Appeal 2007-1135
Application 09/986,264
13. that “the separate layers of the substrate sheet can be manufactured
to have different colors, thereby helping the user to further
distinguish the surfaces” (Beck 12: 23-27).
14. that
each of the layers of the articles as well as the articles
themselves may be made into a wide variety of shapes
and forms including flat pads, thick pads, thin sheets, ball
shaped implements, irregularly shaped implements. The
exact size of the layers will depend upon the desired use
and characteristics of the article and may range in surface
area size from about a square inch to about hundreds of
square inches.
(Beck 12: 28-32.)
15. “that the first and second substrate layers may be surface modified
to form a single composite layer having 2 surfaces or sides with
different textures. Thus, in effect, the substrate sheet can be
construed as comprising a single composite layer with dual
textured sides or surfaces” (Beck, 12: 12-13).
16. that “compounds which react exothermically when combined with
water may also be optionally included in the articles of the present
invention” (Beck 42: 25-26). For example, Beck teaches a skin
cleansing and conditioning article that comprises, in addition to a
cleansing component, aluminosilicate (Beck 96: 15-18). The
aluminosilicate generates heat due to an exothermic reaction upon
exposure to water (Beck 96: 18-19).
17. “additional layers are suitable for enhancing the overall
grippability of the side of the article closest to the hand or other
means of exerting mechanical action on the surface to be cleansed
and therapeutically treated” (Beck 54: 1-3).
