          Appeal No. 95-3096                                                          
          Application 08/139,072                                                      


          in question would obviously be avoided by plugging the braided              
          lead onto the Boaz connector 18 before soldering the Boaz                   
          terminal to the conductor on the window.                                    
               Appellants also argue in their reply brief (page 1) that               
          Boaz does not disclose a brazed connection between the connecting           
          piece and braid, however, claim 5 does not recite a brazed                  
          connection.                                                                 
               Accordingly, the rejection of claim 5 will be sustained.               
          Since appellants state on page 6 of their brief that claims 1, 4            
          and 5 stand or fall together, the rejections of claims 1 and 4              
          will also be sustained.                                                     
          Conclusion                                                                  
               The examiner’s decision to reject claims 1, 4 and 5 is                 
          affirmed.                                                                   
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in connec-             
          tion with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
