Application No. 08/352,513
trestle provided with the stop members in accordance with the
teachings of Reynolds would be capable of engaging an edge of
a sash thereby retaining the sash in a predetermined
orientation relative to the trestle (i.e., the static
support).
For the reasons set forth above, the decision of the
examiner to reject claim 8, and claims 10 through 12 dependent
thereon, under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed.
Claim 13
Claim 13 adds to parent claims 8 and 12 the limitation2
that the static support has "at least two elements that extend
from said at least one cross member, wherein said at least two
elements engage the two side edges of the peripheral frame at
points generally opposite each another."
Claim 12 reads as follows: "The static support according2
to Claim 8, wherein the sash has a peripheral frame of a
predetermined width that extends in between two side edges and
said at least one element engages at least one of the two side
edges of the peripheral frame, thereby preventing said free
standing support from inadvertently moving independently from
the peripheral frame."
