          Appeal No. 98-1451                                         Page 9           
          Application No. 08/529,187                                                  


               For the reasons set forth above, the decision of the                   
          examiner to reject claims 1 through 17 and 19 under 35 U.S.C.               
          § 103 is reversed.                                                          


                            Remand for Appropriate Search                             
               This application is remanded to the examiner for                       
          consideration of a further search of the claimed subject                    
          matter.                                                                     


               The claimed subject matter is directed to an armature                  
          assembly support pallet (claims 1-16) and a support assembly                
          for use in an armature assembly support pallet (claims 17 and               
          19).   However, the disclosure (specification, p. 1) sets                   
          forth that this invention relates to an armature assembly                   
          support pallet used for conveying a partly constructed                      
          electric motor armature assembly during manufacture.  Thus, a               
          search should be considered in Class 198, Conveyors: Power-                 
          Driven.  Specifically, subclasses 803.5 and 867.04 appear to                
          be pertinent to the claimed subject matter.
