Appeal No. 96-3158
Application 08/065,857
Husby “are capable of rupturing part of the single housing
[27, 28] at the cylindrical portion [near 50] and rupturing
part of the gas generator housing at the recess to activate
the propellant,” is based on total speculation, and, given the
combined thickness of the housing portions (27, 30) near
reference character (50) in Figure 2 of Husby, would appear to
be highly unlikely, if not impossible, especially since
reference character (50) in Husby designates an opening in the
housing (27, 28).
As should be apparent from the foregoing, we have refused
to sustain any of the rejections before us on appeal. Thus
the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1, 4, 8 and 9 of
the present application is reversed.
