Appeal No. 99-0612 Page 3
Application No. 08/772,958
BACKGROUND
The appellants' invention relates to a braze bracket for
being brazed to a tube or a duct of an aircraft engine. The
braze bracket includes "a braze surface which is brazed to an
engine tube or duct" (specification, page 1) and a plurality
of tangs extending from the braze surface. The braze bracket
of the invention is attached to a main bracket body using the
plurality of tangs. After the braze bracket has been brazed
to the engine tube or duct and attached to the main bracket
body, the resulting assembly is secured to the aircraft engine
(specification, page 2). A further understanding of the
invention can be derived from a reading of exemplary claims 1,
8 and 14, which appear in the appendix to the appellants'
brief.
The prior art reference of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims is:
