              Appeal No. 2001-1628                                                                  Page 8                
              Application No. 09/054,794                                                                                  


              along the inner surface of the wall of the venturi since air from air flow path 18 is                       
              injected along the inner surface of the wall of the venturi and therefore would space the                   
              airflow discharged from Shekleton's air assist tube 34 from the inner surface of the wall                   
              of the venturi.                                                                                             


                     For the reasons set forth above, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1                     
              to 7 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
