Appeal No. 97-0381
Application 08/324,108
The subject matter on appeal relates to a method of
manufacturing a pre-fabricated building wall. Claim 12 is
illustrative and reads as follows:
12. A method of manufacturing a wall for a manufactured
building, said method comprising:
providing a rectangular frame having opposite plate members
and studs extending between said plate members;
applying glue to said studs and said plate members;
placing wallboard in contact with said glue applied to said
studs and plate members;
attaching a rigid rail to said studs to overly and in
contact with the wallboard to urge said wallboard against said
studs as said glue cures; and 2
removing the rail when said glue has set.
The references relied upon by the examiner as evidence of
obviousness are:
Dawdy 4,069,640 Jan. 24, 1978
Kuhr 4,757,663 Jul. 19, 1988
2The language employed by the appellant to define the
“attaching” step in claim 12 is obviously garbled and is
deserving of correction in the event of further prosecution
before the examiner.
