Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
A hot screen printing machine comprising at least one rotatable cylindrical drum; a flexible sheet of electrically conductive material wrapped around the drum and capable of generating heat comprising a heat resisting polymer film containing a material selected from the group consisting of carbon black, grafted carbon, aluminum powder, silver powder, and copper powder; an electrically insulating layer on the outside surface of the drum and above the sheet of electrically conductive material and formed of a material selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate film, cellulose triacetate film, felt and sponge, and means for supplying electricity to the heat generating flexible sheet including a pair of electrodes positioned parallel to the drum and extending across the surface of the flexible sheet beneath the insulating layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
127 words
A hot screen printing machine comprising at least one rotatable cylindrical drum; a flexible sheet of electrically conductive material wrapped around the drum and capable of generating heat comprising a heat resisting polymer film containing a material selected from the group consisting of carbon black, grafted carbon, aluminum powder, silver powder, and copper powder; an electrically insulating layer on the outside surface of the drum and above the sheet of electrically conductive material and formed of a material selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate film, cellulose triacetate film, felt and sponge, and means for supplying electricity to the heat generating flexible sheet including a pair of electrodes positioned parallel to the drum and extending across the surface of the flexible sheet beneath the insulating layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
A hot screen printing machine as in claim 1, where the means for supplying electricity further includes lead wires and brush type current collector means connected to the electrodes and positioned at one end of the drum radially inward of the electrodes.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
