Appeal No. 1997-2850 Page 6
Application No. 08/417,505
Even assuming, arguendo, that Narita did disclose a first
and second securing means, as alleged by the examiner, it is
still not clear why the artisan would have been led to modify
Sugizaki in a manner so as to arrive at the instant claimed
subject matter nor is it clear how such a modification would be
made.
The Tezuka reference, cited by the examiner, in
combination with Sugizaki and Narita, against claims 14 through
17, fails to provide the deficiencies, noted supra, with regard
to Sugizaki and Narita.
The examiner’s decision rejecting claims 2 through 8 and
11 through 20 under 35 U.S.C. 103 is reversed.
REVERSED
