          Appeal No. 2000-0449                                                        
          Application No. 08/636,614                                                  


               The additional references applied in these rejections do               
          not overcome the deficiencies of the Stanley-Gossett                        
          combination noted above, and thus rejections (4) and (5) will               
          not be sustained.                                                           
          Conclusion                                                                  
               The examiner’s decision to reject claims 16 and 17 under               
          35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is affirmed; to reject claim 1 under 35                  
          U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, is reversed; and to reject                   
          claims 1, 2 and 4 to 9 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed.                





















                                         14
