Appeal No. 95-3940
Application 08/206,022
Appellants argue that there is no motivation to
replace the innermost wire wrap of Kolmes Figure 5 with a
fiber wrap. After reviewing the disclosure of Kolmes,
we agree with the appellants. Although Kolmes does disclose
that the positions of the wire wrap 22 and fiber wrap 24 in
figure 2 may be reversed, there is no suggestion in Kolmes
that one of the wire wraps 22' in figure 5 be replaced with a
fiber wrap. In addition, fiber wrap 24 is closely wrapped and
thus, if placed next to the core would not be "widely spaced"
as recited in claim 54 from which claims 55, 58, 60 and 61
depend. In view of the foregoing, we will not sustain the
rejection of the examiner.
The decision of the examiner is reversed.
REVERSED
