Appeal No. 99-1479
Application 08/609,991
runs on the upper (undulating) flange of pull-out runner 4 (as
shown in Figs. 6 and 7), and horizontal fin 18 projects below
the upper flange of member 14 to prevent upward lifting away
of the pull-out runner (page 4, lines 10 to 13; page 8, lines
10 to 14).
However, there are certain limitations of claim 14
which we do not find in Grass AG. First of all, claim 14
recites that the pull-out runner includes:
a lower fixing flange to be connected to
the drawer, a vertical flange extending
upwardly from said lower fixing flange, an
upper running flange extending from said
vertical flange, at least one horizontal
fin extending laterally from said vertical
flange, and a running member.
As discussed above, runner 4 of Grass AG includes a horizontal
fin 18 and a running member 11. Also, as shown in Fig. 2,
there is a vertical flange extending upwardly from the fin and
an upper running flange (the undulating flange with groove 15)
which extends from the vertical flange. Grass AG does not,
however, disclose "a lower fixing flange to be connected to
the drawer" from which this vertical flange extends upwardly,
