OFFICE ACTION:
DETAILED ACTION
The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA .
This Office Action is in response to the claims filed on 09/20/2025.
Claims 1-2 and 5-20 are currently pending and have been examined below. Claims 3-4 have been cancelled.
Quayle Action
This application is in condition for allowance except for the following formal matters:
Claim Objections
Claims 1 and 2 are objected to because of the following informalities:
In line 10 of claim 1, “configure to receive” should read -- configured to receive --.
In line 13 of claim 1, “the fixed element” should read --a fixed element--.
In line 1 of claim 2, “further comprising a fixed element that is” should read --wherein the fixed element is--
Appropriate correction is required. Above provides non-limiting examples, the applicant(s) must find and correct all issues similar to those discussed above.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112
Applicant’s amendments directed to the new matter issues in the previous Office Action have been considered and the rejection was withdrawn.
Allowable Subject Matter
Claims 1-2 and 5-20 are allowed.
As allowable subject matter has been indicated, applicant's reply must either comply with all formal requirements or specifically traverse each requirement not complied with.  See 37 CFR 1.111(b) and MPEP § 707.07(a).
The following is an examiner’s statement of reasons for allowance: the prior art Schmock (EP 2116680) seems to disclose most of the limitations of claim 1.
However, claim 1 was amended to recite:
(i) “a movable element that includes a receptacle configure to receive a first portion of the pin shaft such that the pin shaft moves with the movable element, the movable element comprises a channel that is offset from the receptacle”; and
(ii) “the rivet pin passes through the channel to be received in the fixed element”.
Regarding (i), Schmock does disclose a movable element (4) with a receptacle (part of 2 that receives the pin shaft 21), however it does not have a channel that is offset from the receptacle. Interpreting part 2 as the movable element as it has a receptacle and a channel (17) would be unreasonable because Schmock discloses element 2 as fixed to the frame 39 (see page 7 of Schmock below) also the receptacle would not be offset to the channel as shown in figures 2-3.

page 7 of Schmock
Regarding (ii), the interpreted rivet pin 26 is fixed to the fixed element 2, but fails to pass through a channel. Examiner notes that interpreting the rivet pin as other pins (e.g., 14 or 28) would be unreasonable as claim 1 requires the rivet pin to be stationary (see lines 12-13 of claim 1).
Additionally, examiner also considered interpreting the rivet pin as part 21 such that it passes through the channel 17 to be received in the fixed element 4, however ultimately decided that this interpretation was unreasonable as part 4 is not fixed nor does pin 21 is stationary.
Therefore, examiner has concluded that the mechanism of Schmock has a completely different arrangement/design than applicant’s invention such that Schmock fails to meet all limitations required by claim 1.
Independent claim 19 recites a covering which incorporates the mechanism of claim 1 as such the prior art also fails to meet the limitations of claim 19 for the same reasons above.
Examiner also cites Pacini (US 9518416) and Balbo Di Vinadio (US 9512658) for having similar constructions as the covering of applicant’s invention. However, both prior art do not disclose an arm with a slot.
Further modifications such that any of the prior art mentioned above meets the claim limitations would require hindsight and/or a piece-meal rejection such that examiner finds them unreasonable to apply.
Any comments considered necessary by applicant must be submitted no later than the payment of the issue fee and, to avoid processing delays, should preferably accompany the issue fee.  Such submissions should be clearly labeled “Comments on Statement of Reasons for Allowance.”
Conclusion
Prosecution on the merits is closed in accordance with the practice under Ex parte Quayle, 25 USPQ 74, 453 O.G. 213, (Comm’r Pat. 1935).
A shortened statutory period for reply to this action is set to expire TWO (2) MONTHS from the mailing date of this letter. Extensions of time may be granted under  37 CFR 1.136 but in no case can any extension carry the date for reply to this Office action beyond the maximum period of SIX MONTHS set by statute (35 U.S.C. 133).

APPLICANT REBUTTAL: ARGUMENTS / REMARKSApplicant thanks the Examiner for reviewing the application.These remarks are filed in response to the Office Action of June 23, 2025, a response to which is due by Sept. 23, 2025. Accordingly, the Applicants respectfully submit that no extension of time fees fall due in connection with the filing of this paper. If the Applicant is incorrect, the Commissioner is hereby authorized to deduct any necessary fees from our Deposit Ac- count No. 604391.Claim Status Claims 1, 2, and 5-20 are currently pending. Claim 1 is an independent claim, and claims 2, and 5-18 depend, directly or indirectly, from claim 1.Claim 19 is an independent claim, and claim 20 depends from claim 19.Claim 1 has been amended to incorporate the subject matter of claims 3 and 4, which have now been cancelled.35 USC 112 1.    Claims 1-20 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(a) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA), first paragraph, as failing to comply with the written description requirement. The claim(s) contains subject matter which was not described in the specification in such a way as to reasonably convey to one skilled in the relevant art that the inventor or a joint inventor, or for applications subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, the inventor(s), at the time the application was filed, had possession of the claimed invention.Claim 1 has been amended to incorporate the subject matter of claims 3 and 4, which have now been cancelled.Claim 1 has also been amended to recite, inter alia, "a distance between the rivet pin and the pin shaft remains constant in a direction perpendicular to a length of the channel in a plane de- fined by the receptacle and the channel". This amendment finds support at least in FIGs. 4-5, which show that distance between the receptacle 801 that receives the first portion of the pin shaft and the channel 803 that the rivet pin passes through is constant in the direction perpen- dicular to the length of the channel.35 USC 102 2.    