          Appeal No. 1997-0461                                                         
          Application 08/267,683                                                       

          examiner's refusal to allow claims 23 through 31, all the                    
          claims remaining in this application.                                        
                                    THE INVENTION                                      
               The claimed invention is directed to lubricant and                      
          coolant compositions which are a dispersion of molybdenum                    
          disulfide powder in a liquid. According to appellant, the                    
          compositions are useful as metalworking lubricants,                          
          specifically, in high load, high stress applications such as                 
          broaching.                                                                   
               Claims 23, 30 and 31 are believed to be adequately                      
          representative of the appealed subject matter and are                        
          reproduced below for a more facile understanding of the                      
          appealed subject matter.                                                     
               Claim 23. A lubricant and coolant, consisting essentially               
               of:                                                                     
                                                                                      
               molybdenum disulfide powder; and                                        
                                                                                      
               a liquid in which the molybdenum disulfide                              
               powder is dispersed to form a liquid suspension.                        
                                                                                      
                                                                                      
               Claim 30. A lubricant and coolant                                       
               consisting essentially of molybdenum disulfide powder and               
               a liquid in which the molybdenum disulfide powder is                    
               dispersed to form a liquid suspension, said liquid                      
               consisting essentially of water and a soap emulsion.
