          Appeal No. 96-0953                                                          
          Application 08/014,682                                                      


          device. The evidence of obviousness before us is simply devoid of           
          disclosure relative to the particularly claimed elongated                   
          alignment groove. Accordingly, the rejection on appeal cannot be            
          sustained.                                                                  
                    The decision of the examiner is reversed.
