Appeal No. 2000-1633 Page 2
Application No. 08/994,159
The appellant's invention relates generally to drive
wheels and more particularly to drive wheels having pivotally
mounted bogies to drive a chain (specification, p. 1). A copy
of the claims under appeal is set forth in the appendix to the
appellant's brief.
The prior art reference of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims is:
Durand 3,916,708 Nov. 4,
1975
Claims 1 to 6, 9, 12, 13, 15 and 16 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated by Durand.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and the appellant regarding the above-noted
rejection, we make reference to the answer (Paper No. 11,
mailed October 18, 1999) for the examiner's complete reasoning
in support of the rejection, and to the brief (Paper No. 10,
filed October 1, 1999) for the appellant's arguments
thereagainst.
