          Appeal No. 1999-1499                                                        
          Application No. 08/764,736                                                  


          claims, to the applied prior art references, and to the                     
          respective positions articulated by the appellants and the                  
          examiner.  As a consequence of our review, we make the                      
          determinations which follow.                                                


               As a preliminary matter, our review of the application                 
          file reveals numerous points of objection in the appealed                   
          claims.  However, we have read and interpreted the claims in                
          light of appellants' disclosure, and make the following                     
          observations about claims 1 and 3 through 18 on appeal:                     


               In claim 1;                                                            
               line 4 "having two opposed arms, each arm having two                   
          brackets" should be --having two opposed brackets, each                     
          bracket having two arms--,                                                  
               line 5 "bore and" should be --bore; and--,                             
               lines 11-12 "said bearing including a depression on an                 
          end face" should be deleted because "a depression" and "an                  
          outer face" are previously defined in line 7 of claim 1, and                
               line 13 "said yoke" should be --said second yoke--.                    


                                          4
