Appeal No. 2004-0315
Application No. 09/865,687
surfaces comprising an electrically conductive molding
composition A comprising a first base polymer and an electrically
conductive additive, and a core layer disposed between the skin
layer on the inner surface and the skin layer on the outer
surface comprising a plastic molding composition B (which differs
from molding composition A), wherein the skin layer on the inner
and outer surface provides a continuously conductive path from
the inner surface to the outer surface. This appealed subject
matter is adequately illustrated by independent claim 20 which
reads as follows:
20. A reinforced molding, comprising a wall which defines a
cavity, said wall having an outer surface and an inner surface
facing the cavity, wherein the wall comprises:
A) a skin layer on the inner and outer surface of said
reinforced molding, comprising an electrically conductive
plastic molding composition A comprising a first base
polymer and an electrically conductive additive; and
B) a core layer disposed between the skin layer on the inner
surface of the wall and the skin layer on the outer surface
of the wall comprising plastic molding composition B which
differs from molding composition A, and which comprises a
second base polymer and at least one reinforcing material,
wherein the skin layer on the inner and outer surface
provide a continuously conductive path from the inner
surface to the outer surface of the reinforced molding.
The reference set forth below is relied upon by the examiner
in the section 102 rejection before us:
