Appeal No. 96-4104 Application 08/262,231 to be effective by relatively rotating adjacent laminas, but rather by alternately stacking two different laminas, the spacing means on one being positioned differently from the spacing means on the other. Absent any disclosure of relative rotation of adjacent laminas by Diederichs, there would be no suggestion to one of ordinary skill to provide Neuenschwander with a means for relatively rotating adjacent laminas to offset their spacing means. Accordingly, the examiner’s decision to reject claims 8 to 12 and 24 to 27 is reversed. REVERSED IAN A. CALVERT ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) NEAL E.
