Appeal No. 2002-1799 Page 2
Application No. 09/353,592
outer container including an inner container there within. The
inner container holds a polymerizable or cross-linkable material.
A rate modifier, such as an initiator, accelerator or inhibitor
for the polymerizable or cross-linkable material, is normally
maintained separate from, or in non-contacting relationship with,
the polymerizable or cross-linkable material in such an
applicator. See, e.g. the paragraph bridging pages 9 and 10 of
appellants’ specification.
Appellants state that the “rejected claims stand or fall
together” (brief, page 3, item No. V.). Consequently, we select
claim 1 as the representative claim in deciding this appeal. See
37 CFR § 1.192(c)(7)(2000). Representative claim 1 is
reproduced below.
1. An applicator for dispensing a polymerizable
or cross-linkable material, comprising:
an outer container;
an inner container disposed within said outer
container, said inner container containing a
polymerizable or cross-linkable material; and
a rate modifier for said polymerizable or cross-
linkable material disposed on an outer surface of said
inner container.
