Appeal No. 98-2812
Application 08/473,054
showing of the curvature of the cushion barriers 52 in Figure 9, I conclude that Zehner necessarily
discloses elastic strands 56 of differing elastic power as that terminology has been defined by
appellants. I would affirm this rejection.
I would also affirm the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejections of dependent claims 7 and 9, inasmuch as
appellants premise the allowability of these claims on the absence of the differing elastic power limitation
of claim 1.
