Appeal No. 1999-1524 Page 9
Application No. 08/938,051
Claims 1 and 26
Independent claims 1 and 26 also recite an accumulating
conveyor having a clasp and catch for connecting pallets
together which is not suggested by the applied prior art for
the reasons set forth above with respect to claim 15.
Accordingly, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1
and 26 under
35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
Claims 2 to 8, 14, 22, 24 and 27 to 31
In view of our decision above to reverse the rejection
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of independent claims 1, 15 and 16, it
follows that the decision of the examiner to reject dependent
claims 2 to 8, 14, 22, 24 and 27 to 31 under 35 U.S.C. § 103
is also reversed.
