and position adjustment means or deflector (Haines' bores 64
and 66, disc 65, bolt 67, nut 68, and rollers 75 and 76).
Claim 1 recites "said motive wheel being located between
said thrust ring and said driven wheel." This limitation is
not found in Haines as applied by the examiner. In that
regard, as clearly shown in Figure 2 of Haines, the motive
wheel (Haines' disc 39) is not located between the thrust ring
(Haines' disclike plate 45) and the driven wheel (Haines' disc
41).
Claim 9 recites "a plurality of axially movable pins . .
. to rigidly connect the thrust ring to the driven wheel."
This limitation is not found in Haines as applied by the
examiner. In that regard, as clearly shown in Figure 2 of
Haines, the thrust ring (Haines' disclike plate 45) is welded
to the driven wheel (Haines' disc 41) via portion 46. Thus, 6
Haines' bolts 51 and 57 (i.e., pins) do not rigidly connect
6see column 2, lines 39-43, of Haines.
