Appeal No. 1997-4441
Application 08/370,095
to accept the slower speed. Although not discussed, the
support plate 18 in Brook which forms the weigh pan appears to
be about the same length as the distance between rods 11 and
12. However, none of these reasons have been advanced by the
Examiner. In any case, we find no motivation in the
references for the combination.
We have considered Harwood with respect to claim 11 but
find that it does not cure the deficiencies in Born and Brook.
Accordingly, the rejection of claim 11 is reversed.
CONCLUSION
The rejections of claims 1, 3-7, 9, and 11 are reversed.
REVERSED
