Abstract
Abstract A non-aerosol hair spray composition which provides superior hair styling properties while maintaining good hold or style retention contains about 5 to 10 percent of a lower alkyl ester of an alkyl vinyl ether-maleic acid copolymer, from 10 to 15 percent water, about 73 to 85 percent lower aliphatic alcohol, and up to about 2% of adjuvants.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
70 words
A non-aerosol hair spray for styling and holding the hair consisting essentially by weight of about 5 to 10 percent of a partly neutralized alkyl ester of alkyl vinyl ether maleic acid copolymer, in which the alkyl ester consists of four carbons or less, about 10 to 15 percent water, about 73 to 85 percent aliphatic 2 to 3 carbon atom monohydric alcohol and about 0.1 to 2 percent adjuvant.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
70 words
A non-aerosol hair spray for styling and holding the hair consisting essentially by weight of about 5 to 10 percent of a partly neutralized alkyl ester of alkyl vinyl ether maleic acid copolymer, in which the alkyl ester consists of four carbons or less, about 10 to 15 percent water, about 73 to 85 percent aliphatic 2 to 3 carbon atom monohydric alcohol and about 0.1 to 2 percent adjuvant.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
The non-aerosol hair spray composition of claim 1, in which the lower alkyl ester is partly neutralized monoethyl or monobutyl ester of methyl vinyl ether-maleic acid copolymer and the alcohol is ethanol or isopropanol.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
51 words
The non-aerosol hair spray composition of claim 2, in which the amount of resin is about 7.5 to 9 percent, the amount of water is about 11.5 to 13 percent, the amount of alcohol is about 77 to 80 percent and the amount of adjuvant is about 0.75 to 1 percent.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
The non-aerosol hair spray composition of claim 3, in which the lower alkyl ester is the ethyl ester and the alcohol is ethanol.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
The non-aerosol hair spray formulation of claim 4, consisting of the said resin, water, ethanol, panthenol, quaternium-26, and dimethicone copolyol.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
The non-aerosol hair spray formulation of claim 5, in which the ethanol is about 78 percent, the water is about 12 percent and the resin is about 8percent.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
47 words
In a method of applying a composition to the hair to style and hold the hair, the improvement which comprises employing the non-aerosol of hair spray of claim 1 as said composition whereby a single composition permits the user to suquentially both style and hold the hair.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
47 words
In a method of applying a composition to the hair to style and hold the hair, the improvement which comprises employing the non-aerosol of hair spray of claim 3 as said composition whereby a single composition permits the user to sequentially both style and hold the hair.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
47 words
In a method of applying a composition to the hair to style and hold the hair, the improvement which comprises employing the non-aerosol of hair spray of claim 5 as said composition whereby a single composition permits the user to sequentially both style and hold the hair.
