Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
146 words
The method of preparing a neutralized viscous liquid proteinaceous extract which is useful as a skin conditioner, shampoo and the like, comprising the steps of heating an aqueous mixture of avian feathermeal and alkaline material; refluxing said mixture for several hours at 100 degrees C. under one atmosphere of pressure; thereafter cooling the refluxed solution and filtering said solution to recover a proteinaceous extract; adding sufficient sulfuric acid to extract to reduce the pH to 3.0; removing the precipitate formed during acidification of the extract by vacuum filtration; then heating and evaporating approximately one half by volume of the resultant concentrated viscous filtrate; adding sufficient alkali hydroxide to said viscous filtrate to neutralize the same to a pH of 7.0; and finally storing said proteinaceous extract at room temperature, and thereafter re-heating the said extract to re-dissolve precipitate material to produce a clear viscous liquid lotion.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
146 words
The method of preparing a neutralized viscous liquid proteinaceous extract which is useful as a skin conditioner, shampoo and the like, comprising the steps of heating an aqueous mixture of avian feathermeal and alkaline material; refluxing said mixture for several hours at 100 degrees C. under one atmosphere of pressure; thereafter cooling the refluxed solution and filtering said solution to recover a proteinaceous extract; adding sufficient sulfuric acid to extract to reduce the pH to 3.0; removing the precipitate formed during acidification of the extract by vacuum filtration; then heating and evaporating approximately one half by volume of the resultant concentrated viscous filtrate; adding sufficient alkali hydroxide to said viscous filtrate to neutralize the same to a pH of 7.0; and finally storing said proteinaceous extract at room temperature, and thereafter re-heating the said extract to re-dissolve precipitate material to produce a clear viscous liquid lotion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
The method of claim 21 wherein the alkaline reflux solution comprises strontium hydroxide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 21 wherein the alkaline reflux extract material comprises a fibrous keratin which contains water soluble peptides.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 21 wherein the viscous liquid is admixed with detergents and methyl parabin.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 21 wherein the viscous liquid comprises a mixture of detergents and preservatives.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 21 wherein the proteinaceous extract material comprises a naturally occurring cystine-cysteine.
