Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
72 words
In combination: a. a roll of material for use in fabrication; and b. reference markings on the roll of material spaced uniformly such that the markings can be used for measurement, the roll of material having reference numbers at regular interval adjacent the reference markings, such that the reference numbers designate the positioning of the adjacent reference marking relative to a primary reference point at the centre of the roll of material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
72 words
In combination: a. a roll of material for use in fabrication; and b. reference markings on the roll of material spaced uniformly such that the markings can be used for measurement, the roll of material having reference numbers at regular interval adjacent the reference markings, such that the reference numbers designate the positioning of the adjacent reference marking relative to a primary reference point at the centre of the roll of material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The combination as defined in claim 1, wherein the primary reference point has a value of zero.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
48 words
The combination as defined in claim 1, wherein the reference numbers are positioned toward the centre of the roll of material in relation to the reference markings, such that when a cut is made along a reference marking the adjacent reference numeral remains on the roll of material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
The combination as defined in claim 1, wherein the orientation of the reference numbers on the roll of material is such that the reference numbers successively increase from the primary reference point.
