Appeal No. 1997-4279
Application No. 08/486,702
The rejection of claim 1
We affirm the rejection of claim 1 under 35 U.S.C. § 103
as being unpatentable over the German reference in view of
Klebanow. It follows that the rejection of claims 2 through 5,
7, 11 through 13, and 27 through 30 on this same ground is
likewise
affirmed, since these claims stand or fall with claim 1, as
earlier indicated.
Claim 1 is drawn to an apparatus for applying a coating
material to a plurality of sheets as the sheets are conveyed
past the apparatus, comprising, inter alia, (a) means for
overlapping a plurality of sheets to form overlapped sheets,
(b) a coating station comprising means for at least "partially
drying" an adhesive coating, and (c) means for collecting
adhesive coated sheets.
