Appeal No. 95-1401
Application 07/885,364
reasoning, the sliding member 4 in Ohnuki corresponds to the
"guide piece installed in a structure unified with said first cam
pin" in claim 12 and member 4 has a "non-circular cross sectional
shape" as recited in claim 16.
Appellant argues (Brief, page 24):
OHNUKI does not disclose a guide piece structurally unified
with the first cam pin as recited herein. Nor does OHNUKI
disclose movable annular member attached to the annular cam
member. As can clearly be seen in the drawings of OHNUKI,
in each instance, the stationary member is intermediate the
movable member and the cam member.
The collar 5a in figure 4 corresponding to the "guide piece" is
structurally unified with the pin 5a. Also, the sliding member 4
attached to the driven pin 6 corresponds to the "guide piece
installed in a structure unified with said first cam pin." As
previously noted, it would have been obvious to extend the pin 6
through the member 4 in figure 1 to attach to the moving frame 3
in view of the showing of pin 5 in figure 4 extending through the
guide groove and the cam groove at the same time.
The moving frame 3 in Ohnuki corresponds to the "movable
annular member" and is "attached to said annular cam member in
such a manner as to permit said movable annular member to be
movable in an optical axis direction" because it is attached to
drive means 7, corresponding to the "annular cam member," through
sliding member 4 and driven pin 6 in figure 1 or through pin 5 in
