          Appeal No. 96-2189                                                          
          Application 07/969,731                                                      



                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of               
          claims 1 through 10, all of the claims pending in the present               
          application.                                                                
               The invention relates to an overcurrent trip unit for a                
          circuit breaker.  More particularly, the invention relates to               
          indicators associated on an user interface panel with a visual              
          protector curve representation of an adjustable trip function.              
          An exemplary visual protection representation is illustrated                
          in Figure 114 as element F22 in Appellants' specification.                  
          Appellants further disclose on pages 46 and of the                          
          specification that LED indicators D60 are associated with the               
          visual protection curve representation F22 shown in Figure                  
          114.  These LED indicators D60 illuminate red to indicate a                 
          trip.  In addition, when a trip parameter displayed by the                  
          display D86 is being adjusted, the associated LED indicator                 
          D60 illuminates green,                                                      
          a different color, in response to the adjustment.                           
               The independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                      
               1.  An overcurrent trip unit for an electrical circuit interrupting    
          device comprising:                                                          
                                          3
