Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
65 words
A laser recording method which comprises: providing a light absorbing deformation promoting removable layer having a high absorption coefficient for a laser beam on a transparent main deformable base having a thermofusible property at least at the surface thereof, recording a laser beam of a power sufficient to deform said base onto said layer thereof, and reducing the absorption coefficient of said light absorbing layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
64 words
A laser recording material comprising: a transparent main deformable base having a thermofusible property at least at the surface thereof, having superimposed thereon, a light absorbing deformation promotion removable layer having a high absorption coefficient for a laser beam, and recorded on to said light absorbing deformation promoting removable layer, a laser beam of a power sufficient to deform said base onto said layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The laser beam recording material as defined in claim 3 wherein saId base is polyethylene terephthalate, said thermofusible layer is polystyrene, and said light absorbing layer is a mixture of carbon black and polyvinyl acetate.

Dependent Claim
19 words
The laser beam recording material as defined in claim 3 wherein said light absorbing layer is Brilliant Carmin 6B.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
The laser beam recording material as defined in claim 3 wherein said base is a polystyrene film and said light absorbing layer is a mixture of carbon black and polyvinyl acetate.
