Application No. 08/729,602
could determine how to incorporate the bill-dispensing
apparatus of Wahlberg into the Dabrowski ‘728 machine, it
appears that this would involve a substantial reconstruction
of the Dabrowski ‘728 machine and would be contrary to
Dabrowski’s purpose of providing a relatively simple bill-
accepting unit which can be easily retrofitted into a coin-
accepting machine. We therefore do not consider that
Wahlberg’s disclosure of a somewhat complex apparatus which
can dispense change in the form of bills as well as coins
would have suggested to one of ordinary skill that the
Dabrowski ‘728 machine be modified by incorporating the
apparatus disclosed by Wahlberg so that it could dispense both
bills and coins.
Accordingly, rejection (5) will not be sustained.
Conclusion
The examiner’s decision to reject claims 1 to 26 is
reversed.
REVERSED
