Appeal No. 1998-2945 Page 3
Application No. 08/624,734
BACKGROUND
The appellant's invention relates to a power cylinder
piston (claims 1 and 4 through 6) and a damped power cylinder
system (claims 7 and 12 through 15). An understanding of the
invention can be derived from a reading of exemplary claims 1
and 7 (the independent claims on appeal), which appear in the
appendix to the appellant's brief.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims (i.e., the applied
prior art) are:
Diesing et al. 3,002,500 Oct.
3, 1961
(Diesing)
Isham 3,013,816 Dec. 19,
1961
Taylor et al. 4,815,574 Mar. 28,
1989
Claims 1, 4, 5 and 6 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103
as being unpatentable over Taylor.
