Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 174 words
In a high density information record adapted for use with a playback stylus to effect recovery of signals occupying a bandwidth of at least several megahertz when relative motion at a desired rate is established between said record and said stylus, said record comprising a disc of a conductive material containing an information track constituted by a surface relief pattern in said track to accommodate recovery of signals of said bandwidth upon establishment of relative motion at said rate, said record coated with a methyl alkyl siloxane lubricant having the formula ##STR5## wherein R 1 and R 2 are alkyl groups of 4-20 carbon atoms, x is an integer of 2-4, y is an integer of 0-2 and wherein the sum of x plus y is 4 or less, the improvement which comprises including in said lubricant an alkylene oxide silicone copolymer of the formula ##STR6## wherein R 3 and R 4 are lower alkyl, a is an integer of 1-2, b is an integer of 0-2 and c is an integer of 1-6.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 174 words
In a high density information record adapted for use with a playback stylus to effect recovery of signals occupying a bandwidth of at least several megahertz when relative motion at a desired rate is established between said record and said stylus, said record comprising a disc of a conductive material containing an information track constituted by a surface relief pattern in said track to accommodate recovery of signals of said bandwidth upon establishment of relative motion at said rate, said record coated with a methyl alkyl siloxane lubricant having the formula ##STR5## wherein R 1 and R 2 are alkyl groups of 4-20 carbon atoms, x is an integer of 2-4, y is an integer of 0-2 and wherein the sum of x plus y is 4 or less, the improvement which comprises including in said lubricant an alkylene oxide silicone copolymer of the formula ##STR6## wherein R 3 and R 4 are lower alkyl, a is an integer of 1-2, b is an integer of 0-2 and c is an integer of 1-6.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 27 words
A record according to claim 1 wherein from about 10 to about 70 percent by weight of the lubricant of the alkylene oxide silicone copolymer is present.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 27 words
A record according to claim 1 wherein R 2 is methyl, R 4 is ethyl, a is 1-2, b is 0 and c is 3 and/or 6.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 27 words
A record according to claim 1 wherein from about 10 to about 20 percent by weight of the lubricant of the alkylene oxide silicone copolymer is present.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 24 words
A record according to claim 1, 2, 3 or 4 wherein said disc is made of a conductive carbon-containing polymer or copolymer of polyvinylchloride.
