Appeal No. 1998-1847 Page 8 Application No. 08/540,095 without undue experimentation. The appellant's disclosure describes the claimed "snap buttons" on page 8 of the specification and shows the claimed "snap buttons" in Figures 1 and 3. From this disclosure, it is clear to us that each terminal end 104, 106 of the seat back mounting members 94, 96 receives a snap button 110 biased outwardly by a spring 112 to preclude removal of the seat back 100 once the terminal ends 104, 106 have been advanced entirely through their respective openings in the seat portion of a seat. The appellant's disclosure describes the claimed "openings" on page 7 of the specification and shows the openings in Figures 1 and 2. From this disclosure, it is clear to us that the claimed "openings" can be formed entirely within the seat portion, if so desired, or the openings defined in whole or in part, by recessed areas in the frame assembly, or the openings can consist of a pair of recesses 90, 92 formed in the lower surface of the seat portion which cooperate with the frame assembly to define the openings. It is our determination that this disclosure would have enabled a person of ordinary skill in the art to make and usePage: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
