Appeal No. 97-1175 Page 3
Application No. 08/383,361
BACKGROUND
The appellant's invention relates to replaceable ejector
slide tubes. An understanding of the invention can be derived
from a reading of exemplary claim 12, which appears in the
appendix to the appellant's brief.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
Herpich et al. (Herpich) 2,800,234 July
23, 1957
Telesio 3,899,090 Aug. 12,
1975
Claims 3, 8, 11 to 14 and 16 to 20 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Telesio in view of
Herpich.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and the appellant regarding the above-noted
rejection, we make reference to the examiner's answer (Paper
No. 10, mailed August 16, 1996) for the examiner's complete
reasoning in support of the rejection, and to the appellant's
