Appeal No. 2000-1354 Page 9
Application No. 08/894,129
Thus, the claimed first and third positions are not taught by Morita.
Since all the limitations of claim 14 are not disclosed by
Morita, the decision of the examiner to reject claim 14, and
claims 15 to 28 dependent thereon, under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is
reversed.
Claims 29 to 33
We will not sustain the rejection of claims 29 to 33
under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b).
Independent claim 29 reads as follows:
In a sheetworking center having a body, a worktable
whereon a sheet to be worked is placed, and means for
holding and moving said sheet on said table, apparatus
comprising:
upper and lower tools for fabricating said sheet at
a working level;
upper transfer means for driving said upper tool in
a direction perpendicular to the plane of said sheet; and
lower transfer means for driving said lower tool
along said direction in alignment with said upper tool to
a position below said working level, said lower transfer
means further driving said lower tool from said position
to said working level for fabricating said sheet.
