Appeal No. 1997-2910
Application 08/421,387
the radiator fins of Depew would provide better cooling
capability, while in the second case, the inner and outer
rings of Zelinka or Van Warmerdam would provide better support
for the radiator fins of Depew.
We fail to find any evidence that Depew would
provide better cooling capability or that the inner and outer
rings of Zelinka or Van Warmerdam would be needed for better
support for the Depew radiator. Depew clearly teaches that
the radiator 39 is rigidly secured to the radiator cup 36 by a
high melting point solder 44. See column 8, lines 3 through
17. Thus, Depew does not need the inner and outer rings for
further support. Turning to Van Warmerdam, figure 2 shows
that the inner and outer rings are needed because they need to
support cooling fins 6 that are individual pieces. Similarly,
Zelinka shows the same principle in that radiator fins 23 are
supported by inner and outer rings because they are individual
pieces. Thus, Van Warmerdam and Zelinka certain do not
suggest the use of inner and outer rings to support a single
piece radiator 39 as taught in Depew.
