Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim 62 words
A floppy disk jacket consisting essentially of a porous, nonwoven fabric, the nonwoven fabric being in at least one layer having, when formed into a jacket, a writably-smooth and wear-resistant, highly-porous but finely-porous exterior, and a soft, porous, fibrous inner side for facing a floppy disk in the jacket, for providing an exchange of moisture through the jacket but not just penetration.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 62 words
A floppy disk jacket consisting essentially of a porous, nonwoven fabric, the nonwoven fabric being in at least one layer having, when formed into a jacket, a writably-smooth and wear-resistant, highly-porous but finely-porous exterior, and a soft, porous, fibrous inner side for facing a floppy disk in the jacket, for providing an exchange of moisture through the jacket but not just penetration.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 27 words
The floppy disk jacket of claim 1, wherein both the electrical surface resistance and resistance in depth of the nonwoven fabric does not exceed 10 9 ohms.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 23 words
The floppy disk jacket of claim 2, wherein the nonwoven fabric contains fibers filled with electrically conductive material sufficiently for providing the resistances.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 23 words
The floppy disk jacket of claim 1, wherein the nonwoven fabric is made of polyester, polyamide, polyolefin, PVC, heterofil fibers or mixtures thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 27 words
The floppy disk jacket of claim 4, wherein both the electrical surface resistance and resistance in depth of the nonwoven fabric does not exceed 10 9 ohms.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 17 words
The floppy disk jackets of claim 4, wherein the nonwoven fabric has more than one nonwoven layer.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 27 words
The floppy disk jacket of claim 6, wherein both the electrical surface resistance and resistance in depth of the nonwoven fabric does not exceed 10 9 ohms.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 16 words
The floppy disk jacket of claim 6, wherein the nonwoven layers are spot-welded to one another.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 27 words
The floppy disk jacket of claim 8, wherein both the electrical surface resistance and resistance in depth of the nonwoven fabric does not exceed 10 9 ohms.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 17 words
The floppy disk jackets of claim 1, wherein the nonwoven fabric has more than one nonwoven layer.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 27 words
The floppy disk jacket of claim 10, wherein both the electrical surface resistance and resistance in depth of the nonwoven fabric does not exceed 10 9 ohms.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 23 words
The floppy disk jacket of claim 11, wherein the nonwoven fabric contains fibers filled with electrically conductive material sufficiently for providing the resistances.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 16 words
The floppy disk jacket of claim 10, wherein the nonwoven layers are spot-welded to one another.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 27 words
The floppy disk jacket of claim 13, wherein both the electrical surface resistance and resistance in depth of the nonwoven fabric does not exceed 10 9 ohms.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim 23 words
The floppy disk jacket of claim 14, wherein the nonwoven fabric contains fibers filled with electrically conductive material sufficiently for providing the resistances.
