          Appeal No. 95-3237                                                          
          Application 08/154,721                                                      







                    Claims 1, 2, 6 and 7 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.               
          § 103 as being unpatentable over Hall in view of Bogdanow.                  
          Claim 3 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being                      
          unpatentable over Hall in view of Bogdanow and further in view of           
          Luscomb, Locke or McCarthy.  Claims 8 and 9 stand rejected under            
          35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Hall in view of                  
          Bogdanow and further in view of Kellett.  Claims 10 and 11 stand            
          rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Hall              
          in view of Bogdanow and further in view of Appellant's admitted             
          prior art.                                                                  
                    Rather than reiterate the arguments of Appellant and              
          the Examiner, reference is made to the brief and answer for the             
          respective details thereof.                                                 


                                       OPINION                                        
                    We will not sustain the rejection of claims 1 through 3           
          and 6 through 11 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                     
                    The Examiner has failed to set forth a prima facie                
          case.  It is the burden of the Examiner to establish why one                

                                          3
