          Appeal No. 97-4214                                                          
          Application 08/603,348                                                      


          that the standing 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) rejection of claim 11 is               
          unsound because Rosander does not meet the “scaffold                        
          supporting means” limitation in this claim is not well taken.               
               Therefore, we shall sustain the examiner’s rejection of                
          claim 11 and of claims 12 through 22 which stand or fall                    
          therewith.                                                                  
               The decision of the examiner is affirmed.                              




               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).
