Appeal No. 1997-1409
Application 08/297,399
The Examiner relies on the following prior art:
Hill Des. 195,322 May 28, 1963
Knudsen 2,246,737 June 24, 1941
Baum 2,487,038 November 8, 1949
Huntress 4,055,233 October 25, 1977
Falco 4,867,149 September 19, 1989
The specification stands objected to, and claims 3, 6,
and 7 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph,
based on a lack of written description in the specification,
as originally filed, for the phrase "with the area radially
outside . . . said band means."
Claims 1 and 3-8 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,
second paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to
particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject
matter which applicant regards as his invention.
Claims 1, 4, 5, and 8 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 as being unpatentable over Falco in view of either
Hill, Baum, or Huntress.
Claim 3 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Falco in view of either Hill, Baum, or
Huntress, as applied in the rejection of claim 1, further in
view of Knudsen.
