          Hart                          5,188,614                     Feb.            
          23, 1993

          1993                                                                        
               The claims stand finally rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103                
          as unpatentable over the following combinations of references:              
          1.   Claims 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20 and 21, over Hall in view of              
          Boese or Spier.                                                             
          2.   Claims 13 and 18, over Hall in view of Boese or Spier,                 
          further in view of Armao.                                                   
          3.   Claims 10 and 15, over Hall in view of Boese or Spier,                 
          further in view of Miskinyar.                                               
          4.   Claim 17, over Hall in view of Boese or Spier, further in              
          view of Hart.                                                               
               We will first consider the rejection of claim 21, the                  
          broadest claim on appeal.                                                   
               Appellant and the examiner both seem to agree (brief,                  
          page 4; answer, page 4) that the recited structure differs
