It is not improper for the Examiner to rely solely on drawings to show the claimed relationship. Description via drawings and pictures can be relied upon alone as well as by words to disclose claimed subject matter if they clearly show the structure claimed. In re Mraz, 455 F.2d 1069, 1072 (CCPA 1972). Although, in the case of patent drawings not indicated as drawn to scale, it is improper to rely “on ‘a greatly enlarged section of a small drawing obviously never intended to show the dimensions of anything,’” that does “not mean that things patent drawings show clearly are to be disregarded.” Id. (quoting In re Wilson, 312 F.2d 449, 454 (CCPA 1963)).
