Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
71 words
A method of manufacturing liquid releasing devices comprising the steps of: (1) providing two opposed surfaces, (2) coating each of said two opposed surfaces with a binder, (3) applying a composition between said opposed surfaces with a binder, said composition consisting essentially of microcapsules having a liquid fill therein and a liquid carrying medium free of adhesive, and (4) bonding said surfaces together and trapping said microcapsules therebetween with said binder.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
