Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
93 words
A chewing gum composition in the form of a tablet, said tablet consisting essentially of an aromatized alkaline earth-free gum base, sodium fluoride, and a water soluble artificial sweetener consisting essentially of xylitol mixed with L-sorbose of the formula C 6 H 12 O 6 , said artificial sweetener comprising between about 45% and about 90% by weight of the composition, and the weight ratio of said xylitol to said sorbose is between about 1:10 and about 10:1 and said composition being free of alkaline earth constituents capable of forming insoluble fluoride compounds.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
93 words
A chewing gum composition in the form of a tablet, said tablet consisting essentially of an aromatized alkaline earth-free gum base, sodium fluoride, and a water soluble artificial sweetener consisting essentially of xylitol mixed with L-sorbose of the formula C 6 H 12 O 6 , said artificial sweetener comprising between about 45% and about 90% by weight of the composition, and the weight ratio of said xylitol to said sorbose is between about 1:10 and about 10:1 and said composition being free of alkaline earth constituents capable of forming insoluble fluoride compounds.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
64 words
A chewing gum in the form of a tablet, said tablet consisting essentially of an aromatized alkaline earth-free gum base, sodium fluoride, and artificial sweetener consisting essentially of a xylitol and sorbitol mixture, said artificial sweetener comprising between about 45% and about 90% by weight of the tablet, and the weight ratio of said xylitol to said sorbitol is between about 1:10 and 10:1.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
64 words
A chewing gum in the form of a tablet, said tablet consisting essentially of an aromatized alkaline earth-free gum base, sodium fluoride, and artificial sweetener consisting essentially of a xylitol and sorbitol mixture, said artificial sweetener comprising between about 45% and about 90% by weight of the tablet, and the weight ratio of said xylitol to said sorbitol is between about 1:10 and 10:1.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
71 words
A process for the preparation of a chewing gum composition, which comprises heating a gum base free of any alkaline earth to about 65° C., slowly mixing said gum base and incorporating sodium fluoride, xylitol and L-sorbose into said gum base together with a member selected from the group consisting of liquid paraffin and glycerin, the weight ratio of said xylitol to said sorbose being between about 1:10 and about 10:1.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
71 words
A process for the preparation of a chewing gum composition, which comprises heating a gum base free of any alkaline earth to about 65° C., slowly mixing said gum base and incorporating sodium fluoride, xylitol and L-sorbose into said gum base together with a member selected from the group consisting of liquid paraffin and glycerin, the weight ratio of said xylitol to said sorbose being between about 1:10 and about 10:1.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
57 words
A process for the preparation of a chewing gum composition, which comprises heating a gum base free of any alkaline earths to about 65° C., slowly mixing said gum base and incorporating sodium fluoride, xylitol and sorbitol into said gum base, the weight ratio of said xylitol to said sorbitol being between about 1:10 and about 10:1.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
57 words
A process for the preparation of a chewing gum composition, which comprises heating a gum base free of any alkaline earths to about 65° C., slowly mixing said gum base and incorporating sodium fluoride, xylitol and sorbitol into said gum base, the weight ratio of said xylitol to said sorbitol being between about 1:10 and about 10:1.
