Appeal No. 98-0363
Application 08/740,389
overcome the deficiencies of Golkowski and Carman that we have
noted above.
In view of the foregoing, we will not sustain the
rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of claims 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 12-
17 and 20-23 as being unpatentable over Golkowski in view of
Carman and claims 5, 9-11 and 19 as being unpatentable over
Golkowski in view of Carman and Wootten.
Rejection (3)
The examiner's explanation of this rejection appears on
page 3 of the final rejection wherein it is stated that
"Carman is applied here to Marbach as it was applied above to
Golkowski." Marbach, however, appears even more remote from
the concept of providing for a means for pivotally attaching
the free end of the screen at the midpoint thereof than
Golkowski. That is, Marbach attaches the free end of the
screen along the entire lateral extent thereof by a plurality
of securing elements 14, obviously preventing any pivoting
movement whatsoever. Carman does not overcome this deficiency
