Appeal 2007-2203
Application 10/311,659
Krabatsch Figure 1 shows a battery cell cover 1 having an insert 21
extending through the cover 1 and locked thereto. Abstract. Insert 21
includes a filler tube 23 for filling the battery cell. Abstract. A
hinged cap 11 covers filler tube 23. Cap 11 is integrally connected to
the insert 21 and locked in place by a snap action with the top of the
insert. Abstract.
ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS
As noted above, we interpret the language “a battery cell cover” as
reading on a cover having a single, as well as a multi-piece construction.
Thus, we are in agreement with the Examiner that the claimed cover reads
on Krabatsch’s combined cover 1 and insert 21. In addition, as noted by the
Examiner, the insert 21is locked to the cell cover 1 so as to form a single
cover structure. Finding of Fact 7.