Claims 1-3, 14-16, and 19-20 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(1) as being anticipated by Schmock (EP 2116680).Schmock is in German. As such, the following discussion is based on the machine translation thereof obtained from the EPO website.Claim 1 has been amended to incorporate the subject matter of claims 3 and 4, which have now been cancelled.Claim 4 was not objected to for being anticipated by Schmock, suggesting that it is not antic- ipated by Schmock. By incorporating the subject matter of claim 4, claim 1 as amended is also not anticipated.Schmock discloses a curved slot, rather than the straight and angled sections as recited in instant claim 1. Schmock describes that the "first control lever 22 has a first guide slot 24 which is designed as an arcuate slot 25". According to Merriam-Webster, arcuate means "curved like a bow", suggesting that the slot is curved, in contrast to "a straight section ...and an angled section ..." as recited in instant claim 1.Consequently, Schmock does not disclose "a hole disposed between an end of the slot and an end of the arm distal from the straight section, and a centre of the hole is offset from a centreline of the straight section" as recited in instant claim 1.Schmock does disclose "a distance between the rivet pin and the pin shaft remains constant in a direction perpendicular to a length of the channel in a plane defined by the receptacle and the channel".* Paragraph 0026 of Schmock discloses that the guide element 19 of the drive element 4 is connected to the first control lever 22 vial the pivot bearing 21. Paragraph 0028 of Schmock discloses that figure 3 shows the drive element 4 has been moved in the direction of the extended end 18. Therefore, the drive element 4 moves, the pivot bearing 21 that is connected to the drive element 4 also moves, such that the distance between the pivot bearing 21 and the stationary guide projection 26 changes.* The Office Action admits that Schmock does not disclose a channel. Therefore, Schmock cannot disclose a constant distance relationship defined in part by a channel.For at least these reasons, claim 1 as amended is not anticipated by Schmock. Claims 2 and 14-16 are also not anticipated by Schmock at least because they depend, directly or indirectly, from claim 1 as amended.Claim 19 is also not anticipated at least because it recites the mechanism of claim 1. Claim 20 is not anticipated at least because it depends from claim 19.35 USC 103 3.    Claims 4-13 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Schmock, as applied to claims 1-3, 14-16, and 19-20 above, in view of Tremblay (US 6431620).4.    Claims 17-18 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Schmock, as applied to claims 1-3, 14-16, and 19-20 above.Applicant respectfully traverses and submits that claim 1 as amended is unobvious over Schmock in view of Tremblay.a.    The combination does not teach or suggest the feature "a distance between the rivet pin and the pin shaft remains constant in a direction perpendicular to a length of the channel in a plane defined by the receptacle and the channel" as recited in amended claim 1.As discussed above, Schmock's pivot bearing (21) moves relative to its guide projection (26).Adding Tremblay's channel defined by the two 38s, which is part of an actuating rod (20) that moves, would not alter this fundamental relationship. The distance between these points in Schmock's mechanism is variable, not constant as required by claim 1. The Office Action provides no reasoning for how this combination would result in the constant distance as re- cited in instant claim 1.Therefore, for argument's sake without conceding on this point, even if the channel defined by the two 38s is equivalent to the channel as recited in instant claim 1, the combination of Schmock and Tremblay does not teach "a distance between the rivet pin and the pin shaft remains constant in a direction perpendicular to a length of the channel in a plane defined by the receptacle and the channel".b.    The functions of the channels are fundamentally different.As alleged in the Office Action, the function of the channel is "to cover the parts of the mechanism thus protecting them from the environment and reducing the chances of dust or debris from building up which could break the mechanism, which is not part of the function of opening and closing the window.In contrast, the channel as recited in instant claim 1 is an integral part of the movable ele- ment that is directly involved in the opening/closing function.c.    The proposed combination would alter the principle of operation As shown in the figures of Schmock, the mechanism of Schmock requires the interplay among lever 22, lever 31, and the arm 11 to function. To add the channel defined by the two 38s, which is a part of the actuating rod 20 of Tremblay, a linearly moving component (see, e.g., column 12 lines 47 to column 13 line 11 of the description), to the mechanism of Schmock would require a significant redesign of the mechanism of Schmock. It would also require changing the mechanism of Tremblay, which discloses that the actuating rod 20 is moved by the handle lever 140 (see, e.g., column 15 line 53 to column 16 line 3), which is of a structure significantly different from the levers 22, 31, and arm 11 of Schmock.-'For at least these reasons, it is respectfully submitted that claim 1 as amended is unobvious over Schmock in view of Tremblay. Claims 2 and 5-18 are also unobvious Claim 19 is not obvious at least because it recites the mechanism of claim 1. Claim 20 is not obvious at least because it depends from claim 19.It is believed that the Applicant's remarks with respect to the rejections contained in the Of- fice Action are sufficient to address the rejections. It is respectfully submitted that the Appli- cant's silence with respect to any parts of the Office Action does not constitute an admission by the Applicant to the correctness of such parts and hereby reserve the right to analyze and dispute such parts in the future in this application, related applications and otherwise as needed.Favorable reconsideration and allowance of this application are respectfully requested. If the Examiner believes that additional amendments to the claims may be required to secure al- lowance of this application; the Examiner is invited to phone the undersigned at the below- noted number to facilitate the prosecution of subject application.Respectfully submitted, /Lei Gao/ Lei Gao, Reg. #79042 Date: September 04, 2025 Customer No. 171784 18 King St E, Suite 1400 Toronto, ON M5C 1C4 Canada Phone: 4168009757
