(2) Claim 33 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable
over Rasmussen in view of Grass AG. To use lugs instead of
screws 79 to mount plate 72 would have been obvious in view of
Grass AG's disclosure at page 9, lines 14 to 16, that either

Conclusion
The examiner's decision to reject claims 14 to 16,
22, 23, 30, 32, 33, 35 and 36 is reversed. Claims 30 and 33
are rejected pursuant to 37 CFR § 1.196(b).
