central portion at what appears to be 90 degree angles
rather than an obtuse angles. With respect to appealed
claim 1, no other limitations are argued as differences over
the Kazmerchek reference.
The Vom Brauke reference discloses a push cart handle
having two hand grip sections 5 and a horizontal central
portion 6 in the region between the hand grip sections. Vom
Brauke’s hand grip sections are angled in the same manner as
appellant’s hand grip sections in that they not only are
inclined forwardly in a longitudinal direction as shown in
Figure 3, but also are inclined laterally inwardly toward
each other at acute angles B with respect to vertical planes
extending parallel to the cart’s longitudinal axis as shown
in Figure 4 of the patent drawings. The angle B that each
of Vom Brauke’s hand grip sections makes with a vertical,
longitudinally extending plane and the obtuse angle recited
in appealed claim 1 are related in that one is merely the
complement of the other.
