Appeal 2007-0512
Application 10/310,744
5. Appellants describe the hot air nozzle in terms of Figure 6, shown
here:
opening 34 comprises large openings 36a and 36b and a
restricted opening portion 38 between 36a and 36b. It was
found that the restricted opening portion 38 still allows
sufficient outflow of heated air to sufficiently soften the
overlapping portion of the thermoplastic sheets over and under
the fastening means in order to weld the thermoplastic sheets
together over the interposed fastening means.
(Specification at 9, emphasis added.)
