Appeal No. 2000-0816
Application No. 08/938,875
84, 86, 87 and 90-107 have been canceled. These are all of
the claims in the application.
The claimed invention is directed to an improvement in a
saw tooth profile for saw blades. The disclosed teeth have
their front or leading faces and their rear or trailing faces
formed by opposite leading radius gullets. The gullets are
beveled toward opposite sides of the blade. The curved
cutting edge is formed on the front edge of each tooth by the
intersection of the leading face and a planar surface on the
side of each tooth. The planar surface is generally parallel
to the beveled gullet of the trailing face of the tooth.
Claim 1, a copy of which is appended to the brief, is
further illustrative of the claimed subject matter.
The references of record relied upon by the examiner as
evidence of obviousness are:
