              Application No. 10/014,084                                                                                                            
                                                  BACKGROUND                                                                                        
                     Appellants’ invention relates to a process for the production of filler-                                                       
              containing molded parts from at least two free-flowing reaction components.                                                           
              According to Appellants, at least one of the free-flowing chemical reaction                                                           
              components is divided into at least two portions and at least one of those portions                                                   
              is charged with filler before the reaction components are mixed. The reaction                                                         
              components are subsequently mixed in a manner such that the mixing ratio of the                                                       
              portions of the second component may be adjusted to vary the filler content of the                                                    
              molded part. The reaction mixture is then introduced into a mold. The reaction                                                        
              mixture is allowed to finish reacting in the mold and the molded part is removed                                                      
              from the mold.  (Brief, pp. 2-3).  Claim 1 is illustrative:                                                                           
                     1.  A process for the production of filler-containing molded parts from a                                                      
                             free-flowing reaction mixture comprising:                                                                              
                             a) mixing at least two free-flowing chemical reaction components                                                       
                             comprising                                                                                                             
                               (1) a first reaction component and                                                                                   
                               (2) a second reaction component which is divided into at least two portions                                          
                             and at least one of the two portions is charged with filler in a manner such that the                                  
                             mixing ratio of the portions of the second component may be adjusted to vary the                                       
                             filler content of the molded part,
