Appeal No. 1999-0213 Page 2
Application No. 08/814,550
The claims on appeal are drawn to a tool kit for placement
on a front tire of a cab-over-engine tractor, and are
reproduced in the appendix of appellant’s brief.2
The reference applied in the final rejection is:
Vaccaro 3,618,749 Nov. 9,
1971
Claims 1 to 3, 5 to 11, 13, 14, 16 to 21 and 23 stand
finally rejected as anticipated by Vaccaro, under 35 U.S.C.
102(b).
Appellant’s arguments as to why he does not consider claim
1 to be anticipated by Vaccaro may be summarized as follows:
(1) Vaccaro does not disclose sloped front and rear sections;
only the top surfaces of Vaccaro’s front and rear sections are
sloped (brief, pp. 7 and 10).
2Although the claims are drawn to a “tool kit,” we note
that no tools are claimed.
