          Appeal No. 96-2741                                                            
          Application 08/227,093                                                        

          request for rehearing to the extent it requests reversal of                   
          our decision with respect to the rejection of claim 11 over                   
          Kotitalo.                                                                     
               Appellants similarly argue that "[Watanabe] only                         
          discloses one cradle which the door 2 is pivotably mounted to"                
          (RR4).  The same arguments made with respect to Kotitalo apply                
          to Watanabe.  The telephone in Watanabe is cradled both by the                
          holder 3 and by the door 2 (figure 8).  Appellants have not                   
          convinced us that a telephone can have only a single cradle or                
          that part of the structure that supports the telephone cannot                 
          be termed a cradle.  Appellants have not convinced us that it                 
          was error to consider the door 2 to be a cradle.  Accordingly,                
          we deny appellants' request for rehearing to the extent it                    
          requests reversal of our decision with respect to the                         
          rejection of claim 11 over Watanabe.
