Appeal No. 97-0695
Application No. 08/273,466
Claim 3 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Janssen in view of Ager, for the reasons set
forth above in the discussion of claims 4 through 6.
Claim 8 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Janssen in view of Ager, for the reasons set
forth above with respect to claim 3 and for the reasons set
forth below.
Dependent claim 8 adds to claim 3 the limitation that
each of the formed strips has a uniform cross-section along
its length.
As shown in Figures 1 to 3, Janssen's head mounting
section 20 without the serrations 24 has a uniform
cross-section along its length. Thus, the strips of wood
prior to forming the barbs therein as taught by Ager would
have a uniform cross-section along their length.
CONCLUSION
20
