          function in the intended manner.  Such a double pivoting                    
          attachment, which is necessary in this type of device, is

          by the appellant in the Information Disclosure Statement (Paper             
          No. 2).                                                                     
               The rejection is not sustained.                                        
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
