Appeal No. 99-0214 Page 9
Application No. 08/372,126
Claim 13 adds to claim 12 the requirement that the axial
extent of the groove be approximately 20-30% of the axial
length of the inner lateral surface of the seat, and claim 14
that the inclined side is inclined at about fifteen degrees.
As we explained above in our refusal to sustain the rejections
of claims 8 and 15, it is our view that these limitations would
not have been obvious in view of the record before us, and for
the same reasons we will not sustain the rejection of claims 13
and 14.
SUMMARY
The rejection of claims 8-11 and 13-18 is not sustained.
The rejection of claim 12 is sustained.
The decision of the examiner is affirmed-in-part.
