Appeal No. 1999-2365
Application 08/569,999
(II) Whether the specification and/or drawings should be
objected to, or claims rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, in view
of the following:
(i) There is a discrepancy between Figs. 1 and 2. In Fig. 2,
one edge of the blanket is shown as folded over, as it
apparently would have to be in order for the male portion of
the snaps 70 along one edge to engage the female portion of
the snaps 70 along the other edge; this puts one end (the
right end in Fig. 2) of draw cord 32 inside the folded
blanket. However, in Fig. 1, of which Fig. 2 purports to be
an enlarged end view, neither of the engaged edges of the
blanket is shown as folded over, and both ends of each of the
draw cords 32 extend beyond the edges of the blanket. Also,
in Fig. 2 the unengaged parts of the fasteners 70 are not
shown (unlike in Figs. 7 and 12).
(ii) On page 13, lines 13 to 15, the first flexible covering
20 is described as being an insulating layer 21 and a shell
