Appeal 2007-1925
Application 09/391,869
6. The Specification discusses that the pocket insert may be
automatically collated along with the pages:
For example, the pages may be collated
automatically as they are copied on a copier. Some
copiers provide a supplemental tray to collate a
supplement page along with the copied pages, i.e.,
a supplemental page onto which no information is
being applied to the page. The pocket insert of this
invention is suitable for such copying
environments, thereby permitting the insert to be
collated automatically with the various pages while
the pages are being photocopied. For this
embodiment, the pocket insert should be
assembled of standard weight paper, and it is
important that the insert is arranged in the collator
tray such that edge 12 (this edge having a single-
sheet thickness) is pushed by the copier roller
during collation.
(Specification 6:31 – 7:10). The Specification thus provides no
detailed description of what thickness is required to render the insert
passable through a copier or printer in sequence with a sheet of paper
other than to say that “the pocket insert should be assembled of
standard weight paper.” Id.
