Application No. 08/837,242
dependent thereon, are anticipated by Miilu. For similar
reasons, claims 1 and 11 are likewise anticipated, the various
elements recited therein being disclosed by Miilu.
Claim 8, dependent on claim 1, recites “a frame, . . . ,
said motor and said operably connecting means disposed in said
frame.” Miilu discloses a “simple generally flat mounting
base 204" (col. 2, lines 26 and 27) connected to the side rail
202 and having upstanding bosses 212, 222 and 224. As shown
in Fig. 2,
the motor 214 extends from boss 212, the gear train is located
between bosses 212 and 224, and the threaded spindle 228
extends between bosses 222 and 224, with other parts 226, 228,
etc. of the apparatus connecting the motor to the keeper 234
extending
above and beyond boss 222 and guide block 230. Assuming that
members 204, 212, 222, 224 and 230 of Miilu constitute a
“frame”
(the examiner refers only to element 212), we do not consider
that Miilu’s motor and connecting means can be considered to
be “disposed in said frame” (emphasis added), as recited in
claim 8.
