Appeal No. 98-0409 Application 08/420,480 countersink (a) for retaining cartridges in the holder. Nevertheless, in view of the combined teachings of Goss, Benward and Peckels the artisan would have found it obvious as a matter of "common sense" (see In re Bozek, supra) to additionally provide the holder of Goss with an inwardly extending tab "for better retention" of the cartridge as the examiner has proposed. This is especially the case, in our view, since Goss expressly recognizes the need to firmly and securely hold the cartridge in the holder and Benward teaches a pair of retaining members (i.e., the inwardly extending tabs 45) should be provided in order to ensure that there is "no danger" of the article being held from "falling out of the holder." Accordingly, we will sustain the rejection of claims 4 and 15-19 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 based on the combined teachings of Goss, Benward and Peckels.
