Original <strong>Description</strong>, etc<br />
Title <strong>of</strong> the Invention<br />
Rolling controller for traveling units <strong>of</strong> a<br />
combine<br />
Amended <strong>Description</strong>, etc<br />
Title <strong>of</strong> the Invention<br />
…<br />
Scope <strong>of</strong> <strong>Claims</strong><br />
[Claim 1]<br />
A rolling controller for a combine with<br />
crawler traveling units at both sides <strong>of</strong> the<br />
combine body, wherein a pair <strong>of</strong> oil hydraulic<br />
cylinders, which respectively work for both<br />
traveling units, are arranged in a manner so that<br />
one side <strong>of</strong> each oil hydraulic cylinder is attached<br />
to one respective travelling unit <strong>and</strong> the other side<br />
<strong>of</strong> each hydraulic cylinder is attached to the body.<br />
Excerpts from the Detailed Explanation <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Invention<br />
This invention relates to a rolling<br />
controller which prevents a running combine from<br />
inclining due to projections <strong>and</strong> recesses <strong>of</strong> rice or<br />
other fields.<br />
Scope <strong>of</strong> <strong>Claims</strong><br />
[Claim 1]<br />
A rolling controller for a combine with<br />
crawler traveling units at both sides <strong>of</strong> the<br />
combine body, wherein a pair <strong>of</strong> oil hydrostatic<br />
cylinders, which respectively work for both<br />
traveling units, are arranged in a manner so that<br />
one side <strong>of</strong> each oil hydrostatic cylinder is<br />
attached to one respective travelling unit <strong>and</strong> the<br />
other side <strong>of</strong> each hydrostatic cylinder is attached<br />
to the body.<br />

[Conclusion]<br />
The amendment is not within the scope <strong>of</strong> the matters stated in the originally attached description,<br />
etc.<br />
[Explanatory Note]<br />
The claim is amended to change the original expression, “oil hydraulic cylinders,” to “hydrostatic<br />
cylinders,” which is a generic concept <strong>of</strong> hydraulic cylinders.<br />
Generally, “hydrostatic cylinders” could include compressible fluid cylinders, such as “pneumatic<br />
cylinders,” while the originally attached description, etc. merely mentions a rolling controller merely using<br />
“oil hydraulic cylinders” as the invention. Both arts have different characteristics, attachments, <strong>and</strong> control<br />
modes because they have different properties, that is, “compressible fluid” <strong>and</strong> “incompressible fluid.”<br />
Consequently, it is not considered that a person skilled in the art who contacts the originally attached<br />
description, etc. would underst<strong>and</strong> that the rolling controller includes “pneumatic cylinders” as if they were<br />
stated therein.<br />
