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

          by 37 CFR § 1.192(c)(8)(iv).  We noted in our decision                        
          (D14-15) that Umezawa has only one locking member 21 and that                 
          elements 19 and 20 noted by the examiner cannot be considered                 
          locking members.  Accordingly, we now reverse the anticipation                
          rejection of claims 11 and 13 over Umezawa.                                   





























                                        - 11 -
