`
`Introduction
`
`REMARKS
`
`Claims 9-16 are pending, of which claims 9 and 12 are independent.
`
`Claims 1-8 have been cancelled without prejudice. Claims 9-16 have been added. The
`
`new claims are supported by, for example, FIGS. 8-9 and the corresponding description thereof
`
`in the specification. No new matter has been added.
`
`Substance of Interview
`
`Applicant thanks the Examiners for their time and courtesy during an interview
`
`conducted with the Applicant’s representative, Takashi Saito, on December 12, 2013. During
`
`the interview, the differences between the new claims and the prior art were discussed. The
`
`Examiners indicated that the new claims would likely overcome the present rejection. This
`
`response reflects the substance of the interview.
`
`Patentability under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
`
`Claims 1-8 were rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Satoshi
`
`(JP 2010—025471) in view of Ceroke (US 4,986,502). Since claims 1-8 have been cancelled, this
`
`rejection is moot.
`
`Patentability of New Claims
`
`Applicant respectfully submits that none of the cited references disclose or even suggest
`
`the configurations of claims 9-16.
`
`In particular, at a minimum, none of the cited references
`
`disclose “a protruding portion protrudingfrom the secondflange toward the storage, wherein an
`
`end ofthe protruding portion is positioned closer to the storage than the first surface of the
`
`packing in the close state,” as recited by new claim 9, and “a protruding portion protrudingfrom
`
`the second,flange toward the heat-insulating wall, wherein an end ofthe protruding portion is
`
`positioned closer to the heal—insulating wall than the first surface ofthe packing in the close
`
`state,” as recited by new claim 12.
`
`It is noted that the first surface of the packing is the one to
`
`abut the first flange in a close state. As such, Applicant submits that claims 9 and 12 and all
`
`claims dependent thereon are patentable over the cited references.
