Appeal No. 2004-1354
Application 09/855,929
instead referring to the apertures in side walls (16, 17) shown
generally in Figure 1 and apparently associated with the bearings
(19a) of Dickhoff’s pivot arms (19, 20), we note that such
apertures are clearly not located “at said front side” of the
side walls of the folder unit as required and defined in claim 1
on appeal, and clearly do not form an opening “pointing down-
stream with respect to the product travel direction,” as recited
in appellants’ claim 1, which travel direction is from left to
right as seen in Figure 1 of Dickhoff (note, for example, col. 4,
lines 4-9, Fig. 3 and Fig. 8). Apertures associated with the
bearings (19a) in Dickhoff’S folder unit are instead located
adjacent the upstream side of walls panels (16, 17) and define
openings that clearly are arranged to point in a direction that
is essentially perpendicular to the product travel direction.
Since Dickhoff does not disclose or teach, either expressly
or inherently, each and every limitation of appellants’ claim 1,
or claims 2 through 5, 7, 8, 11 through 14, 16, 17, 19, 21 and 22
