarboxylic acid, or mixtures of the polycarbonate and polyester, the sheets which form the layers being from about 1 mil to about 100 mils thick for the polyarylate and from about 2 mils to 1/2-inch thick for the polycarbonate and/or polyester.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
