Appeal 2007-1364
Application 10/437,576
12. Stobb does not teach what material to use to construct the timing belt 93,
nor does Stobb teach or suggest the need for reinforcing those sections of
the timing belts which are configured to receive a knife blade or cutter.
As such, reinforcing sections of the timing belts does not necessarily flow
from the teachings of Stobb.
13. Motooka teaches a pinless folding machine capable of folding sheets cut
from a web with high folding precision (Motooka, col. 2, ll. 48-52).
14. According to an embodiment of Motooka, the machine includes a folding
drum 23, a second cutter device 25, a second cutter receiver drum 26, a
folding blade device 29, a sawtooth cutter blade 31 and clamping claws
32 (Motooka, col. 3, l. 63 to col. 4, l. 2).
15. The machine further includes a plurality of narrow drum-round conveyor
belts 24 disposed around the folding drum 23 (Motooka, col. 4, ll. 10-15).
16. The cutting device 25 is disposed on the folding drum 23 for cutting the
web such that it is completely cut across its entire width (Motooka, col. 4,
ll. 18-26).
17. Appellants’ Specification does not define the terms anvil or anvil
element. The Specification describes, however, the function of the
rotating anvil element 16 is to provide support for the rotating band-
shaped conveying element in such a manner that the band-shaped
conveying element provides counter-pressure for the cutting blade during
the cutting operation (Specification 2:[0007]).
