Ex parte HANSEN - Page 10




          Appeal No. 95-2580                                                          
          Application 08/110,958                                                      



          14 on appeal, at least to the same extent that appellant’s                  
          marking/ flange does in Figures 1 and 2 of the present                      
          application.                                                                


                    In light of the foregoing, we will sustain the                    
          examiner’s rejection of claims 1 and 12 through 14 under                    
          35 U.S.C. § 103 based on Hansen and Rose.                                   


                    We next look to the examiner’s rejection of                       
          dependent claims 2 and 3, and of independent claim 10 under 35              
          U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Hansen in view of                   
          Rose.  Claims 2 and 10 each require that the first                          
          longitudinal passage formed in  the inside wall of the neck of              
          the ampule be spaced from the longitudinal middle plane of the              
          ampule and located “in a plane perpendicular to said                        
          longitudinal middle plane.”  Claim 3 sets forth a second                    
          longitudinal passage/groove located diametrically opposite the              
          first longitudinal passage and requires that the first and                  
          second passages define “a plane forming a 90 degree angle with              
          said longitudinal middle plane.”  We find nothing in the                    

                                          10
