Appeal No. 1997-0123
Application 08/368,926
from a manufacturing operation and not to a bending under
pressure as suggested by the Examiner.
Since we can find no basis in the applied prior art to
combine their teachings in the manner proposed by the
Examiner, we can not sustain the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of
independent claims 3, 6, 9, and 12, nor the rejection of
claims 5, 8, 11, and 14 which depend therefrom. Accordingly,
the decision of the Examine rejecting claims 3, 5, 6, 8, 9,
11, 12, and 14 is reversed.
