Appeal No. 2005-1716
Application No. 10/200,903
The subject matter on appeal relates to a trolley assembly
(independent claim 1), a mounting structure comprising a trolley
assembly and a stud assembly (independent claim 6) and a moveable
door mounting assembly comprising a track, a trolley assembly and
a stud assembly (independent claim 10). With reference to the
appellant’s drawing, the trolley assembly 106 comprises a spring-
biased cam piece 206 having a locking surface 315 for
frictionally engaging a surface of track 102. In this way, the
trolley assembly can be placed in a locking position (shown in
figure 5A) until it is engaged with stud assembly 108 whereupon
stud catch surface 312 interacts with cam catch surface 314 to
thereby move cam piece 206 to the normal position (shown in
figure 5B). This appealed subject matter is adequately
represented by independent claim 1 which reads as follows:
1. A trolley assembly for a mounting structure in a
movable door mounting assembly having a track, comprising:
a carriage that moves the trolley assembly along the
track; and
a cam piece coupled to the carriage and pivotable
between a normal position and a locking position, wherein
and 17 which depend therefrom) since this independent claim is
limited to the very features in claims 2 and 8 which the examiner
now considers to be allowable. In light of our disposition of
this appeal, these apparent inconsistencies need not be further
discussed.
