          FRANKFORT, Administrative Patent Judge.                                     


                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
                    This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's                  
          final rejection of claims 1 through 20, which are all of the                
          claims pending in the application.                                          


                    Appellant’s invention relates to a portable,                      
          foldable structure for the dressing of game animals in the                  
          field.  As can be seen in Figures 1 through 3, the device                   
          includes an elongated upper arm member (11) with a flange                   
          support portion (12) on one end thereof and a game animal                   
          support attachment (15) carried on the opposite end, and a                  
          lower arm member (13) attached to the upper arm member by a                 
          pivot attachment (23) and having means (25) on the opposite                 
          end thereof for engagement with a tree.     Figure 3, in                    
          particular, shows the open or use position of the device,                   
          wherein the flange support portion (12) associated with the                 
          upper arm member is held in place against a tree trunk by    a              
                                          2
