Appeal No. 97-1426 Application 08/380,125 width of the second housing portion, and with the first sides of the housings of at least two roll stands being arranged in confronting relationship, as explicitly set forth in claim 4. Since the evidence of obviousness is lacking, as indicated, the rejection of claim 4 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 must be reversed. In summary, this panel of the board has: reversed the rejection of claim 4 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, as being indefinite; and reversed the rejection of claim 4 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Japan '204 in view of Matsuo. The decision of the examiner is reversed. REVERSED HARRISON E.
