Ex parte HAUK - Page 9




          Appeal No. 96-3463                                                         
          Application 08/514,835                                                     


          die from the disparate teachings of either Wheeler and Inoue and           
          incorporate into the device of Hauk (who already teaches an                
          arrangement to prevent slippage by allowing both gripping dies to          
          move rotatably) in order to "allow for better gripping and                 
          ungripping" as the examiner proposes to do.  This being the case,          
          we will not sustain the rejection of claims 15, 17, 21 and 24              
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Hauk in view of           
          Wheeler or Inoue.                                                          
               The examiner's rejections of the appealed claims 35 U.S.C.            
          § 103 are reversed.                                                        
                                      REVERSED
