Appeal No. 96-3961
Application No. 08/295,268
that any such reinforcement plate is on the opposite side of a
single substrate from a hub portion. Accordingly, since all
the limitations of independent claim 6 are not suggested by the
applied prior art, we cannot sustain the Examiner’s rejection
of independent claim 6 and claims 7 and 8 which depend
therefrom under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
In summary, we have not sustained any of the Examiner’s
rejections of appealed claims 1-8. Therefore, the decision of
the Examiner rejecting claims 1-8 is reversed.
