Appeal No. 2005-1826
Application No. 10/210,046
non-rectangular corner support 42a, 42b, and a
substantially rectangular corner support 44a, 44b
[column 3, lines 39-52].
In applying Kanter against claim 1, the examiner focuses on
the corner support embodiment illustrated in Figure 8 which is a
variation of non-rectangular corner supports 42a and 42b:
Illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9 is another embodiment
of the corner supports 40 of the non-rectangular type.
A corner support 42c is similar to that of the support
42a of FIG. 3, with similar elements being referenced
with the same reference number. The height of the
first and second panel sections 50 and 58 of the corner
support 42c are substantially less than the height of
the adjacent wall panels 18 and 20, the corner support
42c having a lower end 59 as shown. The first edge 52
of the first panel section 50 is attached pivotally to
the inner face 17 of the first wall panel 18 via the
glue panel 54 in a like manner as shown and described
with reference to FIG. 3. Here, however, the glue
panel 54 has a lower section 104 that extends below the
lower end 59 of the corner support 42c to the corner 26
(see FIG. 9). The first edge 60 of the second panel 58
is pivotally attached to the inner face 17 of the
second wall panel 20 via the second glue panel 62. The
reinforcing panel 91, folded over at the top end 14 and
glued to the panel 20 has a lower section 106 that
extends below the lower end 59 of the corner support
42c to the corner 26 (see FIG. 9).
With reference to FIG. 9, it is seen that the
corner support 42c is formed and cut from the first
glue panel 54 (here a reinforcing panel) and
reinforcing panel 91 by making horizontal cuts 108,
108b (the cut 108b forming the lower end 59 of the
corner support 42c) and a vertical cut 110 (forming the
end 66) to leave a cut-out 112 [column 7, lines 32-58].
