          Application 08/424,247                                                      



          Before COHEN, FRANKFORT and NASE, Administrative Patent                     
          Judges.                                                                     
          FRANKFORT, Administrative Patent Judge.                                     



                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
                    This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's                  
          final rejection of claims 1, 5, 8, 11, 14 and 16. Claims 3, 4,              
          6, 7,   9, 10, 12 and 13 stand allowed.  Claim 15, the only                 
          other claim pending herein, has been objected to by the                     
          examiner and indicated to be allowable if rewritten in                      
          independent form.  Claim 2 has been canceled.                               


                    Appellant's invention relates to a shade assembly                 
          for the windshield or windows of a motor vehicle.  Claim 1 is               
          representative of the subject matter on appeal and a copy of                
          that claim, as it appears in the Appendix to appellant's                    
          brief, is attached to this decision.                                        


                    The prior art references of record relied upon by                 
          the examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:                          

                                          2
