Appeal No. 95-4588
Application 08/127,123
frictional material containing lubricating oil and also in-
clude an oil-containing cavity (30) formed in the lining
itself
so that the oil contained in the lining
itself and the oil held in the cavity 30
both flow as indicated by arrows S, thereby
dispersing the frictional heat. Therefore,
in this case, a higher cooling effect can
be achieved than in the conventional brake
band (specification, page 5).
Independent claim 10, one of two independent claims
on appeal, is representative of the claimed subject matter and
a copy of that claim, as it appears in the Appendix to appel-
lants' brief, is attached to this decision.
