Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
81 words
A vulcanized elastomeric hose comprising an inner tube and an outer cover, wherein said inner tube or said outer cover comprises a composition consisting essentially of: (1) a halogen-containing copolymer of a C 4 to C 7 isomonoolefin and a para-alkylstyrene, said copolymer comprising at least about 5 weight percent of said para-alkylstyrene, and at least about 0.4 mole percent of said halogen; and (2) a component selected from the group comprising a filler, a rubber compounding additive, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
81 words
A vulcanized elastomeric hose comprising an inner tube and an outer cover, wherein said inner tube or said outer cover comprises a composition consisting essentially of: (1) a halogen-containing copolymer of a C 4 to C 7 isomonoolefin and a para-alkylstyrene, said copolymer comprising at least about 5 weight percent of said para-alkylstyrene, and at least about 0.4 mole percent of said halogen; and (2) a component selected from the group comprising a filler, a rubber compounding additive, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The vulcanized elastomeric hose of claim 1, wherein said composition comprises from about 35 to about 65 weight percent of said copolymer; and from about 35 to about 65 weight percent of said component (2).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The vulcanized elastomeric hose of claim 1, wherein said copolymer comprises from about 5 to 20 weight percent of said para-alkylstyrene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The vulcanized elastomeric hose of claim 1, wherein said copolymer comprises at least about 0.5 mole percent of said halogen.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The vulcanized elastomeric hose of claim 1, wherein said halogen is selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
The vulcanized elastomeric hose of claim 1, wherein said halogen comprises bromine, and wherein said bromine is chemically bound to said para-alkylstyrene.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
