Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103 The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103 which forms the basis for all obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action: A patent for a claimed invention may not be obtained, notwithstanding that the claimed invention is not identically disclosed as set forth in section 102, if the differences between the claimed invention and the prior art are such that the claimed invention as a whole would have been obvious before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the claimed invention pertains. Patentability shall not be negated by the manner in which the invention was made. Claim s 1- 7 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Musick (US 9,705,225) in view of Liu et al. (CN 207403595) and further in view of Miyazaki (US 2004/0266261) . Regarding claim 1 , Musick disclose a charging gun including a gun head ( 1 0 ), one end of said gun head is provided with a waterproof pad ( 2 0 ), and the rear side of the waterproof pad is connected with a terminal cover ( 18 ); the interior of said terminal cover is connected with terminals ( 12 ), and the outer side of the terminals are provided with terminal rubber coatings ( 6 ), and one end of said terminals is connected with a terminal wiring harness ( 14 ); the outer side of the terminal located at the outer side of the terminal is provided with a left gun shell ( 34B ), one side of the left gun shell is connected with a right gun shell ( 34A ) . Musick substantially disclosed the claimed invention except riveting screw s, changeable color block according to temperature change, the waterproof pad is a silicone pad, and a rubber coating is o the outer side of the terminal. Liu et al. teaching screws (5), changeable color block (2). It would have been obvious to one having ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention was made to provide the screws and the changeable color block into Musick’s charging gun, as taught by Liu et al. for attaching the shells together and to displace the status of the charging gun. Musick in view of Liu substantially disclosed the claimed invention except the changeable color block according to temperature change. It has been held that a recitation with respect to the man n er in which a claimed apparatus is intended to be employed does not differentiate the claimed apparatus from a prior art apparatus satisfying the claimed structural limitation. Ex Parte Masham , 2 USPQ2d 1647 (1987). Musick substantially disclosed the waterproof pad is a silicone material. It would have been obvious to one having ordinary skill in the art at the time the invention was made to have silicone material for waterproofing the charging gun, since it has been held that to be within the general skill of a worker in the art to select a known material on the basis of its suitability for the intended use as a matter of obvious design choice. In re Leshin , 125 USPQ 416. Musick substantially disclosed the claimed invention except a rubber coat ing is provided on the terminal. Miyazaki teach a rubber coating (31) is provided on a terminal (26) It would have been obvious to one having ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention was made to provide the rubber coating on Musick’s terminal , as taught by Miyazaki retaining the terminal in the charging gun. Regarding claim 2 , in the modified charging gun , Musick discloses inside the terminal cover is provided with limiting holes, and the terminals penetrate through the limiting holes and extend to the inside of the gun head; there are a plurality groups of terminals and limiting holes. 1565695 744316 0 0 1500996 382005 0 0 1532554 594420 1427492 177417 holes 0 0 holes Regarding claim 3 , in the modified charging gun , Liu et al. discloses the top of said left gun shell and right gun shell are both provided with empty slots, and the empty slots are fixedly connected with the changeable color block by injection molding. 2398107 28755 s lots 0 0 s lots 2416966 167401 0 0 441349 1250315 s lots 0 0 s lots 728932 1159486 0 0 Regarding claims 4 and 7, the method claim is deemed inherence as Musick in view of Liu et al. substantially disclosed the charging gun apparatus. One skill in the art understood that apparatus must be made by injection molding comprising following steps: Step 1: The gun shell is firstly injection molded as a whole, leaving the position of the changeable color block empty; Step 2: completely filling the position of the changeable color block at the position of the changeable color block of the gun shell by secondary injection molding; Step 3: assembling the gun head, silicone waterproof pad, terminal cover, terminal component, first riveting screw, second riveting screw, left gun shell, and right gun shell. the integral injection molding of the gun shell in step 1 adopts PC material, and the injection molding adopts the traditional injection molding process of injection molding in one shot. Regarding claim 5 , in the modified charging gun, Musick et al. substantially disclosed the claimed invention except the material of the changeable color block from 50° C. red temperature-sensitive material, 38° C. orange temperature-sensitive material . It would have been obvious to one having ordinary skill in the art at the time the invention was made to choose the claimed material, since it has been held that to be within the general skill of a worker in the art to select a known material on the basis of its suitability for the intended use as a matter of obvious design choice. In re Leshin , 125 USPQ 416. Regarding claim 6 , in the modified charging gun, Musick et al. substantially disclosed the claimed invention except the ratio of 1:200 added with red and orange temperature-sensitive material to fill the position of the changeable color block completely. It would have been obvious to one having ordinary skill in the art at the time the invention was to made to provide the ratio of 1:200 for optimum performance, since it has been held that where the general conditions of a claim a are disclosed in the prior art, discovering the optimum or workable ranges involves only routine skill in the art.
