Appeal No. 97-4084
Application 08/330,672
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims
1 through 3, 12, 15 and 17 through 19, and the examiner's
refusal to allow claims 4, 10, 14 and 16 as amended after
final rejection. Claims 6 through 9, 11 and 20 through 22
stand withdrawn from consideration as subject to a restriction
requirement. Claim 13 has been indicated as directed to
allowable subject matter. It stands objected to. These
are all the claims remaining in the application.
The claimed invention is directed to a hollow elon-
gated tubular member for use in connecting two structural
elements at a joint. The hollow elongated member has an
interior passage which receives adhesive injected therein. At
the distal end of the passage, a radial passage is configured
to allow the adhesive to escape from the tubular member and
fill the bore hole that the elongated tubular member is placed
in. A further understanding of the subject matter on appeal
can be garnered from the appealed claims which are appended to
appellant's Appeal Brief.
