Appeal No. 1998-1465
Application No. 08/445,926
The screws pass through magnet plates carrying the magnet
assemblies and are inserted into projections from the
castings. Thus, we find no disclosure in Moon of the magnet
assemblies being mounted by base casting zero draft
geometries. Further, the examiner has failed to provide us
with any line of reasoning, no less a convincing line of
reasoning, as to why the skilled artisan would have modified
Moon to have the pole-piece magnet assemblies mounted by base
casting die-cast generated zero draft geometries.
Accordingly, we cannot sustain the rejection of claim 2 over
Moon in view of Roddy.
CONCLUSION
The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1, 2, 4, 6,
and 8 through 10 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed with
respect to claim 2 and affirmed with respect to the remaining
claims. Accordingly, the examiner's decision is affirmed-in-
part.
