Appeal No. 95-2911
Application 07/814,693
Kato teaches in Figure 7 a carriage 38 and a part separate
from the carriage, a needle 39c for engagement with a thread
groove 21 of the feed screw. Thus, Kato does not teach the above
limitations recited in Appellant’s claim 5. Furthermore, we note
that the Examiner has stated in the answer and the supplemental

In column 3, line 50, through column 4, line 11, and
illustrated in Figures 2A and 2B, Tanaka teaches a carriage 16

engagement with a thread groove of the threaded shaft 210. Thus,
Tanaka does not teach the above limitations recited in
Appellant’s claim 5.
In column 3, line 66, through column 4, line 39, and
illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, Inoue teaches a carriage 18 and

the Examiner points to column 1, lines 27-31, for the teaching
that the carriage and the pin may be formed as a unitary member.
Inoue states in column 1, lines 25-31,
