          Appeal No. 97-1025                                                          
          Application No. 08/183,571                                                  


          Therefore, claim 20 and claim 38 dependent thereon are not                  
          supported by the originally filed disclosure.                               


               Additionally, we have determined from our review of the                
          appealed claims and the originally filed disclosure that the                
          following items are not supported by the originally filed                   
          disclosure: (1) "said control means includes a plurality of                 
          control pads positioned . . . in at least one open at one side              
          recess" wherein the control means is positioned on the hub member           
          as recited in claim 3; (2) "said control means include a                    
          plurality of control pads positioned . . . in at least one open             
          at one side recess" wherein the control means is positioned on              
          the connecting member as recited in claim 35; and (3) "said                 
          control pads are positioned in at least one open at one side                
          recess" wherein the control pads  are positioned on the spoke               
          member as recited in claim 43.  Therefore, claims 3, 35 and 43              
          and claims 8, 10, 11, 20, 38, 40 to 42 and 44 dependent thereon             
          are not supported by the originally filed disclosure.                       


          Indefiniteness                                                              
               Claim 35 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second                     
          paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to particularly point            

                                          21
