Appeal No. 2000-1333
Application No. 08/691,988
in
a regenerative heat exchanger. Claim 1 is illustrative and
reads as follows:1
1. A heating sheet bundle adapted to be mounted
tangentially or radially in trapezoidally segmented
cells
of a heating surface carrier of a regenerative heat
exchanger with stationary or revolving storage
masses,
the heating sheet bundle comprising a plurality of
profiled sheets mounted so as to be placed against each
other and forming flow ducts therebetween, wherein at
least two outer profiled sections on at least two
oppositely located sides of the bundle are constructed as
a pair of profiled
sheets connected in a sandwich-like manner so as to be
dimensionally stable, wherein one of the profiled sheets
of the pair of profiled sheets is undulated and another
of the profiled sheets of the pair of profiled sheets is
corrugated, each sheet having a rolling depth, and
wherein the rolling depth of the undulated sheet is greater
than the rolling depth of the corrugated sheet.
THE PRIOR ART
The references relied upon by the examiner as evidence of
1Contrary to the statement on page 2 in the examiner’s
answer (Paper No. 22), the copy of claim 1 in the appendix to
the appellants’ brief (Paper No. 21) is not correct because it
reflects the amendment filed October 13, 1998 (Paper No. 12)
which has not been entered. The record shows that the
examiner refused entry of the amendment when it was filed (see
the advisory action dated November 4, 1998, Paper No. 14) and
that the appellants did not direct that it be entered in their
subsequently filed request for a continued prosecution
application (Paper No. 15).
