Application No. 09/378,051
Claim 7 is drawn to a bowling ball insert comprising, inter
alia, a tubular body defining first and second finger openings at
opposite terminal ends, a first finger gripping member adjacent
the first finger opening, a second finger gripping member
adjacent the first finger opening and directly opposing and being
different than the first finger gripping member, a third finger
gripping member adjacent the second finger opening, a fourth
finger gripping member adjacent the second finger opening and
directly opposing and being different than the first (sic, third)
finger gripping member.4
Claim 13 recites a bowling ball assembly, comprising, inter
alia, a bowling ball, a resilient insert defining first and
second finger openings at opposite terminal ends of said body
(sic, insert),5 a first finger gripping member adjacent the first
4 The language in the penultimate paragraph of claim 7 is
informal, when read in light of the specification (page 2, lines
1 through 10), in referencing said “third” finger gripping member
(rather than said --fourth-- finger gripping member) directly
opposing said third gripping member, and in setting forth said
“first” finger gripping member rather than said --third-- finger
gripping member.
5 In lines 5 through 8 of claim 13, the phrases “said outer
wall surface” and “said body” (two occurrences) are informal in
that they have no explicit antecedent basis in the claim.
