Appeal No. 96-1869
Application 08/086,494
Appellants’ disclosed invention pertains to a glide slope
antenna disposed on the leading edge of the nose gear door of
an aircraft. An understanding of the invention can be derived
from a reading of exemplary independent claims 1, 3, 9 through
11, and 16, copies of which appear in the “Appendix of Claims”
section of the brief (Paper No. 13 ).
As evidence of obviousness, the examiner has applied the
documents listed below:3

(Stapleton)
Young 3,868,693 Feb. 25, 1975
Noble et al. 4,255,752 Mar. 10, 1981
(Noble)
Miles et al. 2,193,381 Feb. 3, 1988
(Miles)
(Great Britain)
“guide” (lines 1 and 2) instead of --glide--, the copy of claim 4 (line 2) omits --of
said-- (before “side”), and the copy of claim 7 (line 2) sets forth “cloth” instead of -
-bolts--.
3The Stapleton (U.S. Patent No. 3,662,392) and Young (U.S. Patent No. 3,868,693)
patents were discussed by appellants on page 1 of the specification.
