Application No. 08/158,713
resiliently deformable member. We agree. Kato does not disclose
a fluid-tight module which is sealed prior to its assembly
against Kato's elastic body 14. Hoying does not disclose a
fluid-tight module which is sealed prior to its assembly against
a resiliently deformable member. Thus, the combined teachings of
Kato and Hoying would not have suggested a fluid-tight module
which is sealed prior to its assembly against the resiliently
deformable member. Accordingly, we cannot sustain the examiner's
rejection of appealed claim 12 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
