Appeal No. 99-1173
Application 08/718,122
be removed , and certainly Schley does not teach, nor would3
one of ordinary skill desire, that the piston be punctured or
otherwise rendered incapable of any further use. Lederer
would, therefore, furnish no motive or suggestion for one of
ordinary skill to provide sharp points on the pin or pins 30
of Schley, since the purpose taught by Lederer for such
pointed pins, i.e., to puncture the item being rotated, would
be inimical to the manner in which the Schley tool is intended
to be used.
Rejection (2)
This rejection will not be sustained since the additional
reference, Hall, does not overcome the deficiency noted in the
combination of Schley and Lederer.
Conclusion
The examiner’s decision to reject claims 1 to 4, 6 to 13
and 15 to 21 is reversed.
REVERSED
3As Schley states at col. 1, lines 18 to 22, the piston is rotatably mounted to
provide sufficient clearance for the installation of brake pads.
