Appeal No. 2003-0040 9
Application No. 09/314,079
circumferentially spaced holes, and a plurality of cooperating fasteners for securing the
coverplate to the cap 27. It follows that rejections (1), (5) and (8) will not be sustained.
As to the remaining rejections, we have carefully considered the Gruenwald,
Wollar, and Poupitch references additionally applied in these rejections, but find nothing
therein that makes up for the deficiencies of Papp, Dannhauser and Johnson discussed
above. Accordingly, rejections (2) to (4), (6), (7) and (9) to (12) also will not be
sustained.
The decision of the examiner finally rejecting the appealed claims is reversed.
