Appeal No. 1999-1057
Application No. 08/848,719
We procedurally reverse each of the rejections on appeal
for the reasons articulated below.
Claim 18 is drawn to a method of making a brake disk for
a motor vehicle, comprising, inter alia, discrete ribs
unreleasably connecting two individual friction rings (from a
material selected from the carbon group) with each other in a
form-locking and force-locking manner to form the brake disk
with internal ventilation.
Claim 19 sets forth a disk for a vehicle disk brake,
comprising, inter alia, generally radially extending ribs for
form-lockingly force-lockingly connecting individual carbon
friction rings with each other and configured to form air
ducts for internal ventilation.
We are unable to comprehend the meaning of the language
"in a form-locking and force-locking manner" (claim 18) and
"form-lockingly force-lockingly" (claim 19) in the context in
which each recitation is used in the respective claims. Each
of these recitations does not appear in the original
