Appeal No. 96-1874
Application 08/215,467
another end with an interior cavity being defined
therebetween,
said interior cavity being sized so as to fit closely
over said nipple,
a handle joined to said cover by a cantilevered
connection at a point between the ends of said cover and
extending substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal
axis for a given length toward a free end,
said cantilevered connection extending for a relatively
short length along said longitudinal axis and said given
length being sufficiently long that application of force to
the free end of said handle will permit said handle to move at
least a portion
of said cover out of alignment with said longitudinal axis,
and
a loop member connected to said handle and formed from
elastomeric material, said loop being dimensioned so as to be
attachable to a portion of said firearm.
The examiner relies on the following references:
Haskins 35,418 May 27, 1862
Lunders 4,485,577 Dec. 04, 1984
Claims 1 and 2 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
As evidence of obviousness the examiner offers Haskins in view
of Lunders.
Rather than repeat the arguments of appellant or the
examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer for
the respective details thereof.
