It does not account for terminal disclaimers, term adjustments, failure to pay maintenance fees, or other factors which might affect the term of a patent.AbstractThe disclosed water stopper and water stopping process use an aqueously-swelling water-stopping composition consisting of 10 to 40 weight % of rubber whose main ingredient is reclaimed rubber, 10 to 20 weight % of silicic compound, 10 to 60 weight % of bentonite, and 10 to 40 weight % of plasticizer. The aforesaid water-stopping composition may be extruded into an elongated water stopper with or without a core therein, which water stopper can be inserted into a joint gap or other gap of structural members to stop water at the gap.Other References
