Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
67 words
A soap comprising two or more phases, wherein said two or more phases are visible when viewed from above and from the side, wherein said two or more phases are diagonally cut, wherein the individual phase is cut at an angle of 14° to 70°, and wherein the points of intersection of said phases are joined under pressure so that cambering arises at said points of intersection.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
67 words
A soap comprising two or more phases, wherein said two or more phases are visible when viewed from above and from the side, wherein said two or more phases are diagonally cut, wherein the individual phase is cut at an angle of 14° to 70°, and wherein the points of intersection of said phases are joined under pressure so that cambering arises at said points of intersection.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A soap according to claim 1 , wherein each phase is visible in the vertical, longitudinal and transverse projection to at least 15% based on the overall projected area.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A soap according to claim 1 , wherein each phase is visible in the vertical, longitudinal and transverse projection to at least 20% based on the overall projected area.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A soap according to claim 1 , wherein the areas of the adjacent phases are cut diagonally and cambered towards one another.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A soap according to claim 1 , wherein each phase comprises different perfume oils, cosmetic ingredients, active ingredients, dyes and/or further additives.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
70 words
A process for the preparation of multiphase soap comprising two or more phases, wherein said two or more phases are visible when viewed from above and from the side, comprising the step of diagonally cutting in the form of soap strands the individual phases at an angle of from 14° to 70°, and the points of intersection are joined under pressure so that cambering arises at the points of intersection.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
70 words
A process for the preparation of multiphase soap comprising two or more phases, wherein said two or more phases are visible when viewed from above and from the side, comprising the step of diagonally cutting in the form of soap strands the individual phases at an angle of from 14° to 70°, and the points of intersection are joined under pressure so that cambering arises at the points of intersection.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
32 words
A process according to claim 6 , wherein the angle is 30° to 55°, and the points of intersection are joined under pressure so that cambering arises at the points of intersection.
