Application No. 09/082,957
figure 4 arrangement of Urasaki, this center line would be
vertical thus forming a predetermined angle of 90 degrees.
Contrary to the examiner’s position, the figure 5 arrangement of
Urasaki would not have suggested modifying the center line
disposition of patentee’s figure 4 arrangement. This is because
the figure 5 arrangement includes only one roller and therefore
does not even possess a center line much less show a center line
disposition which would have suggested modifying the vertical
disposition in patentee’s figure 4 arrangement.
For the above stated reasons, we cannot sustain the
examiner’s Section 103 rejection of claims 4 and 24 as being
unpatentable over Urasaki.
