Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
72 words
A PLANT-TIE COMPRISING: TWO RIBBONS OF POLYVINYL CHLORIDE JOINED FACE TO FACE IN PARALLEL TO FORM A UNIFIED STRIP; A WIRE DISPOSED BETWEN SAID RIBBONS LENGTHWISE THEREOF; ONE OF SAID RIBBONS BEING FLAT AND THE OTHER OF SAID RIBBONS HAVING A CHANNEL AT LEAST AS DEEP AS THE DIAMETER OF SAID WIRE, IN WHICH SAID WIRE IS EMBEDDED; AND A CEMENTITIOUS COATING ON SAID WIRE FOR BONDING SAID WIRE TO SAID RIBBONS.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
72 words
A PLANT-TIE COMPRISING: TWO RIBBONS OF POLYVINYL CHLORIDE JOINED FACE TO FACE IN PARALLEL TO FORM A UNIFIED STRIP; A WIRE DISPOSED BETWEN SAID RIBBONS LENGTHWISE THEREOF; ONE OF SAID RIBBONS BEING FLAT AND THE OTHER OF SAID RIBBONS HAVING A CHANNEL AT LEAST AS DEEP AS THE DIAMETER OF SAID WIRE, IN WHICH SAID WIRE IS EMBEDDED; AND A CEMENTITIOUS COATING ON SAID WIRE FOR BONDING SAID WIRE TO SAID RIBBONS.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
95 words
THE METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A PLANT-TIE WHICH CONSISTS IN: COATING A WIRE WITH CEMETITIOUS MATERIAL; DISPOSING SAID WIRE BETWEEN TWO RIBBONS OF THERMOPLASTIC MATERIAL AND PRESSING SAID RIBBONS TOGETHER TO CAUSE SAID WIRE TO EMBED THEREIN; HEAT-TREATING THE BAND FORMED BY SAID RIBBONS AND SAID COATED WIRE, AND PRESSING SAID RIBBONS TOGETHER TO CAUSE THE HEATED MATERIAL THEREOF TO ADHERE ONE RIBBON TO THE OTHER END TO FLOW AROUND AND TO ADHERE TO SAID COATED WIRE; MAINTAINING SAID BAND TEMPORARILY IN SUBSTANTIALLY FULLY HEATED CONDITION; AND THEN SUDDENLY AND RAPIDLY COOLING SAID BAND UNDER PRESSURE.
