Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
144 words
A process for producing a simulated stained and leaded glass structure from a pane of glass or plastic having a front side and a reverse side comprising the steps of: a. adhering extruded lead strips to the front side of the pane thereby forming closed design segments thereof. b. providing at least one sheet of polyester material with adhesive on one side thereof; c. covering the adhesive on said one side of said polyester material with a lubricant whereby the adhesive is temporarily rendered inactive; d. positioning said one side of said sheet to said pane correspondingly coinciding with the closed design segments formed on said front side thereof; e. trimming the edges of said sheet to correspond to said closed design segments; and, f. removing said lubricant by squeezing said sheets against the pane whereby said sheet is permanently bonded to said pane.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
144 words
A process for producing a simulated stained and leaded glass structure from a pane of glass or plastic having a front side and a reverse side comprising the steps of: a. adhering extruded lead strips to the front side of the pane thereby forming closed design segments thereof. b. providing at least one sheet of polyester material with adhesive on one side thereof; c. covering the adhesive on said one side of said polyester material with a lubricant whereby the adhesive is temporarily rendered inactive; d. positioning said one side of said sheet to said pane correspondingly coinciding with the closed design segments formed on said front side thereof; e. trimming the edges of said sheet to correspond to said closed design segments; and, f. removing said lubricant by squeezing said sheets against the pane whereby said sheet is permanently bonded to said pane.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process recited in claim 1 wherein, said lead strips are adhered to said pane by an adhesive.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process recited in claim 2 wherein, said lubricant is selected to be inert relative to the adhesive used with said lead strips.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
The process recited in claim 3 wherein, said lubricant is formed of a soapy solution.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
The process recited in claim 1 wherein, said sheet of polyester material is positioned adjacent said reverse side of said pane.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
15 words
The process recited in claim 1 wherein, said pane is formed of substantially clear material.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process recited in claim 1 wherein, said pane is substantially smooth on both the front and reverse sides.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process recited in claim 1 including the step of, applying an adhesive to one side of said polyester material.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
36 words
The process recited in claim 1 including the step of, adhering extruded lead strips to the reverse side of said pane in coincidence with the lead strips previously adhered to said front side of said pane.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
14 words
The process recited in claim 1 wherein, said polyester material exhibits a predetermined color.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
22 words
The process recited in claim 10 wherein, said sheet is permanently bonded to said pane in order to impart additional strength thereto.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
130 words
A simulated stained and leaded glass structure produced by the process of; providing a panel of glass or plastic having two major parallel surfaces; adhering lead strips to one surface of said panel thereby forming closed design segments thereon; providing at least one sheet of polyester material having adhesive on one side thereof; covering the adhesive on said one side of said sheet of polyester material with a lubricant whereby the adhesive is temporarily rendered inactive; positioning said one side of said sheet to said panel to coincide with the closed design segments on said one surface; trimming the edges of said sheet to correspond to the closed design segments; and removing said lubricant by squeezing said sheets against said panel whereby said sheet is permanently bonded to said panel.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
130 words
A simulated stained and leaded glass structure produced by the process of; providing a panel of glass or plastic having two major parallel surfaces; adhering lead strips to one surface of said panel thereby forming closed design segments thereon; providing at least one sheet of polyester material having adhesive on one side thereof; covering the adhesive on said one side of said sheet of polyester material with a lubricant whereby the adhesive is temporarily rendered inactive; positioning said one side of said sheet to said panel to coincide with the closed design segments on said one surface; trimming the edges of said sheet to correspond to the closed design segments; and removing said lubricant by squeezing said sheets against said panel whereby said sheet is permanently bonded to said panel.
