Appeal No. 97-1086
Application 08/326,604
brief that claim 1 sets forth "separate shafts mounted on a
support member to be held spaced apart but parallel . . . ."
However, appellants have not then pointed out or specified
supposed errors in the examiner's rejection with regard to
claim 1, or provided an explanation of how limitations in
claim 1 would render the claimed subject matter therein
unobvious over the applied prior art reference to Gallone.
The examiner has taken the position that the embodiment of the
guide (13) in Figure 5 of Gallone includes separate upper and
lower guide bars defined respectively by the upper enlarged
portion of the guide (13) and the lower enlarged portion of
the guide (13) on which the roller sets (20) ride. These
"guide bars" are mounted on and supported by the intermediate
portion of the guide (13) and are held spaced apart
but extending parallel to each other. A holder member defined
by elements (14, 15, 14) in Figure 5 of Gallone carries the
upper and lower sets of rollers mounted thereon so that they
are spaced apart to receive the upper and lower guide bars.
