Appeal No. 95-2598
Application 08/021,230
supporting shoulder (8) of the tape feed assembly (6), or to
other of the individual constituent units of the assembly that
are removably mounted to the shoulder (8). Appellant indicates
on page 3 of the brief, that
[b]y providing a feed assembly which is
removable from the vertically moveable head
as a unit, and which also incorporates each
of the recited constituent components in such
a fashion that permits them to be independ-
ently disassembled from one another, the tape
machine of the present invention can be much
more easily repaired and serviced than those
known in the prior art.

matter on appeal and a copy of that claim is attached to this
decision.
