Appeal No. 1999-0523
Application 08/797,523
11 must be reversed. We also reverse each of the respective
rejections of appellant’s claim 7 and claims 8 and 9 under 35
U.S.C. § 103
since the additionally applied Halstrick and Ferdinand patents
are not seen to overcome the deficiency of the Cohen refer-
ence.
REMAND TO THE EXAMINER
We remand this application to the examiner to con-
sider the patentability of the claimed subject matter under 35
U.S.C. § 102(b) and 35 U.S.C. § 103 based upon the teaching
of Gasner (U.S. Patent No. 3,510,010), of record in the appli-
cation, alone and/or in combination with other known prior
art. As can be
discerned from a review of the Gasner patent (Fig. 2), this
document fairly teaches, inter alia, a post 10 including a
wing portion 22 (shoulder) projecting from a front face 18
(side wall) of the post, with a slot 30 in the wing portion
(shoulder).
