As such, if “between” includes an area unbounded by the boundary of the seat and intermediate sections and includes area outside those sections, then it would be a meaningless limitation because folding the legs under the seat section will necessarily cause the legs to fall into such an area. Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc. v. U.S. Surgical Corp, 93 F.3d 1572, 1578 (Fed. Cir. 1996) (rejecting an interpretation that renders a limitation meaninglessly empty).
