Appeal No. 1997-0524
Application No. 08/495,699
said sealing member having a preselected coefficient of
expansion compatible with the coefficient of expansion of said
pin and said wall defining said aperture and a softening point
temperature in excess of the conductive heat temperature
adjacent the surrounded periphery surface area of the pin
occasioned by melting of said fuse to avoid melting and
venting through said sealing member.
The Examiner relies on the following prior art:
Bowsky et al. (Bowsky) 4,584,433 Apr. 22,
1986
LeMieux et al. (LeMieux) 4,609,774 Sep.
02,
1986
Claims 1-6 and 9 stand finally rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 as being unpatentable over Bowsky in view of LeMieux.
Rather than reiterate the arguments of Appellants and the
Examiner, reference is made to the Brief and Answer for the
respective details thereof.
OPINION

appeal, the rejection advanced by the Examiner, and the
evidence
