            Appeal No. 1998-0106                                                      
            Application No. 08/377,753                                                


            rings are arranged such that the hub is capable of being                  
            assembled to the outer gear ring in only one position of                  
            the inner gear ring relative to the outer gear ring.                      


                 The foregoing distinctive features solves a problem of               
            increased wear of parts which occurs when the hub or inner                
            gear ring is not reassembled in its original position                     
            relative to the outer gear ring and when the spherical cups               
            are not reassembled in their original positions relative to               
            the outer gear ring.                                                      

                 The Takeda patent discloses a corrugated cardboard                   
            box-making machine having feed unit 1, a printing unit 2                  
            and a slotting unit 3.  The feed unit has a kicker shaft 18               
            for delivering seriatim cardboard sheets or blanks to the                 
            printing unit 2.  The printing unit has a printing cylinder               
            23 for applying printed matter to the sheet.  The printed                 
            sheet is then delivered to the slotting unit where shaft                  
            driven knives cut slots at predetermined locations in the                 
            printed sheet.  The motor driven gear transmission for                    
            operating units 1-3 includes couplings 27, 28 for                         
            disconnecting sections of the gear transmission.  The                     
            disconnection of the transmission sections enables units
