Appeal No. 1999-1057
Application No. 08/848,719
derived from a reading of exemplary claims 18 and 19. Since
the copies of claims 18 and 19 in the brief are not accurate
copies of those claims, we rely upon the actual claims in the
file, as amended (Paper Nos. 3 and 5).
As evidence of obviousness, the examiner has applied the
documents listed below: 1
Buyze 3,486,218 Dec. 30, 1969
Stehle 3,809,192 May 7, 1974
Moore et al 4,263,992 Apr. 28, 1981
(Moore)
Fisher et al 4,742,948 May 10, 1988
(Fisher)
Tait et al 2,228,053 Aug. 15, 1990
(Tait)(Great Britain)
1On page 2 of the answer, a patent to Gassiat is listed.
Since none of the examiner’s rejections rely upon this
document, it appears to us that its inclusion was inadvertent
and in error. Thus, no further comment will be made relative
thereto.
