Appeal No. 1999-0272 Page 13
Application No. 08/605,212
(1982) defines "carriage" as "[a] moving part of a machine for
holding or shifting another part." Ward's gear box 36 is not
a carriage since it is not a moving part of a machine for
holding or shifting another part. Likewise, Gurevich's
support within which his cranks 26 and 27 are located is not a
carriage since it is not a moving part of a machine for
holding or shifting another part.
For the reasons set forth above, the decision of the
examiner to reject claims 8, 18, 22, 24 and 25 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 is reversed.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject
claims 8, 10, 12 and 14 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second
paragraph, is reversed; the decision of the examiner to reject
claims 7, 16 and 17 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed; and the
decision of the examiner to reject claims 8, 18, 22, 24 and 25
under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 is reversed.
